Cinsiyet, iç bütünlük ve fiziksel etkinliğin olumlu ve olumsuz duygu durumu üzerindeki etkisi.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The present study investigated the role of gender, sense of coherence and total physical activity in positive and negative affect. The participants were 376 (169 female, 206 male, and 1 missing value) volunteered students from different faculties of Middle East Technical University. Three questionnaires, namely, Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ), and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered to the students together with the demographic information sheet. Two separate stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the predictive power of gender (coded as dummy variable), sense of coherence and total physical activity on positive and negative affect scores. Results revealed that, sense of coherence and total physical activity predicted the positive affect whereas sense of coherence predicted the negative affect of university students. Findings are discussed in the light of sense of coherence, physical activity and positive and negative affect literature.
Induction of bradykinin B1 receptors in vivo in a model of ultra-violet irradiation-induced thermal hyperalgesia in the rat.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

1. The role of bradykinin B1 receptors in the thermal hyperalgesia following unilateral ultra-violet (u.v.) irradiation of the hindpaw of rats has been investigated. 2. In non-irradiated (naive) animals the B1 receptor agonist des-Arg9-bradykinin and bradykinin (BK) (up to 1 mumol kg-1 i.v.) had no effect on withdrawal latency to a noxious heat stimulus when administered 60 min before testing. 3. Following exposure of one hindpaw to strong u.v. irradiation the withdrawal latency of the u.v.-treated paw to radiant noxious heat fell by a maximum of 50% after 48 h. There was no reduction in latency in the contralateral paw. 4. des-Arg9-BK (1-100 nmol kg-1 i.v.) administered 24 h after u.v. exposure caused a further dose-dependent fall (50 +/- 4% reduction from saline injected animals at 100 nmol kg-1 i.v.) in withdrawal latency in the u.v.-treated paw when measured 60 min after injection. The withdrawal latency of the contralateral paw was also reduced but to a lesser extent following des-Arg9-BK (100 nmol kg-1 i.v.) with a maximum reduction of 19 +/- 3%. 5. Bradykinin also induced a further reduction in withdrawal latency (33 +/- 5% reduction at 1 mumol kg-1) although it was not as effective as des-Arg9-BK. Bradykinin did not reduce the withdrawal latency in the contralateral paw.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
A Physical Proof for Five and Only Five Regular Solids

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Physical models are invaluable aids for conveying concepts in geometry, particularly concepts about polyhedra. In this paper physical polygons, polygon corners, polygon flat regions, polygon cylinders, polygon nets and polyhedra are all used to show a physical proof that there are five, and only five regular solids. Students from grade school, high school, undergraduate and graduate levels have been presented with this physical proof, and all of them have taken away something worthwhile related to their existing level of knowledge.
Vibrations in violins with tuned fingerboards: A case study of instrument feedback

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

All traditional musical instruments vibrate more or less during playing. These vibrations serve as a silent feedback from the instrument to the musician, and the feedback is likely to be an important component of the instrument response. Work has been done to study if an enhanced vibration level in the violin is perceived as favorable by the musician, and if such a change results in a change in playing. The vibration level in the instrument was varied by tuning a fingerboard resonance in relation to the Helmholtz’s resonance (A0). The level was measured prior to and after the tuning of the fingerboard, using two ‘‘types’’ of violinists; a PC-controlled bowing machine and professional violin players, respectively. The quality of the instrument as judged by the musicians with and without tuned fingerboard, respectively, gives an estimation of the degree of feedback from instrument to player.

Design of a Capacitive Power Transfer System with Tolerance of Large Coupling Variations

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a new design methodology for capacitive power transfer (CPT) systems aimed at enhancing insensitivity to coupling variations. The designed CPT system maintains quasi-constant output power regardless of large coupling variations caused by misalignment. Its compensation network is designed to generate a constant current source. Design equations are derived for determining circuit parameters. The conditions and allowable range of the coupling variations are specified. Simulations and experimental results have demonstrated the validity of the proposed design method. A prototype CPT system has been built, capable of delivering up to 10W output power, with coupling changing from good alignment to 70mm longitudinal deviation.
Effects of temperature and foam layer thickness on collard greens powder production by foam mat drying

