Objective: We aimed to evaluate the sleep characteristics of children born preterm and the relationship between these characteristics and parental sleep quality. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the parents of children born preterm were administered the Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The study included 89 children born preterm with a current mean age of 38.7±55 months. According to the CSHQ, 95.5% of children had a sleep disorder. According to the PSQI, 48.9% of the mothers, 35.3% of the fathers had poor sleep quality. Maternal and paternal total PSQI scores were significantly correlated (r=0.373, p=0.030). In regression analysis of factors that may affect total CSHQ score, sleep disorder was found to be associated with low maternal education, hemiplegia, no smoking in the home (p=0.001, p<0.001and p<0.001 respectively). When factors that may affect total PSQI score were examined by regression analysis, the odds of poor sleep quality were 5.5 times higher in mothers with a high education level, 4 times higher in mothers with a history of multiple pregnancy (p=0.006 and p=0.027). Conclusion: Our study revealed a high rate of sleep disorder in children with a history of preterm birth and high rates of poor sleep quality among their parents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bu çalışmada beç tavuklarına kapalı yetiştirme şartlarında uygulanan çevresel zenginleştirmenin besi performansı, kesim ve et kalite özellikleri ile bazı davranış özelliklerine etkilerinin ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesi BOZOKTUAM Yerköy Hayvancılık işletmesinde yürütülmüş olup, hayvan materyalini 200 adet günlük yaşta beç tavuğu oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada, çevresel zenginleştirme uygulanan ve uygulanmayan iki farklı muamele grubu oluşturulmuştur. Beç tavukları her iki muamele grubunda da 5 tekerrürlü olarak altlıklı yer sisteminde yetiştirilmiştir. Çevresel zenginleştirme grubunda tüneme tahtaları, taş materyalleri ve yeşillik yemliği objeleri yer almıştır. Beç tavukları kuluçkadan çıkıştan sonra muamele gruplarına rastgele dağıtılmış ve 13 haftalık kesim yaşına kadar aynı kümes ortamında büyütülmüştür. Çevresel zenginleştirme uygulanan grupta daha düşük kesim ağırlığı gerçekleşmiş ve yemden yararlanma oranı 10 ve 12 haftalık yaşta kontrol grubunda daha iyi bulunmuştur. Kesim ağırlığı ve sıcak karkas ağırlığı çevresel zenginleştirme uygulanan grupta daha düşük bulunmuştur. Çevresel zenginleştirme uygulanan beç tavuklarında daha yüksek eşinme, koşma, yem yeme ve su içme, kabarma ve kanat çırpma ile tüy temizleme davranışı gözlenmiştir. Tüy gagalama davranışı ve yatma davranışı ise çevresel zenginleştirme uygulanmayan (kontrol grubu) beç tavuklarında daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma kapalı ortamda yetiştirilen beç tavuklarında çevresel zenginleştirme uygulamalarının genel performans, karkas ve et kalite özelliklerinde önemli bir değişime neden olmadan doğal davranışların sergilenme düzeyini artırarak daha yüksek bir refaha katkı sağlayabileceğini ortaya koymuştur.

Objective: Respiratory pandemics cannot be prevented from spreading if the mask is not worn correctly. This study aims to determine adult's awareness of mask use and the factors that influence mask use. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a university hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic (June 2020). Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and mask use. Results: In the presented study, 705 people were included. The mean age of the participants was 35.86±8.77 (18-65) years old and 71.2% (n=502) were male, and 45.5% (n=321) were university graduates. Complete compliance with the pandemic rules was achieved by 83.7% of women (n=170) and 58.0% of men (n=291) (p<0.001). While 77.6% (n=547) used surgical/medical masks, 60.4% (n=426) reported using the same mask more than once. Of these, 44.8% (n=191) washed the mask, 36.9% (n=157) ventilated the mask and 18.3% (n=78) did nothing before reuse. Among mask wearers, 51.9% (n=366) reported breathing difficulties and 33.2% (n=234) reported that wearing a mask had a negative psychological impact. Conclusions: It has been determined that there is a lack of information on the use of masks, even during the COVID-19 pandemic where the use of masks is mandatory. It is important that the mask is used correctly to provide effective protection. Efforts should be accelerated to ensure that all segments of the society are sufficiently aware of this issue.

