The Anesthesiologist
Full text linkBefore the morning fog has cleared,
Before the rounds or gowns appeared,
He stands beneath fluorescent beams,
Awake within unfolding dreams.
The list is posted—case by case,
The names, the times, the room, the face.
A hip repair, a C-section,
A child with blocked conduction
Saving Global Forests from the Changing Climate
Full text linkThe world’s forests stand at the frontlines of climate change—both as victims and as vital allies. These ancient ecosystems absorb carbon dioxide, shelter millions of species, and sustain countless human communities. Yet, they are now burning, drying, and disappearing faster than ever under rising temperatures, shifting rainfall, and unrelenting deforestation. Saving global forests requires more than conservation slogans; it demands urgent global cooperation, equitable funding for forest nations, and recognition that forests are not just resources but living systems critical for human survival. Nations must reimagine their economies to value standing trees as much as extracted minerals, and consumers must recognize the true cost of every product that fuels deforestation. The fate of forests is intertwined with our own. To save them from the changing climate is to save the balance of life itself—because without forests, the Earth cannot breathe, and neither can we
Development of An Achievement Test on Organic Substances Within the Scope of the 9th-Grade Biology Course
Full text linkThis study aims to develop a valid and reliable achievement test in accordance with the content framework of the 9th-grade Biology Course Curriculum published within the scope of the Turkish Century Maarif Model on the subject of “Organic Matter”. The screening method was used for this purpose. The sample of the study consists of 258 9th-grade students studying in two state schools located in the eastern part of Turkey. While creating the test, the following steps were followed: determining the purpose and scope of the test, literature review, writing and arranging the items, performing the preliminary application and analyzing the items, and finally creating the test. Initially, a draft test consisting of 60 questions was prepared. However, as a result of the item analyses, some items were eliminated in order to increase the validity and reliability of the test. At the end of this process, a 40-question achievement test that better reflects the scope of the curriculum and has high content validity was created. As a result, the achievement test, which consists of a total of 40 questions covering the curriculum content framework with an average difficulty of 0.33, an average discrimination index of 0.32 and a KR-20 reliability coefficient of 0.84, has taken its final form
Out-of-School Learning Environments: Expanding Classroom Boundaries and Diversifying Learning Practices
Full text linkIn traditional in-school learning environments, educational activities are often constrained by factors like the fixed school schedule, unchanged teaching space, and established curriculum arrangements. While the classroom serves as the primary formal learning environment for knowledge acquisition, in-class teaching alone is far from adequate for cultivating diverse competences in students, particularly practical skills, interdisciplinary ability, and social adaptability. In contrast, out-of-school learning environments (OSLEs), such as natural environments, science and cultural venues, and virtual learning platforms, have the potential to create a wider variety of learning opportunities by transcending the physical and institutional boundaries of the school
Reducing Academic Burdens While Enhancing Student Outcomes: The Role of Homework Management in the Era of Digital Education
Full text linkThroughout the history of education, educationists have conceptualized “homework” in various ways. it was described as an intellectual activity for knowledge consolidation by comenius, a method for shaping students by herbart, a range of specialized play activities for children by froebel, an intermediary connecting freedom and discipline by montessori, and an essential component of teaching by kairov. the significance of homework also varied in different times. pestalozzi emphasized the role of assignments that suited students’ mental characteristics in developing their intellectual skills; kerschensteiner and dewey underscored the social value of homework and advocated diversity of assignments (zhang et al., 2025)

Dysfunction of Regulatory T Cells: The Fundamental Underlying Mechanisms Underpinning Autoimmune Diseases
Full text linkRegulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in maintaining immune homeostasis by suppressing excessive immune responses and preventing autoimmune reactions. Dysregulation of Treg function has been identified as a key factor in the development and progression of various autoimmune diseases. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying Treg dysfunction is essential for unraveling the complex pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. This article delves into the intricate interplay between Tregs and autoimmune diseases, exploring the impact of Treg dysfunction on immune regulation and disease development. By examining the mechanisms of Treg dysfunction and therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring Treg function, we aim to shed light on this intricate aspect of autoimmunity and pave the way for innovative approaches to managing autoimmune conditions
Can Home Education Guiding Services Enhance Educational Involvement of Parents of Left-Behind Children? An Empirical Analysis Based on Evidence from Hubei Province
Full text linkAmid its economic development and social structural transformation, China has seen an ongoing flow of its rural population into urban areas, instigating the issues of left-behind children and their education.
