Abstract
Purpose: Cancer prevention is an issue to address primarily. The evaluation of risk factors is what needs to be addressed in primary cancer prevention. It was aimed to determine the relationship between cancer awareness and behavioral styles of health sciences faculty students registered in a state university.
Method: The study sample consisted of 1204 students at the faculty of health sciences of a state university in Istanbul in the 2018-2019 fall semester. The Questionnaire Form and Miller Behavioral Style Scale (MBSS) were applied to the students. The data were evaluated using the SPSS package program in the computer environment.
Results: The students’ mean age was 20.74±2.603. It was determined that at least one relative of 32.2% of the students had cancer, grandfathers mostly had cancer, and lung cancer was the most common cancer. A statistically significant difference was found upon examining the knowledge of cancer risks and early diagnosis methods of the students with and without a family history of cancer (p≥0.05). There was a significant difference when statistically comparing the mean MBSS scores of the students with and without a family history of cancer (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Students with a family history of cancer were more knowledgeable about cancer risk factors and early diagnosis methods and applied early diagnosis methods such as mammography, clinical breast examination, and endoscopic examinations. Furthermore, the mean MBSS scores of students with a family history of cancer were higher than those without a family history of cancer.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
A novel control strategy for a single grid-connected PV system with power backup in different modes of operation, including constant load, changing atmospheric circumstances, and load variable conditions. The proposed controller works with a large nonlinear load under different modes of operation. The controller operates in such a way that, it can achieve different functions such as maintaining power flow between the photovoltaic (PV) module to the grid, maintaining UPF (unity power factor) at the point of common coupling(reactive power compensation), synchronizing a grid with PV (grid current harmonics compensation) and regulates the operation of battery(charging or discharging) for electric vehicle application. Implementing the proposed controller reduces the complexity of the active shunt filter at the point of common coupling (PCC). A maximum Power Point (MPPT) controller, optimized with perturb & observe (P&O)algorithm is used to get optimum power from the PV module. Thesimulation findings validate the operation of the suggested controlstrategy in a grid-connected PV system with a battery backup topology.

Abstract
Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R) injury is surgery and clinically important problem. It was showed that Ca+ 2 concentration increases into cell with I/R injury. TRPM channels have a role in determining the amount of Ca+ 2 concentration into cell. Thymoquinone (Tmq) which was isolated from Nigella Sativa, particularly has the beneficial effects such as antioxidant, anticancerogenic, antiinflamatuar. We aimed to investigate the antioxidant and histopathologic effect of thymoquinone in hepatic I/R rat model. In addition the other purpose of the our study was determination effects of thymoquinone on levels of TRPM gene expression. Fifty Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups. Group 1: Control; Group 2: Shame; Group 3: Hepatic I/R (45min/45min); Group 4: Tmq (50 mg/kg); Group 5: Tmq + I/R (ten days before from I/R at dose 50 mg/kg of Tmq by oral gavage.) Hepatic I/R (45min/45min) model was performed at the portal vein and the hepatic artery with atraumatic vascular a clamp in ischemia groups. The liver tissues and blood samples which were taken at the end of study were evaluated for histopathologic and biochemical analysis. Besides TRPM gene expression levels were determined in liver tissues. It was seen that cellular swelling, congestion, PNL and apoptosis parameters statistically decreased in Tmq and Tmq + I/R groups in comparision with I/R group in histopathological evaluation. It was obsorved that biochemical parameters, AST, ALT, GGT, LDH, creatinine and urea levels significantly increased in I/R group as compared with, shame, Tmq and Tmq + I/R groups. It was found that TRPM2,6,7,8 gene expression decreased significantly in Tmq + I/R groups as compared to I/R group. Based on our findings it was observed that application of Tmq in the treatment of liver diseases associated with I/R injury is important in terms of both ischemia and apoptosis and also using in the treatment of liver-related diseases. Additionally we showed that thymoquinone may inhibit Ca+ 2 entry into the cell by reducing TRPM2,6,7,8 gene expression. In conclusion this situation is brought to mind that cell injury related with I/R is reduced by Tmq.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this article, the impact of thermal radiation, heat source/sink, and thermal slip on the peristaltic flow of blood in an asymmetric channel will be discussed. A mathematical analysis has been done while a magnetic field is aligned. The coupled non-linear differential equations' solutions are then derived using the regular perturbation approach after the physical issue is first modelled. Approximations with low Reynolds numbers and long wavelength assumptions were used. Graphical representations are used to demonstrate and describe the physical properties of several embedded parameters, including the Hartmann number, radiation parameter, inclined magnetic field parameter, and heat source/sink parameter.