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Collard green is a perishable vegetable that is widely recognized for its health benefits. In this study, foam mat drying was applied to produce powdered food. The influence of Emustab® concentration on foam properties and effects of drying temperature (50–90°C) and foam layer thickness (0.5–1.5 cm) on drying kinetics, physical and bulk properties, and flowability of the powders were investigated. Response surface methodology was used to evaluate drying conditions regarding the final moisture content, hue angle, and SEC, and the desirability function was employed to optimize responses simultaneously. Shorter drying times were obtained using higher temperatures and lower foam thickness. The Midilli model best fitted the experimental data of drying with R2 = .998, RMSE = 0.020 and χ2 = 0.002. Regardless of condition, powders presented low densities, good rehydration, and flowability from poor to passable. The optimal condition was T = 72.7°C and e = 1.5 cm (D = 0.745), indicating that foam mat drying yields good quality powders with energy savings. Practical applications Collard green is a leafy vegetable widely consumed in its fresh form, but it has a high potential for use by the food industry. Thus, this study contributes not only to the wide dissemination of knowledge about foam mat drying technique but also to the increase in the collard green consumption, due to the possibility of incorporation of the powder into different food formulations (pastas, breads, juices, etc.). The industrialization of this material can also contribute to its full use (steams are commonly discarded), reducing food waste that has been considered a problem worldwide. Therefore, the results of this study have an economic impact (full use of the food and the possibility of incorporating it into new formulations), social (increase in the producer's revenue linked to the higher added value of the food), and environmental (optimization of the process considering the reduction in consumption energy and release of CO2 to the environment).
On the Role of Envy in the Technostress Process in the Context of Social Media Use

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Envy and stress are two terms, which are usually associated with the “dark side of technology”. However, both concepts also contain a “bright” side, benign envy and eustress, which are associated with an individual’s well-being. This work uncovers the relationship between envy and technostress in the context of social media use. The study is based on a sequential mixed-methods research design including qualitative interviews and a subsequent quantitative online survey. The results reveal that while benign envy is associated with the appraisal of social media as challenge stressors, malicious envy is related to the appraisal of social media as hindrance stressors. Challenge stressors lead to challenge coping responses inducing perceived eustress. Hindrance stressors result in hindrance coping responses inducing distress. Therefore, envy is found to be a significant determinant and cause for whether eustress or distress is perceived when using social media.

Beyond genotype to phenotype: why the phenotype of an individual cannot always be predicted from their genome sequence and the environment that they experience

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

One promise of personalized medicine is that it will be possible to make useful predictions about the phenotypes of individuals from their complete genome sequences (e.g. concerning their susceptibility to disease). However, to what extent is knowledge about an individual's genotype, together with information about the environment that they have experienced, sufficient to predict phenotypic variation? In the present review, we argue that, although the ‘typical’ phenotypic outcome of an individual's genome can be predicted, it is much more difficult to predict the actual outcome for a particular individual. We highlight three reasons for this. First, the outcome of mutations can be influenced by random (stochastic) processes. Second, genetic variation present in one generation can influence phenotypic traits in the next generation, even if individuals do not inherit this variation. Third, the environment experienced by one generation can influence phenotypic variation in the next generation. These contributions to phenotypic variation have long been appreciated by quantitative geneticists, although they have only recently been studied at the molecular level. Taken together, they mean that, in many cases, the genotypes of individuals and the environment that they experience may not be sufficient to determine their phenotypes. A more comprehensive genotype‐to‐phenotype model will be required to make accurate predictions about the biology of individuals.
A Survey on E-Voting System using Blockchain Technology

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In an era marked by technological advancement, the demand for secure and transparent electronic voting systems has surged. This paper advocates for the integration of blockchain technology to construct an immutable and trustworthy online e-voting system. Leveraging blockchain's decentralized architecture and the capabilities of platforms like Ethereum with its Turing-complete programming language and smart contracts, this proposal addresses concerns surrounding traditional offline voting mechanisms, including transparency and fraud. The paper underscores the necessity for collaborative efforts between governments and security experts to establish robust security standards in the development of error-resistant e-voting systems. Additionally, it acknowledges the ongoing efforts of organizations like Follow My Vote, Polys, Agora, Polyaz, Voatz, and Luxoft in providing secure blockchain-based e-voting solutions. While acknowledging the potential benefits of online voting, such as cost-efficiency and enhanced voter turnout, the paper acknowledges challenges, including issues of receipt-freeness, coercion resistance, scalability, maturity, and public acceptance, which require further consideration to realize the full potential of blockchain-based e-voting systems in bolstering the future of democracy.
Modularity in teacher professional development – building blocks for bridging everyday teaching practices and reform ideals centered around whole tasks

