Definition, Assessment, Health Consequences and Management of Equine Obesity: A Review
Authors: Akinniyi Olumide O. , Sackey Anthony K. B. , Ochube Gabriel E. , Mshelia Philip W. , Jolayemi Kelvin O.
Published: June 2023

Obesity is a state of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation. Obesity in horses increases the risk of developing a variety of health issues such as: insulin dysregulation (ID), reduced athleticism, colic, abnormal reproductive performance, laminitis, endotoxaemia, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipaemia, impaired thermoregulation, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, and osteochondrosis. Obesity is a significant health and welfare issue in horses that may go unreported or unnoticed due to a caregiver’s (owner) neglect. Weight gain occurs when a horse’s energy consumption exceeds his or her physical energy needs. Obesity is best assessed via necropsy or upon in vivo assessment with deuterium oxide administration, although this is not feasible in a clinical environment. In practice, obesity is assessed by: body condition scoring, cresty neck scoring, ultrasono graphic assessment, morphometric measurements, or biochemical indicators in the blood. Dietary and exercise programs are the primary means of controlling equine obesity. Pharmacologic assistance (levothyroxine sodium and metformin hydrochloride), being a secondary approach, may be effective in some cases. Management involves a long-term plan that requires the horse’s caregiver’s effort and discipline, as well as the support and supervision of their veterinarian. This paper outlines the assessment, health consequences, and management of equine obesity.

Authors: Kottferová Lucia , Čonková Eva
Published: June 2023

The in vitro activity of Cinnamomum cassia, Melaleuca alternifolia, and Cymbopogon citratus essential oils and antimycotics clotrimazole, fluconazole, and ketokonazole against T. mentagrophytes was evaluated by the disc-diffusion method. The essential oils were tested at 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100 % concentration. It was found that Cymbopogon, commonly called lemongrass, and cinnamon show stable results independent of the concentration used, whereas the efficacy of tea tree oil, significantly decreases with the decreasing concentration. When comparing the efficacy of antimycotics the largest zone of inhibition was obtained with clotrimazole, while fluconazole proved to be ineffective. We found that cinnamon and lemongrass are more effective than the antimycotics that we have used. Our study confirmed that some essential oils can be used for the treatment of dermatophytoses caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and some of them are more effective than the commercial drugs.
Phytobiotics and Their Antibacterial Activity Against Major Fish Pathogens. A Review
Authors: Hudecová Patrícia , Koščová Jana , Hajdučková Vanda
Published: June 2023

This review focuses on the characteristic of major fish bacteria, antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic substitution in aquaculture. Nowadays aquaculture represents the fastest growing industry leading to the use of intensive and semi-intensive methods resulting in outbreaks of bacterial diseases. Antibiotics are used to treat and prevent these bacterial diseases, which can cause an increase in resistance. Many antibiotics applied in aquaculture were originally used in human medicine and many countries do not have strict limits for their application. Annually, more than 700 000 people worldwide die from bacterial infections caused by bacteria resistant to antibiotics and even though European countries have strict rules for the use of antibiotics, the death rate resulting from resistance represents more than 33 000 people per year. One of the options how to resolve this problem is the replacement of antibiotics with bioactive compounds of plant origin that exhibit strong inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria.

Published: June 2023

Ground movement is one of the most frequent disasters causing major damages in Indonesia. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been widely used as a rapid observation method to obtain detailed characterization of ground movement. Often, active landslide area is difficult to access. This hinders close monitoring and observations of the ground movement. This study aims to demonstrate the use of UAV as tools for monitoring and observations on active ground movement area and to validate the results. For this purpose, the study was conducted at Gampong Lamkleng, Aceh Besar-Indonesia using spatio-temporal analysis by UAV photogrammetry. The UAV was chosen because it is easy to use, practical, and safe for landslide area that are relatively small and difficult to reach. Aerial photographs were processed using the Agisoft Metashape software in modeling and analyzed using Quantum GIS (QGIS) and ArcGis. The observation results show that the largest ground movement occurred in January 20 to 23, 2021 which was related to precipitation rates measured at a nearby rainfall station. The movement volume was 1,411.063 m3 and a rate of ground movement reaching 0.69 m/day due to heavy rain. The estimated value of losses is IDR 1,055,854,000. The UAV images analysis were compared to actual ground elevation measured using Real-Time Kinematic (RTK). The validation show that the accuracy based on comparison between photogrammetric and RTK measurement was at agreeable rate (99%). Otherwise, the accuracy performed on 19 check point using Root Mean Square Error analysis found that the accuracy was still very low. The low RMSE value is due to the georeferencing process using the Ground Control Point not being carried out.

