mülakat yapılarak, anlatmaları kayıt altına alındı.

Gazilerin bire bir yaşadıkları ve şahit oldukları
düşüncelerine yer verilerek, Amasya Gaziler Derneği ile Askerlik şubesinden
alınan verilerden de faydalanılarak kategoriler oluşturularak tablolarla
bulgular elde edildi. Sonuçta Türkiye’nin “NATO’ya” girişine katkı sağlandığı
gibi Türk Mehmetçiği, Kore’de bu günde Türk Milletine karşı duyulan sevgi ve
saygının temellerini atmış oldu.
Aile İçi İletişimde Sosyal Medya: Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey Üniversitesi Öğrencileri Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Authors: DİLBER Fadime 
Published: December 2019

Günümüzde teknolojinin
gelişmesine paralel olarak gelişen sosyal medya, hayatımızın vazgeçilmez bir
iletişim ortamı olmuştur. Toplumun en küçük temel taşı olan ailenin de sosyal medyadan
etkilenmemesi mümkün gözükmemektedir. Sosyal medyanın gençler tarafından yaygın
kullanımı, aile içinde yüz yüze iletişim kurma, aile bireylerine vakit ayırma, zamanı
faydalı kullanma, paylaşım, sosyal izolasyon ve çatışma gibi durumlara yol açtığını
söylemek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada
Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey Üniversitesi öğrencilerinden 425 öğrenciye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada
yüz yüze anket uygulaması yapılarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Üniversite öğrencilerine sosyal medya ve aile içi
iletişim ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Üniversite öğrencilerinin en çok kullandığı sosyal medya aracı
İnstagram olarak görülmektedir. Sosyal medyayı
eğlenme ve boş vakitleri değerlendirmek amacı kullandıklarını belirtmektedirler.
Sosyal medyanın ailede yüz yüze iletişimi engellediği, bireyleri
yalnızlaştırdığı, anne ve babaların çocukları ile çatışmasına neden olduğu, ailelerde
konuşmaya engel olduğu ve öğrencilerin eğlenceli zaman geçirdikleri ifadelerinde
anlamlı farklılıklar görülmüştür. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin sosyal medya
kullanmanın, aile içi iletişimi olumsuz etkilediği görüşüne sahiptirler.

Published: December 2019

Kısa bir ifadeyle,
üyelerinin hak ve çıkarlarını koruyarak, geliştirmeyi amaçlayan ve sürekliliği
olan örgütler olarak tanımlanan sendikalarla, eşitlik, özgürlük, insan hakları
gibi kavramlarla yakından ilişkili olan demokrasi arasında güçlü bir ilişki
bulunmaktadır. Sendikalar bir sivil toplum kuruluşu olmakla beraber, demokrasi
ile birlikte anıldıklarında, sendika içi demokrasi kavramı ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Tekirdağ ili ve ilçelerindeki
işçi sendikaları ile kamu görevlileri sendikaları, nitel araştırma
yöntemlerinden “yarı yapılandırılmış
mülakat tekniği” kullanılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Her iki sendikal
oluşumdan üyelerle yapılan görüşmeler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuş ve sendika
içi demokrasinin uygulanması açısından bir farklılık olmamakla beraber, kamu
görevlileri sendikalarının üyelerinin sendika içi süreçler hakkında yeterli
bilgiye sahip olmadığı ve bu durumun sendika içi demokrasinin sağlıklı biçimde
işletilememesine yol açtığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
Periodic properties of pushdown automata
Authors: Ivanov Ilya E. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Finite automata transform periodic sequences into periodic ones. The period of the output sequence is bounded from above by a linear function of input period. It is known that pushdown automata also preserve the set of periodic sequences. We prove that the output period for one-counter pushdown automata is bounded from above by a quadratic function of input period. We also give an example of an automaton with a quadratic lower bound on output period.
Practices, attitudes and barriers faced by internists and pediatricians in transitioning young adult patients to adult medicine
Authors: Erspamer Kayla J. , Jacob Hannah , Hasan Reem 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Purpose
To assess perspectives of clinicians at an academic medical center regarding current practices, barriers and possible interventions in transitioning young adult patients to adult care.

