Authors: Cetinkayaa Caglar , Cetinkaya Cagdas 
Published: October 2021

Human intelligence and talent are notions that have been studied in various disciplines like psychology and education overtime. Developing better understanding on these concepts pass through self-exploration of mankind and researchers use fundamental and complex scientific process skills in this process. In this regard, the study aims at developing a measurement tool by which indicators of gifted and talented students can be observed in a valid and reliable way. The research hypothesized four factored giftedness structures and then following technical operations and statistical computations were performed. Item poll was created after an extended literature review and analysis of existing evaluation scales. Items were revised, modified, improved and probable problematic ones were discarded throughout pilot study, and final template of the scale was obtained. Data was collected from 258 preschool/kindergarten children in Antalya province. Findings revealed sufficient and strong evidence for validity and reliability that the measurement tool developed was theoretically supported and a good measure of giftedness.
Supporting the Surviving Parent to Support their Bereaved Children: a psycho-educational group for parents
Authors: Finucane Niamh , Concannon Noirin 
Published: October 2021

This paper describes the rationale for developing a psycho-educational group about supporting bereaved children. The group is for surviving parents following the death of their partner. As social workers in a specialist palliative care setting, we noticed a similarity in the concerns and questions raised by the surviving parents the social work team met with. It is broadly recognised that there are distinct difficulties for children losing a parent and caregiver, as this is often the person that previously was central in the provision of love, security and daily care. It is well documented that the adjustment of the surviving caregiver and the quality of care received by the child after the loss, are substantially related to how children cope (The Harvard Child Bereavement Study, 1996). Studies revealed that when parents are supported, they can demonstrate an enhanced capacity to support their children. The group provided guidance on how to support their bereaved children. The importance of creating a support network for families by connecting them with others who have experienced similar events is well documented in the literature and was also a significant rationale for developing the programme.

Background: Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) chronic infection can lead to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), end-stage liver disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and mortality. Transient Elastography (TE) is used to non-invasively assess fibrosis. Whether immune monitoring provides additive prognostic value is not established. Increased red-cell distribution width (RDW) and decreased absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) predict mortality in those without liver disease. Whether these relationships remain during HCV infection is unknown.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort of 1,715 single-site VA Liver Clinic patients receiving Transient Elastography (TE) 2014-2019 to evaluate HCV-associated liver damage were evaluated for RDW and ALC in relation to traditional parameters of cardiovascular risk, liver health, development of HCC, and mortality.
Results: The cohort was 97% male, 55% African American, 26% with diabetes mellitus, 67% with hypertension, and 66% with tobacco use. After TE, 3% were subsequently diagnosed with HCC, and 12% (n=208) died. Most deaths (n=189) were due to non-liver causes. The TE score associated with prevalent CVD positively correlated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) 10-Year Risk Score, age, RDW, and negatively correlated with ALC. Patients with anisocytosis (RDW above 14%) or lymphopenia (ALC level under 1.2x109/L) had greater subsequent all-cause mortality, even after adjusting for age, TE score, and comorbidities. TE score, and to a modest degree RDW, were associated with subsequent liver-associated mortality, while TE score, RDW, and ALC were each independently associated with non-liver cause of death.
Conclusion: Widely available mortality calculators generally require multiple pieces of clinical information. RDW and ALC, parameters collected on a single laboratory test that is commonly performed, prior to HCV therapy may be pragmatic markers of long-term risk of mortality.
Perspective of Indonesian Pediatricians on the Role of PrebioticSupplemented Formula towards Immunity, Growth and Development in Preterm Infants: A Preliminary Data
Authors: Sitorus Nova Lidia , Dilantika Charisma , Basrowi Ray Wagiu 
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Immature immune system in preterm infants is associated with gut dysbiosis and poses significant health risks to their growth and development. Current guidelines for managing preterm infants focuses solely on macro- and micronutrients, whereas preterm infants’ gastrointestinal system requires optimalization to support nutrient absorption. Studies on the positive impacts of prebiotics as supplements have been conducted, but has not been implemented in Indonesia. Indonesian pediatricians’ perspective on these findings needs to be assessed. Objectives: To describe the perspectives of Indonesian pediatricians on the role of gut microbiota balance in supporting immunity, growth, and development of preterm infants, and the role of breastmilk and prebiotic-supplemented formula in optimizing gut microbiota balance. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 114 Indonesian pediatricians using a previously-validated and previously-used questionnaire on the role of gut microbiota balance on preterm infants, as well as the role of breastmilk and prebiotic-supplemented formula in optimizing gut microbiota balance. Results: Most respondents agreed that gut microbiota balance supports immunity, growth, and development of preterm infants. Respondents also agreed that breastmilk contains nutrients that support gut microbiota balance and when breastmilk becomes unavailable, prebiotic-supplemented formula can be given as substitute. Conclusions: Indonesian pediatricians considered gut microbiota balance to be important for immunity, growth, and development of preterm infants, and breastmilk to be the most ideal source of nutrition for preterm infants in optimizing gut microbiota balance. When breastmilk is unavailable, prebiotic-supplemented formula can be considered as an alternative.