Authors: Lysenko G. E. , Shchegolev A. V. , Bogomolov B. N. , Meshakov D. P.
Published: June 2023

Relevance. The therapy based on virtual reality is used as a method of non-pharmacological treatment of postoperative pain. Possible complications are poorly understood, making it difficult to use in everyday clinical practice.

The objective was the evaluation of the development of complications when using therapy based on virtual reality in the treatment of postoperative pain syndrome.

Materials and methods. A prospective clinical study was performed. 90 patients who had to perform surgical interventions were included. After randomization, three groups were formed: group I (n = 30) – therapy with a 15-minute session as an addition to standard therapy for postoperative pain, group II (n = 30) – therapy with a 25-minute session, and group III (n = 30) receiving only drug treatment of postoperative pain syndrome. Virtual reality-based therapy (VR-therapy) was performed 3, 7, 12 hours after surgery using the Oculus Quest 2 device. Postoperative nausea, vomiting and dizziness were considered complications of VR-therapy. The development of complications was assessed using the FMS (Fast Motion Sickness Scale) self-assessment of motion sickness and the Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Scale (PONV). The quality of the patient’s recovery after anesthesia was assessed using the QoR-15 scale.

Results. There were no differences in the incidence of visually induced motion sickness between groups with different session durations. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and the need for antiemetic drugs did not differ between the main and control groups. A positive correlation was found between the occurrence of visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) and the use of opioid drugs in the postoperative period. In patients with a VR-therapy session duration of 25 minutes, the indicators of the quality of recovery after anesthesia were higher than in other groups.

Conclusions. The use of VR-therapy with a session of 15 and 25 minutes does not lead to an increase in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. The duration of therapy did not affect the development of VIMS. The indicators of the quality of recovery after anesthesia in the group with a duration of VR-therapy of 25 minutes were higher than in other groups.

Published: June 2023

The objective was to evaluate the effects of prolonged (24–72 h) high-adsorption membrane hemofiltration on the hemostatic system.

Materials and methods. A retrospective study included 91 patients with COVID-19 who received prolonged high-adsorption membrane hemofiltration (Prismaflex system) as part of complex therapy. The group was divided into two subgroups, taking into account the outcome of the disease. We analyzed the level of D-dimer, fibrinogen, platelet count, percentage of large platelets, thromboelastogram indicators, reflecting external and internal coagulation pathways (Intem, Extem) before and after the procedure. The levels of serine proteases (tPA, PAI) were additionally analyzed in 35 cases.

Results. An increase in the D-dimer level, accompanied by a decrease in the fibrinogen concentration, was detected after sorption, which was especially noticeable in patients with unfavorable outcome (by 2.8 times). The thromboelastogram parameters after the procedure did not go beyond the normal range, the level of tPA and PAI became lower in both subgroups but there was no connection with the outcome.

Conclusion. Prolonged high-adsorption membrane hemofiltration in COVID-19 patients does not have a negative influence on hemostasis system. A decrease in fibrinogen level after the procedure is associated with its mechanical removal from the circulation because of fibrin adhesion on the filter’s membrane and on sets’ walls; an increase in the D-dimer level should not be associated with the detection of degradation of fibrin networks.

Published: June 2023

Anaplastic meningioma is an uncommon neoplasm in childhood and adolescence. In contrast to the case in adults, pediatrics have a predominance of males over females. We report a case of a 17 years old with progressive scalp swelling on the right side. Patient underwent subtotal tumor resection at previous hospital three months ago. The operation was stopped due to extensive bleeding. Radiological investigations revealed a dura-based tumor with a cystic component. Following preoperative embolization, a craniotomy was done, and the tumor was almost completely removed. The tumor's histopathological analysis revealed characteristics of an anaplastic meningioma. The aggressive behavior of this tumor necessitates meticulous monitoring of therapeutic measures in such patients.