Objective: Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a severe hereditary neuromuscular disease. As of December 2021, premarital SMA carrier screening program has begun in our country. The aim of this study is to evaluate knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about premarital SMA carrier screening. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with volunteers of both genders who applied to Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary hospital between June and September 2022, to have the necessary examinations for the marriage report. The sociodemographic and medical characteristics of the participants, their attitudes towards SMA disease and carrier screening, and their knowledge levels were questioned using the Data Collection Form prepared by us. The scores obtained from the answers given to the questions measuring the level of knowledge about the SMA were converted into a 100-point scoring system and the total score was obtained. Significance was evaluated at the p< 0.05 level. Results: This study was conducted with 154 people, whose average age was 28.16±5.54 (min:18-max:54) and 54.5% (n=84) of whom were male. 6.8% (n=72) were university graduates. 87% (n=134) wanted to be screened for SMA carriage. The knowledge level of the participants about SMA was low in 31.2% (n=48) and high in 24.7% (n=38). The SMA knowledge of women was significantly higher than men (p=0.038). Those who had received information about SMA before had a higher level of SMA knowledge than those who did not. (p=0.012). Of those who stated that they had received information before, 55.2% (n=32) received information from social media, 36.2% (n=21) from doctor/health professionals. Conclusion: The majority of participants had a medium-high level of knowledge about SMA and wanted to undergo carrier screening. However, the knowledge of 31.2% was at a low level. The fact that the knowledge of those who receive information about SMA is higher indicates that the knowledge level of health professionals about SMA should be increased, especially in primary care where screening is performed.

Post-modern toplum düzenini getirdiği yenilikler bireylerin yaşam tarzlarında ve alışkanlıklarında önemli değişimlere neden olmuş, bu değişimler gıda tercih ve tüketim alışkanlıklarında da gözlemlenmiştir. Günümüzde çoğu insan gıdaya erişimi artık sadece beslenme ihtiyacını karşılamaya yönelik bir çaba ile sınırlandırmayıp ondan psiko-sosyal ve ekonomik faydalar da beklemekte, beslenme alışkanlıklarına rasyonel, hedonik ve sembolik boyutlar eklemektedir. Bu kapsamda yeme-içme faaliyetlerini evlerinin dışında gerçekleştiren bireylerin sayısında sürekli bir artış söz konusudur. Bu araştırmada ev dışı gıda tüketimini (EDGT) etkileyen gıda odaklı faktörler ve sosyo-demografik özelliklerin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’nin 7 bölgesinin en büyük şehirlerinde 1016 tüketici ile yüz yüze anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiş elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve sıralı probit regresyon modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Buna göre gıda tercihlerini etkileyen faktörler arasında başkaları tarafından da tüketilen gıdaların ev dışı gıda tüketim sıklığı ile pozitif, besin içeriği ve yerel markaları tercih etme ile ise negatif ilişki durumu söz konusudur. Gıda tüketim desenlerinden fast-food tüketimi, sokak yemeği tercihi ve abur-cubur tüketimi ile EDGT sıklığı arasında pozitif, bitkisel temelli beslenme tercihiyle ise negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca sosyo-demografik özelliklerden cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş, gelir ve eğitim de bireylerin EDGT’lerini etkilemektedir.

Most primitive stingless bee species in Asia areTetragonula "iridipennis sp. group, which are highly eusocial and corbiculate. The aim of the study is to explore thestingless bee behaviour around their habitat, as they have constructed their nest in cracks and crevices. General behaviour of stingless bee, inside the hive and their habitat was studied through periodical observation of colony throughout the research period 2020 to 2021. Colony behaviour showed that the bees (i) resort to switching of entrance (during morning and night), (ii) construct false nest and vestibule chamber to prevent intruders by trapping and mummification, (iii) follow mass provisioning (time and number of workers involved in provisioning per brood pot) and ovipositioning process (time taken for egg laying by queen and sealing of brood pots by workers after oviposition), (iv) resort to cleaning process through removal of waste as a debris ball, (v) resort to mess and soil manner of foraging (burglary of floral rewards), (vi) forage on resin substances (like natural milky latex from plant and petroleum product-grease) and (vii) peak forage time was between 10.00 and 01.00 hours.