Implementing basal reading program in EFL upper secondary school settings
Authors: Sajidin  , Mulyadi Dodi , Robiasih Hasti 
Published: October 2021

Basal readers have been selected by the school to cope with students’ lack of vocabulary size. With some positively perceived learning outcomes, the readers continued to be used from year to year and were decided as a school program, in addition to ELT national curriculum. The research is aimed at exploring the following aspects: (1) the teacher’s use of basal readers in the classrooms, (2) the classroom procedures developed by the teacher understudy, and (3) the students’ response to the implementation of the basal reading program. A descriptive case study with classroom observation as a main data collection technique was employed to explore the phenomena. The research brings several points to consider. First, basal readers have been extensively used by the school for different purposes: 1) for vocabulary enrichment, (2) for intensive reading materials, (3) as resource making classroom tests, and (4) a basis for writing phonetic symbols, and (5) for promoting speaking skills. Second, the school has developed its own strategies to use the readers with specific procedures. Third, the use of basal readers was positively responded to by the students with some suggestions for better implementation.
HIGHLIGHTS:

Basal reading program was implemented with a specific procedure developed by the local school English teachers.
Basal readers selected for the reading program were utilized to develop reading skills in which vocabulary memorization and pronunciation drills were used to support the skills.
The program was positively responded by the students with some suggestions for a better implementation.
GASTROPOD DRILLING PREDATION IN THE UPPER JURASSIC OF KUTCH, INDIA

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACTGastropod drillholes on prey shells provide an opportunity to test the importance of predation in an evolutionary context. Although records of drilling predation are widespread across the Phanerozoic, the temporal distribution and relative importance of this mode of predation is still controversial. Further, some studies indicate a decline of drilling predation in the Mesozoic but other studies do not. In this study, we present a new dataset of gastropod drilling predation on Kimmeridgian and Tithonian bivalves of Kutch, India. Our study suggests that drilling was one of the prevailing modes of predation in the Upper Jurassic of Kutch with strongly variable intensities, ranging from 2% in the Kimmeridgian Seebachia to 26% in the Tithonian Pinna. A significant, albeit small, increase in drilling intensity from the Kimmeridgian to the Tithonian assemblages is associated with a change in relative sea-level and depositional environment. The morphology of drillholes and recent discovery of body fossils from the same stratigraphic units suggest naticid gastropods as the most likely drillers. A literature survey, along with previously collected specimen from the Jurassic of Kutch, reveals a more complex history of drilling predation than previously assumed.
Through-Tubing Well Seismic: A Mast Campaign Across an Offshore Producing Field, Saudi Arabia-Kuwait Partitioned Neutral Zone
Authors: Yamaguchi Kaoru , Frignet Bernard G. 
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT
A multi-well VSP Through-Tubing campaign was conducted in order to survey 2 neighboring mature fields in the northern Arabian Gulf. Nine key wells were selected by the reservoir engineers and geophysicists from a total of more than 200 wells. The selection criteria included: (1) spatial distribution; (2) previous well data availability; and (3) completion type. At the planning stage it was estimated that 3 days (excluding night work for safety) would be required per well (one day to rig-up the mast, one day to acquire the seismic data and one day to rig-down). Local experience indicated that a single air gun would be an effective seismic source. A slimhole, monocable, single-axis geophone sonde was selected as the downhole seismic tool. The zero-offset VSP configuration, with 80 foot level-spacing from total depth to surface was adopted. A supply boat was dedicated for the duration of the campaign. The actual operation was completed in 24 days, 3 days earlier than planned. An average of 90% of the VSP levels were found suitable for first break detection, which provided accurate Time-Depth curves for all 9 wells. Geophone coupling quality is dependent on the Tubing-Casing contact. The tube wave is developed at all 9 wells; but, overall 80% of the levels were selected for VSP processing. In 5 wells, where sonic logs had been acquired, synthetic seismograms were generated which confirmed the validity of VSP reflections. The data is now integrated in a 3-D velocity model.
A novel strategy for degree design in amblyopia with anisometropia and ametropia

