Introduction: Trichothiodystrophy type 4 and glutaric aciduria type 3 are rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by biallelic variants in the MPLKIP and SUGCT genes on chromosome 7p14, respectively. Trichothiodystrophy type 4 is characterized by neurologic and cutaneous abnormalities. Glutaric aciduria type 3 is a rare metabolic disorder with inconsistent phenotype and elevated urinary excretion of glutaric acid. Case Presentation: Here, we report on an infant presenting with hypotonia, failure to thrive, microcephaly, dysmorphic features, brittle hair, hypertransaminasemia, and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. Microarray analysis revealed a homozygous microdeletion involving the MPLKIP and SUGCT genes, which are located close to each other. Conclusion: Copy number variations should be considered in patients with coexisting clinical expression of different genetic alterations. To the best of our knowledge, our patient is the second case with co-occurrence of trichothiodystrophy type 4 and glutaric aciduria type 3, resulting from a contiguous gene deletion.

Learning activities employed in out-of-school learning activities (OOSLA) provide students with a different learning experience while enabling teachers to discover, implement, and evaluate different teaching approaches. This study intends to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs levels of teachers as regards OOSLA and whether these self-efficacy levels differ significantly depending on their gender, graduated faculty, educational status, seniority, and department graduated from. It adopts the descriptive survey design. The sample is composed of 308 teachers. The data were collected utilizing the "Teachers' Self-Efficacy Beliefs Toward Out-of-School Learning Activities Scale''. Parametric test statistics were used in data analysis. The results revealed that teachers had a high level of self-efficacy beliefs regarding OOSLA and that gender was not a determinant of teachers' self-efficacy beliefs. It was also found that the participants who completed graduate studies had firmer self-efficacy beliefs than those who did not. The teachers with 21 years and above of teaching experience had higher self-efficacy levels than those with 6-10 and 11-15 years of teaching experience. On the other hand, graduates of mathematics and science education departments had lower self-efficacy levels than primary education, Turkish education, and social science education departments. Finally, researchers recommend encouraging pursuing graduate studies, collaborating with experienced teachers, eliminating institutional obstacles to out-of-school activities, and supporting teachers in increasing their self-efficacy regarding out-of-school learning activities.

The importance given to space and aviation science has increased with the advanced technological breakthroughs that made the 21st century to be called the "Space Age". As the aviation industry evolved, it was found that exposure to flight conditions and atmospheric pressure alterations has a variety of adverse effects on the physiological and psychological states of aviation personnel. There are several disorders that might cause medical incapacitations and thus jeopardize flight safety in such conditions. Oral, dental, and maxillofacial diseases are among those that, although manifesting locally, affect all bodily systems. For this reason, the diagnosis and treatment of such disorders should be thoroughly evaluated and carried out in accordance with aeromedical concerns. The purpose of this review is to emphasize the importance of periodic aeromedical examinations for the prevention of potential oral and dental health-related diseases, as well as medical issues of aviation personnel that require special attention in terms of flight safety.

The monogenic causes of very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) have been defined by advanced genetic studies, which were usually related to primary immunodeficiencies. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase-1 RIPK-1 protein is an important signalling molecule in inflammation and cell death pathways. Its deficiency may lead to different clinical features, via immunodeficiency and/or inflammation. Here we discussed an infant with malnutrition, VEO-IBD, reccurrent infections and polyathritis, who had a partial deletion in RIPK1 gene, adjacent biphenyl hydrolase-like (BPHL) gene, and a homozygous p.Glu148Gln mutation in Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene. The superimposing effect of immune dysregulation of these two defective genes may lead to severe clinical presentation of our patient.