Authors: Catherine Michelle , Widjaja Inge Friska
Published: June 2023

Indonesia telah memasuki aging population yaitu peningkatan populasi lanjut usia. Aging atau penuaan merupakan proses penurunan alami secara menyeluruh dan tidak bisa dihindari oleh semua orang. Penyakit kardiovaskular merupakan salah satu penyebab utamanya kematian pada orang lanjut usia di seluruh dunia. Penyakit ini lebih sering pada lansia dikarenakan adanya perubahan struktur dan fungsi pembuluh darah. Selain itu, penuaan juga dapat membuat munculnya kalsifikasi pada pembuluh darah besar, dinding arteri menjadi kaku, dilatasi aorta dan pemanjangan aorta yang disebut sebagai elongasi aorta. Tekanan pulsatil jantung yang terus-menerus akan mengurangi elastisitas dari pembuluh darah sehingga mengakibatkan elongasi aorta. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis korelasi antara usia dan elongasi aorta pada pasien di Rumah Sakit Royal Taruma. Studi analitik ini dilakukan dengan metode regresi logistik menggunakan 200 sampel. Data studi didapatkan dari data sekunder foto rontgen thoraks pasien yang diperiksa pada periode Desember 2021 - Mei 2022. Hasil analisis data didapatkan untuk kelompok usia 20-29 tidak terdapat elongasi aorta. Pada usia 30-39 tahun mulai terlihat adanya elongasi aorta dan pada usia 50-59 tahun lebih banyak pasien yang mengalami elongasi aorta daripada yang tidak (42 sampel vs 38 sampel). Hasil studi didapatkan hubungan bermakna antara usia dengan elongasi aorta (p-value = 0.001) dengan resiko peningkatan panjang aorta 1,065 kali per tahun. Berdasarkan hasil studi ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa elongasi aorta dipengaruhi oleh bertambahnya usia.

Authors: Nurhidayah Rahma , Dewi Andriana Kumala
Published: June 2023

Peningkatan angka seksio sesarea terutama di negara yang berpenghasilan menengah ke atas saat ini menjadi perhatian dunia. Hal tersebut dipicu oleh seksio sesarea yang dilakukan pada ibu hamil kelompok berisiko rendah. WHO mengusulkan penggunaan kriteria Robson sebagai standar global untuk menilai, memantau dan membandingkan tingkat seksio sesarea dalam fasilitas kesehatan dari waktu ke waktu dan antar fasilitas. Kriteria Robson mengklasifikasikan semua persalinan ke dalam satu dari sepuluh kelompok berdasarkan enam parameter. Ketuban Pecah Dini dapat dikaitkan dengan kejadian seksio sesarea dan dikelompokkan ke dalam beberapa kelompok Robson. Ketuban pecah dini merupakan masalah penting dalam masalah obstetri yang juga dapat menyebabkan infeksi pada ibu dan bayi serta dapat meningkatkan kesakitan dan kematian pada ibu dan bayi. Metodologi penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan desain penelitian cross sectional dengan jumlah 56 ibu bersalin dengan ketuban pecah dini yang menjalani seksio sesarea di RS Sumber Waras Jakarta Barat. Hasil penelitian dari rekam medis periode Januari-Desember 2020 didapatkan pada kelompok 4 dengan 50%, sedangkan yang terendah yaitu kelompok 8 dengan 1,78%. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah prevalensi ibu bersalin dengan ketuban pecah dini yang menjalani seksio sesarea di RS Sumber Waras Jakarta Barat adalah 76,71% serta menunjukkan bahwa kelompok 4 pada kriteria Robson memiliki jumlah yang paling tinggi yaitu 28 orang (50%).

Authors: Arinda Septian , Buana Ria
Published: June 2023

Kecacingan paling banyak menyerang anak-anak yang disebabkan oleh cacing dan termasuk dalam golongan Neglected Tropical Disease (NTDs). Di Indonesia, prevalensi kecacingan masih cukup tinggi, yaitu sekitar 30-90% pada anak berusia 1-6 tahun (pra-sekolah) dan 7-12 tahun (sekolah). Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh faktor kurangnya pengetahuan tentang penyakit cacingan, serta personal hygiene yang buruk, seperti tidak mencuci tangan sebelum makan, kebersihan setelah buang air besar dan kuku yang tidak dijaga, perilaku jajan di sembarang tempat, serta kebiasaan anak-anak bermain di tempat kotor dan tidak menggunakan alas kaki. Penyakit ini menyebabkan malnutrisi, keterlambatan tumbuh kembang, serta terhambatnya fungsi kognitif pada anak. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan dan personal hygiene tentang kecacingan pada siswa-siswi di SD Negeri Kejambon 7 Tegal tahun 2022. Studi deskriptif cross sectional dilakukan terhadap 95 responden yang dipilih dengan metode quota sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner mengenai pengetahuan dan personal hygiene. Sebanyak 77 (81,1%) responden dari 95 responden memiliki pengetahuan yang baik tentang kecacingan dan 91 (95,8%) responden memiliki personal hygiene yang baik. Kesimpulan dari studi ini ialah sebagian siswa telah memiliki pengetahuan yang baik tentang penyakit cacingan dan mayoritas siswa telah memiliki kebiasaan personal hygiene yang baik untuk mengurangi jumlah penyebaran penyakit ini.
From the experience of using media texts in RFL classes in a group of 4th-year philology students of Shenzhen MSU-BIT University
Authors: Danilina Olga
Published: June 2023

