Museums! How Accessible for Individuals with Disabilities?
Authors: Balcı Murat
Published: October 2024

The research examines the accessibility of museums in Istanbul for people with disabilities. The aim is to determine the suitability of museums in Istanbul for individuals with physical, visual, and hearing impairments, identify the problems they encounter in museums, identify physical limitations, and develop solution proposals. The qualitative research method was used in the research conducted in 2022-2023 covering museums in Istanbul. The research consists of two parts. In the first part, the museums to be visited were determined. Then, the checklists were submitted for approval to two expert academics. Opinions regarding the questions in the checklists were obtained by conducting a pilot study with six individuals with physical impairments, two with visual impairments, and two with hearing impairments. In the second part, the accessibility was evaluated by visiting 41 museums in Istanbul using checklists consisting of 23 questions. The findings were analyzed using the content analysis method. Considering the data of the research, none of the museums met the requirements for accessibility, museums were far from providing minimum standards for individuals with physical, visual, and hearing impairments, and individuals with physical, visual, and hearing impairments were unable to visit museums due to inadequate physical conditions rather than financial constraints.

Published: October 2024

İnternetin gelişimi, sosyal ağların kurulması, teknoloji ve mobil iletişim araçlarının imkanları, kişilerin her an, her yerde, herkesle iletişim kurabilmesini sağlamış, zaman ve mekan algısını, bireyin toplumla, kendisiyle ve kentle kurduğu ilişkileri değiştirmiş, dünya küreselleşerek küçülmüştür. Bireyin çevresini algılayışı ve değişen yaşam biçimi kent mekanlarının kullanımını ve kentlerin organizasyonunu etkilemiştir. Behiç Ak 'Tek Kişilik Şehir' ve 'Küçülecek Yer Kalmadı' tiyatro oyunlarıyla, bir mimarın gözünden, günümüz toplum bireylerinin yaşamlarını ve kentle ilişkilerini, abartarak, mizahi bir dille eleştirmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında incelenen, 'Tek Kişilik Şehir' oyunu yalnız yaşayan, teknoloji sayesinde evinden çalışan, ihtiyaçlarını tuşlayarak halleden ve dışarıya çıkmayan Adam ve Kadın karakterinin, yüz yüze buluşmasını konu edinmektedir. 'Küçülecek Yer Kalmadı' oyunuysa köye taşınmış çift (Adam ve Kadın) ve onlara şehirden gelerek ‘Misafir’ olan karakterin küreselleşme, iletişim ve doğaya dönüş sohbetlerini içermektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Behiç Ak'ın yazdığı iki oyun; ağ toplumunda bireyin kendine, topluma ve kent mekanına uzaklaşması, değişen toplum yaşantısının kente yansımaları, oyun yazarı olan bir mimarın, mesleğinin getirdiği eleştirel yorumlayışı incelenmiştir. İki oyunun ortak özellikleri; çevresine ve kendisine yabancılaşan bireyler, iletişim olanaklarının, iletişim kuramamaya sebep olması, kent mekanlarının evden çalışmayı ve ihtiyaçları karşılamayı sağlayan teknoloji ve internet olanaklarıyla deneyimlenemiyor olması, tüm olumlu gelişmelere rağmen bireylerin mutlu olmaması olarak tespit edilmiştir.

Published: October 2024

Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed artificial intelligence by advancing natural language understanding and generation, enabling applications across fields beyond health-care, software engineering, and conversational systems. Despite these advancements in the past few years, LLMs have shown considerable vulnerabilities, particularly to prompt injection and jailbreaking attacks. This review analyzes the state of research on these vulnerabilities and presents available defense strategies. We roughly categorize attack approaches into prompt-based, model-based, multimodal, and multilingual, covering techniques such as adversarial prompting, backdoor injections, and cross-modality exploits. We also review various defense mechanisms, including prompt filtering, transformation, alignment techniques, multi-agent defenses, and self-regulation, evaluating their strengths and shortcomings. We also discuss key metrics and benchmarks used to assess LLM safety and robustness, noting challenges like the quantification of attack success in interactive contexts and biases in existing datasets. Identifying current research gaps, we suggest future directions for resilient alignment strategies, advanced defenses against evolving attacks, automation of jailbreak detection, and consideration of ethical and societal impacts. This review emphasizes the need for continued research and cooperation within the AI community to enhance LLM security and ensure their safe deployment.
Cognitive Mode Detectable with Task-Based fMRI: Auditory Attention for Response (AAR)
Authors: Jian Lujia , Redway Solana , Woodward Todd Stephen
Published: October 2024