Long-term Burden of Higher Body Mass Index from Childhood and Adult Hypertension Are Linked Through Triglyceride-Glucose Index: A 30-year prospective cohort study
Authors: Liao Yue-yuan , Chu Chao , Man Zi-Yue , Wang Yang , Wang Dan , Ma Qiong , Chen Chen , Sun Yue , Mu Jian-Jun 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was regarded as a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). It is confirmed that IR was significantly associated with hypertension, and obesity was the risk factor for IR and hypertension. Mediation of the association between body mass index (BMI) and risk for hypertension through the TyG index seems plausible but has not been investigated.
Methods
The longitudinal study cohort consisted of 1,553 individuals (869 for male), who had been examined 4 or more times for BMI from childhood, with a follow-up period of 30 years. Total area under the curve (AUCt) and incremental AUC (AUCi) were calculated as the long-term burden and trend of BMI. The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dl) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl)/2].
Results
In multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models, BMI AUCt and BMI AUCi were significantly associated with the risk of adult hypertension, both without (RR = 1.30 for BMI AUCt; 1.31 for BMI AUCi) and with (RR = 1.25 for BMI AUCt; 1.26 for BMI AUCi) the inclusion of TyG index as a covariate. Importantly, mediation analysis showed that the TyG index mediated the BMI AUCt-SBP association (19.3%), the BMI AUCt-DBP association (22.7%), the BMI AUCi-SBP association (18.5%) and BMI AUCi-DBP association (21.3%). Furthermore, the TyG index showed significant mediation effects of 15.9% on the BMI AUCt-hypertension association and 14.9% on the BMI AUCi-hypertension association.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that the cumulative burden of BMI originating in childhood significantly increases the risk of hypertension in midlife, and the TyG index plays an important mediation role in this association. We emphasize that early weight management has the potential to reduce the burden of hypertension caused by insulin resistance.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Inertia is a measure of a power system's capability to counteract frequency disturbances: in conventional power networks, inertia is approximately constant over time, which contributes to network stability. However, as the share of renewable energy sources increases, the inertia associated to synchronous generators declines, which may pose a threat to the overall stability. Reliably estimating the inertia of power systems dominated by inverted-connected sources has therefore become of paramount importance. We develop a framework for the continuous estimation of the inertia in an electric power system, exploiting state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques. We perform an in-depth investigation based on power spectra analysis and input-output correlations to explain how the artificial neural network operates in this specific realm, thus shedding light on the input features necessary for proper neural-network training. We validate our approach on a heterogeneous power network comprising synchronous generators, static compensators and converter-interfaced generation: our results highlight how different devices are characterized by distinct spectral footprints, a feature that must be taken into account by transmission system operators when performing online network stability analyses.
Green aphid (Myzus persicae) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) microbiome diversity in the Taif governorate
Authors: Sharawi Somia E. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The green aphid (Myzus persicae) found in Taif governorate is a sap-sucking insect that is found globally. These insects target young leaves, vegetative and flower buds, flowers, and young fruits in both their nymphal and adult stages, causing them to discolor and dry out. They are some of the most destructive and economically significant insect pests globally.
In this study, we collected aphids of the genus M. persicae from different regions of the Taif governorate and analyzed their microbial compositions using an API-20E test strip. Five bacterial species were isolated from aphids (Bacillus spp.,Serratia spp., Staphylococcus, Micrococcus spp., and Escherichia coli). Our results showed a significant correlation between M. persicae and microbial communities. Future research should focus on understanding the eco-evolutionary patterns of aphid-symbiont interactions in the Taif Governorate, particularly in biological control.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Dynamically-tunable reflective structural colors are attractive for reflective displays (electronic paper). However, it has been challenging to tune a thin layer of structural color across the full red-green-blue (RGB) basis set of colors at video rates and with long-term stability. Here, this is achieved through a hybrid cavity built from metal-insulator-metal (MIM) ‘nano-caves’ and an electrochromic polymer (PProDOTMe2). The reflective colors are modulated by electrochemically doping/dedoping the polymer. Compared with traditional subpixel-based systems, this hybrid structure provides high reflectivity (> 40%) due to its ‘monopixel’ nature, and switches at video rates. The polymer bistability helps deliver ultralow power consumption (~ 2.5 mW cm− 2) for video display applications and negligible values (~ 3 µW cm− 2) for static images, compatible with fully-photovoltaic powering. In addition, the color uniformity of the hybrid material is excellent (over cm− 2) and the scalable fabrication enables large-area production.

