Authors: Coskun Ali Kağan , Yapıcı Coşkun Zuhal , Budakoğlu Işıl İrem
Published: April 2024

Aim: The clerkship period in medical schools is an integrated learning experience that is also helpful in choosing a future career. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of both general surgery clerkshipship and awareness of learning styles on specialty preferences of medical students.
Methods: In this study, which was planned as an educational intervention, a questionnaire questioning specialty preferences and a learning style scale were administered to fourth-year medical students before their general surgery clerkships. Following the questionnaire, brief training was given about specialty branches and learning styles. After the clerkship, the students were asked to answer the questionnaire again about their specialty preferences. Changes between clerkship training, learning style awareness and specialty preferences were evaluated.
Results: One hundred eight students participated in the study (M:81, F:27). The mean age was 23.0. The most important factor in choosing a specialty is professional satisfaction (64%) with the work in that specialty. The approach of the trainers in the clerkship training (67%) was to focus on the most influential mind-changing factors for the choice of specialty. The most common learning styles among female students were kinesthetic and visual, while the most common learning style among male students was auditory. However, the learning style of students who preferred surgical branches was generally in the kinesthetic group.
Conclusions: An effective clerkship program in which students encounter effective positive role models, gain knowledge about their field of specialization and learning styles, and increase their awareness will provide the right guidance in their specialization preferences.

Aim: The World Health Organization defines a disaster as an "unexpected ecological phenomenon that exceeds the capacity and resources of an institution, disrupts normal functioning, and requires external assistance". The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of providing disaster training intervention to intern doctors at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine on their self-efficacy in disaster response, and to provide recommendations for enhancing their disaster response self-efficacy.
Methods: An intervention-type study was conducted with final-year students of Trakya University Faculty of Medicine. Following the Kahramanmaraş earthquake on February 6, 2023, disaster-related courses and public health services in disasters were added to the 6th Year Rural Medicine Internship curriculum. All 49 participants who attended these courses were included in the research. Before the disaster-related courses in the 6th-year rural medicine internship, participants were administered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES); only the DRSES scale was administered at the end of the rural medicine internship.
Results: The average age of interns participating in the study was 24.8±1.2 years, with 26 (53.1%) being female. Twenty-one (42.9%) of the participants reported experiencing a disaster in their lifetime, while 29 (59.2%) stated that there had been a disaster in their family. Twenty-nine (59.2%) participants indicated receiving disaster-related training during their medical education, while 47 (95.9%) expressed a need for disaster-related education. Eighty-five point seven percent (85.7%) of the participants rated their self-efficacy in disaster response as "poor."

