Views of pre-service teachers on the research-based teacher education approach
Authors: Bayrak Özmutlu Emel
Published: November 2022

In this study, the aim was to complete an investigation based on the views of pre-service teachers taking a scientific research methods course grounded on the critical features of the research-based teacher education approach. Within this scope, answers to the questions of “what are the views of pre-service teachers about (a) the outcomes provided by the research methods course, (b) the reasons for teachers to have research competencies, and (c) the professional function of scientific studies?” were sought. This research was designed with the basic qualitative research pattern. The researcher developed an interview form comprising open-ended questions to specify the views of pre-service teachers, which were the research target. To create the study group for the research, criterion sampling was chosen from the targeted sampling methods. The study was completed with 110 pre-service teachers attending the educational faculty of a state university in Turkey. A detailed analysis process was completed in four stages for the research data. Analyses were performed on statements reporting a total of 684 views. Pre-service teachers showed development in 25 subcategories classified into research competence, professional competence, and personal growth. Teachers’ need for research competency was justified based on the needs of contemporary teachers, the requirements due to the nature of the class, and ensuring the optimal conditions for effective teaching. Pre-service teachers’ views on the professional function of scientific studies were examined under five categories. These are reliable knowledge, real context, ideal practice, beyond experience, and distance from being guides. The research findings can be interpreted as the fact that teacher education practices which take the principles of the research-based teacher education approach into account have the potential to achieve the teacher qualifications targeted by this approach. Considering the potential of these qualifications to fulfill the complex and high-level expectations demanded from the teacher, it is recommended that studies be conducted on how the principles of research-based teacher education can be integrated into existing teacher education programs.

Ketamine Antidepressant Properties: a Systematic Review of Clinical Trials
Authors: Ferreira Diogo , Cruz Agostinho , Santos Marlene
Published: November 2022

Ketamine has been used to provide a rapid and persistent antidepressant effect in patients with treatment-resistant depression. This drug reverses depressive symptoms by blocking N-methyl-D-Aspartate receptors, which causes a downstream effect on glutamatergic system. The main goal of this work consisted in a systematic review of the antidepressant and adverse events of Ketamine in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Keywords were defined with PICO´s strategy and systematic review was performed by using the PUBMED database. After inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 21 articles were included. Results showed a rapid antidepressant action from the resynchronization of neural circuits upon Ketamine use. However, this drug was also associated with several induced side-effects, including changes in blood pressure, dissociative symptoms, headache, nausea and vomits. Different routes of administration and ketamine metabolites may be used to help to overcome some of the induced side-effects.

Authors: Pinto Diana F G , Coelho Mariana J P , Machado Marisa F C , Cruz Agostinho L S , Moreira Fernando X F
Published: November 2022

The use of cosmetics containing preservatives might pose a risk to the skin health of newborns, despite improving their adaptation to the external environment. The present work aimed at depicting the potentially hazardous preservatives in cosmetics sold in the district of Porto, Portugal. A total of 281 labels from newborn cosmetics were analyzed. From 729 different ingredients found in the analyzed labels, 15 were preservatives with previously recorded irritant activity, being sodium benzoate the most mentioned (n = 118). There was a significant difference between the means of number of preservatives with an irritant potential present in the products sold in pharmacies and in the products sold in supermarkets. Most analyzed products contained at least one preservative. Still, the choice of cosmetics for newborns should consider those with a minimum number of preservatives, being more probable to choose a less sensitizing product in pharmacies than in supermarkets.
Deep Neural Network as an Optimizer for FMCW THz Image Deblurring
Authors:   Center for Sensor Systems (ZESS), University of Siegen, Germany, Wong Tak Ming , Bauermeister Hartmut , Kahl Matthias , Haring Bolívar Peter , Michael Moeller Michael , Kolb Andreas
Published: November 2022

