FLOODING IMPACTS AND FARMING MOTIVATION IN ANAM COMMUNITY OF ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA: IMPLICATION FOR FOOD SECURITY
Authors: Njideka Rita Chiekezie
Published: April 2023

Climate change projections that show an increase in the frequency and intensity of climatic hazards like flooding highlight the significance of understanding community vulnerability to extreme hydrological events. The current study looked at how farmers' motivation is impacted by flooding. Two hundred and twenty-five farmers recruited from farming communities in Anam, Anambra State, Nigeria, completed a self-report instrument to ascertain their motivations relative to continuing farming activities in the era of flooding. A cross-sectional design was employed in the study. Data from the respondents were analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, Version 23). Simple regression was run to test the primary hypothesis that flooding would predict farmers' motivation. The analysis demonstrated a statistically significant effect of flooding concerns on the farmers' motivation F (1,223), 21.31 P< .05, with the R2 indicating the independent variable accounted for 22.3% of the variation in farmers' motivation. The present finding contributes to the agricultural literature by revealing the flooding trend as a potential determinant of farmers' low motivations and the increasing low food production.

Authors: Ayyash Mohannad
Published: April 2023

The necessity of high-level control on information is always on the increase by the users of the social network platforms to safeguard their privacy. Yet, scarce empirical research work and studies have investigated the impact of perceived privacy risk and perceived control of information on the purchasing intention of the customers in social commerce domains. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of perceived control of information and perceived privacy risk on the purchasing intention of the customers among the social commerce platforms. The personal interest’s moderating role toward the purchasing intention perceived privacy risk, and perceived control of information is also explored. Data was collected from 421 Palestinian consumers using social commerce platforms, who voluntarily participate in the current study. The findings of a PLS-SEM data analysis gleaned from Palestinian customers indicate a positive and significant relationship between perceived control of information and the purchasing intention of the customers. Besides, the findings indicate a negative and significant relationship between perceived control of information and perceived privacy risk, affecting the purchasing intention of the customers. Moreover, the results demonstrate a negative and significant relationship between perceived privacy risk and purchasing intention. Lastly, the findings indicated that the personal interest’s moderating effect is insignificant.

Published: April 2023

Starting with very high expectations of a people inspired by previous revolutions, (10) years later, the Tunisian revolution has come to an economic and social dead end. Even the whole democratic process is put on hold. This article tries to give a psychosocial explanation of the failure of the Tunisian revolution. By means of a survey of (200) civil servants, our study revealed important results regarding the impact of the revolution on work values. These findings are deemed crucial in deciphering the failure of the revolution and in identifying future choices and directions. The examination of the values of work after the revolution based on the super model conveys three contrasts: A total reversal of the scale of values, an increased interest in the value of economic advantage and the free fall of the value of creativity and intellectual stimulation

Published: April 2023

Este estudio cualitativo investigó los determinantes que pesan sobre la decisión de la prescripción de benzodiacepinas por médicos de familia, en el contexto de la atención primaria del municipio de Río de Janeiro. Con el fin de elaborar un análisis sobre cómo la prescripción es negociada entre médico y usuario, se reclutaron 12 médicos de familia de inserción en la estrategia salud de la familia. Los candidatos convocados aceptaron firmando el formulario de consentimiento informado y respondieron un cuestionario semiestructurado, que fue grabado y transcripto para su análisis, en el período de agosto a diciembre de 2017. El cuestionario abordó  la percepción del médico sobre el uso de benzodiacepinas y las alternativas al mismo. Los entrevistados relataron predominio de prescripción de repetición, preocupación por la optimización y reducción de la dosis, cuando era posible. Se evidenció como motivo de uso: ansiedad, insomnio y síntomas depresivos. Quejas somáticas, dolor crónico, hipertensión arterial y dependencia se encontraron como motivos relacionados. La mayoría de los médicos propuso la alianza terapéutica como mecanismo para ofrecer alternativas que permitieran reducir el uso crónico de benzodiacepinas, a pesar de esta intervención alcanzar una baja tasa de éxito. Por tanto, los médicos entrevistados mostraron un compromiso con el uso racional y preocupación con el uso indiscriminado. La longitudinalidad en el cuidado se evidenció como principio directriz. El análisis de los efectos atribuidos a las BZD, como se devela en este dispositivo, promueve una discusión sobre el lugar de los medicamentos en la cultura y sus consecuencias en el abordaje del sufrimiento psíquico y mental.
Collaborative Law: A Different Approach for Solving Franchise Disputes
Authors: Fortman Jonathan E.
Published: April 2023

