Authors: Du Xinming , Tan Elaine S. , Elhan-Kayalar Yesim , Sawada Yasuyuki
Published: October 2022

This paper uses spatially granular surface urban heat island (SUHI) data to quantify the impact of COVID-19-related containment policies on economic output in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Governments have adopted various policies and measures to control the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Results of the study suggest containment measures in the PRC decreased SUHI in locked cities marginally yet generated positive and negative spillover effects in unlocked cities, with positive effects dominating. The paper also notes that initial experiences helped inform the management of containment measures in the country.

Published: October 2022

Chenopodiaceae is a large, diverse and cosmopolitan family within the order
Carophyllales. The majority of Chenopodiaceae species are adapted to saline,
hypersaline, xerophytic and xerohalophytic communities or ruderal habitats.
The family Chenopodiaceae is stenopolinous the pollen grains are monad and
exclusively polypantoporate with tiny spinules on both tectum and operculum.
Pollen morphology of six genera of Chenopodiaceae (Seidlitzia, Atriplex,
Bassia, Salsola, Krascheninnikovia and Spinacia) have been studied in
details. These plant species were collected from different phytogeographical
regions of Iran. The palynological investigation was done using scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Pollen characters studied in this
study include pollen and pore diameters, number and density of apertures,
interporal distance (chord), chord/pollen diameter ratio, pore
diameter/pollen diameter ratio as well as spinule density on tectum and
operculum. We used different multivariate statistical methods to reveal the
species relationships. Ward clustering analyses have been done to check out
the relationship among the species. The shapes of pollen grains were
radially symmetrical, isopolar, pantopolyporate and spheroidal. Their exine
structure is similar. In the Chenopodiaceae, three pollen types have been
defined, mainly on the basis of pollen grain size, pore number, number of
microechinae on pore membrane, the density of spinules, and pore edge shape.

Published: October 2022

The over use of antibiotics to treat infections in humans and animals made a
phenomenon of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria. While studies focused to
find on new antibiotics but, identification of novel antibacterial targets
in bacteria is very important. By Toxin antitoxin systems this hypothesis
could be done, whereas by the activation of a toxin or inactivation of an
antitoxin, the raised toxin kills the bacterium. These systems are
attractive target for antimicrobial therapy. However, the most important
step for potency of TA system, as an antibacterial target, is to identify a
TA system that is prevalent in all resistant clinical isolates. So, the
prevalence of different TA systems among clinical isolates of Acinetobacter
baumannii in Emam khomeini hospital, Ilam, Iran was evaluated to determine
which TA system is prevalent in all antibiotic resistant A. baumannii. So,
one hundred A. baumannii clinical isolates were identified during one-year
period in Emam khomeini hospital, Ilam, Iran. A. baumannii clinical isolates
were isolated from hospitalized patients in ICU and burn patients. All
isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic. Then, the isolates were
subjected to evaluation to find mazEF and higBA TA genes by PCR. The results
showed the frequency of mazEF and highBA TA genes in all isolates was 72%
and 39%, respectively. mazEF or higBA TA systems are not presented in all
isolates. So, the potency of these two TA systems are in challenged. Also,
all isolates were not positive for one TA gene. So, more research in
different geographical area should be done with functionality of TA genes.

Published: October 2022

As a result of the hybridization of ?Sevgi? and ?Ka?ka? cultivars with
?Fortuna? cultivar, which are bred within Cukurova University, superior
characteristic strawberry genotypes with codes of ?33?, ?36? and ?61? were
selected. In this study, these genotypes and three cultivars commonly grown
in the Mediterranean region were compared in terms of yield, fruit size and
taste determining parameters (sugar and organic acids) at different harvest
date monthly under Mediterranean climate condition. The highest yield was
measured generally in April, while the genotype-dependent yield varied
between 628.9 g / plant (?36?) and 951.5 g / plant (?Fortuna?). Besides,
average fruit weight varied (6.8 - 23.9 g) during the season depending on
the harvest date and genotype. The sucrose content varied between 0.06 g /
100 g and 4.83 g / 100 g, while the ascorbic acid content showed huge
variation depending on the harvest date and genotype with 1.5 mg kg and
393.8 mg/kg values. Generally, the 33-advanced selection attracted attention
with its relatively high yield, glucose, fructose, and ascorbic acid
content. As a result, genotype and environmental conditions are quite
determinant in terms of observed parameters in strawberry cultivation.
Furthermore, biotechnological methods could be utilized to shorten breeding
time in classical crossbreeds to improve the deficiencies of these
genotypes.
GDNF rs2910702, rs3096140, and rs3812047 polymorphisms in obsessive compulsive disorder: Preliminary study
Authors: Orenay-Boyacioglu Seda , Caliskan Metin , Dondu Ayse
Published: October 2022

The neurobiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is evidenced by a
strong demonstration of malfunctions in the serotonergic and dopaminergic
system. Recently, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) gene
polymorphisms have been emphasized in psychiatric diseases and treatment
strategies that have been tried to be developed in this regard. In the
literature, there are several studies investigating the relationship between
GDNF gene polymorphisms and psychiatric diseases excluding OCD. Therefore,
this study aimed to compare the symptomatology and GDNF gene polymorphisms
in early and late-onset OCD patients. For this purpose, patients diagnosed
with OCD according to DSM-V diagnostic criteria in structured clinical
interviews were grouped as early and late-onset based on the age of
initiation. DNA was isolated from blood samples collected from 140 subjects
(70 OCD and 70 healthy controls) in EDTA tubes, and rs2910702, rs3096140,
and rs3812047 polymorphisms in GDNF gene were examined by Real-Time PCR. No
significant correlation was detected between GDNF and the rs2910702,
rs3096140, and rs3812047 polymorphisms in early and late-onset OCD subjects
(P>0.05). Failure to detect correlations between OCD and GDNF gene
polymorphisms might be due to the variable expression pattern of the GDNF
gene in different tissues and pathologies. Therefore, future studies might
be improved by including a larger group of patients and examining a wider
range of tissues for the expression pattern of GDNF.
MiR-146a gene variant rs2910164 might be associated with coronary in-stent restenosis risk: Results from a pilot study and meta-analysis
Authors: Mihajlovic Milica , Savic-Veselinovic Marija , Farkic Mihajlo , Zeljic Katarina
Published: October 2022

Coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) is an adverse effect that occurs in 20-35%
of patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with
stent implantation. The fact that not all patients will develop ISR
indicates that genetic factors contribute to ISR susceptibility. Previous
studies have reported that various micro RNA (miRNA) molecules regulate
biological processes underlying ISR development, including miR-146a which is
involved in regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation and
neointima formation. Nucleotide variants in miRNA genes can affect the
function of mature miRNAs. mir-146a rs2910164 gene variant is located in the
seed region of mature miR-146a, key region for the regulation of target
mRNAs. The current study aimed to examine the association between rs2910164
variant in mir-146a gene and coronary ISR risk in a group of Serbian
patients and to enhance the study by performing a meta-analysis. Samples of
peripheral blood were obtained from 61 patients who previously underwent PCI
with stent implantation, 25 (41%) of which had angiographically confirmed
ISR. There were no significant differences in allele and genotype
distribution of rs2910164 variant between patients with and without ISR. In
a Serbian group of patients, the analyzed variant was not associated with
the ISR risk. Results of the meta-analysis showed that heterozygous GC
genotype is associated with decreased risk to ISR (OR=0.475, P=0.006),
indicating its protective role in ISR formation.

Published: October 2022

Maize is a poor source of protein both for humans and monogastric animals due
to the lack of essential amino acids, such as lysine and tryptophan.
Naturally occurring opaque2 (o2) mutation increases content of these amino
acids, but also confers an undesirable phenotype leading to low yields.
Quality protein maize (QPM) is agronomically acceptable and nutritionally
improved opaque2 maize obtained through conventional breeding. Marker
assisted breeding program aimed at developing QPM genotypes for growing in
temperate regions is being conducted at Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje
(MRIZP). The results presented in this paper relate to foreground selection
aimed to identify plants that attained homozygosity at o2 locus in BC2F2
generation in conversion of four MRIZP commercial inbred lines. Maize inbred
line ZPL5 converted to its QPM counterpart and adapted to temperate climate
was used as o2 donor to the four recurrent parents (RP). Foreground
selection was carried out with gene-specific markers phi057 and umc1066,
both segregating as per the expectation. The percentage of recessive
homozygotes in BC2F2 generation was approximately 25% (24.6% in RP1, 23.3%
in RP2, 25% in RP3 and 24.4% in RP4). After the self-pollination of selected
recessive homozygotes, BC2F3 progenies were screened for phenotypic and
biochemical characteristics to confirm their nutritional and agronomical
superiority. The results of scoring endosperm modifications revealed over
95% of hard endosperm kernels. The average tryptophan content ranged from
0.070% in RP1 to 0.087% in RP3. Out of 39 derivations from four lines, 19
had tryptophan content above the QPM threshold (0.075%). A total of 16
derivations were chosen for their highest tryptophan content. Their quality
index was increased by 2-46% relative to the recurrent parent. These line
will serve as an important breeding material for developing QPM maize
hybrids adapted to temperate regions.

