Creating and utilizing spaces to enhance intergenerational learning at schools and results

The purpose of the study was to explore the requirements of schools to increase intergenerational learning, collaboration and solidarity amongst the Baby Boomers, X and Y generations, based on the views of school principals. The research focused on how to create spaces for interaction among different generations and what consequences will arise when intergenerational spaces are created. This study was conducted with phenomenological research design. The study group consisted of 12 school principals who were identified with the maximum diversity sampling technique from Kocaeli Province, Dilovasi District. Criteria used in the selection of school principals were to work as managers in different schools and in different school types. The data were collected with a semi-structured interview form and the content analysis method was used. Interview questions were determined by researchers in the direction of research questions. Creation of intergenerational space is the main topic of this study whereas subtopics are scope and opportunities. On the other hand, findings collected indicate that principals mention intramural and out of school events about the creation of intergenerational space. These events are met under the titles of sports, art, entertainments and educational space. Finally, the results of creating spaces were examined in the study

There was a statistically significant difference in DISCERN score between quality groups and the highest score was in the high-quality group (

NAYLON/PAMUK KARIŞIMI KUMAŞLARIN TEK BANYOLU BOYANABİLİRLİĞİNİ SAĞLAMADA KİTOSANLA KİMYASAL MODİFİKASYONUN ETKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Bu çalışmada, naylon/pamuk karışımı kumaşların tek banyo tek adımlı olarak boyanabilmesi için her iki lif komponentinin tek bir boyarmadde ile boyanabilir hale getirilmesi üzerinde çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla kitosan ile katyonikleştirme yoluyla liflerin her ikisinin anyonik karakterli boyalarla boyanabilir hale getirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Fulardda yapılan kitosan aplikasyonları sadece çapraz bağlayıcı ve çapraz bağlayıcı + kitosan kullanılarak iki farklı şekilde yapılmıştır. Ardından işlemli ve işlemsiz kumaş numuneleri değişik boya sınıflarıyla (yün reaktifi, pamuk reaktifi, 1:2 metal kompleks) boyanmıştır. Yapılan denemeler sonucunda yün reaktifinin yanı sıra hem naylona afiniteli 1:2 metal kompleks boya hem de pamuğa afiniteli pamuk reaktifi ilavesi durumunda ön ve arka yüzlerin hem derinlik hem nüans olarak aynı seviyeye gelmesi sağlanabilmiştir. Laboratuvar ölçekli çalışmalardan elde edilen optimum sonuçlar işletme koşullarında da denenmiş ve renk ve yıkama, su, ter ve ışık haslıkları açısından tatmin edici sonuçlar alınmıştır. Ancak özellikle yaş sürtme haslıklarının düşük olması ve kumaşta yer yer düzgünsüzlük problemlerinin olması kitosan ile kimyasal modifikasyon işlemlerinin, laboratuvar ölçekli çalışmalarda başarılı sonuç vermesine karşın, işletmede üretim koşullarında kullanılabilmesinin bazı güçlükler içerdiğini ortaya koymuştur

NAYLON/PAMUK KARIŞIMI KUMAŞLARIN TEK BANYOLU BOYANABİLİRLİĞİNİ SAĞLAMADA KİTOSANLA KİMYASAL MODİFİKASYONUN ETKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

In this study, it was aimed to make each fiber components dyeable with a single dyestuff so that nylon / cotton blend fabrics can be dyed in the same bath. For this purpose, it was aimed to make each of these fibers dyeable with anionic dyes by cationization with chitosan. The chitosan applications made in foulard were made in two different ways using only cross-linking resin and cross-linking resin + chitosan. Then, treated and untreated fabric samples were dyed with different dye classes (wool reactive, cotton reactive, 1:2 metal complex). As a result of the trials, it was ensured that both the depth and nuance of the front and back sides of the fabric were same in the case of adding 1: 2 metal complex dye having affinity to the nylon and cotton reactive dye having affinity to cotton in addition to the wool reactive. Optimum results obtained from laboratory scale studies were also tested in mill conditions and satisfactory results were obtained in terms of color and washing, water, perspiration and light fastness values. However, it has been revealed that the wet rubbing fastness values are low and there are unevenness problems in the dyed fabric. For this reason, it is important to note that, even if chemical modification process with chitosan have been successful in laboratory-scale studies, this process have some limitations for being used in large scale production in mill conditions. © 2022.