Recently, the concept of a language environment has acquired particular importance in the methodology and practice of teaching RFL, the key component of which is a textbook accompanied by culturological materials, including media texts, understood as "dynamic complex units of the highest level through which speech communication is carried out in the field of mass communications" (N. A. Kuzmina). Being the main unit of the media stream division, it unites various types of media products. Taking into account the current stage of technology development, the use of media texts at the B2-C1 language proficiency levels, characterized by broad communicative competence, understanding of the nuances of intercultural communication, seems appropriate and desirable. Although some authentic Internet texts require the formation of communicative competence in foreign recipient students close to the capabilities of native speakers, they are necessary for solving certain methodological tasks. In this regard, the work with an authentic post on the topic of intelligence from the site "Pikabu" in a group of 4th-year philology students of the Shenzhen MSU-BIT University preceded the discussion of the topic based on the material of reviews of the book by D. S. Likhachev "Letters about good and beautiful". The chosen media text allowed students to analyze, interpret the statement, and evaluate it. The discussion of the semantic side of the text activated their critical thinking, the development of communicative abilities. The discussion of the language side made it possible to attract the attention of students to its stylistic and genre features. The motivation of students while discussing the topic on the material of the post increased, so the subsequent study of the text of Likhachev's letter took place in an atmosphere of interest. Thus, the work with authentic material that is minimal in volume, but as representative as possible for the modern Russian media space, has proved its motivating and cognitive value. The use of media products of the considered type in Russian language classes at an advanced stage is a way to increase the motivation of students while discussing complex socio-cultural and linguistic problems.
Biocatalytic approach to the chemoselective acylation of sesquiterpene lactones from chicory: a pathway to novel ester derivatives
Authors: RODRIGUEZ MOSHEIM Juan , Ruggieri Francesca , Humeau Catherine , Hance Philippe , Willand Nicolas , Hilbert Jean-Louis , Heuson Egon , Froidevaux Rénato
Published: June 2023

In this study, we explore the use of the immobilized lipase Novozym 435 in the selective acylation of chicory sesquiterpene lactones (STLs) - lactucin (Lc), 11β,13-dihydrolactucin (DHLc), lactucopicrin (Lp), and 11β,13-dihydrolactucopicrin (DHLp) - using aliphatic vinyl esters as acyl donors. Despite the scarcity of these STLs due to their challenging extraction process and high cost, our results demonstrate the broad applicability and very high efficiency of this method. Furthermore, this methodology enables the selective esterification of the primary alcohol group without transesterifying the existing ester in the substrates. We also describe the enzyme-substrate binding modes in the acylation reactions with STLs, as well as the nature of their interactions with crucial amino acid residues at the active site, providing further insight into the potential of this approach. This study forms a foundation for the tailored functionalization of STLs, offering possibilities for the synthesis of STL derivatives with significant potential applications as pharmaceuticals or biocontrol agents.

Authors: Helmbrecht Lukas , van der Weijden Arno , van Dongen Sjoerd , van Campenhout Christiaan , Noorduin Willem L.
Published: June 2023

Although the global ban of leaded gasoline has markedly reduced lead poisoning, many other environmental sources of lead exposure such as paint, pipes, mines, and recycling sites remain. Existing methods to identify these sources are either costly or unreliable. We here report a new sensitive and inexpensive lead detection method that relies on the formation of a perovskite semiconductor. The method only requires spraying the material of interest with methylammonium bromide and observing photoluminescence under UV light. The method detects as little as 1.0 ng/mm² lead with the naked eye and 50 pg/mm² using a digital photo camera. We exposed more than 50 different materials to our reagent and found no false negatives or false positives. The method readily detects lead in soil, paint, glazing, glass, plastics, and dust and could be widely used for testing the environment and preventing lead poisoning.
MultiBinding Sites United in Covalent-Organic Frameworks (MSUCOF) for H2 Storage and Delivery at Room Temperature
Authors: Djokic Marcus , Mendoza-Cortes Jose
Published: June 2023