A stable estimation of the THz model parameters for low SNR configurations is essential to achieve acquisition times required for applications in, e.g., quality control. The deep optimization prior approach was introduced with application to the estimation of material-related model parameters from THz data, which is acquired by a FMCW THz scanning system. Conceptually, this approach estimates the desired THz model parameters by optimizing for the weights of a 3D spatially coupled deep neural network. This approach was verified numerically on various THz parameter estimation problems for synthetic and real data. In this paper, we propose to combine the deep optimization prior approach to the modern 2D blind deblurring method for the FMCW THz image resolution enhancement. The experimental results show that this approach improves the lateral resolution enhancement robustly under low SNR noise condition in comparison to the per-pixel curve fitting method.
Single-measurement Determination of Molar Fraction and Temperature of Binary Gas Mixtures from Combined Laser Induced Grating and Four-wave Mixing Signals
Authors: Hölzer Jonas I. , Kozlov Dimitrii N. , Seeger Thomas
Published: November 2022

The laser induced grating (LIG) technique is a powerful, versatile, non-intrusive measurement technique that employs the generation of a density grating by application of the strong electric fields of a laser. Studying the resulting energy release in the time domain gives access to a manifold of thermodynamic, fluiddynamic and material properties. Typically, the determination of different properties is mutually exclusive i.e., all other properties need to be known for the accurate determination of an unknown. We demonstrate concurrent determination of temperature and concentration in CO2-N2 mixtures from the same measurement exploiting the occurrence of a four-wave mixing signal contribution to the LIG signal.

Authors: Poplas Andi , Planinšek Nina , Rušnik Miha , Nabergoj Rok , Podgorelec Vili , Kožuh Ines
Published: November 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the world and brought us new challenges such as spreading information. In today’s social networks-dominated world, the public is commonly informed via Instagram, one of the fastestgrowing networks. In our research, we looked at the said network for the purpose of spreading information to the public during the pandemic. We found that the majority of respondents do not use Instagram for gathering information about Covid-19. However, the level of awareness of its users increases as the number of perceived posts related to the Covid-19 pandemic increases. We found that older users are more informed, and that individuals obtain information from different types of profiles. We concluded that Instagram is still a good tool to inform users, as it reaches a certain level of people and informs them well about Covid-19 and can be used with advantage by organisations and individuals for sharing information.

Authors: Illg Christopher , Nelles Oliver
Published: November 2022

The use of regularized finite impulse response models allows to incorporate prior knowledge of the process. This can be used to decrease the variance error of an online parameter estimation and ensures a robust system identification. The online adapted model can be used to control time-variant or nonlinear processes. This approach is named adaptive model predictive control. The investigated method is tested on a nonlinear single tank simulation and is compared to an already established method.
Introducing A Microservice-Based Mobile Software Product Line – a Technical Debt Perspective
Authors: Pavlič Luka , Hliš Tilen , Heričko Marjan , Beranič Tina
Published: November 2022

The software product lines (SPL) enable development teams to fully address a systematic reuse of a shared assets to deliver a family of a similar software products. Mobile applications are an obvious and proven candidate for employing an SPL approach. Technically speaking, the SPL implementation varies. In addition to the industry-accepted best practices, including build-time directives, advanced design patterns employment, custom builds etc., the microservice architectural style (MSA) can also be used in terms of realizing SPL. Our empirical data demonstrate the impact of a SPL approach in multiple edition mobile application development. The next step in our research is to verify what the impact of the SPL implementation with MSA in the mobile application area is. Our hypothesis is, that in addition to delivering high-quality features rapidly, the positive impact on the accumulated technical debt will be demonstrated as a direct result of employing MSA to mobile development.

