Comprasion of physical activity levels of working women and housewives according to some variables
This study aimed to examine the changes in physical activity levels of women according to some variables. Housewives (HW) and working women (WW) in certain institutions in Malatya voluntarily participated in the study. The volunteering participants were divided into two groups, WW and HW, based on employment status. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form was used to determine the physical activity levels of the participants in the study. According to the data obtained in the study, it was seen that the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) of the research group did not differ according to age, body mass index (BMI) and merital status, however the working status of the women affected their MET scores and the HW’s had a higher physical activity level than WW. It was seen that the inactive lifestyle habits of the working women in the research group affected their physical activity levels and they were not very active in the living areas left behind from the business life

Liposomes fuse with sperm cells and induce activation by delivery of impermeant agents
AbstractSperm cell activation is a critical step in fertilization. To directly investigate the cell signaling events leading to sperm activation it is necessary to deliver membrane impermeant agents into the cytoplasm. In this study, the use of liposomes as possible agent-loading vectors was examined using (1) the octadecylrhodamine B (R18) and NBD phosphatidylethanolamine (NBD DHPE)/rhodamine phosphatidylethanolamine (rhod DHPE) fusion assays in bulk samples, (2) membrane transfer of fluorescence from liposome membranes labeled with R18 and rhodamine-tagged phosphatidylethanolamine (TRITC DHPE), and (3) lumenal transfer of impermeant calcium ions from liposomes to sperm cells, a process that stimulated sperm cell activation. Intermediate-sized unilamellar liposomes (98.17±15.34 nm) were prepared by the detergent-removal technique using sodium cholate as the detergent and a phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine/cholesterol (2:1:1 mole ratio) lipid composition. In the R18 fusion assays, self-quenching increased logarithmically with increasing concentrations of R18 in the liposome membranes; addition of unlabeled sperm to R18-labeled liposomes lead to a rapid release of self-quenching. In the NBD DHPE/rhod DHPE resonance energy transfer (RET) fusion assay, RET was rapidly reduced under similar conditions. In addition, individual sperm became fluorescent when TRITC DHPE-labeled liposomes were incubated with unlabeled sperm cells. Incubation of sperm cells with empty liposomes did not significantly affect sperm cell activation and did not alter cell morphology. However, incubation with Ca (10 mM)-loaded liposomes resulted in a time-dependent increase in sperm cell activation (7.5-fold over controls after 15 min). We conclude that liposomes can be used for direct loading of membrane-impermeant agents into sea squirt sperm cell cytoplasm, and that delivery occurs via fusion and content intermixing

Distribution of Toxocara vitulorum in Cattle of Ağrı Region
Objective:Parasitizing in the small intestines of cattle, buffalo and bison, Toxocara vitulorum is seen in countries with humid tropical and subtropical climates, including Türkiye. Adult parasites can cause digestive disorders such as loss of appetite, weakness, diarrhea or constipation, and sometimes death, especially in calves. This study was planned to investigate the distribution of T. vitulorum in cattle of the Ağrı region.Methods:In this study, stool samples of the size of a walnut were taken from the rectum of 200 calves 0-6 months old and 200 cattle older than 1 year in the province of Ağrı and its districts, and the preparations were prepared using the saturated zinc sulfate flotation method and the preparations were examined under a light microscope.Results:T. vitulorum eggs were detected in 70 (35%) of 200 calves aged 0-6 months and 21 (10.5%) of 200 cattle over one year old. The difference in positivity between cattle over one year old and calves was statistically significant (p=0.001). With fecal examination ın 22 of the calves (11%), Trichostrongylidae spp. eggs were detected.Conclusion:It was determined that the prevalence of T. vitulorum in calves was high in Diyadin, Eleşkirt, Doğubayazıt, Hamur, Taşlıçay, Tutak and Patnos districts of Ağrı province. We believe that larger-scale studies should be conducted on the spread of this parasite, which causes significant low yields in cattle breeding
Examining Views of Classroom Teachers about ‘Group Works’
Bu araştırmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmenlerinin grup çalışmaları hakkındaki görüşlerini ve karşılaştıkları sorunları tespit etmektir. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yaklaşımı çerçevesinde tasarlanmış olup "durum çalışması" deseni kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu "kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi" yöntemiyle seçilen ve araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 56 sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak dört açık uçlu sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Görüşme sonunda toplanan veriler içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve doğrudan alıntılarla desteklenerek sunulmuştur. Sınıf öğretmenlerinin görüşlerine göre grup çalışmalarının en olumlu yönleri; yardımlaşma ve paylaşma duygularını geliştirmesi, akademik başarıyı artırması, sosyalleşmeyi sağlaması, sorumluluk bilincinin oluşmasına yardımcı olması ve çalışmaya karşı motivasyonu artırmasıdır. Olumsuz birtakım öğrenci davranışları, maddi olanakların yetersizliği, zaman alıcı olması ve rekabetçi bir anlayışı ortaya çıkarması, sınıf öğretmenlerinin grup çalışması yaptırırken karşılaştıkları sorunların başında gelmektedirThe aim of this study is to determine the classroom teacher’s views about group works and problems they encounter during they perform group works. The research was conducted within the scope of qualitative research approach and it was used “case study” as research design. Participants of this study consisted of fifty-six classroom teachers who were selected by using “easy reachable sampling method” and participated in this study voluntarily. “Semi-structured interview form” consisting of four openended questions was used for data collection. Datas gathered after interviews were analyzed by using “content analysis” and supported by direct quotations. Promoting sentiments of helping each other and sharing, increasing academic achievement, providing socialization, raising consciousness of accountability and increasing motivation towards studying are the compensations of group works according to classroom teachers. Participants stated those; negative students’ behaviors, insufficiency of materials, consuming plenty of time and causing a competitive understanding are negative sides of group work
Вплив високоінтенсивного інтервального тренування на мікроелементи та фізіологічні параметри у тенісистів
Background and Study Aim. This study investigated the effects of HIIT (high-intensity interval training) implementations on some serum elements, resting heart rate, total body weight, and BMI parameters in tennis players.
