İlkokul Öğrencilerinin Velilerine Yönelik İstismarı Önleme Müdahale Programının Etkililiğinin İncelenmesi
No full textÇocukluk dönemindeki cinsel istismar yaşantılarının çocuğun fizyolojik ve psikolojik sağlığı üzerinde yıkıcı etkileri olduğu gibi erişkin yaşama taşınan olumsuz sonuçları da mevcuttur. Cinsel istismara maruz kalan çocuklar utanç, suçluluk, depresyon gibi olumsuzluklarla baş etmek zorunda kalırken, yetişkin yaşamda da zihinsel, sosyal, cinsel ve kişilerarası işlevsellik açısından önemli güçlükler yaşamaktadır. Tüm bu olumsuz sonuçların önüne geçilebilmesinde en etkili müdahale ise erken çocukluk döneminde uygulanan önleme programlarıdır. Çocuk cinsel istismarını önleme programları sıklıkla okullarda çocuklara yönelik gerçekleştirilmektedir. Ancak Covid-19 Pandemisi esnasında çocuklar okullara yüzyüze devam edememişlerdir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada ebeveynlere çevrimiçi ulaşılarak çocukların, beden sınırları ve farklı dokunuşlar konusundaki bilgi düzeyini arttırmayı amaçlayan 2 saatlik bir önleme programı geliştirilerek etkililiğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada çalışma grubunu 41 ilkokul 1. sınıf öğrencisi (X?yaş= 6.78, SS= .42) oluşturmaktadır. Eğitim grubunda 21, kontrol grubunda ise 20 çocuğun yer aldığı 2 × 2'lik faktöriyel araştırma deseniyle planlanan bu çalışmada, eğitimin etkililiğini değerlendirmek amacıyla \"İstismardan Korunma Becerisi Formu\" ve \"Çocuk Bilgi Envanteri\" ölçüm araçları, öntest ve sontest olarak uygulanmıştır. Eğitim içeriği çocuklara ebeveynleri aracılığı ile aktarılmıştır. Hazırlanan eğitim içeriği öncelikle eğitim grubundaki ebeveynlere çevrimiçi olarak verilmiş ve ebeveynleri tarafından çocuklara aktarılan kişisel güvenlik eğitiminin etkisi çocukların verdiği cevaplar üzerinden incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında ebeveynleri tarafından eğitim verilen çocukların cinsel istismardan korunma bilgi ve becerilerinde artış olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, araştırmaya katılan ebeveynlere eğitim programıyla ilgili görüşleri sorulmuş, eğitim programını yeterli ve anlaşılır buldukları ve ebeveynlerin çocuğun seviyesine uygun bilgi verme becerilerini arttırdığı görülmüştür
Search for pair production of heavy particles decaying to a top quark and a gluon in the lepton plus jets final state in proton-proton collisions at ?s=13 TeV
No full textA search is presented for the pair production of new heavy resonances, each decaying into a top quark (t) or antiquark and a gluon (g). The analysis uses data recorded with the CMS detector from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). Events with one muon or electron, multiple jets, and missing transverse momentum are selected. After using a deep neural network to enrich the data sample with signal-like events, distributions in the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of all reconstructed objects are analyzed in the search for a signal. No significant deviations from the standardmodel prediction are found. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the product of cross section and branching fraction squared for the pair production of excited top quarks in the t* -> tg decay channel. The upper limits range from 120 to 0.8 fb for a t* with spin-1/2 and from 15 to 1.0 fb for a t* with spin-3/2. These correspond to mass exclusion limits up to 1050 and 1700 GeV for spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 t* particles, respectively. These are the most stringent limits to date on the existence of t* -> tg resonances.FWF (Austria); FNRS (Belgium); FWO (Belgium); CNPq (Brazil); CAPES (Brazil); FAPERJ (Brazil); FAPERGS (Brazil); FAPESP (Brazil); BNSF (Bulgaria); MoST (China); NSFC (China); CSF (Croatia); RIF (Cyprus); SENESCYT (Ecuador); MoER (Estonia); ERDF (Estonia); Academy of Finland (Finland); MEC (Finland); CEA (France); CNRS/IN2P3 (France); BMBF (Germany); DFG (Germany); HGF (Germany); NKFIH (Hungary); DAE (India); DST (India); IPM (Iran); SFI (Ireland); INFN (Italy); NRF (Republic of Korea); MES (Latvia); MOE (Malaysia); UM (Malaysia); BUAP (Mexico); CONACYT (Mexico); UASLP-FAI (Mexico); MBIE (New Zealand); PAEC (Pakistan); FCT (Portugal); MESTD (Serbia); PCTI (Spain); MOSTR (Sri Lanka); Swiss Funding Agencies (Switzerland); NSTDA (Thailand); TUBITAK (Turkey); NASU (Ukraine); NSF (USA); Marie-Curie program (European Union); European Research Council (European Union); Horizon 2020 Grant (European Union) [675440, 724704, 752730, 758316, 765710, 824093, 884104]; COST Action (European Union) [CA16108]; Leventis Foundation; Alfred P.