INTRODUCTION: Although hypobaric hypoxia training (HHT) is an essential component of aviation physiology training, it poses a risk of decompression sickness (DCS). DCS can sometimes be observed as a cluster of cases, which is referred to as epidemic DCS. In this report, we aim to evaluate an epidemic DCS episode that occurred following two consecutive HHT sessions.METHODS: A total of 16 trainees, all of whom were medical doctors, attended the aviation medicine training course in the aeromedical research and training center. They went through HHT in two sessions, each with eight trainees.RESULTS: Following two HHT sessions, five Type 1 DCS cases occurred among 18 personnel (16 trainees and 2 inside observers). DCS incidence rate was found to be 27.77%. They were successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).DISCUSSION: Since the DCS incidence rate was found to be higher than the average in such a short period of time, this cluster of cases was labeled as epidemic DCS. We carried out a thorough investigation into all possible causes by following some templates that were developed to conduct comprehensive investigations into epidemic DCS episodes. According to the psychological arguments discussed here, we placed a special emphasis on hysterical and psychosocial components, among other probable factors. In cases where the possibility of hysteria and placebo-nocebo responses exist, it is appropriate to conduct the training and treatment processes with these factors in mind. No matter what the triggering factor is and how the symptoms manifest, HBOT remains crucial in the treatment of DCS.Demir AE, Ata N. Hysteria as a trigger for epidemic decompression sickness following hypobaric hypoxia training. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2022; 93(10):712–716.

In this study, the attitudes of teacher candidates towards the classroom as a learning environment was aimed to be examined. In order to determine the attitudes of teacher candidates towards the classroom as a learning environment, survey methods was used. The population of the research consisted of freshman and final grade students studying at the education faculty of a state university. The convenience sampling method was used while selecting the sample in the study. Accordingly, data were collected from 348 prospective teachers. The data of the research was obtained via the “Attitude Scale towards Classroom as a Learning Environment" developed by Çetin, Demirkan, and Çetin (2020). The data was analyzed with non-parametric tests. As a result of the research, it was determined that prospective teachers’ attitude scores towards the classroom as a learning environment were at a moderate level. Attitudes of female prospective teachers towards the classroom as a learning environment are more positive than those of males. Women find class less boring. The students of the fine arts education department see the classroom as indispensable in terms of the learning environment, in contrast to the students of the mathematics and science education department and the special education department. Students with a medium level perception of academic success have more negative attitudes towards the classroom as a learning environment than those with a good perception of academic success. Prospective teachers who are not satisfied with their department consider the classroom an indispensable learning environment compared to those who are partially satisfied. In light of the findings, it was suggested that classroom environments in education faculties should be improved in terms of classroom learning environment dimensions to help prospective teachers to develop positive attitudes.

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the distance education given via the Education Information Network platform, TRT EBA-TV and EBA live lesson during the Covid-19 pandemic on the basis of parents’ opinions. The current study employing the survey model was conducted with the participation of 709 parents. The research data were collected by an online questionnaire prepared by the researchers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was determined that during the distance education process, parents ensured that their children followed the lessons and motivated them, and students were eager to participate in the lessons. It was determined that student motivation was negatively affected for reasons such as connection problems and being closed at home during the pandemic. Parents stated that their awareness of their children’s education increased and they better understood the value of the teacher and school. It was revealed that there were technical problems in the process but support was received for the problems encountered. Though the parents think that face-to-face education cannot be replaced by distance education, they are of the opinion that distance education was good during the pandemic so that their children did not get alienated from the school. © 2021.

This research aims to determine teacher candidates’ value perceptions and their opinions on the acquisition of values to teacher candidates, in education faculties. In the research, a survey model was used to describe an existing situation. In this context, a questionnaire was applied to 2274 teacher candidates. Research results show that the value perceptions of male teacher candidates are lower than female teacher candidates. The value perceptions of teacher candidates who chose the teaching profession because they had to, were lower than those who preferred it because they loved it. Perceptions of teacher candidates about the acquisition of values are low in the sub-dimensions of understanding and empathy, and medium in the other sub-dimensions. Teacher candidates’ perceptions of the values that teachers should have are quite high in all sub-dimensions. Despite this, the scores regarding the acquisition of the same values in education faculties are statistically significantly lower and middle levels. These results indicate that the values cannot be gained enough in education faculties. Various suggestions were made in line with the research findings and results, and recommendations were made for future research.

