Authors: Soygüden Aydoğan 
Published: January 2023

This study was made to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the Erciyes mountain summit climbing routes and to obtain information about how the route names were formed. Erciyes Mountain has the title of the first mountain in the Central Anatolia Region and the 5th largest mountain in Türkiye. In terms of both winter tourism, mountain climbing, and highland tourism, it maintains its importance in every period of the year and is flooded with visitors. The study consists of interviews with 10 professional mountaineers, aged between 30 and 66, who carry out mountaineering activities in and around Erciyes Mountain. A questionnaire was prepared before the interview with professional mountaineers. In the survey questions, there are questions about the demographic information of professional mountaineers and the advantages and disadvantages of the Erciyes Mountain summit climbing routes. Telephone and face-to-face interviews were conducted with professional mountaineers. In the findings of the study, it is revealed that professional mountaineers have an emotional affinity with Erciyes Mountain. This emotional attachment is expressed as feelings for a lover. In the summit climb; 60% of the participants stated that they want to go out in the summer period. It has been determined that the most used route is the devil creek and the northern great ice routes. During the summer climbs, it has been stated that stone rupture poses a danger because Mount Erciyes is a volcanic mountain. In winter, there are difficulties due to weather conditions such as storms and avalanches. It was determined that 6 different routes were used by the participants in climbing the summit. These routes are indicated as the Devil Creek, the Devil's left lane (Nesrin Topkapi), the ridge, the northern glacier, the snow ice, and angel routes. As a result, Mount Erciyes is a mountain with a difficulty level above the medium level for experience purposes for people who have just started mountaineering. It is recommended that mountaineers with larger summit targets complete their high-altitude acclimation phase by climbing to the Erciyes summit.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0491/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

For the needs of this study, the “Barrier to Physical Activity Questionnaire for People with Mobility Impairments – BPAQ-MI” (Vasudevan, Rimmer, &amp; Kviz, 2015) was used. The results showed that the main intrapersonal inhibitors are the concerns for health and the attitudes regarding physical activity. Interpersonal factors that inhibit are physical inertia, the lack of encouragement, and the non-adoption of an active lifestyle in the familial and friendly environment. The lack of accessible infrastructures and programs, the lack of appropriate equipment for adapted exercise, the lack of marketing for people with disabilities, the lack of coverage of the cost of participation from health insurance, and the high cost of participation in athletic programs constitute basic organizational barriers. The lack of accessibility of the general environment, the means of transport to the place of exercise, and safety constitute social barriers. Statistically important differences are observed between the two genders, different age groups, different levels of education, and different frequency of participation in athletic activities. The understanding of the inhibitors and obstacles, will contribute to the obviation of the reasons of distance, to the reinforcement of participation in athletic programs and recreational movement. The designers of athletic policy, the managers of athletic and recreational centers ought to improve the infrastructure, the services, according to the needs of people with disabilities, and to eliminate possible obstacles that bar participation.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0266/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: January 2023