Introduction: The current study was aimed to evaluate the attitudes and behaviors of individuals 90 years and older living in Malatya regarding rational drug use. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out with people aged 90 and over (n=1022) living in Malatya province and its districts. Face-to-face interview method was used to collect study data. In the first part of the form used for data collection, the descriptive characteristics of the participants were questioned, and in the second part, the attitudes and behaviors towards rational drug use were examined. Rational drug use features are evaluated by World Health Organization (WHO) prescribing indicators. Results: The frequency of rational drug use was 84.1%, and the rate of over-the-counter drug use was 19.2% among individuals 90 years and older. 52.3% of the participants had over-the-counter medication at home for use, when necessary, without doctor's recommendation. The most commonly available over-the-counter group of drugs at home were painkillers. Conclusion: The frequency of rational drug use in individuals aged 90 and older has been determined higher than in the literature on individuals aged 65 and older. Education, guidance and counseling programs can be created to increase rational drug use within elderly people communities. Keywords: rational drug use; oldest-old; elderly; attitude; behavior

Bu çalışmada, geçerli ve güvenilir bir konformizm (uymacı davranış) ölçeği geliştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Schwab (1980) tarafından önerilen üç aşamalı ölçek geliştirme adımları neticesinde 50 maddelik önerme havuzu oluşturulmuş, görünüş ve kapsam geçerliliği açısından 5 uzman görüşüne sunulmuş ve yapılan değerlendirmelerle 35 madde ölçekten çıkarılmıştır. Elde edilen 15 maddelik taslak ölçek özel sektörde çalışan 216 beyaz yakalı çalışana uygulanmıştır İstatistiki analizler neticesinde ölçek bütünlüğüne uymadığı düşünülen 5 madde daha modelden çıkarılmış ve ölçeğin değerlendirilmesi aşamasında 10 maddeli ve tek boyutlu, toplam varyansın %57.5’ini açıklayan bir model/ölçek elde edilmiştir. Analizler göstermiştir ki, konformizm (uymacı davranış) işe adanmışlık ile negatif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki içindeyken; işten ayrılma niyeti ile pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki içindedir. Ölçeğin tamamı için Cronbach alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı .91 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, geliştirilen konformizm (uymacı davranış) ölçeğinin istatistiksel olarak geçerli ve güvenilir olduğunu kanıtlamaktadır.

Intraguild predation (IGP) is defined as the consumption of one natural enemy by another and is a common phenomenon that can negatively affect pest control. In biological control applications, parasitoids are among the important natural enemies of harmful insects and they are generally adversely affected by IGP. It is possible to develop mathematical models for the interaction of parasitoid and IGP, which prevents the suppression of pest populations. Generally, it has been determined by researchers that an intraguild predator inhibits pest control when the rate of IGP on parasitoids is higher than the rate of predation on pests. There are instances where IGP predators directly attack parasitoid adults or prefer parasitized hosts over non-parasitized hosts. This event prevents the suppression of harmful insects. However, due to the different defense reactions of parasitoids, the effect of IGP is minimized. The negative effects of IGP on pest control will be resolved with a better understanding of parasitoid and predator behaviors.. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of milk feeding frequency on the growth, behaviour and health of calves during the suckling period. The Holstein calves (5 in each group) at the age of 5-day-old were used in the study. Computer controlled feeder (CCF) was used in the study. First group calves were given 4 lt/day of milk replacer feed (G1), in the morning and evening. In the second group (G2), a maximum of 12 lt/day of milk, which is natural suckling behaviour, in the morning (05:00-08:00), midday (10:00-13:00)i evening (16:00-20:00) were allowed to consume substitute feed. The time spent for rumination by both groups was close to each other. Cross-sucking and vocalization behaviour was more common in G1, but decreased with age. Tongue Rolling behaviour was more common in G2, but decreased with age. The results showed that the milk feeding frequency did not have a significant effect on the behavioural patterns of the calves.

