No full textThe aim of the study is to identify anachronistic errors in social studies textbooks. Document analysis method was used in the research. The obtained data were analysed by “descriptive analysis. The data of the research consisted of the Ministry of National Education (MNE) primary school 4th grade and secondary school 5th, 6th, and 7th grade social studies textbooks in 2021. The relevant textbooks were examined by focusing on the criteria prepared in line with expert opinions. As a result of the research, the following findings were reached: In the course texts, mostly due to the logical errors in the use of place names, anachronistic errors occurred. In the fictional texts, the views of the course book author are included as if they were the discourses of historical characters. Course book authors do not pay attention to time and space; they interpret the past with contemporary perspective, which causes anachronistic errors. There was no finding that could cause anachronistic errors in the "photographs and pictures" in the textbooks; however, it has been concluded that there are anachronic errors due to the careless use of place names in historical maps
Study protocol to investigate the effect of a lifestyle intervention on body weight, psychological health status and risk factors associated with disease recurrence in women recovering from breast cancer treatment
No full textBackground
Breast cancer survivors often encounter physiological and psychological problems related to their diagnosis and treatment that can influence long-term prognosis. The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of a lifestyle intervention on body weight and psychological well-being in women recovering from breast cancer treatment, and to determine the relationship between changes in these variables and biomarkers associated with disease recurrence and survival.
Methods/design
Following ethical approval, a total of 100 patients will be randomly assigned to a lifestyle intervention (incorporating dietary energy restriction in conjunction with aerobic exercise training) or normal care control group. Patients randomised to the dietary and exercise intervention will be given individualised healthy eating dietary advice and written information and attend moderate intensity aerobic exercise sessions on three to five days per week for a period of 24 weeks. The aim of this strategy is to induce a steady weight loss of up to 0.5 Kg each week. In addition, the overall quality of the diet will be examined with a view to (i) reducing the dietary intake of fat to ~25% of the total calories, (ii) eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, (iii) increasing the intake of fibre and reducing refined carbohydrates, and (iv) taking moderate amounts of alcohol. Outcome measures will include body weight and body composition, psychological health status (stress and depression), cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life. In addition, biomarkers associated with disease recurrence, including stress hormones, estrogen status, inflammatory markers and indices of innate and adaptive immune function will be monitored.
Discussion
This research will provide valuable information on the effectiveness of a practical, easily implemented lifestyle intervention for evoking positive effects on body weight and psychological well-being, two important factors that can influence long-term prognosis in breast cancer survivors. However, the added value of the study is that it will also evaluate the effects of the lifestyle intervention on a range of biomarkers associated with disease recurrence and survival. Considered together, the results should improve our understanding of the potential role that lifestyle-modifiable factors could play in saving or prolonging lives
Validation of a data collection set for the psychiatric, addiction, sleep and chronobiological assessments of patients with depression: A Delphi study for the SoPsy-depression French national cohort
No full textInternational audienceObjectives: Despite international efforts to identify biomarkers of depression, none has been transferred to clinical practice, neither for diagnosis, evolution, nor therapeutic response. This led us to build a French national cohort (through the clinical and research network named SoPsy within the French biological psychiatry society (AFPBN) and sleep society (SFRMS)), to better identify markers of sleep and biological rhythms and validate more homogeneous subgroups of patients, but also to specify the manifestations and pathogeneses of depressive disorders. Before inclusions, we sought to provide a predefined, standardized, and robust set of data to be collected in all centers.Methods: A Delphi process was performed to achieve consensus through the independent rating of invited experts, the SoPsy-depression co-investigators (n=34). The initial set open for vote included 94 questionnaires targeting adult and child psychiatry, sleep and addiction.Results: Two questionnaire rounds were completed with 94% participation in the first round and 100% participation in the second round. The results of the Delphi survey incorporated the consensus opinion of the 32 members who completed both rounds. Nineteen of the 94 questionnaires achieved consensus at the first round and seventy of 75 at the second round. The five remaining questionnaires were submitted to three experts involved in the steering committee during a dedicated meeting. At the end, 24 questionnaires were retained in the mandatory and 26 in the optional questionnaire set.Conclusions: A validated data collection set of questionnaires is now available to assess psychiatry, addiction, sleep and chronobiology dimensions of depressive disorders