In the context of task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), cognitive modes can be defined as task-general cognitive/sensory/motor processes that reliably elicit specific blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal pattern configurations. A number of cognitive modes are detectable with task-based fMRI, and here we focus on auditory attention for response (AAR), a cognitive mode that can be activated or deactivated, depending on task design. The BOLD signal configurations associated with AAR are modulated by a range of tasks, and here we present ten. For each task, we report: (1) specific pattern-based (as opposed to coordinate-based) anatomical details essential for distinguishing AAR from other BOLD-based cognitive modes, and (2) task-induced BOLD signal changes associated with AAR over a range of task conditions. In order to facilitate recognition, we nick-named the anatomical patterns specific to AAR as follows: (1) Small Smile, (2) On Fire, (3) Happy 28th Birthday Long Face, and (4) Right Angle. Evidence for AAR was derived from the timing and magnitude of task-induced BOLD signal changes observed in the following tasks: social cognition, visuospatial memory, task switching, target detection, item recognition, sensorimotor, problem-solving, lexical decision, semantic association, and probabilistic reasoning. This evidence consistently supported the AAR cognitive mode involving auditory attention with the intention of responding when activated, and visual attention to stimulus features when deactivated.

In the context of task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), cognitive modes can be defined as task-general cognitive/sensory/motor processes which reliably elicit specific blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal pattern configurations. A number of cognitive modes are detectable with task-based fMRI, and here we focus on multiple demand (MD), a mid-trial peaking cognitive mode, already well known in the task-based fMRI literature. The BOLD signal configurations associated with MD are modulated by a range of tasks, and here we present five. For each task, we report: (1) specific pattern-based (as opposed to coordinate-based) anatomical details essential for distinguishing MD from other BOLD-based cognitive modes, and (2) task-induced BOLD signal changes associated with MD over a range of task conditions. In order to facilitate recognition, we nick-named the anatomical patterns specific to MD as follows: (1) Jumping Jack Flash, (2) Ape Nostrils, (3) Flexing Hands, and (4) Wipe Your Mouth Bear Triple Jam. Evidence for MD was derived from the timing and magnitude of task-induced BOLD signal changes induced by the following tasks: autobiographical event simulation, evidence integration, probabilistic reasoning, Raven’s standard progressive matrices, and social cognition. Based on observation of task-induced BOLD signal changes across these tasks, MD function could fit the original definition of attentional resources to individual parts of a complex task, but it was also noted that many other cognitive modes were general to many tasks, MD was not present in all tasks and in fact was not as commonly observed as other modes, and MD could even show deactivation under task conditions requiring for internal attention.

In the context of task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), cognitive modes can be defined as task-general cognitive/sensory/motor processes which reliably elicit specific blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal pattern configurations. A number of cognitive modes are detectable with task-based fMRI, and here we focus on auditory perception (AUD), which has been observed during speech perception. The BOLD signal configurations associated with AUD are modulated by a range of tasks, and here we present three. For each task, we report: (1) specific pattern-based (as opposed to coordinate-based) anatomical details essential for distinguishing AUD from other BOLD-based cognitive modes, and (2) task-induced BOLD signal changes associated with AUD over a range of task conditions. In order to facilitate recognition, we nick-named the anatomical patterns specific to AUD as follows: (1) Headphones, and (2) Ear Buds. Evidence for AUD was derived from the timing and magnitude of task-induced BOLD signal changes induced by the following tasks: radio speech, speech perception, and thought generation. This evidence consistently supported the AUD cognitive mode involving in perceiving audio information.