For the past 17 years, I have been a trial lawyer representing franchisees in disputes with their franchisors. The vast majority of those cases have involved groups of failed franchisees in systems in distress or collapsing. Those cases have given me the opportunity to obtain internal documents from several large franchisors which detail the manner in which relations with the franchisees have deteriorated over time. In most of those cases, the benefit of hindsight has allowed us to identify points in time in which much earlier intervention could have salvaged the franchise relationship and given the franchise system the ability to stabilize. In this article, I discuss the value of trust in the franchise relationship, analyze how implicit expectations set the stage for conflict, review how disputes are often addressed, and recommend an alternative approach for solving franchise disputes.

Published: April 2023

A água é elemento essencial para a manutenção da vida, mas que pode carrear organismos patogênicos e substâncias químicas que representam risco à saúde humana. Desta forma é fundamental que a população tenha acesso a água com qualidade para suas necessidades diárias. No Brasil, o padrão de potabilidade da água para consumo humano é regulado pela Portaria GM/MS Nº 888/2021. Dados da vigilância da qualidade da água para consumo humano estão disponíveis para a população através do Sisagua, que é um instrumento importante no gerenciamento de riscos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi levantar dados a partir do portal de dados abertos do SIsagua sobre a qualidade da água que foi disponibilizada à população no Estado do Paraná e no município de Curitiba relacionados aos aspectos bacteriológicos. Registradas entre os anos de 2014 à 2022. A pesquisa mostrou que nem todos os municípios paranaenses registraram dados das análises dos parâmetros durante o período de estudo. Foi observado um aumento na detecção de coliformes totais e Escherichia coli em todo o Estado do Paraná e o maior percentual de coliformes totais foi detectado em soluções alternativas individuais de abastecimento e a maior parte das amostras positivas para Escherichia coli eram provenientes da zona rural. Destaca-se a necessidade de orientações quanto à adequação das condições estruturais das soluções alternativas além da manutenção e métodos corretos de desinfecção.

Authors: ANDRADE CARLA , Andrade Heloise , Lyra Amanda Martinez , Barbosa Vanessa
Published: April 2023

RESUMO – Polímeros biodegradáveis têm sido amplamente estudados devido a sua versatilidade de aplicação. A quitosana é um polímero natural muito utilizado no desenvolvimento de curativos por apresentar atividades cicatrizante e antimicrobiana. A incorporação de extratos vegetais com propriedades anti-inflamatórias e cicatrizante à membrana pode auxiliar no tratamento de feridas, como por exemplo, a planta Arrabidaea chica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi preparar e caracterizar membranas de quitosana com viscosidade de 74 e 199,5 cps contendo extrato bruto de A. chica. Foram realizadas reações de caracterização da planta, desenvolvimento e caracterização das membranas, avaliando a morfologia de superfície e fratura, teste de ruptura, taxa de transmissão de vapor d’água, porosidade e atividade antimicrobiana. As reações fitoquímicas evidenciaram presença de taninos, flavonoides e antraquinonas. As membranas inertes mostraram-se levemente amarelada, já as com extrato, marrom esverdeada. As membranas com extrato de ambas as quitosanas apresentaram elevados valores de deformação, o que indica a boa flexibilidade. Morfologicamente as membranas de 74 cps apresentaram superfícies lisas, homogêneas e com presença de poros nas eletromicrografias (FEG). As membranas de 199,5 cps mostraram superfícies rugosas, com formação de grumos visíveis e poucos poros. A taxa de transmissão de vapor d’água e taxa de porosidade para as membranas de quitosana foram, respectivamente, 149,87 mL/m2/dia e 25,9% (74 cps); 154,49 mL/m2/dia e 13,4% (199,5 cps). Os resultados obtidos sugerem que as membranas de 74 cps apresentaram as melhores características, contudo nenhuma membrana apresentou halo de inibição de crescimento para os microrganismos testados. Porém, são necessários maiores estudos da formulação para possível utilização em feridas cutâneas.