Methods
Electronic survey results from licensed independent providers in the Departments of Internal Medicine (n = 87) and Pediatrics (n = 49) were analyzed.

Results
The majority of providers at our institution are unaware of and do not follow national transition guidelines. Seventy-seven percent of pediatricians provide the majority of preparation and support in transition care of young adults with complex medical conditions without involvement of other interprofessional team members. Ninety-six percent of internists report not receiving formal training related to transition care and only 44% are comfortable caring for young adults with medical complexity. Eighty-eight percent of pediatricians and internists support a standard transition process, yet significant gaps in this process exist.

Conclusion
Despite the existence of national society-supported recommendations for transitions of care processes, lack of awareness among providers regarding national transition guidelines has led to uncertainty when it comes to managing the transition of young adult patients. There is lack of communication between pediatricians and internists, and internists are not as confident in caring for young adult patients. The scope of work of the interprofessional team is not utilized adequately. Providers agree on the importance of developing a standardized pediatric to adult transition process. These results help inform possible future interventions to improve care for this population.

Authors: Han Zongfei , Zhou Shengfan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
We first introduce the concept of the random uniform exponential attractor for a jointly continuous non-autonomous random dynamical system (NRDS) and give a theorem on the existence of the random uniform exponential attractor for a jointly continuous NRDS. Then we study the existence of the random uniform exponential attractor for reaction-diffusion equation with quasi-periodic external force and multiplicative noise in ℝ3.

Authors: Zhou Xin , Chen Liangyun , Chang Yuan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we apply the concept of fuzzy sets to Novikov algebras, and introduce the concepts of L-fuzzy ideals and L-fuzzy subalgebras. We get a sufficient and neccessary condition such that an L-fuzzy subspace is an L-fuzzy ideal. Moreover, we show that the quotient algebra A/μ of the L-fuzzy ideal μ is isomorphic to the algebra A/Aμ of the non-fuzzy ideal Aμ. Finally, we discuss the algebraic properties of surjective homomorphic image and preimage of an L-fuzzy ideal.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
In this paper, axiomatic definitions of both L-convex bases and L-convex subbases are introduced and their relations with L-convex spaces are studied. Based on this, the notion of L-topological-convex space is introduced as a triple (X, 𝓣, 𝓒), where X is a nonempty set, 𝓒 is an L-convex structure on X and 𝓣 is an L-cotopology on X compatible with 𝓒. It can be characterized by many means.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the main causes of hospitalization worldwide and has high morbidity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. miR-451 is a special miRNA that is involved in many cancers’ development. At present, there is no research about miR-451 in coronary heart disease. In this study, we aimed to identify the action mechanism of miR-451 in coronary heart disease and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In this study, we found that miR-451 is up-regulated in the peripheral blood of patients with coronary heart disease. Moreover, TargetScan and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay results showed that VEGFA is a direct target gene of miR-451. C (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assay results showed that miR-451 mimic significantly inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in HUVECs. Moreover, we found that the role of miR-451 in HUVECs is associated with the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway. Taken together, the data indicates that miR-451 might be a novel bio-marker for coronary heart disease.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a form of acute multisystem vasculitis that presents with various complications, including coronary artery aneurysm. Heart failure and brain damage are rare, but life-threatening complications are associated with KD. Here, we describe a 4-year-old girl who developed intravenous immunoglobulin-resistant KD with both left ventricular failure and acute encephalopathy. On day 8 of the illness, the low left ventricular ejection fraction, mitral regurgitation, and low blood pressure, which required continuous administration of dobutamine, were observed during the treatments for KD, including intravenous immunoglobulin. She also appeared unconscious, where the electroencephalogram showed slow waves of activity in all regions of the brain. The cardiac performance improved after she received plasma exchange for three days. However, her unconsciousness with slow waves of activity on electroencephalogram and fever continued after the plasma exchange. Therefore, she was treated with methylprednisolone pulse, followed by prednisolone, as well as intravenous immunoglobulin. Finally, she recovered without any cardiac or neurological sequelae not only at the time she was discharged, but also throughout the follow-up period. The combination therapy using plasma exchange and methylprednisolone pulse may be a treatment option for severe KD with left ventricular failure and acute encephalopathy complications.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) occur in patients both in nosocomial environments and in community. More often HCAIs are associated to the use of medical devices and bacterial biofilm development on these equipments. Due to the clinical and economic relevance of this topic, new strategies for the treatment of infections caused by biofilm proliferation are unceasingly searched by scientists.
The present study investigated the role of vitamin E to reduce the biofilm formation for a larger panel of human pathogens, including strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas putida.
This potential activity was tested by placing a preparation of vitamin E (α-Tocopheryl acetate) as interface between the bacterial culture and the polystyrene walls of a 96 well plate at different concentrations of glucose, used as a biofilm enhancer.
The Staphylococcus genus was further investigated by spreading the vitamin E on a silicone catheter lumen and evaluating its influence on the bacterial colonization.
From our results, vitamin E has been able to interfere with bacterial biofilm and prevent in vitro biofilm formation. Furthermore, the ability of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis to colonize the catheter surface decreased as a result of vitamin E application.