Synthesis, structural characterization, and photoluminescence properties of Dy3+-Doped CaB4O7 Phosphors: Influence of Li+ and K+ Co-doping
No full textThis study examines the structural and photoluminescence properties of Dy3+-doped CaB4O7 phosphors co-doped with Li+ and K+, synthesized via the high-temperature solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement confirmed the successful incorporation of Dy3+ (substituting for Ca2+), Li+ (interstitial), and K+ (interstitial) ions within the CaB4O7 lattice at co-doping concentrations of x = 0.02 wt percent (wt%), y = 0.05 wt%, and z = 0.10 wt%, respectively. This co-doping induced localized lattice distortions while maintaining the overall crystal symmetry. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy reveal modifications in borate network vibrational modes, indicating the stabilizing effects of Li+ and K+ co-doping. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis demonstrates an unusually intense red emission (4F9/2 -> 6H11/2), deviating from typical Dy3+ emission trends, which is attributed to local symmetry distortions and enhanced electric dipole transitions. JuddOfelt analysis confirms a high Omega 6 parameter (5.42 x 10-20 cm2), further supporting this enhancement. Li+ co-doping significantly enhances PL, increasing yellow emission by a factor of 7.64 and red emission by 4.03. Similarly, K+ co-doping influences the crystal field environment, leading to a 6.36-fold boost in yellow luminescence and a 3.60-fold increase in red luminescence. Temperature-dependent PL studies reveal an anti-thermal quenching effect, with red emission intensity increasing up to 550 K, indicating potential applications in high-temperature environments. The findings demonstrate that Li+ and K+ co-doping modulates the emission characteristics of Dy3+-doped CaB4O7, reinforcing its applicability in solid-state lighting and optoelectronic devices.Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia [PNURSP2025R16]; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) [1001-223M036]We express our gratitude to the Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University Researchers Supporting Project number (PNURSP2025R16), Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Influence of infrapatellar fat pad size on the development and severity of chondromalacia patella
No full textThe inflammatory role of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) in cartilage damage has been well-documented, yet its potential protective function as a shock absorber remains underexplored. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the IPFP size and chondromalacia patella (CP), while also examining the effects of age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Magnetic resonance imaging scans from 311 patients aged 40 to 65 years were retrospectively analyzed. Axial sequences classified CP severity, and sagittal sequences measured IPFP areas. CP was graded according to the International Cartilage Repair Society system, and patients were grouped into control (no CP), mild CP (grades 1-2), and severe CP (grades 3-4) categories. Demographic data, including age, sex, and BMI, were collected, and statistical analysis explored the relationships between IPFP area, CP severity, and these factors. Of the patients, 145 (46.6%) had no CP, while 166 (53.4%) had varying CP severity. Patients with CP had significantly smaller IPFP areas (6.16 +/- 0.67 cm(2)) compared to controls (6.96 +/- 0.87 cm(2), P < .001). The mean IPFP area decreased progressively with increasing CP severity. After adjusting for confounders, a smaller IPFP area was significantly associated with the presence and severity of CP (P < .001). These findings provide evidence that a larger IPFP area plays a protective role in maintaining patellar cartilage integrity and mitigating CP progression, as demonstrated by a significant inverse correlation between IPFP area and CP severity, independent of age, sex, and BMI. A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach integrating biomechanical, metabolic, and inflammatory factors is warranted to fully elucidate the role of IPFP in CP
Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercises on Dyspnea and Comfort Level in Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease A Randomized Controlled Study
No full textThis parallel-group randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on dyspnea and comfort level in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study utilized a stratified and block randomization methodology, with 42 patients completing the trial. Patients in the intervention group received 30-min progressive relaxation exercises for 6 weeks. The mean dyspnea level scores of the patients in the intervention group at week 6 were found to be lower than those of the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < .05). Furthermore, a statistically significant decrease in patients’ mean comfort level scores in the intervention group was observed over the follow-up periods (P < .05). The study results demonstrate that progressive relaxation exercises constitute an effective nursing intervention for managing dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on central corneal thickness and anterior segment parameters
No full textPurpose: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment modality commonly used for various medical conditions, such as diabetic foot ulcers and sudden hearing loss. This study aims to evaluate HBOT’s effects on central corneal thickness (CCT) and other corneal topographic parameters through comprehensive ophthalmic assessment. Materials and methods: Detailed ophthalmologic examinations and corneal topography measurements were performed on 92 patients with various non-ophthalmologic diseases, both before and immediately after undergoing HBOT. Corneal topography was measured before and after the therapy. The recorded parameters included central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber volume, and corneal volume. The patients were also categorised into two groups: diabetic (n = 22) and non-diabetic (n = 70). Results: Following treatment, statistically significant reductions were observed in CCT (529.69 ± 31.7 ?m vs. 526.63 ± 33 ?m, p = 0.002) and corneal volume (58.63 ± 3.71 mm³ vs. 58.21 ± 3.58 mm³, p = 0.016). Conversely, anterior chamber volume significantly increased (124.38 ± 30 mm³ vs. 126.42 ± 30.7 mm³, p = 0.003). Comparative analysis between diabetic and non-diabetic groups revealed no substantial differences in CCT and corneal volume changes following HBOT. However, the diabetic group exhibited significantly lower baseline anterior chamber volume before treatment (p = 0.01 and p = 0.042). Conclusions: HBOT administration resulted in measurable reductions in CCT and corneal volume, along with an increase in anterior chamber volume, in all treated eyes. The observed decrease in corneal thickness manifested less prominently in diabetic patients compared to their non-diabetic counterparts, suggesting potential metabolic influences on corneal response to hyperoxic conditions. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