Simulated flight in a hypobaric chamber is a fundamental component in the physiological training of aviators. Although rare, there is always a risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in trainees during hypobaric hypoxia training. In this study we aimed to determine the incidence of altitude-induced DCS and the symptoms manifested in trainees and inside chamber observers (ICOs) during the training sessions. We retrospectively reviewed the records of DCS cases during the period of January 1, 2011, and October 1, 2018. The records of 6,657 trainees and 615 ICOs were evaluated. The gender distribution in 6,657 trainees was 6,578 (98.81%) male and 79 (1.19%) female. The numbers of DCS cases in trainees and ICOs were six (0.09%) and two (0.33%), respectively [(ICOs versus trainees – odds ratio (OR): 3.574; 95% CI 0.720–17.744; (p > 0.05)]. All ICOs were male; no DCS incident was observed among female trainees. Recompression treatments were applied on site, and complete recovery was achieved in all cases. Overall DCS incidence was found to be 0.11% among the 7,193 male subjects, which included trainees and ICOs. The higher incidence of DCS in ICOs was attributed to the physical activities performed at altitudes by ICOs. In such training, established instructions have to be strictly followed by physicians, ICOs and trainees. All trainees and ICOs should be aware of the symptoms and signs of DCS, and medical support including a recompression facility, should be provided on site during hypobaric hypoxia training.

Bu çalışma, 2014 yılında özel öğretim merkezlerinin, diğer adıyla dershanelerin kapatılmasını ve bunların Temel Lise adı verilen yeni bir özel okula türüne dönüştürülmesini düzenleyen bir eğitim politikası değişikliğinden sonra gölge eğitimin Türkiye'de nasıl daha görünür hale geldiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çoklu durum çalışmasında okul paydaşlarıyla görüştük ve Ankara, Türkiye'deki beş Temel Lisede dersler ve soru çözüm saatleri gibi çeşitli süreçleri gözlemledik. Bulgular temel olarak Temel Liselerin resmi öğretim programlarının uygulandığı ve ağırlıklı olarak öğrencilerin üniversite giriş sınavına hazırlandığı ikili bir eğitim yapısına sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu gölge okullarda kâr elde etmek amacıyla sınav için öğretme yaklaşımına öncelik verilirken, okul kalitesinin çoğu yönü ihmal edilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu okullar özel okul olarak sınıflandırıldığından, bu okulların okul ücretleri, elit okullardan daha düşük olmasına rağmen orta ve yüksek sosyoekonomik statülü aileler için karşılanabilirdi. Böyle bir yaklaşımın, farklı sosyoekonomik sınıflara mensup öğrenciler arasında üniversite giriş sınavındaki başarı farkını genişletirken Türkiye'deki mevcut eğitim eşitsizliklerini daha da kötüleştirdiği sonucuna varıyoruz. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, herkes için nitelikli eğitim sağlayarak eğitim eşitsizliklerini ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla özel okullarda okullaşma sürecinin düzenlenmesinde eğitimcilere ve politika yapıcılara yardımcı olabilir.

This study situates how shadow education has become more visible in Turkey after an educational policy change in 2014 that regulated the closure of private tutoring centers –dershanes- and their transformation into a new type of private school called Basic High School - Temel Lise. In this multiple-case study, we interviewed school stakeholders and observed various processes such as classes and recitation hours at five Basic High Schools in Ankara, Turkey. The findings mainly revealed that Basic High Schools had a dual education structure in which the formal curricula were implemented and students were prepared for the university entrance examination, with an emphasis on the latter. Teaching to test was prioritized in these shadow schools for profit while most of the aspects of school quality were neglected. Further, since these schools were categorized as private schools, the school fee for these schools, although lower than the elite ones, was affordable for middle and high-socio-economic-status families. Such an approach, we conclude, exacerbated existing educational inequalities in Turkey while widening the achievement gap on the university entrance examination between students from different socioeconomic classes. The findings of this study might help educators and policy-makers in the organization of the schooling process at private schools to eliminate educational inequalities while ensuring quality education for all., Bu çalışma, 2014 yılında özel öğretim merkezlerinin, diğer adıyla dershanelerin kapatılmasını ve bunların Temel Lise adı verilen yeni bir özel okula türüne dönüştürülmesini düzenleyen bir eğitim politikası değişikliğinden sonra gölge eğitimin Türkiye'de nasıl daha görünür hale geldiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

The present study analyzes discursive practices that work to construct particular female identities and re/construct gender inequalities in Turkish educational system. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was utilized to analyze 124 publicly available educational policy documents directly related to gender in education. Additionally, CDA was applied to a total of 252 Turkish newspaper clippings published over the last decade in 14 different national newspapers. Analysis of the data was used to critically examine perceptions of teachers regarding gender issues in education. A total of 13 semi-structured interviews with teachers working at public schools in Ankara province were conducted for this purpose. The analysis describes the effects of discourse produced by and through the framing of policies and educational practices that shape Turkish social identities. Specific discursive effects examined include the construction and normalization of a female identity that is inferior, submissive, and conservative.