Depression: magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies (review)
Authors: Korostyshevskaya A. M. , Savelov A. A. , Abramova V. D. , Shtark M. B.
Published: November 2022

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive method for assessing the neurochemical state of the brain. In recent years, the growth in the number of high-field scanners has led to a rapid increase in such studies and improvement in the quality of MRS data, the development of mechanisms and technologies for obtaining and processing results.The review is devoted to the study of the possibilities of MRS in the study of brain neurochemistry in depression. The fundamentals of techniques and various approaches to MRS, technical requirements for the study material, advantages and disadvantages of the method, difficulties in interpreting the results, and prospects for combining MRS with fMRI and EEG are considered. Most spectroscopic studies performed in depression show an abnormal decrease in the concentrations of the amino acid neurotransmitters γ-aminobutyric acid and glutamate, which is consistent with the results of post-mortem histopathological studies. Multivariate studies are needed to determine the anatomical and clinical specificity of changes in Glx and GABA levels that are found in depressed patients.The presented material can be used and form the basis for further multimodal experiments using MRS, which may be relevant both for the informed development of more effective drugs, and last but not least, neurofeedback tools aimed at interactive interventions in the neural network organization in depressive disorders.

Authors: Domnina A. P. , Krasnova O. A. , Kulakova K. A. , Sopova Yu. V. , Karelkin V. V. , Lesnyak O. M. , Neganova I. E.
Published: November 2022

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by a pathological change in bone tissue, excessive fragility and a decrease in bone strength as a result of the predominance of bone resorption processes over the process of bone formation. This disease manifests in the form of low-traumatic fractures occurring in result of falling from a height of one’s height, or with little physical exertion. Osteoporosis could result in the fractures of the vertebral bodies and bones of the peripheral skeleton, causing a high level of disability. Of note, postmenopausal osteoporosis develops in women against the background of the cessation of the menstrual cycle. Here we overview the role of G-protein-associated membrane receptors (GPCR family) in the pathogenesis of this disease and the prospects for finding targets among these receptors for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. Malformations in the genes encoding GPCR lead to impaired bone tissue remodeling. Exploring the functions of GPCR family members is critical to the search for predisposition markers of bone tissue dysfunction and could improve the early diagnosis of osteoporosis. Studies on a model of osteoblasts differentiated from hIPSCs obtained from patients with osteoporosis associated with mutations in the genes of the GPCR family will allow a deeper understanding of the molecular nature of osteoporosis and the identification of new targets for osteoporosis treatment.

Background. Up to 83 % of the working population has a high level of social adaptation disorder due to the pain in the lumbosacral spine. The development of translational approaches in the treatment of degenerative diseases of the spine is becoming increasingly important. The key methods in the differentiated approach to the treatment are laser vaporization of the intervertebral disc and radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints in the case when the pain syndrome is facet-like.Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of a differentiated approach in the use of minimally invasive surgical methods in patients with discogenic and vertebrogenic pain syndrome based on an analysis of the immediate results of treatment.Design and methods. A retrospective analysis of examination and treatment data of 101 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the lumbar spine, accompanied by pain, was carried out. In 29 (28.7 %) patients, laser vaporization of the intervertebral disc was performed; in 72 (71.3 %) cases, radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints of the lumbosacral spine was used.Results. Positive outcomes after laser vaporization were observed in 27 patients. A positive result was noted in 67 patients after radiofrequency destruction of the sinuvertebral nerve.Conclusions. Differentiated use of minimally invasive puncture methods for the treatment of osteochondrosis of the spine and adequate selection of patients for these procedures often lead to the positive result.

Purpose: The aim of the current study is to examine the relationship between preprimary/primary education and economic growth in developing countries for the period 1997-2019.
Design/Methodology: In this study, making use of the relevant literature, two independent variables were added to Mankiw et al. (1992) neoclassical growth model and the extended model was used. The obtained model was estimated by the Generalized Moments Method.
Findings: The results revealed that human capital positively effects economic growth. Additionally, preprimary education is more effective than primary education over the economic growth. The results also indicated that the elasticity of human capital investment is higher than physical capital investment. Therefore, it is concluded that human capital supports economic growth more than physical capital.
Limitations: Since the data used in the study were only available for 40 developing countries, the remaining developing countries were not included in the model estimation, and again, considering only pre-school and primary education stages in the model due to the lack of data are the limitations of the research.
Originality/Value: Although the relationship between other stages of education and economic growth has been extensively studied in the literature, there are limited empirical studies between preprimary education and economic growth. For this reason, reaching the results that can contribute to the education policies of developing countries in the study constitutes the original value of the research.