Published: October 2022

Tayside is a region in the East of Scotland and forms one of nine local government regions in the country. It is home to approximately 416,000 individuals who fall under the National Health Service (NHS) Tayside health board, which provides health care services to the population. In Tayside, Scotland, a comprehensive informatics network for diabetes care and research has been established for over 25 years. This has expanded more recently to a comprehensive Scotland-wide clinical care system, Scottish Care Information - Diabetes (SCI-Diabetes). This has enabled improved diabetes screening and integrated management of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiovascular health, and other comorbidities. The regional health informatics network links all of these specialized services with comprehensive laboratory testing, prescribing records, general practitioner records, and hospitalization records. Not only do patients benefit from the seamless interconnectedness of these data, but also the Tayside bioresource has enabled considerable research opportunities and the creation of biobanks. In this article we describe how health informatics has been used to improve care of people with diabetes in Tayside and Scotland and, through anonymized data linkage, our understanding of the phenotypic and genotypic etiology of diabetes and associated complications and comorbidities.

Published: October 2022

Purpose: Teachers have crucial influence on shaping students’ values and behaviors either directly or indirectly besides implementing the curriculum. The current study examined the effects of gender, job position, seniority, marital status and educational status on principals and teachers’ value orientations.
Design/Methodology/Approach: To understand teachers’ values, we used survey research design. We conducted group comparison analyses (t-test and ANOVA) to determine whether gender, job position, seniority, marital status and educational status led to a difference in teachers' value preferences.
Findings: The values that are considered the most important by teachers were “hedonism” and the least mean score in “stimulation”. Also, the variable of gender caused a statistically significant difference in the values of “achievement”, “benevolence”, “security” and “universalism” in favor of female teachers. Single teachers have higher level of “achievement”, “benevolence”, “security”, “self-direction”, “stimulation” and “universalism” values. With regard to educational status, no meaningful difference was found towards value orientations. Also, age and seniority variables didn’t cause meaningful difference.
Highlights: It is important to reveal the values ​​adopted by teachers and school principals to make sense of education systems. Especially today's changing structure makes it necessary to determine the values ​​adopted in educational organizations by repeating them in different periods.

Abstract: In this paper are presented the resuts of a study regarding the self-perceived assessmnet skills of Romanian teachers. An instrument regarding the self-perceived assessment skills was applied to N=108 teachers. From the seven factors of the instrument, it was found that the Romanian teachers who participated in this study reported that they are the least skilled in a) nonachievement-based grading and b) standardized testing, test revision, and instructional improvement. In a second study, items related to the practices of nonachievement-based grading were applied to N=185 teachers. The analysis of data revealed that the teachers use occasionally this practice. A focus group (N=5 Chemistry student teachers) on the topic of inclusion of nonachievement factors in grading was undertaken. Altrough the participants’ opinions varied, the overall conclusion was that some nonachievement factors could be included in grading, and the participants proposed some specific conditions for this.

Authors: MULYATNO Carolus Borromeus
Published: October 2022

For many years, the Indonesian people have lived in a harmonious diversity of religions and beliefs. In the last decade, the harmony of living together has been torn apart by various issues of horizontal conflict, which are often triggered by religious sentiments. In the context of a multi-religious Indonesia, this qualitative research using Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (unity in diversity) method and the interpretative phenomenological analysis focusing on exploring Pancasila as the foundation for constructing religious education. The purpose of this research is to emphasize that Pancasila is an articulation of religious values that unites various groups of people in the midst of problems and threats of disharmony in a multireligious Indonesia. There are three important ideas generated from this research. First, religious education in schools, families, and communities applies the values of Pancasila as moral imperatives that bind each person with a different religious background to work in developing a harmonious and brotherly social life. Second, religious experience and belief are the main content of religious learning in schools that unites individuals from different religious backgrounds. Third, religious learning in schools in the context of multicultural-religious Indonesia is oriented towards developing solidarity and compassion with others in a harmonious living together.

This study's goal is to look at the impact of accounting information systems on the performance of Lebanese Banks. This research examines the relevance of using the Accounting Information System (AIS) obtained by Accounting Software (AS) to achieve business success for the owners and management of the organization. Accounting software features such as efficiency; accuracy; dependability; data quality; and simplicity of use are used in this study as a predictor of bank performance. The data for this study was gathered by a survey that included 100 responses from employees of 35 Lebanese commercial banks, which were then studied. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 20) was used to perform correlation and multilinear regression analyses on the data. Efficiencies, dependability, and simplicity of use all correlated positively with bank performance, but data quality and accuracy negatively related to bank performance.

Виділено основні характеристики методологічного підходу: комплексний характер і сукупність ідей. Схарактеризовано такі основні методологічні підходи: системний, синергетичний, культурологічний, аксіологічний, діяльнісний, інформаційний.
ІМПЛЕМЕНТАЦІЯ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ STEM-ОСВІТИ У ТЕХНІЧНИХ ВИШАХ
Authors: Ісаєва Оксана , Шайнер Ганна
Published: October 2022

За останнє десятиліття STEAM-освіта набула популярності і швидкої імплементації у вишах та розглядається як пріоритет у традиційному навчанні. STEAM-освіта готує фахівця до конкурентної спроможності на ринку праці, що відображається не лише в поширенні державних програм STEАM, які зараз існують по всій країні, але і вимогою роботодавців.

