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

Analyzing the Differences in the Leisure Benefit Perceptions of Male and Female High School Students with Different Leisure Choices

This study aimed to analyze perceived leisure benefits of male and female high school students who had different leisure choices. The study was designed as a cross-sectional quantitative study and 335 high school students consisted study sample. In the study to collect data, the Turkish version of the Leisure Benefit Scale was used. The scale has three factors such as physical, psychological, and sociological leisure benefits. The data were analyzed with SPSS 23. Cronbach Alpha was calculated for internal consistency, the One-Sample Kolmogorov Smirnov test was used to check normality, and the Kruskal Wallis test was used to determine the differences between males and females at a 95% confidence level. As a result, this study showed no significant difference in the variable leisure benefit for male participants, on the other hand, significant differences emerged in favor of female participants who chose sports and exercise as a leisure activit

THE EFFECT OF 8-WEEK CORE TRAINING ON 100 M BACKSTROKE SWIMMING PERFORMANCE ON 13-15 AGE MALE SWIMMERS

In this study, It was aimed to investigate the effect of 8-week core training on backstroke swimming style 100 m performance in male swimming group of 13-15 age group. 24 athletes from the Gebze Gençlerbirliği Swimming Club participated in this study. The groups are divided into experiment group and control group randomly as 12 persons per group. During the study, the experimental group participated in core training in addition to swimming for 3 days a week. Control group just participated in swimming training during the survey. The exercises were designed as strength training for core muscles for 8 weeks. 100 m swimming test was used as a test measurement tool. The obtained data from pre and post test comparison was analyzed with Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test in SPSS 21.0 statistical package program. When the pretest and posttest results were compared as intragroup, a statistically significant difference was found in the experimental group (p.05). As a result, it was seen that the core area trained by 8-week core training on 13-15 age male swimmers have a positive effect on 100 m backstroke style performance