Published: April 2024

Amaç: Dönüşümsel (transformatif) öğrenme, bireyin belirli bir problem ile karşılaştığında, bu problem durumu ile ilgili daha önceki bilgi ve deneyimlerini gözden geçirerek bu problemin çözümüne yönelik eyleme geçmesi, yeni edindiği bilgi ve deneyimleri gerçek uygulamalarla denemesi, belirli bir düzeyde yeterlilik ve özgüven oluşturarak yeni bilgi ve deneyimleri yaşamına entegre etmesi sonucunda gerçekleşen öğrenme sürecidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dönüşümsel öğrenme kuramını açıklamak, bu kuram bağlamında asistan hekimlerin nasıl öğrendiklerini, hekimlerin uzmanlık eğitiminde eğitici ve öğrenen rollerini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Alanyazında ilgili çalışmaları yorumlamak, belirli kuramları incelemek, değerlendirmek ve okuyucularda bu konu hakkında bir anlayış geliştirmek, kavramsal analiz aracılığıyla bir çıkarımda bulunmak olan geleneksel derleme türündeki bu çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda PubMed, Scopus ve Google Scholar veri tabanları taranmış ve dönüşümsel öğrenme kuramı ile ilgili çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Literatür tarama çalışması Ekim-Kasım 2023 döneminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Literatür taramasında kullanılan anahtar kelimeler “uzmanlık eğitimi”, “mezuniyet sonrası eğitim”, “transformatif öğrenme”, “asistan hekimler”dir.
Sonuç: Hekimlerin mevcut bilgi birikimi, beceri ve tutumlarını yeni karşılaştıkları problem ya da çatışma durumlarına uygulamaları ve süreç boyunca edindikleri deneyimlere göre yeterliklerini sürekli olarak güncellemeleri beklenmektedir. İlerlemecilik (progressivism) ve yeniden kurmacılık (reconstructionism) eğitim felsefelerine dayanan dönüşümsel öğrenme kuramında öğrenme sürecinin aşamaları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, asistan hekimlerin belirli bir problem ile karşılaşması, bu problem durumu ile ilgili olarak daha önceki bilgi ve deneyimlerini gözden geçirerek özdeğerlendirme sürecine girmesi, bu problemin çözümüne yönelik eyleme geçmesi, yeni edindiği bilgi ve deneyimleri gerçek uygulamalarla denemesi, belirli bir düzeyde yeterlilik ve özgüven oluşturarak yeni bilgi ve deneyimleri yaşamına entegre etmesi bir öğrenenin dönüşümsel öğrenme sürecini kullandığını göstermektedir. Dönüşümsel öğrenme kuramı, öğrenme sürecinin etkileşim, aktif katılım ve kişiselleştirilmiş bir deneyim gerektiren bir süreç olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Dolayısıyla, eğiticiler ve öğrenenler arasındaki etkileşim, her iki tarafın da öğrenme sürecini şekillendirmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle, öğrenme sürecinde eğitici ve öğrenenlerin rolleri bütüncül olarak ele alınmalı, eğitim programları hazırlanırken bu durum göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Published: April 2024

Предлагается оригинальный способ построения обучающего набора данных для нейронной сети NDM-net (Numerical Dispersion Mitigation neural network), подавляющей численную дисперсию при моделировании сейсмических волновых полей. NDM-net обучается отображать вычисленное на грубой сетке решение системы уравнений динамической теории упругости в рассчитанное на мелкой сетке. Данные сейсмограмм для обучения NDM-net предварительно рассчитываются на мелкой сетке, что является трудоемкой процедурой. Для снижения вычислительных затрат алгоритма время обучения необходимо сокращать без потери точности. В качестве эффективной метрики для генерации обучающего набора данных рассматривается линейная комбинация трех метрик: расстояния между источниками, меры сходства сейсмограмм и меры сходства скоростных моделей. Коэффициенты линейной комбинации определяются с помощью глобального анализа чувствительности.

In this paper we present a new approach to building a training dataset for the NDMnet (Numerical Dispersion Mitigation neural network) neural network, which suppresses numerical dispersion in modeling seismic wave fields. The NDM-net is trained to display the solution of the system of equations of the dynamic theory of elasticity, calculated on a coarse grid, into a solution modeled on a fine grid. However, in order to train an NDM-net, it is necessary to pre-calculate seismograms on a fine grid, which is a time-consuming procedure. To reduce the computational costs of the algorithm, an original approach is proposed that allows to reduce the learning time without loss of accuracy. It is proposed to consider a linear combination of three different parameters: the distance between sources, the similarity of seismograms and the similarity of velocity models as an effective metric for generating a training dataset. The weights of the linear combination are determined using a global sensitivity analysis.

В настоящей работе исследован процесс теплопроводности в пористой пластине с упорядоченной макроструктурой. Рассмотрена краевая задача теплопереноса с симметричными граничными условиями первого рода с учетом зависимости эффективного коэффициента теплопроводности от температуры. При выводе дифференциального уравнения теплопереноса учитывалась также зависимость теплофизических свойств пористой среды от геометрических характеристик элементарных ячеек. Решение краевой задачи получено с использованием широко распространённых численных методов (метод конечных разностей, метод конечных элементов). В работе представлены графики распределения температуры и плотности теплового потока в пористой пластине с упорядоченной макроструктурой в различных точках пространственной переменной в зависимости от значений коэффициента пористости. Выполнен анализ влияния геометрических характеристик пористой среды на распределение искомых функций.