A avaliação do desperdício em uma Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN) pode ser feita a partir dos parâmetros de resto-ingesta e sobras, indicando assim o descarte intencional de gêneros alimentícios do local. O conhecimento destes valores e as etapas em que são mais significativos podem auxiliar na elaboração de soluções para reduzir a quantidade de resíduos na UAN. Dessa forma, o presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar o desperdício em dois restaurantes universitários. A coleta de dados foi realizada durante 7 dias no mês de setembro de 2022, durante o horário do almoço, em dois restaurantes universitário: Restaurante A - localizado em instituição pública; e Restaurante B – localizado em instituição privada. Para a aferição do peso total distribuído, foram aferidos os pesos de todas as preparações prontas distribuídas, subtraindo os pesos dos recipientes. O peso das sobras sujas foi obtido a partir do peso do conteúdo deixado no buffet após a sua distribuição, com a subtração do peso dos recipientes. O peso do resto foi obtido pela pesagem do conteúdo total deixado pelos comensais em seus pratos na área de devolução, descontando ossos e materiais descartáveis. Os resultados apontam uma média de sobras sujas de 6,74% no restaurante A   e 5,12% no restaurante B, ambas com valores acima dos recomendados pela literatura. Em relação aos restos, o restaurante A apresentou média de 4,95% e o restaurante B de 3,44%, ambos valores considerados aceitáveis.  Pode-se perceber que ambas apresentam resultados semelhantes e dentro dos parâmetros propostos pela literatura, exceto sobras sujas. Contudo, medidas e ações que diminuam estes números podem ser considerados, como o treinamento e capacitação dos funcionários, bom planejamento do cardápio, apresentação visualmente chamativa das preparações no buffet, uso dos utensílios corretos no buffet, entre outras, afinal, mesmo sendo encontrados valores dentro dos aceitáveis, quanto menor os índices de desperdício do local, melhor as expectativas de custo e sustentabilidade.

O ser humano possui a distinção de consumir o leite de outros mamíferos, e o faz há milhares de anos. O leite é uma emulsão que apresenta um alto valor biológico por ser rico em diversos nutrientes, entre eles lipídios, vitaminas, açúcares, proteínas e minerais. Sua abundância e fácil acesso tornou o leite um alimento de consumo muito comum e difundido por todo o mundo. Atualmente, o consumo de leite e seus derivados correspondem a cerca de 14% do consumo calórico em países desenvolvidos. Com o consumo de leite e laticínios sendo tão alastrado, a indústria leiteira deve procurar meios de tornar sua produção cada vez mais rentável e eficiente. Entretanto, a busca por maior rentabilidade pode acarretar práticas de adulteração do produto vendido. Neste trabalho foram analisadas 9 marcas de leite em sua variação “integral”, aleatoriamente selecionadas e adquiridas em Curitiba e região metropolitana. Foram realizados testes de acidez, acidez em Graus Dornic, densidade e a determinação da presença de sacarose, gelatina, água oxigenada, amido, formaldeído, urina, ácido lático e agentes neutralizantes. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram a presença de sacarose em 6 das marcas, gelatina em 2, catalase em 3; enquanto que água oxigenada, amido e formaldeído não houveram resultados positivos. Urina, ácido lático e neutralizantes foram encontrados em todas as 9 marcas.

