Published: September 2023

Aim: Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-SWT) is one of the recommended treatment options in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Li-SWT is safe in patients using antiplatelet drugs (APs), however, there are no specific studies on the contribution of APs use to clinical improvement in erectile function. We aimed to evaluate the early clinical results of Li-SWT administration and whether the use of APs had an additional positive contribution to clinical improvement and safe in ED patients.
Methods: Patients with ED for more than 6 months despite using (5 mg/day) PDE5i were included in our study. Patients treated with Li-SWT and using PDE5i were classified as Group 1, patients treated with Li-SWT and using APs and using PDE5i were considered Group 2. The evaluation results of the International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function Area(IIEF-EF) in all patients baseline and after treatment were examined.
Results: There are 25 patients in each group. Analysis of IIEF-EF scores showed significant increases in both groups after treatment [group 1 (p=0.001); group 2 (p=0.001)]. When the IIEF-EF scores of the groups before and after the treatment were compared with each other; it was shown that baseline scores were similar(p=0.746) and that APs use had no statistically significant effect on post-treatment scores (p=0.613) No side effects were seen in APs.
Conclusions: This study showed that penile Li-SWT significantly increases the IIEF-EF scores and response of (5 mg/day) PDE5i in ED patients and safe, also in AP users. However, Using AP in Li- SWT does not contribute positively to clinical results.

Authors: ESME Hıdır , ERDİRİL Yunus Emre 
Published: September 2023

Aim: Treatment of malignant pleural effusions is drainage and chemical pleurodesis. Our aim in this study is to investigate the success and complications of the procedure in patients who underwent drainage with an 8F pleural drainage catheter due to malignant pleural effusion, in the light of the literature.
Material and Method: The study included 124 patients who underwent 8F pleural drainage catheter (Easydren®) for malignant pleural effusion between August 2020 and October 2022. Clinical, radiological and laboratory findings of all patients were obtained from the automation system and archive files. Age, gender, etiology, number and duration of catheter drainage, complications and hospital stay of the patients were recorded.
Results: Of the patients, 67 (54.0%) were female and 57 (45.9%) were male. The mean age was 54 (31-87). A total of 136 pleural drainage catheters were applied to 124 patients. Drainage and complete reexpansion of the lung were successful in 125 (91.9%) of 136 procedures. No acute surgical complications were observed during the application of pleural drainage catheters. The mean drainage time was 4.6 days (3 – 11). The hospital stay was 5.7 days (4-12).
Conclusion: We believe that small diameter pleural drainage catheters are as effective as conventional chest tubes for the drainage of malignant pleural effusion with greater patient comfort. Although it has the disadvantage of rarely occlusion during follow-up, it is less invasive and has fewer complications compared to tube thoracostomy.

Aim: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that can cause respiratory, physical, psycho-logical, and generalized systemic dysfunction. COVID-19 can significantly impact the respiratory system. Pulmo-nary rehabilitation may be required for the appropriate person and at the appropriate time.
Methods: The study included 112 outpatients who were admitted to the Pulmonary Diseases and Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Polyclinics after being diagnosed with COVID-19 between January 2021 and June 2021. The demographic data of the patients, their smoking behavior and duration, the Modified Charlson Comorbidity Index, clinical characteristics of the disease, the Modified Borg Scale were all assessed. The presence of information on respiratory exercises, the source of this information, and their compliance with the exercises were all evaluated.
Results: Of the patients, 30 (26,8%) of them reported that they have information on respiratory exercises. Only 11 (36,7%)’i of these patients were doing the respiratory exercises regularly. In the study, the history of hospital¬ization and high level of education were found positive correlated with the presence of information on pulmonary rehabilitation (p=0.001). Compliance with exercises was found low.
Conclusions: In the study, the history of hospitalization and high level of education were found to correlate with the presence of knowledge on pulmonary rehabilitation. Exercise compliance was found to be low. The number of awareness-raising activities for these patients and healthcare professionals should be increased to reduce their morbidity, mortality, and health expenditure.