Objective: Childhood obesity has become a most common public health problem. We aimed to examine the relationship between obesogenic family practices for childhood obesity, children's obesity, smartphone usage times, and depressive symptoms. Material and Methods: In the present study, we conducted on 96 families and their children aged 6-14 who applied to our pediatric clinic from October 2020 to July 2021. Parents and children who agreed to participate in the study filled out an online questionnaire containing sociodemographic data, children's weight, and height information, "The Children's Depression Inventory (CDI)," and "Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Screening Tool (FNPA)." Results: The present study found 80.2% (n=77) of the children were primary school students, and 19.8% (n=19) of them were secondary school students. We found a significant negative correlation between FNPA score and depressive symptoms in primary school students (r and p values; r=-0.276, p=0.015). Obesogenic family environment was correlated with higher depressive scores in primary school children. We also confirmed that primary and secondary school children with obesogenic family environments spent more time on smartphones (p respectively p=0.009, p=0.031). Conclusion: The FNPA is an easily applicable tool to determine obesogenic family factors. Children with an obesogenic family environment should be carefully evaluated for depressive symptoms and smartphone usage time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Anket, COVID-19 pandemisi boyunca diş hastanesine başvuran 292 gönüllü hasta ve yakınlarına yüz yüze uygulandı. Veriler tek değişkenli ve çok değişkenli regresyon analizleri ile değerlendirildi. Anket değişkenleri, demografik veriler, komorbiditeler, koronavirüs enfeksiyonu durumunda hastalık şiddetinin tahmini, yakınında koronavirüs enfeksiyonunun varlığı ve inkübasyon dönemi, semptomların başlangıcı ve izolasyon dönemine yönelik somut klinik senaryoları içermekteydi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların % 85,6’sı inkübasyon periyodunu yanlış yorumladığı ve semptomlar ortaya çıktığında % 68,1’ inin hastaneye başvurmaktan kaçındığı görüldü. İzolasyon sürecinde ise katılımcıların çoğunluğunun doğru davranış sergilediği (% 60,6), önemli bir kesimin ise hekime telefonla danışma ihtiyacı duyduğu (% 23,6) görüldü. İleri yaş, eğitim seviyesi düşük ve komorbid katılımcıların doğru yorum ve davranış oranı genel olarak düşüktü. COVID-19 pozitif yakını olanlar inkübasyon dönemini daha doğru yorumlasa da semptom varlığında hastaneye başvurmaktan kaçındıkları görüldü. Sonuç: Yoğun bilgilendirmelere rağmen toplumun büyük çoğunluğunun inkübasyon dönemini yanlış yorumladığı ve semptom varlığında hastaneye başvurmaktan kaçındığı açıkça görülmüştür. Yakınında COVID-19’a şahit olma durumu ise beklenen şekilde bilgi düzeyi ve davranış değişikliği oluşturmamıştır. Toplumun bilinç ve doğru davranış düzeyinin artırılması amacıyla düzenlenecek bilgilendirme faaliyetlerinde hedef kitleye ileri yaş, komorbiditesi olan ve eğitim düzeyi düşük bireylerin dahil edilmesinin faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Objectives: It is designed to test the Turkish version of ASKAS's validity and reliability for use with older people, health professionals, and people who influence older people. Material and Method: Language and content validity, item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency coefficients were evaluated in this study. Results: It was decided to omit two items from the scale's knowledge subscale, and the three-factor structure of the attitude subscale was found to be within the range of acceptable fit indices. Conclusions: The Turkish version of ASKAS was determined to be valid, reliable, and applicable in practice.

Herbicides can pose a serious hazard to aquatic organisms and human health. Herbicides prepared as a mixture formulation may have much more toxic effects, but there are few studies in the literature showing the toxicities of these herbicides. In our study, the toxic effects of different concentrations (0.25, 0.5 and 1 ppm) of mixed herbicides (Halauxifen methyl+Pyroxsulam+Cloquintocet acid), which have been used extensively in the market in recent years, on zebrafish embryos and larvae were evaluated with developmental parameters and behavioral tests. Embryos and larvae exposed to the mixed herbicides for 96 hours had reduced survival and delayed exit from the chorion, especially at the highest application concentration (1 ppm). Various malformations were observed in embryos and larvae with the effect of mixed herbicides. In addition, it was determined that the total distance covered by zebrafish larvae at 96th hour increased and hyperactivity occurred at 1 ppm concentration of the mixed herbicide. Our study provides important data in terms of understanding the toxic effects of mixed chemicals on aquatic organisms. As a result, more and more detailed studies are required since chemicals (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides or heavy metals) found as a mixture in the aquatic ecosystem are considered to be a threat to aquatic organisms.

Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is an old disease and it has infected millions of people worldwide. Since it is a highly infectious disease, many people became TB contact due to prolonged exposure to a person with TB infection. This group of people is at a higher risk of getting latent and active TB infection, hence a vulnerable group for active TB screening. This study explored the factors that determined the attitude score, the level of knowledge, attitude, and stigma (KAS) regarding TB disease among TB contact. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a validated KAS questionnaire, performed among 338 TB contacts from 5 health clinics in Kedah, Malaysia. The respondents were selected via convenience sampling. Simple and multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean KAS scores of participants are 73.5% [standard deviation (SD)=17.06], 83.0% (SD=10.33), and 67.0% (SD=16.72), respectively. Higher income (p=0.001), better knowledge score (p<0.001), and higher stigma score (p=0.003) are the significant associated factors for the attitude score. Conclusions: This study revealed that most of the TB contacts have good knowledge and constructive attitude toward TB prevention and screening, but their level of stigma on TB is high. The implementation of TB education and intervention programs among TB contacts are required especially among low-income groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