In this paper, the process of thermal conductivity in a porous plate with an ordered macrostructure is investigated. The boundary value problem of heat transfer with symmetric boundary conditions of the first kind is considered, taking into account the dependence of the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity on temperature. When deriving the differential equation of heat transfer, the dependence of the thermophysical properties of the porous medium on the geometric characteristics of the elementary cells was also taken into account. The solution of the boundary value problem was obtained using widely used numerical methods (finite difference method, finite element method). The paper presents graphs of the distribution of temperature and heat flux density in a porous plate with an ordered macrostructure at various points of a spatial variable depending on the values of the porosity coefficient. The analysis of the influence of the geometric characteristics of a porous medium on the distribution of the desired functions is performed.

Authors: Gómez García Wendy C. , de la Rosa Andelys , Batista Vhania , Matos de Purcell Alexandra
Published: April 2024

This report provides a summary of childhood cancer and the efforts made in the Dominican Republic to address child and adolescent cancer in line with the World Health Organization’s Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer. Information was obtained by review of recent local and international literature on pediatric oncology. As a result of the Global Initiative, a meeting was held by the Council of Ministers of Health of Central America to support the development of national pediatric cancer plans for each country. The objectives of these plans are to improve overall survival and quality of care for children with cancer through early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. In the Dominican Republic, several steps have been taken in the past 5 years to enhance diagnosis and care of children with cancer. For example, the National Committee of Childhood Cancer, headed by the Ministry of Public Health and including relevant stakeholders, was established to develop the national childhood cancer plan. In addition, a campaign was launched to raise awareness of childhood cancer, and the first early detection manual and public policy on child and adolescent cancer were published. A government initiative has been working to improve the hospital infrastructure and expand the pediatric cancer center, and a national course on early detection of pediatric cancers has been held. In 2023, the National Strategic Childhood Cancer Plan 2023–2030 was launched in the Dominican Republic. The plan will help policy-makers, implementers, researchers, and advocates enhance diagnosis and care of children with cancer.

Published: April 2024

In this study, Social Network Analysis method was used to determine the professional relationships, friendships and trust networks that teachers established with their colleagues. The study group of the research consists of 35 teachers working in a public secondary education institution in Aydın province. A three-question structured interview form developed by the researchers was used to determine teachers' social networks. Data analysis was carried out through the UCINET 6.0 program. When the findings regarding the positions of teachers in the professional relationship network, friendship network and trust network were examined, it was determined that the network structure with the highest number of connections was the friendship network (ties = 97), followed by the professional relationship (ties = 95) and the trust network (ties = 66). In all social networks, teachers with mathematics, guidance, literature and biology branches were found to be at the center of the network, acting as a bridge between other actors and providing information and resource flow. According to the findings, it was determined that the network with the highest density (dens. = 0.082), bilateral (dia. = 0.198) and triad (triad = 0.330) reciprocity rate was the friendship network. This study, which examines the professional relationships, friendships and trust networks that teachers establish with their colleagues, is thought to be important in revealing the relationships between teachers and analyzing the current situation.

