Cyberbullying: Senior Prospective Teachers’ Coping Knowledge and Strategies

This study aimed to determine senior prospective teachers’ coping knowledge and strategies for cyberbullying in terms of demographic variables. The sample consisted of 471 prospective teachers (324 female and 147 male) studying in the 4th grade in Dokuz Eylül University Buca Education Faculty in Izmir in the 2019-2020 academic year. It was a quantitative study using a causal-comparative research design to find out whether prospective teachers’ coping knowledge differed by independent variables. The Coping with Cyberbullying Scale developed by Koç et al. (2016) was employed to discover prospective teachers’ coping strategies for cyberbullying. A Personal Information form was also prepared to collect demographic information. The data were analyzed with SPSS 25.0 program. Since the dependent variables did not have a normal distribution, the differences between the variables with two groups were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test, and the variables with three or more groups were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The findings suggested that the prospective teachers’ cyberbullying coping knowledge level was moderate. Other findings were discussed in the discussion section

Effects of the Histamine H2 Receptor Antagonist Famotidine on the Healing of Colonic Anastomosis in Rats

BACKGROUND: Failure of anastomotic healing is one of the major complications in colorectal surgery. Because histamine plays an important role in immune and inflammatory reactions, we demonstrate the effects of famotidine on the healing of colonic anastomosis in rats. METHODS: Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the study. Excision and end-to-end anastomosis was performed in the distal colon of the rat. The Famotidine Group received 2 mg/kg/day famotidine; the Control Group received the same amount of saline. Bursting pressure of anastomoses and hydroxyproline content of perianastomotic tissues were evaluated on the third and seventh days following surgery. RESULTS: Bursting pressures and hydroxyproline contents for the Famotidine Group were significantly lower than the equivalent parameters for the Control Group on both the third and seventh days post-surgery. CONCLUSIONS: According to our findings, famotidine exerts detrimental effects on the anastomotic bursting pressure and hydroxyproline content of perianastomotic tissues in the colon of rats

6-9 Yaş Çocuklarının Hareket Gelişimleri İle Akıl Yürütme Yeteneği Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Bu araştırmada, 6-9 yaş çocuklarının genel motor gelişim özellikleri ile zihinsel yeteneklerden akıl yürütme yeteneği (akıcı zekâ) arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, özel bir İlkokula devam etmekte olan 6-9 yaş grubundaki öğrencilerden random yoluyla belirlenmiş toplam 78 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Verilerin elde edilmesinde iki ölçek kullanılmıştır: hareket gelişimlerini ölçmek amacıyla Lincoln Oseretzsky Motor Gelişim Testi ve akıl yürütme yeteneklerini (akıcı zekâ) ölçmek amacıyla WJ-Rcog Zihinsel Yetenek Test Bataryası’nda yer alan Analiz-Sentez Testi. Hareket gelişimi ve akıl yürütme yeteneğinin yaşlara göre farklılaşma durumunu saptamak için varyans analizi, cinsiyete göre farklılaşma durumunu saptamak üzere ise t-testi hesaplaması yapılmıştır. Tüm örneklem grubu ve alt gruplarda hareket gelişimi ile akıl yürütme yeteneği arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamak amacıyla da pearson çarpım momentler katsayısı hesaplamaları yapılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre;  6-9 yaş çocuklarının hareket gelişimleri ile akıl yürütme yetenekleri arasında; tüm grupta ve 6 yaş grubunda .01 düzeyinde manidar bir ilişki görülmüştür.7, 8 ve 9 yaş gruplarında ise manidar bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. Her iki cinsiyet alt gruplarında hareket gelişimi ile akıl yürütme yeteneği arasında .01 düzeyinde manidar ilişkiler saptanmıştı

Recent Advances in Health Biotechnology During Pandemic

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in 2019, cut the epoch that will make profound fluctuates in the history of the world in social, economic, and scientific fields. Urgent needs in public health have brought with them innovative approaches, including diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To exceed the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, various scientific authorities in the world have procreated advances in real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) based diagnostic tests, rapid diagnostic kits, the development of vaccines for immunization, and the purposing pharmaceuticals for treatment. Diagnosis, treatment, and immunization approaches put for- ward by scientific communities are cross-fed from the accrued knowledge of multidisciplinary sciences in health biotechnology. So much so that the pandemic, urgently prioritized in the world, is not only viral infections but also has been the pulsion in the development of novel approaches in many fields such as diagnosis, treatment, translational medicine, virology, mi- crobiology, immunology, functional nano- and bio-materials, bioinformatics, molecular biol- ogy, genetics, tissue engineering, biomedical devices, and artificial intelligence technologies. In this review, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of various scientific areas of health biotechnology are discussed