Published: April 2023

Growing rice is complicated because of the interrelationship among production components, one of which is soil conditions. Determination of soil conditions is usually conducted by employing some soil properties. It is no doubt that soil properties have spatial and temporal characteristics. This research used two soil properties: Electrical conductivity (EC) and pH. This study aimed to use and evaluate Inverse Distance Weighted to uncover the temporal changes in pH and EC during the rice growth period. The methods used in the research were field survey, soil sampling, laboratory analysis, and data processing in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The sample used was 30 and repeated three times under the growth period (vegetative, generative, and ripening). The results showed that there were changes in pH values of the soil in one growing season, and EC values tend to increase from the vegetative to the ripening period.

The higher national rice demand encourages various efforts to increase rice production. This increase in rice production occurs in line with increasing public awareness of healthy foods, especially organic rice. Rice field management with an organic system is expected to provide a higher yield and quality of rice. This study aims to determine the effect of the long-time application of an organic rice management system on rice yield and quality. Descriptive exploratory research is supported by laboratory analysis of samples of organic rice plants with three periods (10 years, 7 years, and 4 years), semi-organic and conventional. The parameters observed were dry harvested grain, dry milled grain, the weight of 1000 grains, unfilled grain, protein content, amylum, amylopectin, and reducing sugar. The most prolonged organic rice field management with the application of 10 years gives better results with a protein content of 6.14%, amylum 71.71%, and amylopectin 49.35%. While the application of organic farming for 7 years gives the highest rice yield, the difference is not confirmed with the application of organic 10 years, with the weight of dry grain harvest 10.44 Mg ha-1, dry milled grain 8.15 10.44 Mg ha-1, the weight of 1000 grains 24 g, and unfilled grain 3.8%.

Published: April 2023

Banking is one of the sectors that pays close attention to their clients’ behavior with a view to tracking their activities, most especially as relates to monetary transactions. To add new customers to the existing fold is not only time consuming, but also expensive. This is why Banks generally would like to do everything within their means to ensure the customer retention pattern is consistently high. The objective of this study, therefore, is to create a prediction model that is capable of predicting the retention rate of bank customers. In other to achieve this central goal, this study proposed a machine learning predictive model, created using a function that combines a number of base classifiers to produce an efficient model. The model was created from the dataset retrieved from an open repository, kaggle. The data basically comprised of some demographic and psychological features and the algorithms implemented on these datasets includes: KNN, CART and Naïve Bayes as base classifiers, while the Logistic Regression was used as the Meta Classifier. The model created was evaluated severally to determine its level of accuracy. The resulting output shows a very high accuracy of 83%. A further comparison of this result with the existing related studies unveils that, the proposed ensemble classifier out-performs the existing model which attains 79% to 81% classification accuracies. The proposed model is reliable and can therefore, be used as a bench-mark for similar models created for the prediction of customer retention pattern within the banking sector.

С конца XVII века армянские патриаршества Иерусалима и Константинополя стояли перед испытаниями и преодолением их тяжелых последствий. Константинопольское патриаршество, ослабевшее от теологических распрей, не сумело сохранить неприкосновенность Иерусалимского монастыря св. Иакова. Монастырь оказался во власти авантюристов и алчных представителей местной верхушки, которые безжалостно грабили собственность монастыря. Частая смена патриархов привела к тому, что под вопросом оказалось даже само существование армянской конгрегации в Иерусалиме. Этой катастрофической ситуации положило конец избрание Ованеса Колота и Григора Ширванаци духовными главами соответственно Константинопольского и Иерусалимского армянских патриаршеств. Монастырь св. Иакова ожидали новые испытания из-за претензий греческой конгрегации к самому монастырю и его имуществу. Взаимная борьба между армянской и греческой конгрегациями вокруг так называемого эфиопского наследия закончилась в 1739 г., когда османское государство решило сохранить статус-кво, существовавший до 1734 г., т. е. до начала армяно-греческого противостояния. Монастырь св. Иакова со всем своим имуществом оставался армянским, в Иерусалиме сохранялся их сюзеренитет над единоверцами-ассирийцами, эфиопами и коптами.
Since the end of the 17th century, the Armenian Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Constantinople have faced trials and overcoming their grave consequences. The Patriarchate of Constantinople, weakened by theological strife, was unable to maintain the inviolability of the Jerusalem monastery of St. Jacob. The monastery was at the mercy of adventurers and greedy representatives of the local elite, who ruthlessly plundered the property of the monastery. The frequent change of patriarchs led to the fact that even the very existence of the Armenian congregation in Jerusalem was called into question. This catastrophic situation was put to an end by the election of Hovhannes Kolot and Grigor Shirvanatsi as spiritual heads of the Armenian Patriarchates of Constantinople and Jerusalem, respectively. The monastery of St. Jacob awaited new trials because of the claims of the Greek congregation to the monastery itself and its property. The mutual struggle between the Armenian and Greek congregations around the so-called Ethiopian heritage ended in 1740, when the Ottoman state decided to maintain the status quo that existed until 1734, i.e., before the start of the Armenian-Greek confrontation. The Monastery of St. Jacob with all its property remained Armenian, in Jerusalem their suzerainty over fellow believers- Assyrians, Ethiopians and Copts was preserved.