Abstract
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a connective disease of the auto-inflammatory/auto-immune type of the retroperitoneum with unknown etiology and pathological mechanism. The manifestations of the pathology can be local or systemic. Amongst the local symptoms, the dull and constant pain in the hips, back or abdomen is the most frequent.
We report here a case of a 47-year-old woman, whose pathogenic mechanism could be related to an “IgG4-related disease” disorder as suggested by an increased serum level of this subclass of IgG and the positive immunohistochemistry.
The diagnosis is not easy, because this pathology generates masses; adenomegalies with retro peritoneal development, that makes it similar to lymphomas or metastases from ovarian tumors.
From Big Data to Learning Analytics for a personalized learning experience
Authors: Dipace Anna , Loperfido F. Feldia , Scarinci Alessia 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article describes Learning Analytics (LA) as a predictive and formative approach that enables the planning of educational scenarios in line with students’ needs and languages in order to set a priori and in progress systems of control and inspection of the following: consistency, relevance and effectiveness of training objectives, curriculum paths, students’ needs and learning outcomes. Thanks to LA, it is possible to understand how students learn. Training courses are designed to include the definition of those learning outcomes that respond effectively to students’ needs in terms of contents, methodologies, tools and teaching resources. The present article aims to describe and discuss, after reviewing the relevant literature, in what way LA represents a valid support not only in designing student-centred training courses, which assess outcomes, but also in carrying out a formative assessment considering the learning experience as a whole. The analysis of some case studies was a good opportunity to reflect and define the bridge existing between the use of LA for assessment purposes and personalized learning paths.
Wikipedia in university courses: teaching practices and educational benefits
Authors: Petrucco Corrado 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe academic world initially regarded Wikipedia with misgivings for a number of reasons, including the uncertainty concerning the reliability of its content, its anonymous authorship and the fact that students often use it as an easy way to cut and paste material for their coursework. In recent years, however, university instructors’ perception of Wikipedia has changed significantly: it is seen as a useful teaching resource, as well as a promising environment for learning and collaborative knowledge building. It can be used for teaching purposes by assigning students to create and edit encyclopaedia articles. Such assignments can have many benefits: in addition to improving students’ understanding of content, the assignments have been shown to increase their intrinsic motivation to learn, develop digital competences and build cross-cutting skills in online communication and interaction. Lastly, in connection with universities’ institutional role, editing Wikipedia can be an interesting channel for the public communication of science.

