Web Ontoloji Dili (OWL) Yoluyla Gelişimsel Bozukluğu Olan Bireylere Yönelik Eğitsel Etkinlik Keşif Sistemi

Today, experts and organizations dealing with pervasive developmental disorder are trying to minimize the experienced problems of the individuals with educational methods chosen carefully after extensive research. However, because of various reasons the relatives of the individuals who cannot reach these organizations are trying to give proper education at home. During these trainings while selecting the educational methods they prefer internet and related software. However, today’s static based internet and related software can be insufficient to supple desired result for the individual’s needs.In this article, the architecture of Agent-based Educational Activity Discovery System which can operate on semantic base and propose educational methods for parents, pre-school educators, experts that are working for these institutions, university students studying in related fields or individuals interested in pervasive developmental disorder is presented. The ontology knowledgebase of this system is developed by using the OWL (Web Ontology Language) while creating its entire concepts, features, and relations between these concepts about pervasive developmental disorders are defined in ontology.Günümüzde, yaygın gelişimsel bozukluğa sahip bireylerin topluma kazandırılmasıyla ilgilenen kurumlar veya uzman eğitim kadrosu, uzun araştırmalar sonunda titizlikle seçtikleri eğitsel metotlarla yaşanılan sıkıntıları aza indirgemeye çalışmaktadırlar.

Women - Gender - Academia. Essays of an Interdisciplinary Research Symposium

Vom 21. Juni 2013 bis zum 23. Juni 2013 fand an der Universität Passau das Symposium „Gender.Frauen.Wissenschaft.“ statt, auf dem der vorliegende Sammelband basiert. Veranstalterin war das Frauenbüro der Universität Passau, welches mit der Veranstaltung verschiedene Ziele bezweckte. Ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass es an der Universität zu dem Zeitpunkt keine institutionalisierten Gender-Studies gab, aber viele Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, die zu Genderfragen bzw. Genderaspekten in ihrem Fach forschen, sollte das Symposium solchen Personen die Gelegenheit geben, sich kennenzulernen, über die Forschungsprojekte sich auszutauschen und zu vernetzen. In der Tat glückte der intra- und interfakultäre Ansatz. Da sich das Symposium als Förderinstrument verstand, sollte der Schwerpunkt auf dem wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs liegen. So versammelt der Band Beiträge von Autorinnen und Autoren in ganz unterschiedlichen Qualifizierungsphasen

Prognosis following long term splint use in horizontal root fracture: case report

Introduction: Root fracture of the incisors is a rare condition in dental trauma. It can be treated successfully by stabilizing the repositioned tooth fragments. In splint applications it is recommended to use flexible or semi-rigid splints for 4 weeks; use of splints for extended durations may increase the risk of external root resorption. Case Report: A 12-year-old male patient who had had a dental trauma 10 months earlier consulted the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry at Gazi University. In his intraoral examination, mobility was detected in the mandibular right central incisor tooth. After clinical and radiographic examination, the patient was diagnosed with horizontal root fracture and the fractured tooth was splinted. The patient did not attend the scheduled follow-up visits, but re-appeared 2 years later for the removal of the splint. One year after the removal of the splint, healing with calcified tissue was observed. Conclusion: Although it is known that long-term splint causes root resorption, in this case it was observed that no pathology developed, and healing with calcified tissue occurred after splint use for an extended period. This is contrary to what has been argued in the literature

Thrombolysis or Surgery in Patients With Obstructive Mechanical Valve Thrombosis The Multicenter HATTUSHA Study

