How well do international students adapt to the Turkish higher education system?
Authors: ARSLAN Kürşat , POLAT Mustafa 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Although several studies have been conducted on international students regarding different variables related to internationalization in higher education, the adaptation issues have been neglected or given little attention in general. This study, designed as descriptive cross-sectional research, explores the general adaptation levels of international students in relation to various variables frequently discussed in the related literature through the data obtained from 1266 participants from 58 countries at a state university with the highest number of international students in Türkiye.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Data collected through the General Adaptation Scale for International Students was analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients.
Findings: Findings reveal that more than half of the international students are at a fairly adapted level. While they achieved the highest mean scores in sociocultural adaptation, the lowest mean scores were in psychological adaptation. Analyses indicate that gender, scholarship, host language proficiency and international students' countries create significant differences in their adaptation levels. Also, there are significant low or moderate positive correlations among the sub-factors and general adaptation.
Highlights: Findings, discussion, and implications offer novel insights for higher education administrators, authorities, and policymakers to facilitate the adaptation process of international students at universities.

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to reveal the status of distance education at home during the COVID-19 pandemic by consulting students and parents.
Design/Methodology/Approach: “Case study model”, one of the qualitative research models, was used in the study. The study group consisted of 32 primary school students and 31 parents. Data were collected through interviews with parents and students. Content analysis was applied in the process of examining the student and parent interview recordings. The analysis of data was done using the NVivo qualitative analysis program.
Findings: The answers of students and parent were grouped under six main themes as; "Educational Process, Family Support, School, Roots of the Problems, School or Distance Education?, Request-Suggestion”.
Highlights: Distance learning devices and rooms are shared or used alternately when there is more than one student at home. It is understood that the responsibilities of parents on the education of their children have increased during the distance education process and this situation also puts a strain on the parents. During the distance education process it has been understood that problem in accessing (Education Information Network) EBA and disconnecting from EBA and Zoom during the lesson, not being able to enter the system due to the high number of users logged in at the same time, video and sound problems and lack of technological equipment.
An Investigation of Uncertainty Intolerance and Uncertainty Management Research in Educational Institutions: Meta-Analysis Study
Authors: VARLIK Savaş 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: In this meta-analysis study, it was aimed to analyze uncertainty intolerance and uncertainty management researches in educational institutions using meta-analysis method.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was carried out as a type of group comparison meta-analysis, which is one of the types of meta-analysis. In the meta-evaluation, eight studies that met the inclusion criteria were reached. By combining these studies, a study was conducted on 2704 sample groups. In determining the meta-analysis model type of the research, first a funnel plot diagram was drawn for a general impression of publication bias, and then statistical calculations were carried out to reach a real conclusion. As a result of the diagram and statistical calculations, it was decided that there was no publication bias in the studies included in the meta-analysis. After determining that there was no publication bias, heterogeneity test was performed for model selection.
Findings: As a result of the analysis, it was decided to interpret the meta-analysis according to the random effects model. Title and publication type were determined as moderators for heterogeneity. As a result of the meta-analysis, it was found that research into intolerance of uncertainty and uncertainty management in educational institutions had an average effect, the moderator effect of the theses was higher in the calculations regarding the moderator effect, and the titles of teachers and education administrators did not have any moderator effect in the title variable.
Highlights: It was seen that the number of empirical studies on uncertainty intolerance and uncertainty management in educational institutions was few. It was determined that the studies could not provide the big picture of uncertainty management, even the effect sizes of the studies were not calculated in any of the studies, and a statistical conclusion could not be reached on whether the teachers' intolerance of uncertainty and uncertainty management perceptions work in practice. Therefore, the need to synthesize results on the effectiveness of intolerance of uncertainty and uncertainty management research emerged.
Rehenes de la forma