На основе рукописей и других материалов, сохранившихся в архиве Туманяна, можно составить примерное представление о замысле драмы «Артавазд», ее возможном сюжете, идейных основах, психологических разработках автора, символах. Сравнительный анализ позволяет не только выделить некоторые существенные черты типологической дифференциации легенды об Артавазде, но и возможные гипотезы выявления контекстуальных подслоев драмы. Вопрос рассматривался с применением сопоставительного, историко-сравнительного, интерпретационного методов, с выявлением и анализом основы трагического конфликта между Арташесом и Артаваздом и ключевых черт, представленных в заметках Туманяна и в статье «Об одном разделе “Тенчаир Сатеник” Хоренаци». Сопоставление последовательно сделанных замечаний писателя по поводу персонажей позволяет сделать вывод, что среди циркулирующих версий характера Артавазда, его мифологемы, устойчивости времени и хаоса, добра и зла, двойственности и, наконец, вечной борьбы между жизнью и смертью, Туманян предпочитает записанную версию М. Хоренаци. На страницах тетрадей и рабочих заметок, наряду с описанием типологической и характерной системы мифа, иногда отчетливо просматриваются отдельные наблюдения поэта, раскрывающие его точку зрения и мировоззренческие ориентиры для оценки событий.
On the basis of the manuscripts and other materials preserved in the archives of Tumanyan, one can make a rough idea of the tendency of the drama “Artavazd”, of its possible plot, ideology, psychological developments of the author, and symbols. By means of a comparative examination, not only several essential characteristics of the typological differentiation of Artavazd myth are highlighted, but possible hypotheses for revealing the contextual sub-layers of H. Tumanyan’s “Artavazd” drama are also suggested. While studying the issue, we applied the comparative, historical-comparative, interpretive methods, pointing out and analyzing the basis of tragical conflict between Artashes and Artavazd and the key features in Tumanyan’s notes and in the article “On the section of “Tenchair Satenik” by Khorenatsi”. Comparison of the writer’s successive remarks about the characters allows us to conclude that among the circulating versions of Artavazd’s character, his mythologems, the stability of time and chaos, good and evil, duality, and finally, the eternal struggle between life and death, Tumanyan prefers the recorded version of M. Khorenatsi. On the pages of his notebooks and working notes along with the descriptions of the typological and characteristic system of the myth, sometimes certain observations of the poet are clearly visible, which reveal his standpoint and worldview references for assessing the events.

