Authors: Gencturk Nuran , Uncu Betul , Karaahmet Aysu Yıldız 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Aim
The study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge levels of sexually active individuals about Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), HPV screening test, and HPV vaccine and raise awareness.

Subject and methods
A cross-sectional descriptive design was adopted. The data were completed with 150 sexually active participants between the ages of 18–49. The “Personal Information Form” and “HPV Knowledge Scale” were used to collect data. The data were collected on the online platform via Google Surveys using snowball sampling between September 19 and October 19, 2022.

Results
The average sexual age of the participants was 21.16 ± 2.2 years for women and 21.16 ± 2.2 years for men. The education levels of the participants were 47 (62.66%) of the women and 56 (74.66%) of the men, respectively, university graduates, and 58 (77.33%) of the women and 66 (88.00%) of the men stated that they were public employees. It was found that the average HPV Knowledge Scale (HPV-KS) score of the participants was 16.09 ± 6.11 in women and 12.26 ± 6.34 in men, respectively, and the level of HPV knowledge in women was significantly higher than in men (p = 0.017). Women were determined to be more knowledgeable about HPV vaccine administrations than men, which was statistically significant (p = 0.003). However, men were revealed to be administered more HPV vaccines than women, and the result was statistically significant (p = 0.042). The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between knowledge scores between those who had received the vaccine and those who had not and HPV awareness (p = 0.000).

Conclusion
The results indicated that individuals who had their first sexual experience at an earlier age and possessed a higher level of education were more likely to be receptive to the HPV vaccine.

AbstractGabriel’s Theorem states that the quivers which have finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable representations are exactly those with underlying graph one of the ADE Dynkin diagrams and that the indecomposables are in bijection with the positive roots of this graph.

AbstractSmall island populations are vulnerable to genetic decline via demographic and environmental stochasticity. In the absence of immigration, founder effects, inbreeding and genetic drift are likely to contribute to local extinction risk. Management actions may also have a greater impact on small, closed populations. The demographic and social characteristics of a species can, however, delay the impact of threats. K’gari, a ~ 1 660 km2 island off the Australian east coast and UNESCO World Heritage Site (Fraser Island 1842–2023), supports an isolated population of approximately 70–200 dingoes that represent an ideal opportunity to explore the small island paradigm. To examine temporal and spatial patterns of genetic diversity in this population we analysed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data (72 454 SNPS) for 112 K’gari dingoes collected over a 25-year period (1996 to 2020). Genetic diversity was lower in K’gari dingoes than mainland dingoes at the earliest time point in our study and declined significantly following a management cull in 2001. We did not find any spatial genetic patterns on the island, suggesting high levels of genetic connectivity between socially discrete packs. This connectivity, combined with the social structure and behaviour of dingoes, may act in concert to buffer the population from the impacts of genetic drift in the short term. Nevertheless, a general decline in genetic variation via inbreeding and drift has occurred over the past 20 years which we suggest should be considered in any future management planning for the population. Monitoring patterns of genetic variation, together with a clearer understanding of the social ecology of K’gari dingoes, will aid in the development of measurable genetic targets set over ecologically meaningful timelines, and help ensure continued survival of this culturally important population.

Abstract
Purpose
Central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumors are a diverse group of malignant tumors typically affecting pediatric patients that recently have been better defined, and this paper describes evolution of a unique type of embryonal tumor at relapse.

Methods
Two pediatric patients with CNS embryonal tumors with EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearrangements treated at Arkansas Children’s Hospital with histopathologic and molecular data are described.

Results
These two patients at diagnosis were classified as CNS embryonal tumors with EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearrangements based on histologic appearance and molecular data. At relapse both patient’s disease was reclassified as atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) based on loss of INI-1, presence of SMARCB1 alterations, and methylation profiling results.

Conclusion
CNS embryonal tumors with EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearrangements acquire or include a population of cells with SMARCB1 alterations that are the component that predominate at relapse, suggesting treatment aimed at this disease component at diagnosis should be considered.