El libro de Antonio Santos Tiempos de ninguna edad. Distopía y cine es la oportunidad para dialogar con la obra, sobre el género discursivo distópico y desde una perspectiva genealógica que nos retrotrae a sus orígenes literarios. Si para Juan Ignacio Ferreras la novela de ciencia-ficción es una ficción romántica que proyecta en un futuro hipotético las relaciones sociales vigentes en el momento de su escritura, otros dos conceptos de raigambre bajtiniana definen bien las especificidades ideológicas y formales del género. Así, la distopía recurre a una relación entre tiempo y espacio (cronotopo) que facilita la crítica sobre el presente a través de un futuro imaginado. A la vez, construye el espacio narrativo a través de una estilización que cuestiona las formas y las ideas de las que son portadoras. Sin embargo, a pesar de su distinta genealogía, la distopía mantiene algunas homologías con el género utópico, tendentes a configurar un pensamiento dogmático. Este dogmatismo se constata de una forma más intensa en su vertiente literaria, como géneros didácticos que son, que en sus derivaciones cinematográficas. No obstante, de alguna manera se inmiscuye en nuestro sentido común, tanto en la esfera pública como en la privada, aunque esta cuestión rebasa los límites de este trabajo.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus infection is one of the most common diseases diagnosed and treated in infectious disease hospitals around the world, with about 5% of the world’s population infected with this virus. In 2020, 21 cases of acute hepatitis B were registered in Romania and no case of perinatal transmission or chronic hepatitis B, the maximum incidence rate in women was among those aged between 45 and 54 years, and in men between 20 and 24 years.
This study is a retrospective on the response to antiviral treatment of children with hepatitis B, which is on the records of the Clinical Hospital for Infectious Diseases between 2010 and 2021. Although the treatment was good and the disease is practically non-clinical, ongoing biochemical and imaging monitoring is required to detect a possible increase in HBV-DNA levels, as well as to prevent liver damage and complications.
In the case of patients in our group, Entecavir had a beneficial effect, due to the fact that HBV-DNA became undetectable in 7 of the 9 patients, and the values of transaminases were within normal limits.
Statistical Analysis of Dermatological Condition in a Family Medicine Practice in South East Romania
Authors: Catana Emil 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Dermatological conditions are defined as the most common in all age groups. It is especially important to take into account the promptnes and correctness of the diagnosis and the administration of the treatment of choice. A large part of dermatological conditions, by theyr nature, can predispose the patient to low self-esteem with emotional imbalance and anxiety. Sometimes these can result in severe depression, rarely ending in suicide.
It is difficult to count the transposition time of dermatological infections until the appearance of symptoms, because each onset of dermatological disease varies, from days, month, years and therefore contact dermatitis, psoriasis, scabies, sunstroke, chronic radiodermatitis, onychomycosis, aerated alopecia, acne, rosacea acne, vitiligo as well as lesion of the connective tissue and subcutaneous cells, the latter largely duet o their idiopathic character.
The purpose of this study is the statical analysis of the cases of dermatological infections associated with medical care from a family medicine office in Lumina during the period 01.01.2022 – 31.09.2022.
The author illustrates the discrepancy between the representative increase in cases of dermatological conditions among the population and the expression of daily activity.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
For seed germination and the formation of a good soybean crop, significant reserves of soil moisture are required, which depends on the autumn-winter soil preparation, weather conditions and planting dates. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of the main tillage technology on its agrophysical properties and conditions for the growth and development of soybean plants. Experimental crop rotation: soybean – winter wheat was carried out under favourable (hydrothermal coefficient 1.46) and dry (hydrothermal coefficient 0.66–0.87) weather conditions. The main tillage was carried out with a stratifier PRSM-5 to a depth of 15–17 cm or a chisel plough PCh-2.5 to a depth of 25–27 cm, with additional pre-sowing or post-sowing rolling with a ring-spur roller KKSH. Sowing was carried out at a depth of 10 cm with stable heating of the soil in three periods: the first at 8–10 °С, the second at 10–12 °С, and the third at 12–14 °С. As a result of evaluating the influence of various factors, it was found that under favourable conditions, the highest seed productivity of soybean plants (1.91–1.96 t·ha−1) was formed after treatment with the stratifier PRSM-5 at the first sowing period and at the second sowing period after chisel ploughing with additional soil compaction. In dry weather conditions, pre-sowing treatment with a stratifier PRSM-5 had an advantage in seed productivity by 7–12% compared to ploughing with a chisel plough PCH-2.5.
Measuring Roof Coverings of Vernacular Architecture in Open-Air Museums. A Long-Term Approach for Sustainable Intervention Work
Authors: Cîmpeanu Andrei 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine how modern techniques of measurement and visual representation using ICT can aid in the assessment and preservation of wooden architectural landmarks in open-air (folk-life) museums. By developing a general understanding of vernacular architecture, experts can more effectively plan for maintenance and large-scale interventions to protect these structures. Specifically, the article focuses on the use of photogrammetry to assess and diagnose roof coverings, which are a crucial component of vernacular architecture. Roof coverings not only impact the aesthetic of a building but also play a significant role in its function. As they often reflect local customs and beliefs, they are essential to a community's cultural identity and sense of belonging. Measuring roof coverings in vernacular architecture sites can be challenging due to the availability of materials like thatch, clay tiles, or wooden shingles, and the negative impact that a degraded roof can have on the overall state of a building.
Fuzzy Networks for Modeling Shared Semantic Knowledge
Authors: Badie Farshad , Augusto Luis M. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Shared conceptualization, in the sense we take it here, is as recent a notion as the Semantic Web, but its relevance for a large variety of fields requires efficient methods of extraction and representation for both quantitative and qualitative data. This notion is particularly relevant for the investigation into, and construction of, semantic structures such as knowledge bases and taxonomies, but given the required large, often inaccurate, corpora available for search we can get only approximations. We see fuzzy description logic as an adequate medium for the representation of human semantic knowledge and propose a means to couple it with fuzzy semantic networks via the propositional Łukasiewicz fuzzy logic such that these suffice for decidability for queries over a semantic-knowledge base such as “to what degree of sharedness does it entail the instantiation C(a) for some concept C” or “what are the roles R that connect the individuals a and b to degree of sharedness ε.”
Linguistic Discrimination as a Social, Legal and Human Rights Phenomenon
Authors: Fiala-Butora János 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article explores the difference between equality and the absence of discrimination within the area of language use. It draws on examples of social practices of linguistic inequality in Slovakia, and analyses how these are regulated by Slovak law, international law and laws of countries of best practices. The article argues that these examples represent three different models of linguistic equality: formal equality, equality of opportunities and substantive linguistic equality. It will analyse how these approaches empower or disadvantage speakers of minority languages, and what normative guide they provide for linguistic equality.
Discriminatory Instrumentalisation of Language
Authors: Rusinková Jaroslava 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The paper focuses on the description of language used as a tool of discrimination. We understand discrimination as a relationship between two subjects when ontological and axiological certainty is violated. In this sense discriminatory instrumentalisation of language is released at the level of harmful discrimination, unequal treatment and disadvantage. Language use plays a major role in creating a discourse which establishes certain ways of thinking and speaking. The research material is based on conversation about the advertisement for Absolut vodka. The conversation was held on Facebook.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Childhood obesity affects multiple organs in the body and is associated with both significant morbidity and ultimately premature mortality. Childhood obesity, especially dyslipidemia, can lead to early atherosclerosis and premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adulthood. The detection of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath offers the opportunity for the discovery of novel disease-specific biomarkers. This study aimed to identify VOCs that correlate with childhood obesity accompanied by dyslipidemia.