Material and Methods. The study group consisted of 20 athletes (aged 18-22) who were actively playing tennis. The athletes were divided into experimental (n=10) and control (n=10) group. To assign participants to these groups homogeneously, preliminary measurements were made before the study, and the results were used for clustering analysis. While the control group continued their regular tennis training, the experimental group was given additional HIIT three days a week besides regular tennis training. Measurements of BMI, resting heart rate, and body weight were taken, and serum samples were collected before and after training from both groups. The SPSS package program was used in data analysis. The level of significance was set at p<0.05 in the tests. Participants showed significant differences in sodium, calcium, iron, resting heart rate, weight, and BMI parameters between groups (p<0.05).
Results. However, no significant differences between the groups were found in potassium, chlorine, and magnesium parameters (p>0.05). The within-group measurements of sodium, calcium, resting heart rate, weight and BMI levels decreased in the experimental group in the post-test, while iron levels were higher in the post-test compared to the pre-test value (p<0.05). On the other hand, the pre-test and post-test values were similar within the control group, and there were no significant differences (p>0.05).
Conclusions. Training remodelled with HIIT implementation can affect athletes' element levels, BMI, total body weight, and resting heart rate. In addition, the increase in iron levels due to HIIT in the experimental group was important. We believe that this may affect both muscle contraction functions and the efficiency performance output. Lastly, due to the decrease of calcium and sodium elements with HIIT implementations, we suggest that HIIT applications should not be performed unsupervised. In addition, by tracking the element levels of athletes, they should be supported with supplements or nutritional meals in line with expert advice when necessary.Передумови та мета дослідження. У цьому дослідженні вивчався вплив застосування HIIT (високоінтенсивного інтервального тренування) на деякі елементи сироватки, частоту серцевих скорочень у стані спокою, загальну масу тіла та параметри ІМТ у тенісистів.Матеріал і методи. Дослідна група складалася з 20 спортсменів (віком 18-22 роки), які активно займалися тенісом. Спортсменів розділили на експериментальну (n=10) та контрольну (n=10) групи. Для однорідного розподілу учасників до цих груп перед дослідженням були проведені попередні вимірювання, а результати використані для кластерного аналізу. У той час як контрольна група продовжувала регулярні тренування з тенісу, експериментальна група отримувала додатковий HIIT три дні на тиждень, крім звичайних тренувань з тенісу. Були виміряні ІМТ, частота серцевих скорочень у стані спокою та маса тіла, а зразки сироватки відбиралися до та після тренування в обох групах. Для аналізу даних використовувалася пакетна програма SPSS. Рівень значущості в тестах встановлювався на рівні p<0,05. Учасники продемонстрували значущі відмінності в показниках натрію, кальцію, заліза, частоти серцевих скорочень у спокої, масі та ІМТ між групами (р<0,05).Результати. Проте суттєвих відмінностей між групами за показниками калію, хлору та магнію не виявлено (р>0,05). Внутрігрупові вимірювання вмісту натрію, кальцію, частоти серцевих скорочень у стані спокою, ваги та рівня ІМТ знизилися в експериментальній групі після тесту, тоді як рівень заліза був вищим у післятесту порівняно з дотестовим значенням (p<0,05 ). З іншого боку, значення до тесту та після тесту були подібними в межах контрольної групи, і не було суттєвих відмінностей (p>0,05).Висновки. Тренування, перероблені з використанням HIIT, можуть впливати на рівень елементів у спортсменів, ІМТ, загальну масу тіла та частоту серцевих скорочень у стані спокою. Крім того, важливим було підвищення рівня заліза за рахунок HIIT в експериментальній групі. Ми вважаємо, що це може вплинути як на функції скорочення м’язів, так і на продуктивність. Нарешті, у зв’язку зі зменшенням вмісту кальцію та натрію з використанням HIIT, ми пропонуємо не виконувати програми HIIT без нагляду. Крім того, відстежуючи рівень елементів у спортсменів, їх слід підтримувати добавками або дієтичною їжею відповідно до порад експертів, коли це необхідно