Authors: Schirmer Anne-Marie , Golz Christoph , Eissler Christian 
Published: April 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Im internationalen Raum hat sich die Rolle der Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) aufgrund von Veränderungen des Gesundheitssystems und der Patientenbedürfnisse herausgebildet. Dabei fehlt es an europaweiten Übersichten bezüglich der Masterpflegestudiengänge, welche die bildungstheoretische Grundlage von Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) bilden. Um einen Einblick in die Pflegeausbildung auf Masterstufe zu erhalten, ist das Ziel dieser Studie, eine Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Studiengangslage in Europa zu schaffen.

Methoden
Im Rahmen einer sequenziellen Mixed-method-Studie wurden die Masterstudiengänge in der Pflege in Europa identifiziert. Daten dieser mittels einer online Fragebogenerhebung erfasst, dann deskriptiv und inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet.

Ergebnisse
Insgesamt wurden 391 Masterstudiengänge in 32 europäischen Ländern in der Pflege identifiziert. Die Inhalte, Schwerpunkte und der Umfang der Studiengänge variieren dabei erheblich. Die Daten zeigen sowohl die Tendenz zur Weiterentwicklung der Studiengänge als auch einen gesteigerten Bedarf an ANP und deren politischer Relevanz auf.

Diskussion
Aus den verschiedenen politischen und rechtlichen Gegebenheiten sowie unterschiedlichen Bildungswesen der Länder, resultieren erhebliche Unterschiede in der Ausbildung von ANP.

Schlussfolgerungen
So ergibt sich ein Handlungsbedarf in Richtung europaweiter Ausbildungsstandards und Reglementierungen, um bildungstheoretische Kernelemente der Masterstufe hinsichtlich der APN-Rolle aufbauen zu können.

AbstractThe environmental transformations associated with cities are expected to affect organisms at the demographic, phenotypic, and evolutionary level, often negatively. The prompt detection of stressed populations before their viability is compromised is essential to understand species’ responses to novel conditions and to integrate urbanization with biodiversity preservation. The presumably stressful conditions of urban environments are expected to affect organisms’ developmental pathways, resulting in a reduction of the efficacy of developmental stability and canalization processes, which can be observed as increased Fluctuating Asymmetry (FA) and Phenotypic Variance (PV), respectively. Here, we investigated whether patterns of phenotypic variation of urban populations of a fully terrestrial salamander, Salamandra salamandra bernardezi, are affected by urban settings compared to surrounding native forest populations. We sampled populations within and around the city of Oviedo (northern Spain) and used geometric morphometrics to compare morphological differentiation, head shape deviance from the allometric slope, PV, and FA. We also compared morphological patterns with neutral genetic and structure patterns. We observed increased levels of differentiation among urban populations and in PV within certain of them, yet no differences in allometric deviance and FA were detected between habitats, and no morphological measures were found to be correlated with genetic traits. Our results do not support a clear negative impact of urban conditions over salamander populations, but rather suggest that other ecological and evolutionary local processes influence morphological variation in this urban system.
Childhood traumas and emotional eating: The mediating role of self-esteem, and emotion dysregulation
Authors: Koçak Zeynep , Çağatay Safiye Elif 
Published: April 2024