BACKGROUND Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is one of the life-threatening complications of prosthetic heart valve replacement. Due to the lack of randomized controlled trials, the optimal treatment of PVT remains controversial between thrombolytic therapy (TT) and surgery. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of TT and surgery as the first-line treatment strategy in patients with obstructive PVT. METHODS A total of 158 obstructive PVT patients (women: 103 [65.2%]; median age 49 years [IQR: 39-60 years]) were enrolled in this multicenter observational prospective study. TT was performed using slow (6 hours) and/or ultraslow (25 hours) infusion of low-dose tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) (25 mg) mostly in repeated sessions. The primary endpoint of the study was 3-month mortality following TT or surgery. RESULTS The initial management strategy was TT in 83 (52.5%) patients and surgery in 75 (47.5%) cases. The success rate of TT was 90.4% with a median t-PA dose of 59 mg (IQR: 37.5-100 mg). The incidences of outcomes in surgery and TT groups were as follows: minor complications (29 [38.7%] and 7 [8.4%], respectively), major complications (31 [41.3%] and 5 [6%], respectively), and the 3-month mortality rate (14 [18.7%] and 2 [2.4%], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Low-dose and slow/ultraslow infusion of t-PA were associated with low complications and mortality and high success rates and should be considered as a viable treatment in patients with obstructive PVT.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the nationwide prevalence and predictors of GDM in Turkey. Methods We conducted prospective nationwide screening among pregnant women. Between August 2016 and November 2017, a total of 2643 pregnant women from 51 centres in 12 different regions were enrolled. A two-step screening method and Carpenter and Coustan criteria were used in the diagnosis of GDM. Clinical and biochemical data were obtained using electronic database software. Results The national prevalence of GDM was found to be 16.2% [95% confidence intervals (CI) 15.0% to 17.4%] without a significant difference between urban and rural regions. Women with GDM were older (mean age: 32 +/- 5 vs. 28 +/- 5 years, P < 0.001) and heavier (mean BMI: 27.2 +/- 5.1 vs. 24.7 +/- 4.7 kg/m(2), P < 0.001) than their counterparts without GDM. The prevalence of GDM tended to increase with age (< 25 years, 6.9%; 26-35 years, 15.6%; and 36-45 years, 32.7%; P < 0.001). Maternal age, maternal BMI, history of previous GDM and family history of diabetes mellitus were independent predictors of developing GDM (P < 0.05 for all). Low-risk women (age < 25 years, BMI < 25 kg/m(2), no family history of diabetes) comprised 10.7% of the total population and the prevalence of GDM in these women was 4.5% (95% CI 2.4% to 7.8%). Conclusion The results of this nationwide study indicate that GDM is very common, affecting one in seven pregnancies in Turkey. Implementation of international guidelines on screening and management of this public health problem is required

Academic domains as political battlegrounds : A global enquiry by 99 academics in the fields of education and technology

Academic cognition and intelligence are ‘socially distributed’; instead of dwelling inside the single mind of an individual academic or a few academics, they are spread throughout the different minds of all academics. In this article, some mechanisms have been developed that systematically bring together these fragmented pieces of cognition and intelligence. These mechanisms jointly form a new authoring method called ‘crowd-authoring’, enabling an international crowd of academics to co-author a manuscript in an organized way. The article discusses this method, addressing the following question: What are the main mechanisms needed for a large collection of academics to collaborate on the authorship of an article? This question is addressed through a developmental endeavour wherein 101 academics of educational technology from around the world worked together in three rounds by email to compose a short article. Based on this endeavour, four mechanisms have been developed: a) a mechanism for finding a crowd of scholars; b) a mechanism for managing this crowd; c) a mechanism for analyzing the input of this crowd; and d) a scenario for software that helps automate the process of crowd-authoring. The recommendation is that crowd-authoring ought to win the attention of academic communities and funding agencies, because, given the well-connected nature of the contemporary age, the widely and commonly distributed status of academic intelligence and the increasing value of collective and democratic participation, large-scale multi-authored publications are the way forward for academic fields and wider academia in the 21st century.peerReviewe

Academic domains as political battlegrounds:A global enquiry by 99 academics in the fields of education and technology

This article theorizes the functional relationship between the human components (i.e., scholars) and non-human components (i.e., structural configurations) of academic domains. It is organized around the following question: in what ways have scholars formed and been formed by the structural configurations of their academic domain? The article uses as a case study the academic domain of education and technology to examine this question. Its authorship approach is innovative, with a worldwide collection of academics (99 authors) collaborating to address the proposed question based on their reflections on daily social and academic practices. This collaboration followed a three-round process of contributions via email. Analysis of these scholars’ reflective accounts was carried out, and a theoretical proposition was established from this analysis. The proposition is of a mutual (yet not necessarily balanced) power (and therefore political) relationship between the human and non-human constituents of an academic realm, with the two shaping one another. One implication of this proposition is that these non-human elements exist as political ‘actors’, just like their human counterparts, having ‘agency’ – which they exercise over humans. This turns academic domains into political (functional or dysfunctional) ‘battlefields’ wherein both humans and non-humans engage in political activities and actions that form the identity of the academic domain.