Methods
A total of 82 overweight or obese children between the ages of 8 and 12 years were recruited from the exercise on obesity adolescents in Peking (EXCITING) study (NCT04984005). The breath VOCs of the participants were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The classification was performed using principal component analysis (PCA) of the relative abundance of VOCs. The difference between the obese and overweight groups with or without dyslipidemia was analyzed.

Results
Among the 82 children, 25 were overweight, of whom 10 had dyslipidemia. The other 57 children were obese, and 17 of them had dyslipidemia. Obese children with dyslipidemia had higher triglycerides and elevated non–high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol compared to overweight children without dyslipidemia. We confirmed 13 compounds based on database well matches (average score > 80) for mass spectra and refractive index. These 13 VOCs were grouped into three chemical functional groups: saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and unsaturated aldehydes. For obese children with dyslipidemia, the PCA scatter plot of the three chemical groups was obviously separated from the other groups. Some of the candidates, including heptadecane, naphthalene, and cis-6-nonnenol, were significantly higher in obese children with dyslipidemia than in overweight groups with or without dyslipidemia.

Conclusion
A suite of VOCs from three chemical function groups, saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and unsaturated aldehydes, were separated in the obese children with dyslipidemia. Heptadecane, naphthalene, and cis-6-nonenol were significantly elevated in obese children with dyslipidemia. Our findings underscore the potential value of the candidate VOCs for future risk categorization.

Published: March 2023

Bu çalışmada, farklı oranlarda (%0-%20 ve %40) kompost içeren ortamlara bakteri ve mikoriza uygulamalarının etkileri araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada lale soğanları, 0,3 absorbans (Abs) değerine sahip bakteri süspansiyonlarına 30 dakika ve 5000 ppm mikoriza süspansiyonuna 10 saniye daldırıldıktan sonra 20 cm derinliğinde × 40 cm genişliğinde × 60 cm uzunluğundaki plastik kasalara dikilmiştir. Yetiştiricilik sonunda hasat edilen lale petallerindeki toplam fenol (µg GAE/g fw), TEAC (µmol TE/g fw) ve toplam flavonoid (mg KE/L fw) içerikleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonunda, sadece kompost uygulamaları kıyaslandığında, %40 oranında kompost uygulanan ortamlardan alınan lale petallerinde en yüksek TP (28682,63 µg GAE/g fw) ve Total Flavonoid (1011,96 mg KE/L fw) ölçülürken, kompost içermeyen ortamlarda (%0) ise en yüksek TEAC (9.46 µmol TE/g fw) değeri ölçülmüştür. Bakteri ve mikoriza uygulamalarında ise, mikroorganizma uygulaması yapılmayan ortamlar, uygulama yapılan ortamlara kıyasla daha iyi sonuçlar vermiştir. Farklı kompost oranları ile bakteri uygulamalarının kombinesi sonucunda, en yüksek TP (28833,42 µg GAE/g fw) ve Total Flavonoid (1014,07 mg KE/L fw) içerikleri %40 kompost uygulaması ve bakteri uygulaması yapılan ortamlardan alınan petallerde ölçülürken, en yüksek TEAC (9,80 µmol TE/g fw) %40 oranında kompost içeren ve bakteri bulunmayan ortamlardan alınan petallerde ölçülmüştür. Farklı kompost oranları ile mikoriza uygulamalarının etkileri kıyaslandığında, %40 kompost oranı ve mikoriza uygulamasının bulunmadığı ortamlarda en yüksek TP (29944,53 µg GAE/g fw), TEAC (10,13 µmol TE/g fw) ve Total Flavonoid (1083,52 mg KE/L fw) değerleri saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, kompost oranları arttıkça değerlerde artışların gerçekleştiği, mikroorganizmaların ise fitokimyasal içeriklerinde etkili olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
