For incomplete preference relations that are represented by multiple priorsand/or multiple -- possibly multivariate -- utility functions, we define acertainty equivalent as well as the utility buy and sell prices andindifference price bounds as set-valued functions of the claim. Furthermore, wemotivate and introduce the notion of a weak and a strong certainty equivalent.We will show that our definitions contain as special cases some definitionsfound in the literature so far on complete or special incomplete preferences.We prove monotonicity and convexity properties of utility buy and sell pricesthat hold in total analogy to the properties of the scalar indifference pricesfor complete preferences. We show how the (weak and strong) set-valuedcertainty equivalent as well as the indifference price bounds can be computedor approximated by solving convex vector optimization problems. Numericalexamples and their economic interpretations are given for the univariate aswell as for the multivariate case.

The general BRST-BFV analysis of anomaly in the string theory coupled tobackground fields is carried out. An exact equation for c-valued symbol ofanomaly operator is found and structure of its solutions is studied.

Objective: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is widely seen in school age children and adolescents. ADHD is seen in boys 2-10 times more frequent than girls. Attention processes are carried out by the neural network system which different brain regions form intense interconnections between them. Children with ADHD may have some difficulties in selective attention, sustained attention and visual-spatial attention functionality, which is one of the visual attention components. The purpose of this study was to investigate the selective attention, sustained attention and visual-spatial functions in boys with ADHD diagnosis.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the sensory profile of preterm children an to investigate the relationship between sensory processing and school readiness at five years of age. Methods: Seventy-six children aged 60–72 months (36 preterm children born, Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi dönemde preterm çocukların duyusal profilini belirlemek ve duyusal işleme ile okula hazır oluş arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 60-72 ay arası 76 çocuk (gestasyonel yaşı 37 haftadan küçük 36 preterm ve 40 term çocuk) dahil edildi. Duyusal işlemleme Dunn Duyu Profili ile değerlendirildi. Okula hazırlık durumu Marmara İlköğretim Okulu Hazır Oluş Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Okul öncesi dönemdeki preterm grubun duyusal işlemleme skorları term gruptan anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p

Document Information Language:Turkish Accession Number: WOS:000506831800019, Spatial cognition and skills are of critical importance for architecture. During their education, architecture students are expected to use and develop visuospatial skills to generate/construct, retain, rotate, and manipulate space mentally and physically through physical and digital representations. This study was designed and conducted to fill the gap in researches on the first-year architecture students' spatial skill evaluated by means of neuropsychological tests. The goal of the study was to investigate the potential connections between the first architecture students' visuospatial skills and art training or education prior to the university education. 128 students participated to the research voluntarily. For visuospatial skills Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM) test was administrated. The findings demonstrated that first year architecture students' performances on neuropsychological tests assessing visuospatial skills were compatible with the norm scores and their cognitive development level. Participants with art training prior to university performed better in RSPM total, and RSPM subtest E. The results supported the previous studies claiming that art training and/or education have a positive impact on spatial cognition and visuospatial skills.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the neuropsychological test performance of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and normal/high- intelligence.

Background:We hypothesized that enteral protein supplementation in infants with brain injury would be safe and well tolerated and improve growth. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five infants with perinatal brain injury were randomized to a high-protein (4 g/kg/d) or standard-protein diet and followed for 12 months. Results: The whey protein powder was well tolerated by 9 of the 13 infants in the high-protein group, and no adverse events related to the supplement were seen. The protein group had higher serum urea nitrogen at 10 and 30 days after study initiation but no difference in bicarbonate levels at either time point. Infants in the protein group maintained their weight z score from birth to 3 months of age, while infants in the standard group had a significant decrease in their weight z score over the same time period. Conclusion: These results suggest that enteral protein supplementation may reduce growth failure in infants with brain injury.