AbstractEmotional eating is a very multi-dimensional behavior that involves consuming food in response to emotional triggers such as stress, sadness or happiness. It is also known that this behavior can arise from stressful events in childhood. Childhood trauma can cause various psychopathologies by affecting the emotional processes of individuals throughout their lives. Traumatic life events, low self-esteem and coping with negative emotions may play a role in the development and maintenance of emotional eating behaviour, which may manifest as an emotional response. Although there are studies in the literature that consider these variables separately, there is no study that evaluates these variables as a whole. The aim of the current study is to examine the role of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation in the relationship between childhood trauma and emotional eating behaviour. The sample of the study consisted of 400 participants (260 females, 140 males) in the age group of 24–50 years (M = 42.00, SD = 6.91) residing in different provinces of Turkey. Sociodemographic information form, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were administered to the participants. In the current study, the mediating role of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation in the relationship between childhood traumas and emotional eating behavior was tested with 2 different models in SPSS 29 software with PROCESS plug-in. The results of the study revealed that childhood traumas predicted emotional eating behavior and emotion dysregulation. In addition, childhood traumas and emotional eating behavior were found to negatively predict self-esteem. In this context, it was seen that emotional eating behavior revealed emotion dysregulation. When the mediation analysis results were analyzed, it was seen that similar results emerged. The results of the current study showed that emotion dysregulation and self-esteem mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and emotional eating behaviour. Childhood traumas negatively predicted self-esteem, while low self-esteem led to emotional eating behavior. Similarly, it was found that individuals who experienced childhood traumas had emotion dysregulation and emotional eating behavior. The results of the present study highlight the importance for clinicians to assess childhood experiences, emotion regulation processes and self-esteem levels, to consider these variables together, and to provide cognitive and behavioural interventions when emotional eating is identified.
Parents’ and professionals’ views on autistic motherhood using a participatory research design
Authors: Sutcliffe-Khan Farzana , Larkin Fionnuala , Hamilton Lorna 
Published: April 2024

AbstractResearch on autistic women’s experience of parenthood is lacking. In this paper, two studies are presented. Study 1 comprised a small-scale qualitative study with autistic mothers (n = 9) in which their experiences of motherhood were explored using thematic analysis. The findings showed that participants identified a range of strengths, including connection with their children, high knowledge about childhood, a reflective style of parenting, good coping strategies, identifying with their autism diagnosis, and not caring what others thought. They also identified difficulties, including sensory challenges, coping with uncertainty and change, having to socialise, managing exhaustion, and not being taken seriously by professionals involved with their children. Guided by the findings of Study 1, and in collaboration with an advisory panel of autistic mothers, an online survey using mixed methods was completed by education and social professionals (n = 277) to investigate their understanding of, and attitudes towards, autism in women and mothers. Results showed high awareness and positive attitudes towards autism, but low levels of self-efficacy in working with autistic adults. Qualitative content analysis of open-ended questions shed light on challenges and rewards of working with autistic parents. The findings are discussed with reference to the double empathy problem (MiltonDisability & Society, 27(6), 883–887, 2012) and implications for training of professionals.
The current status and future perspectives of clinical boron neutron capture therapy trials
Authors: Karihtala Peeter 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Several hundreds of patients have been so far treated in clinical trials with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

Methods
This is a non-systematic review of clinical trials with BNCT, with special emphasis on the more recent trials.

Results
The conducted trials have been relatively small single-arm studies and included mostly the patients with head and neck carcinomas resistant to traditional treatment modalities and glioblastomas. In general, the efficacy results have been promising and BNCT has been relatively well tolerated, even in the patients who have already been treated with conventional radiotherapy or chemoradiation. The most frequent adverse events have been similar to those associated with the conventional radiotherapy. At present, there is no evidence how the efficacy of BNCT would compare to the standard treatment modalities in earlier treatment lines.

