Objectives: Impairment in postural stability is prevalent in schizophrenia patients and this poses potential hazards. This study was planned to investigate whether the Pilates-based training improve the postural stability of patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Outpatients with schizophrenia were allocated to either Pilates exercise group (n=10), or control group (n=10) receiving no exercise. Pilates exercise group participated in supervised Pilates mat exercise program twice per week for six weeks, while the control group participated in no regular physical activity during study. Biodex Balance System was used to assess the participants’ postural stability at the baseline and after six weeks. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that Pilates exercise group showed significant improvement in terms of overall and medial/lateral postural stability scores in static condition (p<0.05). Also, overall and anterior/posterior index scores on left leg, overall and medial/lateral index scores on right leg decreased after training (p<0.05). Postural stability scores in dynamic condition, medial/lateral index score on left leg and anterior/posterior index score on right leg did not change in the Pilates exercise group (p>0.05). Conclusions: Our results showed that Pilates-based training benefit and suggest potential particular benefits in terms of postural stability in patients with schizophrenia. Pilates exercise can be added to the rehabilitation program of schizophrenia patients as a safe and effective method. Future research should include comparative exercise groups in order to determine any particular advantage to Pilates-based training in schizophrenia.

Emine Avşar Aydin,Emine Avşar Aydin 대한전기학회 2019 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.14 No.5

The most common type of cancer for a female is breast cancer in the world. Regular checks and effective-timely treatment are noteworthy parameters for patients’ survival struggle . Against existing imaging methods, microwave imaging method has been considered more powerful and effective method by many researchers. In this paper, comprehensive design equations and parameters of rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) are given for microwave breast cancer detection. The layered breast model with a spherical tumor that was placed into the fibro-glandular layer was created by using CST Microwave Studio Software, and it was embedded in canola oil to decrease the distorted signals between the transmitting and receiving antennas. The RMPA has a wideband performance from 3 to 18 GHz. The simulation results show that differences in the electric field and reflection coefficients might more efficiently give a possibility to assign the tumor in the breast model. In addition, in this study, the data obtained from these experiments are classified by using the random forest algorithm from the data mining methods. According to the classification result, the random forest algorithm can diagnose breast cancer by classifying the tumor as 94% accuracy.

Artıstıc studies on desıgn development wıth fabrıc scrapsın the context of sustaınable fashıon

Emine KOCA 복식문화학회 2019 服飾文化硏究 Vol.27 No.6

The process of clothing production creates waste and scrap, which creates environmental, economic, and ethical issues. With this in mind the concept of ethical and sustainable fashion is discussed on many platforms as an important and timely topic. Many solutions have been presented on this subject. For the solution of this problem which has been increasing in the fashion and textile industry, the usage of sustainable materials and production methods is needed. There in a ‘recyclable material cycle’ should be adapted, instead of a ‘traditional material cycle’. New methods and techniques should be developed with multi-disciplinary design approaches to produce creative and high value-added products in the name of fashion and sustainability. This is seen as one of the more effective solutions. This study aims to show that production scraps can be transformed into timely clothing designs with samples. The fabric scraps from different brands were turned into unique clothing designs with up to date trends by designer. In the practices completed while following the design process, collage and patchwork techniques were applied depending on the characteristics of the scrap fabric, artistic figures were hand-stitched onto the design. With this study, the scraps that get thrown into dumping grounds and damage the ecosystem can turn into ethical and economic benefits for the manufacturer. How to choose new high value-added products and create an awareness of social responsibility is also shown with examples in this study.

Emine Burcu Turgay,Melike Bak r,P nar Özeren,Yakup Zekai Kat rciog˘ lu,Salih Maden 한국식물병리학회 2010 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.26 No.4

The pathotypes of Cercospora beticola, causal agent of sugar beet leaf spot disease, were identified by application of pathogenicity test using 100 isolates obtained from the provinces with intensive sugar beet cultivation. For the identification of pathotypes, five sugar beet cultivars were used each with different resistance factors. Cultivar reactions were determined by inoculation of cultivars with the isolates under controlled conditions and measuring disease severity on the 15th day according to the 1-9 KWS Scale. Based on the reactions of the five cultivars, a total of 15 pathotypes were detected. All employed sugar beet cultivars were resistant to Pathotype no:1 comprising most of the isolates. Genetic diversity of the causal agent was characterized by AFLP reaction. The products acquired at the end of AFLP reaction were detected by means of Beckman CEQ 8800DNA Capillary Series Analysis and the results obtained were evaluated according to the similarity index UPGMA. For the genetic analysis of C. beticola isolates,9874 polymorphic fragments of sizes between 100 and 500 bp were analysed which were generated by nine primers. The dendrogram derived from AFLP analysis depicted the existence of five different subgroups. The polymorphism rate among isolates was 91.13% and the dendrogram distribution of the pathotypes obtained by pathogenicity indicated that pathotypes were not discriminated and did not compose any groups.

Modelling coupled density-dependent flow and solute transport with the differential quadrature method

Emin Ciftci 한국지질과학협의회 2017 Geosciences Journal Vol.21 No.5

The salt water intrusion phenomenon endangering the groundwater sources, particularly in coastal aquifers, is modeled by the coupled density-dependent flow and solute transport equations. This study focuses on the solution of these interdependent equations by means of the polynomial based Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). The Lagrange interpolation polynomials were selected as basis functions to obtain weighting coefficients for approximating the spatial derivatives and the 4-stage, 4th order Strong Stability Preserving linear Runge Kutta (SSP-RK) algorithm was employed as the time integrator. Two well-known benchmark cases; Henry and Elder problems were examined to test the accuracy and the reliability of the proposed numerical model. Apart from these theoretical benchmark problems, the numerical model was tested with real experimental data from a laboratoryscale study in the literature. The DQM model was observed to provide stable and highly precise results regarding the current semianalytical and numerical solution schemes.

Polymeric photoinitiators are widely used in ultraviolet (UV)-curable printing inks because of their low migration behavior. In this study, a new phenylphosphine oxide-polystyrene-thioxanthone (PPO-PSt-TX) polymeric photoinitiator was synthesized. Bis[(4-hydroxy)phenyl]phenyl phosphine oxide (BHPPO) that was synthesized by Grignard technique, was functionalized with 2-bromopropionyl bromide (atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator) and then used in styrene polymerization. The bromine end-capped polystyrene was then reacted with 2-thioxanthone-thioacetic acid and final polymeric photoinitiator PPO-PSt-TX was obtained. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), attenuated total reflectance- Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) confirmed the obtained structure. The curing characteristic of PPO-PSt-TX was compared with a standard flexographic printing varnish formulation containing thioxanthone (TX). The photopolymerization kinetics were determined by photo differential scanning calorimetry (Photo-DSC). The conversion of methylmethacrylate polymerization by using macrophotoinitiator is 78%. The migration behavior of PPO-PSt-TX was identified with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). It was shown that PPOPSt- TX macro photoinitiator is suitable for flexographic varnish and the migration level of photoinitiator is reduced by using polymeric photoinitiator.