Published: October 2024

SilverCloud and THIS WAY UP (TWU) are two internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (iCBT) programs that have demonstrated effectiveness for anxiety and depression, yet little is known about their comparative effectiveness. This non-randomized program evaluation compared client satisfaction, subjective engagement, and treatment outcomes between the SilverCloud and TWU programs. Participants were 195 adult patients (106 using SilverCloud and 89 using TWU) enrolled in a digital CBT clinic who completed assessment measures at pre-treatment, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and one-, two-, three-, and four-month follow-ups. As hypothesized (preregistration: https://osf.io/x6bmy) patients in both programs reported high client satisfaction, and experienced improvements in depression (ds=-0.79 and -0.78), anxiety (ds=-0.95 and -0.84), and functional impairment (ds=-0.42 and -0.45), from pre- to post-treatment that were maintained at four-month follow-up. However, according to exploratory analyses, the slope of change in treatment outcomes was not significantly different between programs during the treatment and follow-up phases. As hypothesized, patients who used SilverCloud self-reported significantly greater subjective engagement with their iCBT program compared to patients who used TWU (d=0.36). However, contrary to hypotheses, client satisfaction was not significantly different between programs. This non-randomized program evaluation offers minimal evidence that one program was better than the other, though findings require replication in a randomized controlled trial and larger sample. Results provide further support for iCBT as a viable option to extend access to high-quality treatment for anxiety and depression.
Body Wisdom: Interoceptive Control from a Perceptual Control Theory Perspective
Authors: Tieleman Pauline
Published: October 2024

The present study intended to construct an overarching theoretical framework, based on PerceptualControl Theory, that explains how the mind and body cooperate and when this cooperation isperceived as control (loss) related to mental health or psychological distress. The initial review ofliterature suggested that control, attention and the extent to which information of mind and bodyare integrated determine together whether individuals experience bodily sensations as beneficial ordetrimental. These insights resulted in the construction of the preliminary perceptual control modelof Body Wisdom. Grounded Theory was conducted to test and refine the initial model. Thirty-fivepeer-reviewed data sources were selected based on predetermined criteria. Subsequently, relevantdata segments from each source were collected, coded and analysed. Analysis of these excerptsdemonstrated that interoceptive sensibility is a complex, multifaceted process that involvesperceptions, interpretation of those perceptions and regulation processes all influenced byreferences related to what is important to the individual. Insights on factors and sub(sub)factorsdetermining the nature of one’s interoceptive experience resulted in a refinement of the initialmodel of Body Wisdom. The final model consists of one mode that explains psychological well-beingand five expressions of mental health problems explained in terms of control loss. These modes mayinform further research and development of psychological interventions by providing new insights inhow mental health problems arise and may be resolved.Keywords: interoceptive sensibility, perceptual control theory, interoceptive control, mentalhealth
Anglophone Study Trips with Multimedia Projects
Authors: Pokrivčáková Silvia
Published: October 2024

The present textbook deals with the issue of foreign study trips. It aims to introduce the research­‑based framework of study trips as a specific educational form of foreign language education to students of teacher­‑training and philology study programmes. Within higher education, systemic research on study trips is relatively new. It is related to the existing situation in its theoretical background, which is characterised by a fragmentation of information and a lack of concrete teaching resources. While learning about the concept of study trips and their organization, students depended almost exclusively on textbooks from general pedagogy and didactics, which do not specifically address the issue of foreign language and foreign culture study trips. The present publication’s ambition is to remedy this deficit partially. In the first chapter, the concept of a (foreign) study trip as a specific organizational form of higher education is defined, and its basic theoretical framework, complemented by a brief overview of recent research in the field, is presented. The second chapter provides information about the specific conditions of foreign study trips and presents nine detailed organizational guidelines for study trips to Anglophone countries or countries with strong Anglophone cultural links. For the study trip to meet its educational objectives, students should produce an output, i.e. a product, in which they present their newly acquired experiences, knowledge and skills. This output can take many forms – an essay, a short­‑written report, a portfolio of assignments, a term paper, an oral presentation, etc. Currently, the assigned final output of the Anglophone study trips at the author’s workplace is a student video movie (as a multimedia student project). Therefore, the third chapter introduces the guidelines for preparing and presenting a video movie from a study trip. The last, fourth, chapter discusses the objectives and various methods of study trip assessment.