Актуальність розвідки полягає у тому, щоб сформулювати особливості формування фахівця технічного профілю відповідно до ринку праці.

STEAM-освіта заснована на стандартах мета-дисциплін на рівні школи, де викладаються природничі науки, технології, техніка та математика (STEM) за допомогою інтегрованого підходу. Сучасні умови використання засобів STEАM-освіти уможливлюють реалізацію науково-проєктної та дослідницької діяльності студентів, опанування науково-технічних знань, розвиток навичок критичного, логічного і креативного мислення, вміння швидко вчитися і засвоювати знання. Курс навчання STEAM розкриває чотири фази (когнітивну, психомоторну, афективну сфери та бажання безперервного навчання) для успішної підготовки STEAM-фахівців. Тобто інтегровані, міжпредметні навчальні програми мають запроваджуватися в навчальний процес ЗВО для підготовки компетентного фахівця, який вільно орієнтується в суміжних галузях діяльності та готовий до постійного професійного зростання, соціальної та фахової мобільності з метою обміну знань і досвідом. Виші повинні зосередитися на найкращих практиках та стратегіях інших шкіл освітньої спільноти STEАM.
ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ОСНОВИ КОНЦЕПЦІЇ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ ПЕДАГОГІВ ДО РОБОТИ В МІЖКУЛЬТУРНОМУ ПРОСТОРІ ЗАКАРПАТТЯ
Authors: Молнар Тетяна
Published: October 2022

У статті здійснено аналіз поліпарадигмального, системного, культурологічного, особистісно-діяльнісного і компетентнісного підходів, які лежать в основі концепції підготовки майбутніх учителів початкової школи до роботи з учнями в міжкультурному просторі Закарпаття. З’ясовано, що реалізація означених підходів, які доповнюють один одного, сприяє збагаченню змісту професійної підготовки загальнонауковими, загальнопрофесійними та спеціальними знаннями, формуванню вмінь і навичок використання цих знань у майбутній професійній діяльності, а відтак – готовності до роботи в міжкультурному просторі Закарпаття.
3q29 microdeletion syndrome associated with developmental delay and pulmonary stenosis: a case report
Authors: Kaba Duygu , Çelik Zerrin Yılmaz
Published: October 2022

Background. 3q29 microdeletion syndrome (OMIM 609425), first described in 2005, is a rare copy number variation (CNV), accompanied by various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric problems. Phenotypic features of the syndrome have not been fully characterized due to the new definition and rarity. Facial dysmorphology, musculoskeletal anomalies, cardiovascular abnormalities, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and dental abnormalities can be seen.
Case. A 28-month-old male patient was brought to the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with a complaint of speech delay. He had mild dysmorphic symptoms. He was also sensitive to voice and often covered his ears. Balloon valvuloplasty was performed on the postnatal 28th day due to severe pulmonary stenosis. While karyotype was found to be normal, in array-Comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), copy loss was detected in the long arm of chromosome 3 (arr[hg19] 3q29[196,209,689-197,601,344]x1), which contains approximately 1.4 Mb harboring 30 genes. Genetic counseling was given to the family of the patient who was diagnosed with 3q29 microdeletion syndrome.
Conclusions. In conclusion, we present 3q29 microdeletion syndrome with global developmental delay (GDD), dysmorphic face, hyperacusis, scoliosis, and severe pulmonary stenosis. Performing genetic analysis in patients with developmental delay and congenital heart disease (CHD) for which the cause cannot be explained will prevent these rare diseases from being missed, and the characteristics of the diseases will be better characterized with the reported cases.

Background. Cyclopentolate is frequently used as a mydriatic agent during ophthalmological examinations in childhood and hypersensitivity reactions associated with this drug are rare. We aim to report an infant who experienced anaphylaxis due to cyclopentolate eye drops.
Case. A nine-month-old girl, who was being followed up with a diagnosis of retinoblastoma, presented for consultation for urticaria, cough, stridor, and dyspnea that developed after the administration of topical cyclopentolate to the eyes. The patient was diagnosed with anaphylaxis and treated with adrenaline. During the follow-up, tropicamide was used safely as an alternative drug.
Conclusions. In children, hypersensitivity reactions due to cyclopentolate are very rare. Only four pediatric patients were reported in the literature to have developed an allergic reaction after the administration of cyclopentolate eye drops. We present here the youngest patient who developed anaphylaxis with cyclopentolate eye drops. Anaphylaxis due to cyclopentolate should be kept in mind, rapidly recognized, and treated when a reaction develops.