The storage of hydrogen gas (\ce{H2}) has presented a significant challenge that has hindered its use as a fuel source for transportation. To meet the Department of Energy's ambitious goals of achieving 50 g L$^{-1}$ volumetric and 6.5 wt \% gravimetric uptake targets, materials-based approaches are essential. Designing materials that can efficiently store hydrogen gas requires careful tuning of the interactions between the gaseous \ce{H2} and the surface of the material. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent-Organic Frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising materials due to their exceptionally high surface areas and tunable structures that can improve gas-framework interactions. However, weak binding enthalpies have limited the success of many current candidates, which fail to achieve even 10 g L$^{-1}$ volumetric uptake at ambient temperatures. To overcome this challenge, We utilized quantum mechanical (QM) based force fields (FF) to investigate the uptake and binding enthalpies of 3 linkers chelated with 7 different transition metals (TM), including both precious metals (Pd and Pt) and first row TM (Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn), to design 24 different COFs in-silico. By applying QM-based FF with grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) from 0-700 bar and 298 K, We demonstrated that Co-, Ni-, Mn-, Fe-, Pd-, and Pt-based MSUCOFs can already achieve the Department of Energy's hydrogen storage targets for 2025. Surprisingly, the COFs that incorporated the more affordable and abundant first-row TM often outperformed the precious metals. This promising development brings us one step closer to realizing a hydrogen-based energy economy.

Herein, we disclose the first report of 1,2-difunctionalization of C-C multiple bonds using electrochemical redox gold catalysis. By adopting the electrochemical strategy, the inherent π-activation and cross-coupling reactivity of gold catalysis are harnessed to develop the oxy-alkynylation of allenoates under external-oxidant-free conditions. Detailed mechanistic investigations such as 31P NMR, control experiments, mass studies, and cyclic voltammetric (CV) analysis have been performed to support the proposed reaction mechanism.
Protección igualitaria en un mundo de consumidores heterogéneos: el análisis económico del derecho del consumidor en acción
Authors: Rodríguez García Gustavo
Published: June 2023

Los consumidores tenemos diferentes preferencias, necesidades y limitaciones. No obstante ese dato incuestionable, los sistemas de protección al consumidor suelen apostar ciegamente por esquemas de tutela igualitarios. De manera incluso más grave, muchos esquemas igualitarios operan como esquemas mandatorios. En este trabajo, se plantea que tales esquemas lesionan severamente el principio de soberanía del consumidor y agravian al consumidor dado que se alejan del proceso espontáneo de mercado y lo reemplazan por diseños rígidos que afectan inevitablemente a aquellos consumidores cuyas preferencias o posibilidades se alejan de la regla trazada por la legislación.

Role Conceptions and Leadership Rivalry in the Middle East: Transforming Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Gulf Relations
Authors: İNAN Muhammed Yakup
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the Middle East has often been the subject of foreign interventions and the interests of superpowers. The effect of internal dynamics was pushed to the background in regional developments as a result of this situation. It is very important, however, to analyze the Middle East by understanding the power struggles between the regional powers Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran.

This article examines the leadership struggle and role conceptualizations between the regional powers of the Middle East with a focus on the relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia. It argues that Turkey is not a rival to Saudi Arabia's national role conceptions in the Gulf region, but rather a favorable partner when it comes to Gulf security and economic relations. Relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia will follow a positive course with mutual normalization steps and Turkey's export-led growth and regional cooperation strategies.