Examination of the Relationship between Umbilical Cord Blood Gas Values and Hearing Function in Neonates

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between the results of the transient otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) test used in neonatal hearing screening and the results of the umbilical cord blood (UCB) analysis in neonates.Methods: This retrospective study included 209 neonates born in the obstetric unit at the 37th gestational week. Based on the results of the TEOAE test, the neonates included in the study were divided into two groups as the study group composed of those “REFER” (n=141) and the control group consisting those “PASS” (n=68) the test. The UCB sampling procedure was performed on all neonates. In the blood samples, the pH parameters were evaluated by using glass electrodes, and the pCO2 and pO2 parameters were evaluated directly by using sensitive electrodes.Results: When the additional maternal diseases were compared with the TEOAE results, the ratio of hypothyroidism was found to be statistically higher in the study group (p0.05).Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the results of UCB analysis and the TEOAE test. However, we believe that conducting a larger study evaluating other parameters and employing UCB analysis would be useful, and UCB evaluation, which is an inexpensive, easy and effective method in determining hypoxia in neonates, might be a significant marker in cases at risk of hearing loss

Association Between Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Atherogenic Coefficient and in-Stent Restenosis After Drug-eluting Stent Implantation for Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Introduction:Despite improvements in stent science, in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a major problem. This study was designed to evaluate the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and atherogenic coefficient (AC) levels and their predictive values in patients who developed ISR after drug-eluting stent implantation for stable coronary artery disease.Methods:One hundred ninety-nine patients with ISR and 377 without ISR were included in the study. The biochemical and hematological parameters of the patients were measured. The AIP and AC values were calculated.Results:Patients with ISR had significantly longer stent length, lower stent diameter, lower ejection fraction, and higher SYNTAX score. They also had significantly higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, AIP, and AC compared to that of patients who did not develop ISR. AIP had a sensitivity of 61.3% and specificity of 72.1% for predicting ISR a cut-off value of 0.58. AC had sensitivity and specificity of 69.8% and 58.8%, respectively, for the presence of ISR a cut-off value of 3.44. LDL-C level of 111.5 mg/dL had sensitivity and specificity of 65.3% and 54% for developing ISR, respectively. Paired comparisons of area difference under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that AIP and AC had significantly greater area compared with that of LDL-C. Stent diameter, stent length, SYNTAX score, ejection fraction, AIP, and AC were the predictors of ISR.Conclusion:AIP and AC had higher specificities compared with that of LDL-C in predicting ISR. The calculation of AIP and AC is simple and could be used easily in clinical practice

The role of h-FABP and Myoglobin in Determining Disease Severity and Prognosis in STEMI

Introduction:Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains as a single biggest cause of death worldwide. Heart-type fatty acid -binding protein (h-FABP) and myoglobin are small proteins present in the myocyte cytosol. In cases of myocardial damage, they can freely pass into the bloodstream. Thus, they might be useful in the diagnosis of ACS. The aim of this prospective study was to search the relationship between h-FABP and myoglobin levels and disease severity and mortality.Methods:One hundred-fourty-nine male patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction consitututed our study population. Two groups occurred according to low (<23) and high (≥23) SYNTAX score as group 1 and group 2. Blood specimens were taken for h-FABP and myoglobin analysis at hospital admission and at 12 h. Patients underwent coronary angiography for diagnosis and treatment, and the SYNTAX score was calculated. Participants were followed up for 72 months, and cardiovascular mortality rates were recorded.Results:H-FABP at admission and h-FABP level at 12th h were lower in group 1 than in group 2 (p<0.001). We did not find significant differences between the myoglobin levels measured at the time of hospital entrance and at the 12th h in both groups. During 72-month follow-up, 123 patients survived and the survivors had a lower SYNTAX score, and a lower h-FABP level at admission. In the univariate analysi, h-FABP levels at admission and at 12 h were found to be independent predictors of coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. However, h-FABP levels did not predict mortality.Conclusion:In patients with ACS, measuring h-FABP levels at admission and in the late period (12th hour) are helpful, not only in the diagnosis but also severity and seriousness of CAD