This study was conducted to assess fishermen's perspectives on the massive fish kill incident in coastal waters in Rivers State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected using questionnaires from 101 randomly selected fishermen and the data were evaluated using descriptive statistics. The results showed that fishing was the main occupation of the respondents and the interviewed fishermen have fishing experience in the region studied and knowledge of their fishery. The results showed that 53.3 percent of fishermen attributed the strange phenomenon to pollution, while 19.8 percent cited infection and disease as the cause of the fish kills. The majority of respondents (94%) reported that croaker fish species were particularly affected in the study area. Other observations include fish swimming on the surface or jumping onto shore and affected fish washing up on shore. The unusual appearances of the dead fish commonly reported by respondents were as follows: fin rot, open mouth, disease spots and deep blue gills. About half of the respondents (50.5%) gave a range of 1,000 - 5000 dead fish and a size class of the dead fish of more than 30 cm. Most respondents (79.2%) indicated that the government has not taken any action. Few of those surveyed reported government action on sea clean-up exercises to remove dead fish and end oil spillage and bunkering as measures put in place by the government. The study recommended partnerships between the government and fishermen and fishermen's groups as stakeholders are required to address the concerns about marine waters.Keyword: Coastal waters; Fishers; Mass fish mortality; Nigeria

Nefes almak için gereksinim duyduğumuz oksijenin büyük bir kısmı, hayatta kalabilmemiz için hayati öneme sahip olan ormanlar tarafından üretilir. Bu yüzden ormanları korumak, içinde yaşadığımız yüzyılın en önemli konu başlıklarından bir tanesidir. Dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarında (ABD, Avustralya vb.) her yıl meydana gelen orman yangınları ciddi ekonomik kayba neden olmakta ve ekosistemi olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. Ateşin çeşitli renk, şekil ve doku özelliklerine sahip olması orman yangınlarının uzaktan algılanmasını zorlaştırmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada orman yangınlarının tespitinde insansız hava araçları vasıtasıyla tamamen otomatik bir sistem önerilmiştir. Ormanlık arazinin tespitinde uydu görüntüleri üzerine görüntü bölütleme yöntemi kullanılmış, insansız hava aracının tespit edilen bölgeyi en kısa zamanda ve en az görüntü ile kontrol edebilmesi için de küme kaplama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Daha sonra elde edilen imgeler üretilen yapay zekâya dayalı ateş algılama modeline göre değerlendirilip başlangıç ve ileri aşamadaki yangınlar tespit edilmiş ve konumları elde edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, yapılan çalışmada yaklaşık %97,51 değerinde doğrulukla yangın tespit eden bir erken uyarı modeli önerilmektedir.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a methodology created by adapting information technologies to the construction industry, creating 3D parametric and object-based models, and adding time and cost data to the models. In recent years, the creation of digital cultural heritage is a current field in terms of protecting cultural heritage and transferring it to future generations. Development of technology and the increase in opportunities, destinations that cannot be physically visited due to access difficulties or pandemics are trying to transfer their cultural richness to digital environments. For this purpose, Historical Building Information Modelling (HBIM), which is the version of BIM applied to historical buildings, emerges as an important tool. The digitalization of cultural heritage structures by modelling is a process that requires intensive labour due to the lack of uniform details, and the fact that they were made with different construction techniques at different times and periods. For this reason, this process will be improved with the creation, dissemination, classification, and accessibility of parametric object libraries with HBIM. In this direction, the research method; is based on the analysis and synthesis of the literature review and case study in particular on modelling and library studies as a case study. As a field study, it was created in three dimensions with HBIM on a registered civil architecture example that has lost its originality in Düzce province, Akçakoca district, and the building and library elements were modelled and transferred to BIM. The original state of the building has been created to be experienced interactively. As a result, the building and its elements are defined by parametric objects. With the development of the HBIM library, the elements of the structures of similar typology become digitally accessible and digital legacies are created much more easily and effectively. HBIM studies create a comprehensive three-dimensional data set in digital documentation, restitution periods and restoration studies.