Path Optimization for Cluster Order Picking in Warehouse Robotics Using Hybrid Symbolic Control and Bio-Inspired Metaheuristic Approaches
No full textIn this study, we propose an architectural model for path optimization in cluster order picking within warehouse robotics, utilizing a hybrid approach that combines symbolic control and metaheuristic techniques. Among the optimization strategies, we incorporate bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms such as the Walrus Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Puma Optimization Algorithm (POA), and Flying Foxes Algorithm (FFA), which are grounded in behavioral models observed in nature. We consider large-scale warehouse robotic systems, partitioned into clusters. To manage shared resources between clusters, the set of clusters is first formulated as a symbolic control design task within a discrete synthesis framework. Subsequently, the desired control goals are integrated into the model, encoded using parallel synchronous dataflow languages; the resulting controller, derived using our safety-focused and optimization-based synthesis approach, serves as the manager for the cluster. Safety objectives address the rigid system behaviors, while optimization objectives focus on minimizing the traveled path of the warehouse robots through the constructed cost function. The metaheuristic algorithms contribute at this stage, drawing inspiration from real-world animal behaviors, such as walruses' cooperative movement and foraging, pumas' territorial hunting strategies, and flying foxes' echolocation-based navigation. These nature-inspired processes allow for effective solution space exploration and contribute to improving the quality of cluster-level path optimization. Our hybrid approach, integrating symbolic control and metaheuristic techniques, demonstrates significantly higher performance advantage over existing solutions, with experimental data verifying the practical effectiveness of our approach. Our proposed algorithm achieves up to 3.01% shorter intra-cluster paths compared to the metaheuristic algorithms, with an average improvement of 1.2%. For the entire warehouse, it provides up to 2.05% shorter paths on average, and even in the worst case, outperforms competing metaheuristic methods by 0.28%, demonstrating its consistent effectiveness in path optimization
Do nurses follow the “Right Response”? Mixed methods research
No full textAim: Drug administration and management is an important procedure among clinical nursing practices and is one of the significant indicators affecting patient safety and quality of care. It was aimed to determine the nurses’ monitoring of drug effects after drug treatment. Methods: In the study, sequential explanatory design from exploratory and mixed research methods was used. Quantitative data were collected using a data collection form and qualitative data were collected through in-depth and individual interviews using a semi-structured interview form. The interviews were recorded with a voice recorder. Results: It was determined that the average age, working years, weekly working hours, and daily number of patients cared for by the nurses were respectively 30.46±6.96, 7.1±6.31, 44.92±5.71, 15.42±11.89 years. It was found that 54.2% of the nurses checked the drug package insert before administering the medication, 74.5% of the nurses always considered the history of drug and food allergy to be of vital importance before drug administration, and 97.9% of the nurses reported unexpected side/toxic effects. As a result of in-depth interviews with the nurses participating in the study, three themes were identified: the approach of right drug administration principles, the approach of following the right response, and the follow-up status of nurses after drug administration. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that nurses lacked knowledge about the right medication, and could not implement the right response due to high workload, low number of nurses, and lack of time. It was observed that nurses gave the responsibility of right response follow-up to the patient or the patient’s relatives. By evaluating the reasons for not implementing the right response, it is recommended that the number of nurses should be increased, the workload should be regulated, and nurses should receive training on the right drug administration and especially on the importance of the right response. It is also recommended that nurses receive training and counseling on their duties, authorities, and responsibilities
OTA and DO-CCII Based Floating Memtranstor Emulator with Electronically Tunability Property
No full textThe memtranstor, which directly correlates charge and magnetic flux through nonlinear magnetic effects, is classified as the fourth memory element alongside the memristor, memcapacitor, and meminductor. This represents a highly promising option for the development of nonvolatile devices. This article presents a new emulator design that incorporates a recently introduced memory element namely, the memtranstor in a floating structure. The design employs three operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs), one dual-output second-generation current conveyor (DO-CCII) and one analog multiplier as active components. Additionally, three grounded capacitors and one grounded resistor are used as passive elements. The proposed floating memtranstor emulator circuit also offers electronic tunability through control of the transconductance parameters (gm) of the OTAs. PSPICE simulation results, based on 0.18 mu m CMOS technology parameter, are provided to validate the functionality of the proposed emulator. A variety of simulations are performed, including those demonstrating memory effects, Monte Carlo analyses, temperature variation and pinched hysteresis loop behaviors under varying DC control voltages, transconductance parameters, and frequencies. Furthermore, a memtranstor-based chaotic oscillator circuit was implemented using the proposed emulator and validated through simulations, and additional experiments were carried out using commercially available ICs