Abstract
This study is an overview of the technologies used by students with learning disorder (LD) and has the purpose of investigating how and the conditions on which digital technology can be an integral part of a motivating and barrierless learning environment also for students with special educational needs. Classrooms of the 21st century could be equipped with a teacher’s PC, student devices, e-board, Internet connection and a full suite of technological equipment, content, software and applications specially designed for education. The aim of this research was to observe whether the didactic work carried out in digital classrooms is beneficial to students with LD. By comparing data from the quantitative analysis and the observations carried out in the classroom, it is possible to affirm that the introduction of technologies in the classroom provides the benefits described by international works on this topic.
A note on the fast direct method for discrete elliptic problems
Authors: Goreinov Sergei A. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
We consider a method due to P. Vassilevski and Yu. A. Kuznetsov [4, 10] for solving linear systems with matrices of low Kronecker rank such that all factors in Kronecker products are banded. Most important examples of such matrices arise from discretized div K grad operator with diffusion term k1(x)k2(y)k3(z). Several practical issues are addressed: an MPI implementation with distribution of data along processor grid inheriting Cartesian 3D structure of discretized problem; implicit deflation of the known nullspace of the system matrix; links with two-grid framework of multigrid algorithm which allow one to remove the requirement of Kronecker structure in one or two of axes. Numerical experiments show the efficiency of 3D data distribution having the scalability analogous to (structured) HYPRE solvers yet the absolute timings being an order of magnitude lower, on the range from 10 to 104 cores.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The problem of constructing a numerically realizable model of a three-dimensional homogeneous random field in a layer 0 < z < H with given one-dimensional distribution and correlation function of the integral over coordinate z is solved. The gamma distribution with shape parameter ν and scale parameter θ is used in the work. An aggregate of n independent elementary horizontal layers of thickness h = H/n vertically shifted by a random value uniformly distributed in the interval (0, h) is considered as a basic model. For each elementary random field, the normalized correlation function of the corresponding integral over z coincides with the given one, the gamma distribution with parameters depending on the number of horizontal layers is used as a one-dimensional distribution. It is proved that for the constructed model the normalized correlation function of the integral over z coincides with the given normalized ‘horizontal’ correlation function, and the parameters of the one-dimensional distribution asymptotically converge to given values for n → + ∞, but the corresponding mathematical expectation and variance coincide exactly with given values. To extend the class of possible models, an additional randomization of the basic model is considered. In the conclusion the results of computations for a realistic version of the problem are presented.
A new algorithm for numerical modelling of impurity transport in the frame of statistically homogeneous sharply contrasting media
Authors: Kondratenko Petr S. , Matveev Leonid V. , Vasiliev Alexander D. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
A new method is developed to calculate characteristics of contaminant transport (including non-classical regimes) in statistically homogeneous sharply contrasting media. A transport integro-differential equation in the space-time representation is formulated on the basis of the model earlier proposed by one of the authors (L. M.). Analytical expressions for transport characteristics in limiting time intervals in the one-dimensional case are derived. An interpolation form is proposed for the integral kernel of the transport equation. On a basis of this expression, an algorithm is developed for numerical modelling the contaminant transport in statistically homogeneous sharply contrasting media. Trial numerical 1D calculations are performed based on this algorithm. Good agreement was found between the numerical simulation results and the asymptotic analytical expressions.
Assessment of a Split Homing Based Gene Drive for Efficient Knockout of Multiple Genes

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Homing based gene drives (HGD) possess the potential to spread linked cargo genes into natural populations and are poised to revolutionize population control of animals. Given that host encoded genes have been identified that are important for pathogen transmission, targeting these genes using guide RNAs as cargo genes linked to drives may provide a robust method to prevent disease transmission. However, effectiveness of the inclusion of additional guide RNAs that target separate genes has not been thoroughly explored. To test this approach, we generated a split-HGD in Drosophila melanogaster that encoded a drive linked effector consisting of a second gRNA engineered to target a separate host-encoded gene, which we term a gRNA-mediated effector (GME). This design enabled us to assess homing and knockout efficiencies of two target genes simultaneously, and also explore the timing and tissue specificity of Cas9 expression on cleavage/homing rates. We demonstrate that inclusion of a GME can result in high efficiency of disruption of both genes during super-Mendelian propagation of split-HGD. Furthermore, both genes were knocked out one generation earlier than expected indicating the robust somatic expression of Cas9 driven by Drosophila germline-limited promoters. We also assess the efficiency of ‘shadow drive’ generated by maternally deposited Cas9 protein and accumulation of drive-induced resistance alleles along multiple generations, and discuss design principles of HGD that could mitigate the accumulation of resistance alleles while incorporating a GME.