Peran Perempuan dalam Proses Bina Damai: Studi Kasus Aktivis Perempuan di Sudan Selatan (2005-2018)
Authors: Andris Maria Fryna Angelica , Tambunan Edwin Martua Bangun
Published: June 2023

Amidst the oppressive patriarchal culture, the lingering conflict in South Sudan between 2005-2018 has caused women to experience discrimination and violence. The dissatisfaction of women activists with the social system and the protracted conflict eventually encouraged them to participate in the peacebuilding process. This article examines the role of women in the peacebuilding activities by describing the work of women activists in South Sudan. The study is conducted qualitatively by applying the case study method and utilizing the Feminist methodology to comprehensively examine individuals and women's activist organizations activities in peacebuilding through the women perspective. This research finds that women activists play a role in the peacebuilding process at every level of the actor pyramid, from grassroots, middle, to top level. Positive and transformative changes take place as the result of their roles. At the top level, the peacebuilding efforts have encouraged the South Sudanese government to involve women activists in the peace negotiation process withSudan and ensure gender equality in the formulated constitution. At the middle and lower levels, peacebuilding efforts succeeded in convincing South Sudanese to support the implementation of gender equality as part of conflict resolution.

Transformer-based ensemble deep learning model for EEG-based emotion recognition
Authors: Si Xiaopeng , Huang Dong , Sun Yulin , Huang Shudi , Huang He , Ming Dong
Published: June 2023

Emotion recognition is one of the most important research directions in the field of brain–computer interface (BCI). However, to conduct electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion recognition, there exist difficulties regarding EEG signal processing; moreover, the performance of classification models in this regard is restricted. To counter these issues, the 2022 World Robot Contest successfully held an affective BCI competition, thus promoting the innovation of EEG-based emotion recognition. In this paper, we propose the Transformer-based ensemble (TBEM) deep learning model. TBEM comprises two models: a pure convolutional neural network (CNN) model and a cascaded CNN-Transformer hybrid model. The proposed model won the abovementioned affective BCI competition’s final championship in the 2022 World Robot Contest, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed TBEM deep learning model for EEG-based emotion recognition.

Characterization of Induced Polarization Parameters from Electromagnetic Data using Evolutionary Approach
Authors: Elkattan Mohamed , Kamel Aladin
Published: June 2023

Electromagnetic methods are one of the most important tools for exploring the physical properties of scatterers. When the scattering object is polarizable, more information can be gained from electromagnetic measurements to determine the scatterer’s electrical properties. In this paper, an inversion scheme is introduced to extract induced polarization information from electromagnetic measurements. The inverse scattering problem is reformulated as an optimization problem that utilizes an efficient forward model solver to compute the scattered field. Furthermore, a simulated annealing approach is considered in the presented scheme, wherein different cooling schedules are evaluated to solve the inverse problem. The results of applying the proposed scheme to various case studies are reported.

Published: June 2023

This study focuses on the effects of learning styles on correcting the reading errors and improving the reading comprehension skills of elementary school 4th and 5th grade students. The study was conducted over eight weeks with a total of 128 hours, 32 hours each with a total of four students from two elementary schools in the Western Black Sea region, who has reading difficulties without mental, auditory, or visual problems. Ministry of National Education’s Turkish textbooks for grades 1-5 were used in the study. The Marmara Learning Styles Scale showed the learning style preferences of three students as auditory and that of the remaining student as visual. For students with a auditory learning style, the researcher created audio recordings with appropriate stress and speed. Before the students read the text, audio recordings were played through headphones. After listening, the students were asked to read aloud. For students with visual learning style, illustrated texts; texts with underlined words; texts with words, syllables and sentences highlighted in colored letters were used. The students' reading errors were corrected by using the word box strategy. The findings showed that, at the final reading that took place at the end of the study, student A was at the frustration level (90%), while students B and C were at the instructional level and student D had progressed to the independent reading level. Consequently, it was concluded that reading and comprehension activities based on learning styles are effective in diagnosing reading difficulties in elementary school students.

Published: June 2023

Safflower is a self-pollinating oilseed crop and has been cultivated since antiquity in the Middle East. Safflower has become a minor oilseed crop, and to increase its cultivation it is necessary to characterize and introduce new germplasm. Thirty-eight safflower cultivars and breeding lines from different countries have been screened with 8 AFLP primer combinations to assess genetic diversity and relationships among these genotypes. AFLP primers produced total of 410 bands, 113 of which was polymorphic, with an average of 51.2 bands per assay. Polymorphism ratio changed between 14.8 to 41.4% among the genotypes. Polymorphism information content (PIC) and resolving power (Rp) of the primer combinations were between 0.21-0.38 and 5.11-27.68, respectively. Genetic similarity coefficients were between 0.245-0.850 with an average of 0.573. Dendrogram based on similarity matrix produced three clusters and three cultivars clustered separately from the rest of the genotypes. The study shows genetic variation within germplasm and could be useful for breeding and genetic diversity studies in the future.
