On some composite Kies families: distributional properties and saturation in Hausdorff sense
Authors: Zaevski Tsvetelin , Kyurkchiev Nikolay
Published: March 2023

The stochastic literature contains several extensions of the exponential distribution which increase its applicability and flexibility. In the present article, some properties of a new power modified exponential family with an original Kies correction are discussed. This family is defined as a Kies distribution which domain is transformed by another Kies distribution. Its probabilistic properties are investigated and some limitations for the saturation in the Hausdorff sense are derived. Moreover, a formula of a semiclosed form is obtained for this saturation. Also the tail behavior of these distributions is examined considering three different criteria inspired by the financial markets, namely, the VaR, AVaR, and expectile based VaR. Some numerical experiments are provided, too.

Published: March 2023

Aim: Enterococcus faecalis has surface adhesion proteins that enable it to attach to human intestinal and vaginal tissue cells with antibiotic-resistant strains in patients. Due to these properties, boron and its derivatives are preferred as therapeutic agents due to their antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antifungal activities. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic effect of boron compounds and their effect on biofilms in an infection model created with Enterococcus faecalis 29212 on the HepG2 liver cell line.

Materials and Methods: It was determined that sodium perborate monohydrate + zinc borate had the lowest values as a result of the minimum inhibitory concentration and fractional inhibitor concentration studies. It has also been shown that these doses reduce cytotoxic effects. In addition, 32 µg/ml Etidote + 256 µg/ml Sodium Perborate Monohydrate showed the highest biofilm effect.

Results: we show that boron compounds effectively reduce biofilm formation and cause the death of bacteria.

Published: March 2023

Aim: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease characterized by relapse and treatment resistance in most patients. Therefore, there is a need for targeted therapies in AML. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative for the treatment of malignant tumors. Also, PDT has the potential to be used individually or complementally in the treatment of leukemia. In this study, it was aimed to investigate possible the effect of malachite green (MG)-based PDT on acute myeloid leukemia cells.

Materials and Methods: Cells were incubated with 0.19, 0.39, 0.78,1.56, 3.125, and 6.25 µM MG for one hour and irradiated with 46.4 J/cm2 of light. The trypan blue test was used to assess the viability of cells, and the change in mitochondrial activity was determined by MTT. Morphological features were determined by Giemsa staining and scanning electron microscopy. Cell cycle and Annexin V/PI assays (measuring fluorescence emitted by staining reagents) were measured by flow cytometry.

Results: With the combination of MG and light, HL60 cell viability was found to be significantly reduced compared to the control group. Giemsa staining and SEM results showed that 3.125 μM MG-based PDT induced various morphological changes in cells typical for apoptosis. Late apoptosis was observed in cells treated with 3.125 μM MG combined PDT according to Annexin/PI staining, further showing that it caused an arrest in the subG1 phase of the cell cycle.

Conclusion: MG-based PDT has the potential to inactivate HL60 cells. Thus, MG-based PDT may ensure a promising approach for treating acute myeloid leukemia cells.

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is an educational theory that bases each part of an educational system around goals (outcomes). OBE is playing a great role in engineering education, the world over and in traditional educational settings as well as in continuing education. It is a student-centric teaching and learning process in which it deals with the planning, course delivery, and students’ assessment to achieve stated outcomes. A number of classroom assessment techniques (CAT) or active learning tools like think-pair-share, flipped classroom, problem based learning (PBL), and cooperative learning techniques such as jigsaw are used for achieving effective learning of the students. The jigsaw technique is one of the active learning techniques which has proved to be an effective method for classroom teaching and hence it is widely used for teaching engineering courses. The present paper focuses on the use of ‘jigsaw technique’ for teaching the course ‘Biology for Engineers’, a core course of B. Tech. program, to study students’ performance in the End Semester Examination. The course content is difficult to get understood by the engineering students. Therefore, some difficult concept from this course is taught by using jigsaw technique. The students were divided into 8 groups with 8 students in each group. All the groups were assigned a topic with eight different subtopics for study and the jigsaw technique was implemented. The results of study indicated that the use of jigsaw technique improves students’ performance by 15% and helps them in developing their lifelong learning skills.