Despite the destructive impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, tourism is one of the Turkey’s dynamic and fastest growing sectors. In recent years, the sector started to attract visitors for alternative forms of tourism such as sports, health and nature tourism. Lately, the East Black Sea Region (TR9) is preferred by outdoor sports and nature enthusiasts. The constant growth in tourist arrivals and overnights have increased both supply and demand for tourist accommodation which is considered as a differentiated product in terms of pricing. There is a variety of attributes or 'characteristics' on the rates charged for hotel rooms. To this end, this study aims to seek the attributes that influence the overall prices of tourism facilities using hedonic price methods. The particular impact of location on room rates is investigated. The results show that star category, hotel and room size, parking, beach, and Arabic speaking staff are significantly associated with room rates. Moreover, tourists are willing to pay more for accommodations that are close to the airport and visiting sites which are mostly located in highlands in the region. Therefore, the location of accommodation establishments in the region explains the price differences in terms of accessibility and site selection. The results would be useful for hotel managers and local policy-makers in order for design their pricing policies to attract more tourists to the region.

Spirituality poetry generally contains elements of beauty and aesthetics, so it tends to display linguistics and literature. Sa‘dūn’s poetry has its uniqueness with spiritual content in it. Spirituality in Sa‘dūn’s poetry describes the close relationship between man and God, which is reflected in the form of criticism of society. Therefore, this study aims to determine the form of spirituality in Sa‘dūn’s poetry. This research method uses content analysis by using Ibn ‘Arabī’s hermeneutics approach in its interpretation. The results of this study indicate two things, namely: (1) essence of death in the first poem contains three important pieces of advice, namely life in this world, life in the afterlife, and prepare for death; and (2) essence of ma‘rifah contained in the second Sa‘dūn’s poetry shows Sa‘dūn’s closeness to God as evidenced by two things, namely zuhud and world prevents towards Allah. This study is important in expanding the study of Ibn ‘Arabi’s hermeneutics which is usually only used to interpret the inner meaning in the Qur’ān and ḥadīth. Hermeneutics can also be used in other literary works such as poetry, novels, short stories, etc.

This study aims to determine the association of quantitative characteristics with growth hormone gene (GH gene) in kerinci duck using PCR-RFLP method. Samples total used was 96 Kerinci ducks consisting of 43 males and 53 females and 96 blood samples. DNA was extracted using the protocol Genomic DNA Purification Kit from Promega and then amplified by PCR using a pair of primers5'-CAA GGA ACA GAG GGT TTC CA-3' and Revers : 3'-GGG AGA TAG GGC AAA CAT CA-5', with a length of product 855 bp. The amplification product was cut using restriction enzyme AluI with the AG↓CT cutting site. Growth hormone/AluI fragments of Kerinci duck were electrophoresed using 1.5% agarose gel and visualized using doc gel. Data collected includes body weight, weight gain, body measurements, and blood of Kerinci ducks. The differences in body weight, body weight gain, and body measurements, as well as differences in body weight between genotypes were tested by T-test. The determinants of the size and shape of Kerinci duck were analyzed using PCA. This study showed that the body weight, weight gain, and body sizes of male Kerinci ducks were significantly different (P<0.05) than female Kerinci ducks. The Kerinci duck GH|AluI gene is polymorphic with three genotypes, i.e, +/+ of (49%), +/- of (39.6%), and -/- of (11.5%), and two alleles, namely (+) by 69% and (–) by 31%. Conclusion: body weight, weight gain, and body sizes of male Kerinci ducks were higher than female. The size identifier of male and female Kerinci ducks were sternum, shank lengh, and shank circumference, while shape identifier was wing length. GH Genes|AluI in Kerinci duck is polymorphic. GH gene |AluI of Kerinci ducks was associated with body weight, weight gain, and body measurements, and the best is the genotype (+/+).