Authors: Jeong Seung-Hoon , Chung Ji-Young 
Published: September 2023

Since flipped learning (FL) is a popular approach in a worldwide university classroom, expanding the scope with diverse disciplines and student populations is necessary. This study examines Korean pre-service teachers' evaluations and satisfaction with flipped learning for physical education courses. The data was collected in 2022 fall, including the course exit survey (n=103) and focus-group interviews (n=8). The results are as follows. Firstly, FL provides a convenient and adaptable learning environment for PSTs, allowing them to access course materials conveniently. Secondly, the FL format is beneficial for PSTs in developing their self-directed learning skills, as they review course materials before attending face-to-face classes. As a result, PSTs reported feeling more prepared for in-class assignments. Thirdly, PSTs praised the FL instructor as a competent educator who effectively communicated the course content in a well-organized manner. However, PSTs preferred immediate instructor feedback during focus-group discussions during face-to-face or synchronous Zoom lectures. Lastly, various recommendations were discussed for successfully implementing FL in higher education physical education courses.

Published: September 2023

The phenomenon of auditors transitioning to Public Accounting Firms (KAP) or other professions has resulted in a decline in both auditor performance and the overall functioning of KAP. Therefore, this study empirically examines the predictive capabilities of role dynamics theory within the framework of planned behavior theory on mentoring behavior and its potential to prevent auditors from transitioning to KAP or other professions. The study design used explanatory causality and the data were collected through survey using a questionnaire, with primary data as the source. The sample included 191 auditors at various levels, namely managerial, partner auditors, senior auditors, and staff members, within KAP. Furthermore, a proportional random sampling method was used, and structural equation modeling [SEM] was employed for data analysis. The individual auditor served as the analytical unit, while time horizon was considered as the cross section. The results showed the mentor's position positively impacted the level and mentoring function of protégé organization, and the degree of the organization positively influenced the status of the mentor. Meanwhile, the mentor's level and mentoring function negatively impacted turnover intention, and organizational structure enhanced the connection between protégé organizational level and the mentoring role. The results indicated that both the position and function of mentoring can enhance the retention of protégé of staff, and the less structured office environment can strengthen mentoring activities within the KAP.

Published: September 2023

Field experience is fundamental to preparing pre-service teachers (PSTs) for in-service teacher roles. Although many studies have explored the impact of field experience, few have examined PSTs' comprehensive experience for field practicum. This study explored Korean PSTs' experience regarding expectations, satisfaction, and evaluations through field experiences. The data was collected from a teacher education program in Korea in the 2022 academic year. The survey was conducted after the field experience (n=44). Study results showed that the PSTs reported various expectations for field experience. For example, PSTs responded that they want to meet an exemplary teacher who can serve as a role model and hope to receive help when they have any difficult problems related to field experience. Second, PSTs had high satisfaction after the field experience. They also responded that the contents (theory, method) learned from the university coursework were very helpful for their field experience. Third, PSTs responded with high ratings for the effectiveness of the field experience. Finally, PSTs reported improving their teaching ability (guide plan, teaching method, progress, teaching tools) and gaining teaching confidence. Several suggestions are provided to build an effective field experience practicum in the teacher education program.

Declining United States Leadership and the Future of International Political System
Authors: Jacob James Nda , Momoh Zekeri 
Published: September 2023

Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been a major player in promoting international peace and security. Today the declining US leadership has raised some questions such as: What are the factors that led to the decline of US leadership internationally? How did the US react to its dwindling leadership role? Are the current US strategies for regaining leadership in international politics effective? Therefore, this study seeks to answer the following research questions: Is declining US leadership a potential threat to international peace and security? How effective are the current US strategies in regaining leadership in international politics? The long cycle theory was used in this study. The study also relied on secondary data such as textbooks, magazines and internet sources, while content analysis was used to analyze the data collected. This study argues that the declining US leadership role poses a potential threat to the future of the international system, as no state like no other is willing to provide the financial and other resources necessary to meet global challenges for years to come, compared to the US's overall commitment to promoting international peace and security. Finally, this study regards the current US approaches as ineffective and therefore advocates new approaches.