Published: October 2024

Beta blockers are medications that reduce heart rate and make heartbeats more regular during CCTA exams, helping to reduce motion artifact and improve visibility of blood vessels for diagnosis. However, even when avoiding patients with contraindications, beta blockers continue to cause side effects, as well as fatigue and discomfort for both medical staff and patients due to the waiting time required for the medication to take effect, leading to delayed testing schedules. According to recent literature, advancements in hardware and software technology have diminished the importance of heart rate control for diagnostices. In other words, this implies the necessity for changes in the guidelines for beta-blocker administration. In our institution, the guidelines for beta-blocker administration were revised from prescribing them when the heart rate was over 70 beats per minute before 23 years ago to over 80 beats per minute since then. This study compares and analyzes CCTA examinationes before and after the revision of the guidelines, aiming to provide practical insights through case studies from our institution.

Published: October 2024

Road safety is a major concern for countries around the world, as it is directly related to the sense of well-being. Road accidents have serious consequences for the victims and impose considerable economic burdens on the state, since their handling is delicate. The African continent, including Algeria, has a high accident rate. In this study, we chose the state of Constantine because of its national importance. Between 2020 and 2022, it recorded a significant number of accidents, particularly in the new town of Ali Mendjeli and the town of Constantine. These areas, with their dense populations and their high attractiveness due to the diversity of facilities they have, are experiencing very large flows and consequently considerable traffic. A territorial analysis of these accidents allows to highlight the dangerous areas, understand the causes and determine the types of victims. From which the identification of the sites most exposed to accidents has allowed us to identify many factors of this risk.

Approximately 57.6% of the population experiences oral and dental health problems, but only 10.2% receive treatment from dental professionals and only about 2.8% practice proper tooth brushing. This indicates that improvement in the oral and dental health of the Indonesian people is still needed. The aim of this activity was to improve the oral and dental health of the community. The method used was an educational session using dental stand media as part of the World Oral Health Day 2024 commemoration at SD Muhammadiyah Tamantirto, Yogyakarta. To measure the success of the activity, pre-tests and post-tests were conducted. The results of the activity showed an increase in the knowledge of oral and dental health and the skills of children in oral hygiene through tooth brushing in grade 3 students by 3% and in grade 4 students by 2.7%. The conclusion of this activity is that promotive and preventive dental actions provide significant benefits to the community and after the counseling, there was an increase in understanding of oral and dental health.

A state of despair and helplessness often occurs in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit, impacting their psychological and spiritual well-being, especially in patients with decreased consciousness and those who are intubated. Several studies have highlighted the lack of knowledge among nurses in providing spiritual care to critically ill, intubated, and incapacitated patients. Nurses have reported difficulties in implementing spiritual care nursing and a lack of available information. The aim of this community service activity was to provide nurses with an understanding of spiritual care in nursing care for critically ill patients in order to optimize their knowledge, role, and abilities in caring for these patients. The community service activity was conducted using mentoring, discussion, question-and-answer sessions, and demonstrations facilitated by both the facilitators and participants, followed by monitoring and evaluation after the activity. The results of the community service activity showed a 33% increase in nurses' knowledge (from 62% to 95%) about meeting the spiritual needs of critically ill patients.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been recognized as crucial components and dynamic driving forces for various economies. The Indonesian government has paid serious attention to the MSME sector. One of the strategies for developing MSMEs to upgrade is through increased access to financing. However, the serious attention from the Indonesian government has not been maximized by MSMEs because it is not balanced with the ability related to financial management and taxation. Creative Space is an MSME Community, most of whose members are start-up companies that still lack knowledge of finance and taxation. The purpose of this community service is to provide financial education and tax obligations for Creative Space members. The method used is by providing guidance in preparing financial statements and tax reports. The results of the implementation of this financial and tax education are that all members of Creative Space can prepare financial statements and report the tax obligations that must be fulfilled by MSMEs.