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

<p>Many reforms in past decades have come and gone without having the desired impact on teaching practices. Two shared ideals that reforms have had are offering challenging content by using whole tasks and tailoring student guidance to what students need for effective learning. In this article, we aim to bridge the reform-practice gap by taking a practicality perspective on how reform ideals are presented by exploring the concept of modularity. In this study modularity refers to how teachers can rearrange and adapt lesson-building blocks (e.g. explanation, checking homework or using a whole task) to change their teaching practices in line with reform ideals. We performed an explorative study (school-based PD programme) in which participants designed, enacted and reflected on authentic lessons using their student learning outcomes as input for subsequent lesson designs. Data were gathered about the use of building blocks and how teaching practices were developed in terms of using whole tasks and tailoring student guidance. Results show that participants made ongoing stepwise changes by building on what they already did successfully for both using whole tasks (e.g. change a task to recall into a whole task and shifting it to the lesson start) and tailoring student guidance.</p>
An improved wedge interlock system for the EMI CT 5005 whole-body scanner

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Whole-body X-ray scanners currently available utilise detectors with sufficient dynamic range to obviate the need for field wedges, or else incorporate built-in wedges with remote selection and automatic wedge change facility. However, the EMI CT 5005 machine, still the most commonly used body scanner within the United Kingdom, requires manual installation of the selected set of wedges corresponding to 240, 320 or 400 mm field diameter.
Skin Prick Test Sensitivity and its Association with Pulmonary Function Tests in Asthmatic Patients in Tokat Region

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of skin prick tests (SPT) and the relationship of SPT results with age, gender and pulmonary function tests (PFT) in patients followed up with asthma in the chest diseases department of our hospital. Materials and Methods: Age, gender, SPT and PFT of 209 patients with asthma followed up in our department during 2003-2005 were collected from the records retrospectively. Results: Among these patients, 165 (78.9%) were female. Mean age of the patients was 45.9 ± 0.9. SPT were positive in 93 (44.5%) cases. The most frequent sensitizing allergen was detected to be house dust mite with the frequency of 58.1% of the cases (n= 54). Among the other allergens, pollens were positive in 49.5% of the patients (n= 46), moulds mixture in 18.3% (n= 17), dog dander in 11.8% (n= 11), cat dander in 8.6% (n= 8) and cockroach in 6.6% (n= 6). Mean age of the cases with positive SPT was significantly lower than that of the negative ones (p< 0.002). There was no significant gender difference between the groups (p= 0.064). Although FEV1/FVC ratios were not different between SPT positive or negative groups (p= 0.38), FEV1 values in mL (p= 0.001) as well as the reversibility values in mL and as percentages (p= 0.001 and p= 0.007, respectively) were significantly higher in the SPT positive group. Conclusion: In conclusion, SPT were positive in 44.5% of the patients with asthma in Tokat region. The most frequent two allergens detected were house dust mite and pollens. Having atopy was found to be associated with better PFT and higher reversibility in patients with asthma.
Moderate hyperglycemia worsens acute blood-brain barrier injury after forebrain ischemia in rats.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Clinical and experimental data indicate that hyperglycemia can aggravate the consequences of stroke and cerebral ischemia. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of moderate hyperglycemia on the response of the blood-brain barrier to normothermic (37 degrees C) and hypothermic (30 degrees C) global forebrain ischemia. Sixteen rats underwent 20 minutes of four-vessel occlusion followed by 30 minutes of postischemic recirculation. We used the protein tracer horseradish peroxidase as an indicator of increased vascular permeability, and rats were perfusion-fixed for microscopic analysis. To produce moderate hyperglycemia, we gave an intraperitoneal injection of 50% dextrose 15 minutes before the ischemic insult. After normothermic brain ischemia, normoglycemic rats (plasma glucose level, 115 +/- 3 mg/dl) demonstrated extravasated horseradish peroxidase mainly restricted to the cerebral cortex. In contrast, more severe and widespread protein extravasation was documented throughout the neuraxis of hyperglycemic (plasma glucose level, 342 +/- 27) rats. Sites of protein leakage included the cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, thalamus, and cerebellum. Foci of protein extravasation were associated with pial and large penetrating vessels. Intraischemic hypothermia significantly attenuated the blood-brain barrier consequences of hyperglycemic brain ischemia. Under normothermic ischemic conditions, hyperglycemia significantly worsens the degree of acute blood-brain barrier breakdown compared with normoglycemia. Postischemic blood-brain barrier disruption may play an important role in the pathogenesis of increased brain damage associated with systemic hyperglycemia.