Tarihî Şahsiyetler Üzerinden Yabancılara Türkçe Öğretimi: Yunus Emre Örneği
Authors: KARTALLIOĞLU Nurettin
Published: March 2023

Yunus Emre, Türk dili ve kültürü açısından büyük öneme sahip örnek şahsiyetlerden biridir ve 2021 yılı onun vefatının 700. yılı olması dolayısıyla “Yunus Emre ve Türkçe Yılı” olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda hem Türkiye’de hem de dünyada Yunus Emre’yi tanıtmak, onun öğretilerini anlamak ve anlatmak için çeşitli sergi, konferans, film gösterisi, şiir dinletisi gibi etkinlikler düzenlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Yunus Emre’nin, Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretildiği ders kitaplarında ele alınma durumunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel bir araştırma olan bu çalışmada, verilerin analizinde doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini, Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretimi için hazırlanan kitap setleri; örneklemini ise yaygın olarak kullanılan Yeni Hitit Yabancılar İçin Türkçe, İstanbul Yabancılar İçin Türkçe Öğretim Seti, Gazi Üniversitesi TÖMER ve Yedi İklim Türkçe öğretim setleri oluşturmaktadır. İncelenen Türkçe öğretim setlerinden sadece bir tanesinde Yunus Emre’den bahsedilmediği, diğer setlerde Yunus Emre ile ilgili toplam yedi farklı etkinliğe yer verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu etkinliklerde, Yunus Emre’nin hayatının ve öğretilerinin ele alındığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca bu etkinliklerden beşinin hem kültür aktarımı hem de dil öğretim etkinliği olarak hazırlandığı belirlenmiştir. Yunus Emre’ye yer verilen etkinliklere bakıldığında, bu etkinliklerin Türkçe öğretim setlerinin orta ve ileri seviyelerinde olduğu, başlangıç seviyesinde yer almadığı görülmektedir. Yunus Emre’nin anlatıldığı metinlerin tek bir türde olmadığı; mektup, biyografi, şiir, röportaj, sempozyum ve roman gibi çeşitli türlerin kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Siirt’te öğretmen iş gücü devir hızının -bir başka deyişle öğretmen sirkülasyonunun- olumlu ve olumsuz etkilerini ortaya koymak ve bu doğrultuda önerilerde bulunmaktır. Bölgesel bir problem olarak görülen bu konu öğretmenleri olduğu kadar öğrencileri ve okul idarecilerini de zor durumda bırakmaktadır. Araştırma nitel yöntemli olup fenomenoloji deseniyle kurgulanmıştır. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla toplanmış olup Siirt İl Millî Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı öğretmenler ve yöneticilerle (15 kişi) görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgulara göre, Siirt ilinde öğretmen iş gücü devir hızı yüksektir. İşgücü devir hızının bazı olumlu yönlerine rağmen olumsuzlukları daha fazladır. Görüşmelerde, devir hızının yüksek olmasına ulaşım, sağlık ve güvenlik konularındaki problemlerin yanı sıra sosyokültürel etkinliklerin ve teşviklerin yetersizliği gibi sorunların neden olduğu ifade edilmiştir. Katılımcılar, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığının bu konuda aldığı tedbirlerin yetersiz olduğunu ileri sürmüşlerdir. Çalışmada, özellikle elde edilen bulgular ışığında iş gücü devir hızının azaltılması yönünde tavsiyelerde bulunulmuş, öğretmen atamaları ve eğitim planlamaları gibi konularda alınması gereken tedbirlerden söz edilmiştir.
The Parallel Reality Technology
Authors: TÜRKER Orhun
Published: March 2023

Parallel Reality (PR) is a technology introduced by Misapplied Science at the CES consumer technology fair held in the United States in 2020. This technology makes it possible to simultaneously show different contents for each of the dozens of people in the same place on a single screen. Unlike augmented or virtual reality, this reality does not require people to have extra equipment such as cell phones or special glasses. The pixels can transmit contents according to the viewing angle of the people in front of the screen. In addition, contents can follow the location of people through a sensor integrated into the system. Thanks to this sensor, the image for each person is displayed in such a way that they can only see it from the angle they are in. Thus, unique and personalized content can simultaneously be displayed for each person in crowded environments. As with augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, the parallel reality is a product of high technology. Therefore, this study compares the concept of parallel reality with other types of realities in various contexts, explains its working principles in detail, and provides examples of its application areas. This technology can be used effectively, especially for educational purposes. In addition, in the last part of the research, the researcher proposed a new value term to be used in parallel reality. It is thought that this article will make valuable contributions to the field, as it will be the first study in the field of education and educational technologies, and this type of reality will affect many areas.