Alzheimer Hastalığı (AH), amiloid beta plaklarının ve hücre içinde hiper-fosforile mikrotübül ilişkili proteinin birikimi sonucu meydana gelen nörofibriler yumaklar ile karakterize olan geri dönüşsüz bir nörodejeneratif hastalıktır. AH, demansın temel sebebi olup 21. yüzyılda sağlık sistemine ilişkin en büyük problemlerinden biridir. Hastalık patogenezinde çevresel ve genetik faktörlerin rol oynadığı bilinmekte olup bilinen bir tedavisi yoktur. AH patolojisinin anlaşılması ve yeni terapötik yöntemlerin geliştirilmesi hususlarında deneysel AH modelleri kritik önem taşırlar. Ancak çalışmalar, temel araştırmalar sonucu elde edilen verilerin klinik çalışmalarda oldukça düşük oranda başarı gösterdiğini ifade etmektedir; dolayısıyla literatürde bulunan modellerin güçlü ve zayıf yanlarının değerlendirilmesi ve çalışmaların, hastalığın farklı yönlerini kapsayıcı modellerle gerçekleştirilmesinin potansiyel tedavilerin başarılarını artıracağı öngörülmektedir. Bu derleme makalede, farklı in vivo ve in vitro AH modellerinin patolojik ve moleküler özellikleri ele alınmış; bu bağlamda, geleneksel olarak kullanımda olan transgenik hayvan modelleri ile kanser hücrelerinin nöral farklılaştırmalarına dayalı yöntemlere ek olarak güncel hücre kültürü çalışmalarının odak noktaları olan indüklenebilir kök hücre kökenli organoid yapıları ve nöral progenitör hücre kaynaklı AH modelleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca farklı in vivo ve in vitro AH modellerinin kullanımlarının dönüşümsel özelliklerini kısıtlayıcı etmenler, organizma bazında özetlenmiştir.

Authors: Tran My , Vu Duc , Vu Manh , Bui My , Dang Binh , Dang Lan , Le Thien
Published: April 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the antibiotic-resistant profile and to identify molecular characterization of some virulence genes of Klebsiella spp. isolated from mastitis samples in Vietnam.
Materials and Method: A total of 468 samples from clinical mastitis cases were collected and submitted to the Laboratory. All samples were cultured, and Klebsiella spp. was identified through biochemical reactions and confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Antimicrobial resistance was tested by disk diffusion method, and virulence and resistance genes were tested by PCR.
Results: An antibiogram study showed that a high proportion of isolates are multidrug-resistant (94%). All isolates were resistant to lincomycin and sulfamethoxazole, followed by ampicillin (94%), sulphonamide (66%), amoxicillin (56%), streptomycin (52%), polymyxin B (28%), colistin sulfate (12%), tetracycline (6%), ciprofloxacin (4%), florfenicol (4%), enrofloxacin (4%), piperacillin (2%), trimethoprim (2%), nalidixic acid (2%), imipenem (2%), and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (2%). In contrast, all isolates showed sensitivity to gentamicin and ceftiofur. The appearance of an efflux pump system, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), tetracycline, and sulphonamides-resis¬tant genes was reconfirmed using different specific primers. Capsular serotype K1 and virulence genes magA, fimH, and entB, responsible for hypermucoviscosity production, adherence, and enterobactin production, were confirmed in isolates. Multidrug resistance and virulence potential in Klebsiella spp. are changing this mastitis pathogen into a superbug and making its management harder.
Conclusions: Klebsiella spp. associated with bovine mastitis in Nghe An province were mostly multidrug-resistant and carried virulence genes including fimH, entB, and antimicrobials resistant genes (blaSHV, acrAKp, tetA, etc.), but these isolates were not ESBL producers.

Published: April 2023

Background: Enteric fever is a major public health problem in developing countries like India. It affects all age groups but young children are at highest risk. Timely management with appropriate antimicrobial therapy can reduce both morbidity and mortality. In recent years, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance is a significant challenge. Therefore, this study was undertaken to study antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the Salmonella isolates.

Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of resistance to commonly used antibiotics in the Salmonella isolates.

Materials and Methods: Children between 6 months and 14 years of age admitted for fever and whose blood culture was positive for Salmonella Typhi or Salmonella Paratyphi A, B, or C were included in the study over a period of 2 years (August 2018–July 2020).