Abstract
Purpose: Patients with Germ cell tumours (GCT) are at risk of long-term toxicities due to multimodality therapy. It is debatable whether there is an impact on the quality of life(QoL) of GCT survivors.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in India, using the EORTC QLQ C30 questionnaire, to compare the QoL between GCT survivors(disease free> 2 years) and healthy matched controls. A multivariate regression model was used to identify factors affecting QoL.
Results: A total of 55 cases and 100 controls were recruited. Cases had a median age of 32 years (interquartile range, IQR 28-40 years), ECOG PS of 0-1(75%), advanced stage III (58%), chemotherapy (94%) and 66% were >5 years from diagnosis. The median age of controls: 35 years (IQR 28-43 years). Statistically significant difference was seen for t emotional (85.8 14.2 vs 91.7 10.4, p 0.005), social(83.0 22.0 vs 95.2 9.6, p <0.001) and global scales (80.4 21.1 vs 91.3 9.7, p <0.001). Cases had more nausea and vomiting(3.3 7.4 vs 1.0 3.9, p 0.015), pain(13.913.9 vs 4.89.8, p<0.001), dyspnea(7.9 + 14.3 vs 2.7 9.1, p 0.007), and appetite loss(6.7 14.9 vs 1.9 7.9, p 0.016) and greater financial toxicity(31.5 32.3 vs 9.0 16.3, p <0.001). Adjusting for age, performance status, BMI, stage, chemotherapy, RPLND, recurrent disease, and time since diagnosis, no predictive variables were significant.
Conclusion: There is a detrimental impact of history of GCT in long term survivors of GCT.

Abstract
Purpose
It is extremely important to develop evidence-based strategies to protect the psychological health of caregivers, who are part of palliative care, to increase their quality of life and to facilitate their adaptation to the palliative care process. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of online mindfulness-based breathing therapy combined with music on the levels of perceived strain, caregiver burden and burnout in caregivers of palliative care patients.
Methods
This was a prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled study. The study complied with the guidelines of Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). A total of 100 caregivers were randomly assigned to intervention group (n = 50) mindfulness-based breathing therapy received with three sessions a week and control group (n = 50). This single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted at the palliative care unit of a private hospital, between May-November 2021.
Results
Personal information form, caregiver strain index (CSI), Zarit burden interview (ZBI) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were used for data collection. There were no adverse events, and we found statistical differences in groups in strain (p < 0.001), burden (p = 0.015) and burnout (p = 0.039) when comparing intervention and control groups. We found better results in intervention group, comparing pretest and post-test analyses (p < 0.05). In control group, we have no differences comparing pretest and post-test analyses (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
Mindfulness-based breathing therapy combined with music is a non-pharmacological approach that may reduce perceived strain, caregiver burden and burnout in caregivers. This trial found that mindfulness-based breathing therapy was an effective intervention to reduce perceived strain, caregiver burden and burnout in caregivers of palliative patients.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by changes in chronic abdominal pain and bowel habits, without any organic cause. Nickel is the most common contact allergen in the population. So, in our study, we aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between nickel sensitivity and IBS.
Methods: This study was conducted with 50 patients with irritable bowel syndrome who were followed up in the gastroenterology department of Derince Training and Research Hospital between March 2018 and July 2018, and 40 healthy people as a control group in a single center with a dermatology department. European standard contact allergen series nickel preparate and corticosteroid pomace were applied to the back region of the study subjects. The evaluation was performed at 48, 72 and 96 hours according to the scheme proposed by the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG). Those who reacted at 72 hours were considered to have nickel allergy.
