EVALUATION OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TIME MANAGEMENT PERCEPTIONS AND TIME MANAGEMENT BEHAVIORS OF SPORT MANAGEMENT STUDENTS

The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between the future perceptions of the students of the sports management department and their time management behavior. For this purpose, Gazi, Selçuk, Muğla and Fırat University Sports Sciences Faculty, Sports Management students (n = 770) participated in the questionnaire voluntarily. The socio-demographic information form of the volunteers was applied to the future time perception scale developed by Husman and Shell (1996) and the Time Management Behavior Scale developed by Britton and Tesser (1991). The obtained data was recorded with the package program "IBM SPSS 22". Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman Correlation Analysis for the Correlation between future time sense and time management behavior were applied as a statistical process. As a result, there was a significant Correlation between gender, university and class, time management behaviors, gender, university and class variables. Furthermore, a too weak Correlation was found between the future time sense and the time management behavior on the positive side. This may be due to the students' personal development, social circles, socioeconomic status difference and the missions and visions of the students differ.  Article visualizations

A Study On The Determination Of Eligibility Of Concrete Composition Designed For Expanded Polystyrene Foam Insulating Concrete Form Wall System

Genleştirilmiş Polistiren Sert Köpük (EPS) Yalıtım Kalıplı Donatılı Beton Taşıyıcı (EPS YKDBT) Duvar Sistemi’nde, sistemin özelikleri dikkate alınarak tasarlanan “kendiliğinden yerleşen beton” (KYB) kullanılması uygundur. Fakat KYB’nin maliyetinin yüksek olması sebebiyle EPS YKDBT duvar sisteminde KYB’nin kullanılması sistemin yapım maliyetini arttırmaktadır. Sistemin yapım maliyetini düşürmek amacıyla çalışma kapsamında EPS YKDBT duvar sistemi için “çok akıcı” kıvamda geleneksel beton bileşimi tasarlandı. EPS YKDBT duvar sistemi için tasarlanan istenir geleneksel beton bileşiminin uygunluğu, KYB ile karşılaştırılarak deneysel olarak belirlenmeye çalışıldı. Çalışma sonucu incelenen EPS YKDBT Duvarlı bina yapım sisteminde vibrasyon uygulanmadan çok akıcı kıvamda geleneksel beton bileşiminin kullanılmasının uygun olmayacağı sonucuna varıldı.The self compacting concrete (SCC) designed taking into account the properties of the system is suitable for use in Expanded Polystyrene Foam Insulating Concrete Form (EPS ICF) Wall System. However, the high cost of the SCC increases construction costs. In this paper, in order to reduce the construction cost of EPS ICF Wall System, a very high workability, preferably free-flowing traditional concrete composition was designed for the system. The suitability of the concrete designed was compared experimentally with that of SCC. The results of the study suggested that the usage of a desirable very high workability or flowing consistency traditional concrete placed without vibration would not be appropriate for the EPS ICF Wall Syste

A SiGe HBT d-band LNA with butterworth response and noise reduction technique

This letter presents a wideband high-gain fourstage cascode D-band low noise amplifier (LNA) implemented in a 0.13-mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology. A shunt inductor that is used at the intermediate node of the cascode topology to reduce the noise contribution of the common base transistor is analyzed and employed for the first time for the SiGe HBT technology. Furthermore, the staggered-tuning technique based on the Butterworth distribution is utilized to have a wideband flat-gain characteristic. The designed LNA has a measured 32.6-dB peak gain at 144.5 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 52 GHz. The measured noise figure (NF) is lower than 6.1 dB across the whole D- band, and its minimum value is 4.8 dB. The total dc power consumption is 28 mW. To the authors' best knowledge, these results demonstrate the lowest NF performance and the widest 3-dB bandwidth among the Dband LNAs implemented in the silicon-based technologies. The effective chip area excluding the pads is 0.6 mm(2), and the total IC occupies an area of 1 mm(2)

Is there any prognostic significance in pleural involvement and/or effusion in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC?

PurposeAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations occurs in approximately 3-5% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Pleural involvement/effusion is common in ALK-positive patients with NSCLC at baseline. The aim of the study was to evaluate the characteristics of ALK-positive patients who have Ple-I/E.MethodsIn this multicenter study, patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who have Ple-I/E were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and demographic characteristics of the disease, response rates, median progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated in 362 ALK-positive patients with NSCLC.ResultsOf the patients, 198 (54.7%) were male. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 54 (range 21-85) years. All patients' histology was adenocarcinoma (100%). At baseline, 57 (15.7%) patients had Ple-I/E. There was no association between Ple-I/E and gender, lung metastasis, or distant lymphadenopathy (LAP) metastasis. The frequencies of liver, brain, and bone metastases were significantly higher in ALK-positive patients without Ple-I/E compared to those with Ple-I/E (respectively 18.2% vs 4.8%, p = 0.008; 19.1% vs 4.8%, p = 0.001; 20.6% vs 8.9%, p = 0.002). The median PFS was longer in ALK-positive patients who had Ple-I/E (18.7 vs 10.6 months, p = 0.017). Similarly, the median OS was longer in ALK-positive patients who had Ple-I/E (44.6 vs 22.6 months, p = 0.051).ConclusionBrain, liver, and bone metastases were lower in ALK-positive patients with Ple-I/E. Patients presented with Ple-I/E were prone to have better PFS and OS

Perceived Need for Mental Health Services Among Healthcare Workers During the Coronavirus disease-19 Pandemic in Turkey: A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study.

Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic has contributed to work-related psychosocial risks in healthcare workers.Aims: To evaluate the perceived need for mental health services and related factors in Turkish healthcare workers practicing in pandemic hospitals.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Methods: Data were collected from face-to-face interviews with healthcare workers at 19 pandemic hospitals in 13 provinces between September and November 2021. The study survey included the evaluation of the perceived need for and utilization of mental health services in the previous year, as well as sociodemographic, health-related, and work-related characteristics, the General Health Questionnaire-12, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQoL-BREF) questionnaire, and the Fear of coronavirus disease-2019 scale (FCV-19S).Results: Of 1,556 participants, 522 (33.5%) reported a perceived need for mental health services, but only 133 (8.5%) reported receiving these services. Multiple logistic regression analysis of the perceived need for mental health services revealed significant relationships with lower age, female sex, being a current smoker, having a chronic disease, having a mental disorder, coronavirus disease-2019 contact within the last three months in settings other than the home or workplace, a positive coronavirus disease-2019 vaccination history, being a physician, being a non-physician healthcare professional, and coronavirus disease-2019 contact within the last three months at work. After adjustment for these characteristics, higher General Health Questionnaire-12 and FCV-19S scores and lower WHOQoL-BREF domain scores were related to the perceived need for mental health services in logistic regression analyses.Conclusion: The findings indicate a substantial need for mental health services amongst Turkish healthcare workers during the pandemic and outline participants' characteristics regarding high-priority groups for the intervention. Future research may focus on developing actions and evaluating their efficiency