Bu çalışmada poliakrilat kauçuk karışımlarının yanmazlık özellikleri arttırılarak florokarbon monomer kauçuğa alternatif malzeme olarak kullanılması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için, poliakrilat kauçuk formülasyonlarına farklı miktarlarda halojen içermeyen alev geciktirici malzemeler (melamin ve amonyum polifosfat) eklenerek kauçuk hamurları hazırlanmış ve bu hamurların vulkanizasyonu sonucu elde edilen vulkanizatların reolojik, mekanik ve yanmazlık özellikleri incelenmiştir. Önemli reolojik parametreler ile optimum pişme süreleri reometre ile belirlenmiştir. Mekanik özellikleri belirlemek için yapılan çekme testi sonucunda ise hazırlanan poliakrilat kauçuk vulkanizatlarının florokarbon monomer kauçuk karışımına oranla daha iyi kopma dayanımı gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Yanmazlık özelliklerini incelemek için yapılan sınırlayıcı oksijen indeksi testi sonucunda ise poliakrilat kauçuk formülasyonlarına yanmazlık özelliği sağlayan dolgular olan melamin ve amonyum polifosfat malzemelerinin sırasıyla 8 ve 16 phr olacak şekilde eklenmesiyle LOI değerinin önemli ölçüde geliştiği görülmüştür. Dolayısıyla mekanik dayanımın önemli olduğu, gelişmiş yanmazlık ve alev geciktirici özelliğe sahip ve nispeten uygun maliyetle hazırlanan bu poliakrilat reçetesinin, pahalı florokarbon monomer kauçuk karışımlarına muadil olarak kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Contact Lens that Enabled Early Diagnosis for Diseases Induced by Oxidative Stress and Potassium Ion (K+) in Ocular Tissues
Authors: Şen Yaşar
Published: April 2024

The present study used sensor technology to design a lens that could replace a docto.r It consists of an oxidative stress sensor, a (K+) ion sensor and a pressure sensor placed on a Lotrafilcon A silicone hydrogel lens for early diagnosis, as well as a recording and display device that the user can use on their own, recording 24 hours a day and alerting when needed. Additionally, power will be provided to the sensors for data transmission via an external wireless power transfer device. The oxidative stress sensor detects oxidative stress in the structures of the eye and indicates that the patient may have an abnormal condition like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts. Likewise, the (K +) ion sensor detects the (K +) ion concentration in the ocular cells and detects abnormal conditions where the concentration is elevated. The pressure sensor allows the intraocular pressure of patients diagnosed with glaucoma to be kept under control. This way, diseases can be diagnosed early, and continuous monitoring and control of the disease will be ensured. This will prevent the user from having to make frequent visits to the hospital, while also reducing the workload.

This paper documents the lived experiences of homosexual students and their identity development in Southern Leyte. The informants were gathered through purposive sampling and were interviewed face-to-face. Data were collected from the informants through a researcher-made questionnaire. A narrative inquiry method was utilized, where researcher-made questionnaires were used as a guide for the face-to-face interviews. It was identified that homosexuals have difficulty disclosing their sexuality to others due to various reasons. It was also noted that acceptance of homosexuals was a major factor in achieving their sexual identity. Some homosexuals disclosed that they believed their homosexuality was innate and inborn, indicating that they felt they were born to be homosexuals. Given the results of this study, it is recommended that respect for individuality, acceptance, and an open-minded attitude be extended to everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Published: April 2024

Youth Justice (YJ) professionals experience work-related stress, challenges and trauma in their work (Sibisi & Warria, 2020) yet they continue to enter the field. Research regarding motivations of YJ professionals for their work is limited, but necessary to improve overall quality of care and to ensure the most suitable candidates are hired. Semi-structured interviews aimed to explore YJ workers’ motivations for their work and how they experience and cope with challenges on the job. Thematic analyses indicates that YJ professionals are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to the lives of youth through prevention and intervention, progress and learning, and advocacy and resource provision. Challenges in YJ work are often related to feeling unsupported owing to low salaries, staff shortages, and system constraints. Motivating factors which contribute to their ability to stay in the field despite the challenges include a passion for their work and seeing change in their clients. Healthy coping strategies appear necessary to manage challenges and may contribute to the longevity in the field. Findings provide insight into YJ professionals' motivations, coping, and reasons for remaining in the field. These results can help to inform hiring, training and policy in Ontario YJ work.