he purpose of this study is to examine the vocational English language needs of students in an ESP context in the Accommodation and Travel Service department at a vocational and technical Anatolian high school. The study is a partially mixed sequential equal status design. While convenient sampling method was employed to select students, criterion sampling method was utilized to select teachers and supervisors as participants. As a result, 25 ATS students, two vocational course teachers, two English teachers and three supervisors contributed to this research. A survey, semi-structured interview forms and open ended questions in the open interview were employed respectively to collect data from students, teachers and supervisors. In the analysis of the survey data both qualitative and quantitative methods were put into effect. On the other hand, the interview data were analysed through systematic content analysis, inductive coding and thematizing. The result of the analysis of the data revealed that students in this specific context were in need of improving particularly their speaking and listening skills. Low self-confidence of students, negative attitude toward speaking the language, lack of use of appropriate materials; strategies and methods during instruction emerged as issues of consideration in order to reach a resolution. Finally, lack of an appropriate curriculum, lack of strong school-enterprise relationships and inadequate professional qualifications of teachers emerged as issues to be considered by decision makers.

Eğitim programlarının uygulayıcısı olan öğretmenlerin programı anlama ve uygulama becerileri eğitim kurumlarının amaçlarına ulaşması açısından önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, farklı öğretim kademelerinde ve farklı branşlarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin eğitim program okuryazarlık düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma betimsel/tarama türünde bir araştırmadır. Araştırmada öğretmenlerin program okuryazarlık düzeyleri belirlenmiş ve çeşitli değişkenlere göre program okuryazarlık düzeyleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Veriler “Öğretmenlerin Program Okuryazarlıkları Ölçeğiyle” elde edilmiştir. Araştırma Türkiye genelinde görev yapan 421 öğretmen ile yürütülmüştür. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistik ve nonparametrik testlerden yararlanılmıştır. Sonuçlar öğretmenlerin eğitim programı okuryazarlığına yönelik yeterliklerini yüksek düzeyde algıladıklarını ve bu algının tezli yüksek lisans / doktora derecesine sahip olan öğretmenlerde ölçeğin bilgi-beceri alt boyutlarında yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Öğretmenlerin eğitim programı okuryazarlığı düzeylerinde, cinsiyet, kıdem, kademe ve mezun olunan fakültenin anlamlı bir farklılığa neden olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Kavram karikatürleri ile öğretim, öğrencilerin kavramları anlamaya olan ilgisini artırmanın yanı sıra yaratıcılıklarının gelişimi açısından etkilidir. Öğrencileri, ortaya çıkan sorunları fark etmeye ve çözüm aramaya teşvik den bir yöntem olarak kabul edilir. Kavram karikatürleri ile öğretimin fen ve teknoloji alanında ağırlıklı olarak tercih edildiği görülmekle birlikte sosyal bilgiler ve diğer alanlar için de tercih edildiği görülmektedir. Türkiye’de kavram karikatürlerinin tutuma etkisini araştıran birçok çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada Kavram karikatürleri ile öğretimin derse yönelik tutuma etkisi üzerine yapılmış birbirinden bağımsız çalışmaların bir araya getirilmesi ve sonuçlarının analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada meta–analize başlamadan önce, hangi çalışmaların meta–analize dâhil edileceğine ilişkin ölçütler belirlenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında 2007-2019 yılları arasında yayımlanan 23 çalışmadan ölçütlere uygun olan 15 çalışma değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Çalışmalardaki toplam katılımcı sayıları, deney grubu için toplam 469, kontrol grubu için ise toplam 476’dır. Araştırmalar Türkiye’de yürütülmüştür. Toplanan verilerin analizinde meta analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre, ortalama etki büyüklüğü değeri 0,345 ve pozitif bulunmuştur. Araştırmada heterojenite testi sonuçları dikkate alınarak etki büyüklüğünün hesaplanmasında rasgele etkiler modeli tercih edilmiştir. Rastgele etkiler modeline göre yapılan analiz sonucunda ortalama etki büyüklüğü değeri %95 güven aralığında anlamlı bulunmuştur (Z = 5,262). Elde edilen sonuçlar kavram karikatürleri ile öğretimin, geleneksel öğretim yöntemlerine göre öğrencilerin derse yönelik tutumuna, pozitif ve küçük düzeyde bir etkiye sahip olduğu yönündedir. Etki büyüklüklerinin ders alanlarına, araştırmanın yapıldığı coğrafi bölgeye, öğretim kademelerine ve uygulama sürelerine göre anlamlı farklılık göstermediği anlaşılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları kavram karikatürleri ile öğrenme yaklaşımının kullanıldığı deney grubu öğrencilerinin, geleneksel öğrenme yönteminin kullanıldığı kontrol grubu öğrencilerine göre derse yönelik daha olumlu tutuma sahip olduğunu göstermiştir., Teaching with concept cartoons is effective in terms of the development of creativity as well as increasing students' interest in understanding concepts. It is considered as a method that encourages students to notice the emerging problems and seek solutions. Concept cartoons are generally considered more suitable for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In Turkey, there are many studies on the effects of the concept of attitude cartoons. This study aims to bring together independent studies on the effect of concept cartoons on the attitude towards the lesson and to analyze the results. Before starting meta-analysis, the criteria for which studies will be included in the meta-analysis were determined. Within the scope of the research, 15 studies that comply with the criteria out of 23 studies published between 2007-2019 were evaluated. All of these 15 studies were carried out in Turkey. Collected data were analyzed by the meta-analysis method. In the study, a random-effects model was preferred in calculating the effect size, taking into account the heterogeneity test results. According to the results of the research, as a result of the analysis made according to the random-effects model, the average effect size value was found to be significant at 95% confidence interval (Z = 5,262). The average effect size value was found to be 0.345 and positive. The results obtained are that concept cartoons have a positive and small effect on students' attitudes towards the lesson compared to traditional teaching methods. It was understood that the effect sizes did not differ significantly according to the course areas, geographical region, education levels, and application periods. The research findings showed that the experimental group students in which the learning approach was used with concept cartoons had a more positive attitude towards the lesson than the control group students where the traditional learning method was used.