Conclusions
Most of the existing studies have been performed with reactor-based facilities, but there is now a rapidly increasing number of linear accelerator-based BNCT sites, and the clinical research is apparently activating again. This, combined with the increased knowledge on cancer biology and novel types of oncological therapies, opens possibilities to study innovative boron carriers and to combine BNCT with modern oncological therapies in the future clinical trials. To conduct larger phase III trials, multicenter approaches are encouraged to be applied, keeping in mind the importance of joint instructions and quality control measurements.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe priority in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) research and breeding programs worldwide is to combine different features to develop cultivars tailored to specific applications of this crop. In this study, forms with a modified fatty acid composition of seed oil were successfully combined with a source of resistance to Plasmodiophora brassicae Wor., a harmful protist-causing clubroot. Three HO-type recombinants in F6–F12 generations with oleic acid content of 80.2–82.1% and one HOLL-type F6 inbred mutant recombinant (HOmut × LLmut), with a high oleic acid content (80.9%) and reduced linolenic acid content (2.3%), were crossed with the cultivar Tosca, resistant to several pathotypes of P. brassicae. The work involved genotyping with the use of DNA markers specific for allelic variants of desaturase genes responsible for the synthesis of oleic and linolenic fatty acids, CAPS (FAD2 desaturase, C18:1), and SNaPshot (FAD3 desaturase, C18:3), respectively. Of 350 progenies in the F3 generation, 192 (55%) were selected for further studies. Among them, 80 HO (≥ 72%) lines were identified, 10 of which showed resistance to at least one up to four P. brassicae pathotypes. Thirty lines in the selected progeny contained high oleic acid and less than 5% linolenic acid; eight of them belonged to the HOLL type conferring resistance to at least one pathotype. Two HO lines and two HOLL lines were resistant to four pathotypes. The resulting HO-CR and HOLL-CR inbred lines with altered seed oil fatty acid composition and resistance to P. brassicae represent unique oilseed rape material with the desired combination of valuable traits.
Intelligent Sinter Machine Speed Control System Using Optimized Fuzzy Logic Controller: An Experimental Study in Iron and Steel Plant

Published: April 2024

AbstractIntelligent control systems developed for production facilities significantly contribute to production efficiency and quality. Using intelligent control systems has now become a necessity in iron and steel sintering plants that produce millions of tonnes annually. Automatic control of the sinter machine speed, which directly affects production efficiency and quality, is one of the first issues to be addressed. The complexity of the sintering process, being affected by many variables, and the nonlinearity of these variables make it difficult to control the machine speed. This study demonstrates that we have overcome this challenge using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC), which is optimized with an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The FLC we have designed operates with the characteristic point of the thermal state, the mixture level, the vacuum average, and the current speed parameters. We achieved an average success rate of 95%. The developed system automatically controls the speed of the sinter machine with high accuracy, independent of the operator. The system we have developed is used continuously at the Iskenderun Iron & Steel Co. sinter plant. The results obtained from the production facility show that the developed system captures the thermal change in the sinter pallet and manages the machine accordingly, increases the sintering efficiency by at least 10%, and ensures process safety. These results revealed that the developed system can be used effectively in the iron and steel industry and the use of the system will increase efficiency.
Genetic diversity among the present Japanese population: evidence from genotyping of human cell lines established in Japan
Authors: Kasai Fumio , Fukushima Makoto , Miyagi Yohei , Nakamura Yukio 
Published: April 2024

AbstractJapan is often assumed to have a highly homogeneous ethnic population, because it is an island country. This is evident in human cell lines collected from cell banks; however, these genotypes have not been thoroughly characterized. To examine the population genotypes of human cell lines established in Japan, we conducted SNP genotyping on 57 noncancerous cell lines and 43 lung cancer cell lines. Analysis of biogeographic ancestry revealed that 58 cell lines had non-admixed Japanese genotypes, 21 cell lines had an admixture of Japanese and East Asian genotypes, and the remaining 21 cell lines had East Asian genotypes. The proportion of non-admixed Japanese genotypes was similar between lung cancer and noncancerous cell lines, suggesting that patients in Japan may not exclusively have Japanese genotypes. This could influence the incidence of inherited diseases and should be taken into account in personalized medicine tailored to genetic background. The genetic makeup of the present-day Japanese population cannot be fully explained by the ancestral Jomon and Yayoi lineages. Instead, it is necessary to consider a certain level of genetic admixture between Japanese and neighboring Asian populations. Our study revealed genetic variation among human cell lines derived from Japanese individuals, reflecting the diversity present within the Japanese population.