Results: The female/male ratio was 24/26 and 18/22 in the patient and control groups, respectively. The mean ages of the patient and control groups were 42.82 (±10.66) and 39.78 (±11.21) years, respectively. Nickel sensitivity was present in 38% of the patient group and 17.5% of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0.03).
Conclusion: We believe that the presence of nickel sensitivity is important in the pathogenesis of IBS disease. In our study, nickel sensitivity was found to be quite high in IBS patients compared to the normal population.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Electrochemical reaction represents an essential action in fundamental chemistry that fosters wide applications. Although most electrochemical reactions involving bulk substances can be well described by the classical Marcus-Gerischer charge transfer theory, the realistic reaction character and mechanism in atomically confined systems remain unknown. Here, we report the multiparametric survey on the kinetics of lateral photooxidation in WS2 and MoS2 monolayers, where electrochemical reactions occur at the atomically thin flake edges, by quantitatively correlating its reaction rate with various crystallographic and environmental parameters, including density of lattice vacancies, humidity, temperature, and illumination fluence. In particular, we uncover an unusual non-Marcusian charge transfer mechanism in these spatially confined semiconductors due to limit in reactant supplies, where band bending played a crucial role and distinctive reaction barriers (1.4 versus 0.9 eV) are extracted from these analogous materials. These results add important knowledge into the fundamental electrochemical reaction theory.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in patients with breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Patients diagnosed with primary BC between 2010 and 2018 were identified through the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Standardized mortality rate (SMRs) for cardiovascular disease (CVD) were calculated to compare the CVM of BC patients with that of the general population. Multivariate competing risk models were performed to identify predictors of CVM in BC patients.
Results: Overall, 399,014 BC patients were included from the SEER database, of whom 7023 (1.8%) suffered death from CVD. The significantly higher overall SMR of CVM was observed in BC patients (SMR = 4.84, 95% CI: 4.72–4.95). Multivariate competing risk regression analysis revealed age, sex, race, American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, year of diagnosis, estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, BC subtype, surgery, and median household income as independent predictors of CVM in BC patients.
Conclusions: Compared to the general population, BC patients have a higher risk of experiencing CVM during the follow-up period after diagnosis. Early detection and intervention of cardiovascular risk factors will improve overall survival of BC patients.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
This paper deals with the optical observation and evaluation of the swelling of beech wood samples (Fagus sylvatica L.) during gaseous ammonia treatment. The pressure level was varied in several experiments from ambient pressure to almost saturated steam pressure at isothermal conditions at 20°C. The initial moisture content of the wood was oven-dried and also conditioned (65% RH/ 20°C). All experiments were carried out in a self-developed experimental set-up. It consisted of three parts: a pressure vessel with a glass pane at the top, a camera with additional lighting above it and an algorithm for the semi-automatic evaluation of the data. Parallel investigation of the maximum swelling in water of specimens of the same origin showed that ammonia leads to a higher swelling in tangential direction (up to 23%). The swell-inhibiting influence by the wood rays can be observed on the basis of the comparison to the water swelling in radial direction. Furthermore, the results visualise the change in crystal structure from cellulose I to ammonia-cellulose I.
Geodesigning A Game-Theory-Based Compromise Solution Approach in Determining the Cultivation Pattern

Abstract
In basin management, the contradiction between economic development in the basin and its environmental impact is clear. Similarly, in the Marvdasht-Kherameh sub-basin in Fars Province, Iran, there is a deep conflict between different stakeholders in environmental and conservation approaches. Fars province is one of the main agricultural centers of Iran. The agricultural activities of this region have been seriously affected due to the decrease in the amount of water recently. In addition, environmental problems have arisen due to excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the quality of the water has deteriorated. For this reason, determining the appropriate cultivation pattern for agricultural activities in different regions of this province is important in terms of protecting the environment and maintaining economic activity. This causes many stakeholders to seek a consensus-based solution to strike a balance between their respective and often conflicting goals so that agricultural activities can continue in the long term. Hence, a balance must be established between increasing the economic benefits and reducing the negative environmental impacts. One of the mathematical approaches that analyze such conflict situations is game theory. In this study, a suitable cultivation pattern for the Marvdasht-Kherameh basin was tried to be proposed by using game theory and Geospatial Information System approaches together.