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Objective

To propose a novel strategy for degree design in amblyopia with anisometropia and ametropia.
Methods

28 patients with refractive amblyopic eye visual acuity ranging from 20/666 to 20/29 (45 eyes) were provided with optical correction followed by the maximum plus to maximum visual acuity (MPMVA) and amblyopic training. After which, the patients were supposed to test acuity improvement at the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month visit.
Results

At the initial 3-month visit and 6-month visit, visual acuity improvement from the spectacle-corrected baseline acuity averaged 1.5 ± 1.00 lines and 2.0 ± 1.10 lines respectively. Moreover, the data demonstrated that the age and baseline acuity both inversely related to the visual acuity improvement (P = 0.093, P < 0.001, at 3-month visit; P = 0.080, P < 0.001, at 6-month visit). And it showed there are no relationship between type of anisometropia and ametropia and acuity improvement at 3-month visit (P = 0.315), while they were relevant at 6-month visit (P = 0.025).
Conclusion

From another point of view, we proposed a new notion to reveal secret of amblyopia. The study directed by the principle based on the new notion showed that getting the degree to MPMVA and following by amblyopic training in amblyopia with anisometropia and ametropia can improve visual acuity effectively.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Background: Medical imaging is an intervention through which patient safety (PS) is of great importance. In monitoring PS, the major challenges include lack of relevant data, proper control, and appropriate feedback in taking the necessary measures. To meet these deficiencies, the related data should be investigated precisely and advanced technology should be applied to monitor the quality of imaging.Objective: The purpose of this study was to design and develop a PS monitoring system at the radiology department to mitigate adverse events.Methods: This developmental research was conducted in multiple phases including content determination using Delphi technique, conceptual modeling using Rational Rose software, database designing using SQL Server, user interface (UI) building using Agile software, and system evaluating in three aspects of UI requirements, the accuracy of calculating, and usability. Results: In this study, 110 PS-related important data elements were identified in 14 main groups and 26 PS performance metrics, as the system contents. The ERD and UML diagrams were drawn and the UI was created in three tabs: pre-procedure, intra-procedure, and post-procedure. Finally, the evaluation results proved the technical feasibility and application prospect of the radiology patient safety monitoring system (RPSMS). Finally, the usability of the system was highly rated (76.3 from 100).Conclusion: The RPSMS, offers the possibility to complement the datasheets for gaining a more accurate picture of the PS status and bringing up its aspects, which might otherwise go unnoticed or be underestimated by clinicians.

Abstract
Denosumab is a game-changing drug for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB); however, its clinical biomarker regarding tumor ossification of GCTB has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the relationship between Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the ossification of GCTB and evaluated whether endogenous nuclear β-catenin expression predicted denosumab-induced bone formation in GCTB. Genuine patient-derived primary GCTB tumor stromal cells exhibited osteoblastic characteristics. Identified osteoblastic markers and nuclear β-catenin translocation were significantly upregulated via differentiation induction and were inhibited by treating with Wnt signaling inhibitor, GGTI-286, or selective Rac1-LEF inhibitor, NSC23766. Furthermore, we reviewed the endogenous ossification and nuclear β-catenin translocation of 86 GCTB clinical samples and elucidated that intra-tumoral ossification was significantly associated with the nuclear translocation. Three-dimensional quantitative analyses (n = 13) of tumoral CT images have revealed that the nuclear β-catenin translocation of naïve GCTB samples was significantly involved with the denosumab-induced tumor ossification. Our findings suggest a close relationship between the nuclear β-catenin translocation and the osteoblastic differentiation of GCTB. Investigations of the nuclear β-catenin in naïve GCTB samples may provide a promising biomarker for predicting the ossification of GCTB following denosumab treatment.