Objective: In this study, characteristics of the reproduction, the milk yield, and fleece yield in Hırik (Hamdani x Akkaraman crossbred) sheep were investigated.Materials and Methods: The animal material consisted of a total of 150 head ewes of Hırik (Hamdani x Akkaraman crossbred) and their lambs in Yoncabaşı village of Bitlis province. Born lambs were weighed by a digital weighing instrument with a sensitivity of 100 g within 24 hours, and postpartum weights of ewes were taken. The milk yield and the period of lactation were calculated by Trapeze II Method. Each of body weight of ewes after shearing and ewes' greasy fleece were weighed using electronic digital weighing scale with 100 g sensitivity. Fleece samples were taken from area of the last rib on the right shoulder of 45 head of ewes randomly selected from herd as sufficient quantity for analysis according to the sampling technique.Results: In Hırik sheep, the pregnancy rate, the infertility rate, the abortion rate, the lambing rate, and the twinning rate as traits of reproduction were 96.67 %, 3.33 %, 2 %, 94.67 %, and 11.97 %, respectively. The fecundity, the litter size, and the survival rate at 150th day were found as 1.06, 1.12, and were 100 %, respectively. The averages of the birth weight of lambs, the body weight of post-partum ewes, and the pregnancy efficiency were 3.05±0.03, 56.93±0.62, and 6.34±0.02 kg, respectively. The means of the lactation milk yield and the period in Hırik ewes were 174.50±0.58 l and 221.77±1.57 day, respectively. Average greasy fleece yield of Hırik ewes was 2.51±0.04 kg. Average live weight after shearing was 64.97±0.27 kg. General mean for clean fleece percentage was found as 71.44±1.08 %.Conclusion: It has been concluded that the fertility, the milk yield and the period of lactation, greasy fleece yield, and clean fleece percentage can be increased to a much higher level with a selection process to be carried out in Hırik sheep.

Constant pressures emanating from internal and external environments of the academy have resulted in many changes, one of which is the workplace mobbing, an old issue for the broader field of organization science but a relatively new phenomenon in the academic context. This study investigated the relationship between workplace mobbing and academic leadership and the results indicated that the more positive leadership there is in an institution, the less mobbing behaviors are observed.