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of plyometric training on athletic performance and oxygen saturation in young male basketball players. 22 male basketball players who regularly practice basketball participated in the study. Participants were divided into two different groups as the experimental group (n:11 age: 20.41±3.27) and the control group (n:11 age: 21.78±2.32). A plyometric training program was applied to the experimental group 3 days a week for 6 weeks. Both groups continued their normal basketball training. Exercises known as drop jump, box jump, squat jump, split squat jump and overhead slam were applied to the plyometric training group. Anaerobic power, speed (20 m), flexibility (sit and reach) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) values were measured before and after the plyometric training. SPSS 22.0 package program was used for statistical evaluation. Shapiro-Wilk test was used for the normality of the data. Paired Sample t-test was used for within-group comparisons for statistical analysis of the data. The significance level was applied as p&lt;0.05. Anaerobic power, speed, flexibility, and SpO2 values of the experimental group were found to be significant at the p&lt;0.05 level. The values of the control group were not significant (p&gt;0.05). As a result, it can be said that the 6-week plyometric training program applied to young male basketball players has a positive effect on athletic performance and SpO2 values.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0400/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Osabinyi Dorinah Koli , Ouko Ong’ang’a 
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate ways in which parents are involved in their children's education as precursors of early literacy acquisition of children. The study used the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler Parental Model as its theoretical lens. The study employed a descriptive survey design. Data was collected through questionnaires and a reading assessment checklist for children. Public and private primary schools included in the study were selected through stratified sampling criteria comprising 12% of the total number of schools in the Kiambaa Sub-county. A stratified sample of pupils and purposeful samples of parents and teachers were then made comprising 12% lower primary students, 12% parents, and 12% teachers from each of the selected schools. A pilot study was conducted before the final study. Data collected was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 26.0). Pearson Chi-square test to establish whether there was a correlation between nuclear family structure, level of parents’ education, and parental involvement in early reading literacy skills achievement of lower primary school children. The results were presented in frequency tables, bar graphs, and bar charts. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of the children were aided in their reading literacy by their significant others and family members. Most parents always read with their children in their sitting room, parents seldom read with their children outside, some parents often read with their children in the kitchen, and fewer parents never read with children in the kitchen as well. The study concluded that family structure can have some impact on parental involvement in early reading literacy skills achievements for lower primary school children. The study recommended that parents and teachers must be aware of the significant contribution they can make to their children's learning by providing a stimulating environment around language, reading, and writing, as well as supporting the school's literacy agenda at home, both during the early years of schooling and later years. It can be concluded that parents are willing to engage when they believe the schools are open and eager to facilitate their engagement. Parental participation is difficult for teachers in particular, and both teachers and parents require particular help and clear instructions to promote engagement. The study recommends that parents and teachers must be aware of the significant contribution they can make to their children's learning by providing a stimulating environment around language, reading, and writing, as well as supporting the school's literacy agenda at home, both during the early years of schooling and later years.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0202/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Debut de cáncer gástrico con metástasis cerebral: manejo clínico quirúrgico
Authors: Romero Ayala Javier , Munive Gina , Portanova Michel , Zevallos Omel , Pachas Carlos , Mendoza Ronald , La Torre Alan 
Published: January 2023

El cáncer gástrico es uno de los más frecuentes a nivel mundial. Las metástasis cerebrales por cáncer gástrico son poco frecuentes y se diagnostican en menos del 1% de los pacientes. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 61 años con historia de disminución de la agudeza visual, cefalea y movimientos involuntarios. Le realizan una resonancia magnética que muestra una lesión de apariencia extraparenquimal occipital izquierda. El PET scan revela una zona hipermetabólica en curvatura menor del estómago, y la endoscopia evidencia una lesión sugerente de neoplasia maligna en fondo gástrico Borrmann I. Se decide realizar una excéresis tumoral por neurocirugía, cuyo estudio de anatomía patológica reveló adenocarcinoma metastásico a cerebro. Se le realiza una gastrectomía total D2, no se evidencian otras metástasis. La paciente evoluciona favorablemente en el postoperatorio. El estudio anatomopatológico revelo adenocarcinoma pobremente diferenciado. En Perú y en el mundo, aún no se han establecido recomendaciones estándar sobre cómo tratar a estos pacientes, aunque se sabe que la resección quirúrgica de metástasis cerebrales puede disminuir significativamente la morbilidad y prolongar la supervivencia en comparación con los enfoques no quirúrgicos. Hasta donde sabemos, es el primer reporte de este tipo que se presenta en el país.
Identifying Overused Lab Tests in Hospital Settings: A Delphi Study
Authors: CADTH  
Published: January 2023

Unnecessary lab testing may lead to inaccurate diagnoses, inappropriate treatment or further testing, and increased strain on our health care system, and can expose patients to potential harm.
To identify lab tests that could be considered by Choosing Wisely Canada’s Using Labs Wisely program, we convened a panel of experts that included physicians, medical laboratory professionals, patients, and decision-makers from across Canada. Our objective was to prioritize a list of high-volume laboratory tests that are often ordered unnecessarily in hospital settings.
Through a consensus-generating process, the expert panel prioritized 7 lab tests as candidates for reduction or elimination in hospital settings. These were 25-hydroxy vitamin D testing, vitamin B12 testing, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) testing, free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) testing, international normalized ratio (INR) testing, and amylase testing.