The article presents the issues of tariff regulation of connections (technological connection) of capital construction objects to the city communal infrastructure. Legislative streamlining of the connection of real estate objects under construction to engineering and technical support systems mainly took place according to the sectoral principle, which led to significant differences in the tariffication of connection to different types of engineering systems. This creates problems both for developers and for the development of the engineering infrastructure of the Russian cities. This study aims at analyzing the current situation in the tariff regulation of connections and finding solutions to the identified problems. As part of the work, a questionnaire survey of the administrations of 102 cities was carried out, in which the values ​​of the established tariffs were clarified, different approaches and bottlenecks of the connection practice were determined. As a result, significant differences are revealed in the adopted methodology of tariff regulation of connections for various types of communal infrastructure, a list of problematic issues have been identified which reduce the predictability of developers' costs for connecting to communal infrastructure and have a negative impact on the spatial development of the Russian cities. Further steps are suggested to improve the existing practice of tariff regulation.

Published: March 2023

The article aims the problems faced by state financial control system in Russia. One of them is the duplication of the functions and authorities of the control bodies of the "horizontal" level, which increases both the costs of organizing control and the load on the objects of control. The problems were caused by the lack of synchronization of the digitalization processes of the control and accounting environment, as well as the dominance of identifying committed violations approach, instead of focusing efforts on their prevention. Besides, risk-oriented planning approaches of control activities require improvement. The article contains the assessment of the current state financial control system, based on the analysis of data characterizing the activities of key subjects of state financial control, as well as the analysis of official documents regulating the relevant activities. Based on the analysis, the author formulates proposals to improve the efficiency of state financial control system in Russian Federation.

Introduction: Numerous factors, including age, gender, physical inactivity, insufficient dose, noncompliance, and drug-drug interactions, may contribute to significant intraindividual variation in metformin (MET) response. This study aims to determine the effect of Met dose and treatment duration on adiposity markers and serum leptin levels in Iraqi patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Between October 2021 and March 2022, a cross-sectional study at the Diabetes and Endocrinology Center in Baghdad included 150 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with a disease duration of more than 1 year. Clinical and physical examinations were conducted before enrollment. We measured anthropometric variables such as body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and visceral adiposity index. We evaluated glycated hemoglobin, leptin, C-reactive protein, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and triglycerides (TGs) in the serum.
Results: Only the TC/HDL-c and TG/HDL-c ratios were significantly different after the data were arranged according to glycemic control level. Arrangement for MET doses and treatment duration, none of the evaluated parameters were significantly different (p > 0.05) between groups receiving different doses of MET for different durations, except visceral adiposity index (VAI), which shows a very slight decrease (p = 0.046) after more than 10 years of treatment. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a weak and significant association between waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference and MET doses, and a weak and significant association between WC, VAI, and TG levels and treatment duration. The other markers lacked a significant relationship with MET doses or duration of treatment.
Conclusion: MET dose and duration of treatment were not significantly correlated with adiposity and lipid profiles in Iraqi patients with T2DM.

RESUMOO estudo teve como objetivo delinear o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes oncológicos e acompanhantes em uma casa de apoio. Estudo transversal descritivo, quantitativo, realizado com usuários e seus acompanhantes, assistidos por uma casa de apoio do município de Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, no período de maio e junho de 2021. Foram aplicados questionários de caracterização dos usuários e seus acompanhantes, juntamente com os instrumentos Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), com a avaliação da frequência dos sinais e sintomas de depressão, e Escala Burden Interview de Zarit, referente a avaliação da sobrecarga do cuidador. Dentre a totalidade de usuários (n=17), correspondeu-se ao sexo feminino (64,7%), com 1º grau incompleto (47,1%) e renda familiar de 1 salário mínimo (64,7%). A neoplasia mais frequente foi o câncer de mama (29,4%) e a modalidade de tratamento radioterápico (41,7%), com indicador positivo para depressão (60%). Em relação aos acompanhantes (n=13), a maior parte não possui outro emprego além de cuidador (84,6%) e predomina o tempo de cuidado integral (69,2%), com um grau de sobrecarga leve evidenciado (46,2%). Conclui-se que o câncer afeta tanto o paciente oncológico quanto seu acompanhante, e reforçam o papel fundamental de suporte e acolhimento oferecido pela instituição.DESCRITORES: Oncologia.