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective To evaluate the use of String of Pearls (SOP) locking plates in thoracolumbar vertebral fractures and luxations in dogs and cats. Study design Retrospective case series study. Methods Clinical records of dogs and cats with thoracic and lumbar fractures treated in four veterinary surgical facilities were reviewed. Results A total of 26 dogs and 2 cats were included. Median weight of dogs at surgery was 12.1 kg (range: 2.7–37.2 kg) and the median weight of cats was 6.0 kg (range: 3.0–8.9 kg). Deep pain perception was negative in 25% (7/28) of animals at presentation, and 85.7% (6/7) regained deep pain sensation at discharge. Neurological status at discharge (p < 0.05) was significantly improved compared to neurological status at presentation. Complications were observed in 28.6% (8/28) of cases. Catastrophic and major complication rates were both 3.6% (1/28). Conclusion In the reported cohort of 28 dogs and cats, SOP locking plates successfully stabilized traumatic thoracic and lumbar fractures or luxations, and the rate of complications was similar to those reported using other fixation methods.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

VLSI layout generation of a programmable CRC chip with a CRC of 16-bits is presented. The hardware of CRC generator is specified in a hardware description language (HDL). The hardware compiler and functional level simulator of HDL are used for logic synthesis. The second stage of the compilation process generates a net list of logic gates. The net list so produced is translated to RNL compatible net list by a translator program. The layout subsystem of VPNR is used to generate the VLSI layout of the programmable CRC chip from RNL netlist. The design rules and technology files of MOSIS are used. The layout is viewed in the MAGIC layout editor and simulated by irsim at the transistor-level. The CRC chip can be used in a number of applications. These include areas such as data communications for error detection and correction, digital system testing for test pattern generation and signature analysis, and mass storage devices for parallel information transfers.< >
Optimization on Safety Thickness of Roof for Mining Based on Genetic Algorithm

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

According to optimization on safety thickness of roof for underground mining, which is a complex problem affected by multiple factors. On the basis of Genetic Algorithm (GA), each influencing factor on safety thickness of roof is considered as different gene and used to express individual composition factor of population. Therefore, each arbitrary group composed by different influencing factors can be used as a population. Then, by constructing objective function, designing optimization variables and determining constraint condition, the mathematical model of optimization on safety thickness of roof can be constructed. By using the Evolver software, which is based on the thought of GA, the optimization on safety thickness of roof for stopping the orebody No.92, under the overlap zones in Tongkeng Mine, is studied. The optimized results show that more conformable and accurate of the safety thickness of roof compared with the results obtained by numerical simulation and mathematical prediction.

Exercise Effects on Health-Related Physical Fitness of Individuals with an Intellectual Disability: A Meta-Analysis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effects of exercise on health-related physical fitness of individuals with an intellectual disability. The data came from 21 individual studies yielding 100 effect sizes (ESs). Large effects were demonstrated for muscular and cardiovascular endurance, moderate for muscular strength, and small for flexibility. No significant effects were found for body composition. Document source and program length influenced muscular and cardiovascular endurance outcomes, as published studies and longer programs produced larger ESs. In addition, program type influenced muscular strength (resistance programs produced larger ESs than combined programs), and program frequency influenced flexibility (higher frequency programs had larger ESs than lower frequency programs). It was concluded that additional research is needed to investigate means to improve body composition, flexibility, and muscular strength. Future studies should upgrade their standards for reporting appropriate statistical information and information related to sample and exercise prescription components.