Results: There were 155 patients of enteric fever whose blood culture results were positive for S. Typhi/S. Paratyphi who were included in the study. Out of the 155 culture positive cases, S. Typhi was isolated in 135 (87.1%), S. Paratyphi A in 16 (10.3%) and S. Paratyphi B in 4 (2.6%) cases. All the 135 isolates of S. Typhi were sensitive to cephalosporins. High rate of sensitivity was noted for the first-line drugs – amoxicillin, ampicillin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. All 16 isolates of S. Paratyphi A were sensitive to cephalosporins. All the isolates of S. Paratyphi B tested were sensitive to cephalosporins, azithromycin, nalidixic acid, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.

Conclusion: At present, there is low prevalence of resistance to first-line drugs and third-generation cephalosporins and high resistance to fluoroquinolones, nalidixic acid, and azithromycin as noted in this region. Rational antibiotic selection should be based on sensitivity pattern to prevent emergence of resistant strains.

Published: April 2023

Background: Since the introduction of competency-based medical education in the medical curriculum all over India, emphasis has been given not only toward cognitive but also skill development of the undergraduate learners of the MBBS course. The traditional teaching methods are modified encouraging more interactive sessions, self-directed learning, and early clinical exposures. The assessment methods have also experienced certain modifications. For evaluation of the practical knowledge of the students in pre- and paraclinical departments, objective structured practical examination (OSPE) is being employed in several medical institutions. However, the question of its superiority and acceptability in comparison with the conventional practical examination exists there.

Aims and Objectives: The present study aimed to estimate the perception and acceptance among the students regarding these two assessment methods.

Materials and Methods: The 1st year undergraduate students of the Malda Medical College, Malda, were chosen for the study. After their prior sensitization regarding the two assessment methods, the students were given a feedback questionnaire having 15 questions made from different angles to compare the two modes of assessment. The results are subsequently analyzed.

Results: The students (98%) marked OSPE as a more objective way of assessment, which also helps improve practical skills and confidence. They (95%) also recommended the implementation of OSPE in their practical examination.

Conclusion: The majority of the students opined positively in favor of OSPE and stated their acceptance and recommendation in this respect.

Eğitim, genel bir ifade ile “bireyde istendik yönde davranış kazandırma süreci” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. İnsan davranışlarının şekillendirilmesinde informal/formal eğitimin önemi büyüktür. Formal eğitimin önemli hedeflerden biri de fırsat eşitliğidir. Eğitimdeki fırsat eşitliğinin sağlanmasındaki kriterlerden bir de eğitim kurumlarına erişebilirliktir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Balıkesir ilinin merkez ilçelerinden biri olan Altıeylül’deki devlet okullarına erişilebilirlik ele alınmıştır. İlgili okullara erişilebilirliğin yanında derslik, öğrenci ve öğretmen sayıları da Türkiye ortalamaları ile karşılaştırılıp yorumlanmıştır. Eğitim kurumlarına erişilebilirlik 29030 sayılı “Yürüme mesafeleri” başlıklı yönetmelikteki mesafeler baz alınarak bir coğrafi bilgi sistemleri yazılımı olan ArcGIS programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre eğitim kurumlarına erişim noktasında en problemli eğitim kademesinin anaokulları olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Okullara erişimin eğitim kademesi yükseldikçe azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre araştırma sahasındaki yapıların/nüfusun okullara erişim oranları; anaokulunda %26; ilkokulda %45,3; ortaokulda %84; ortaöğretimde %99,2’dir. Her ne kadar anaokulu ve ilkokul dışındaki diğer eğitim kademelerinde erişim sıkıntısı görülmese de hızlı nüfus atışı ve şehirleşmeye bağlı olarak ilerleyen yıllarda diğer eğitim kademelerine erişim problemi oluşabilir/artabilir. Nüfusun ve yapıların okullara erişilebilirliği noktasında yaşanan/yaşanacak birtakım problemlerinin minimize edilebilmesi için öncelikle erişim sıkıntısı olan mahallere eğitim kurumu inşa edilmeli, daha sonrasında ise şehirsel gelişimin gerçekleşeceği alanlar planlanarak ilgili mevzuattaki mesafeler göz önünde bulundurularak harekete geçilmelidir.
