Objective: Increased femoral anteversion (IFA) is defined as the anterior rotation of the femoral head in relation to the transcondylar axis of the knee. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of IFA in healthy developing children and to investigate the effects of IFA on dynamic balance. Methods: School screening was conducted on 315 school-age children (6-14 years old, mean 9.9 ± 2 years), and IFA was determined in 26 children. From the same sample, 36 children with no IFA were selected as the control group. Data obtained from the Y balance test, handgrip strength with a digital dynamometer, IFA according to the Craig’s test, and joint hypermobility according to the Beighton score were compared between the groups. Independent sample t-test and Pearson’s correlation test were used in the statistical analysis. Results: This study was carried out on a narrow universe of children mean aged 9.9 ± 2 years, and the incidence of IFA was determined as 8.3%. The Y balance scores were found to be higher in the IFA group than in the controls (P=.049 right, P=.027 left). There was no correlation between Craig’s test and the Y balance test results (r=0.04). No difference was found between the groups for muscle strength and joint hypermobility scores associated with balance. Conclusion: Balance may not be one of the causes of frequent falls in children with IFA. Further studies are needed to further examine the biomechanical causes of falls, as studies to improve balance may not provide sufficient benefit to prevent fall-related trauma and injury in children with IFA. © 2024 AVES.

Examining the Effects of Forest Fires: A Framework for Integrating System Dynamics and Remote Sensing Approaches
(IGI Global, 2024) Eriş, Müjgan Bilge; DEMİREL, DUYGUN FATİH; Sezer, Eylül Damla Gönül
Forest fires have been a major concern for many countries over an extended period of time due to natural and human induced factors. In recent years, detection of forest fires has progressively shifted toward advanced technologies where the remote sensing approaches are fully operational. To enhance fire management strategies, it is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of the fire dynamics and its consequences on the environment, operational sources, and economic sectors. Therefore, this chapter develops an integrated framework to predict and analyze the effects of forest fires by using system dynamics approach and remote sensing technology, ultimately leading to the establishment of a conceptual model and conclusive insights. © 2024, IGI Global.

q-Analog of Prestarlike Functions
(Springer International Publishing, 2024) Verma, Sarika; Kumar, Raj; Ahuja, Om P.; ÇETİNKAYA, ASENA
We introduce a class Rαq of q-prestarlike functions of order α by using q-difference operator. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions involving convolution for functions to be in the class Rαq. We prove that the well-known class of analytic prestarlike functions, Rα, is properly contained in Rαq. Apart from finding bounds on some initial coefficients of functions in the class Rαq, we also investigate some convolution properties of functions in the class Rαq. The results of the present manuscript essentially generalize some well-known results in the literature. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Gebe Okulu Eğitimcilerinin Gözüyle Endokrin Bozucular: Nitel Bir Çalışma
(Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2024) MİRAL, MUKADDES TURAN; Siyahtaş, Gamze Fışkın
Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı gebe okulu programlarında eğitimci olarak görev alan ebe ve hemşirelerin endokrin bozucular konusundaki bilgi ve tutumlarını incelemektir.
Yöntem: Fenomenolojik tipte tasarlanan araştırmanın evreni, İstanbul ilindeki gebe okulu programlarında eğitimci olarak görev yapan 44 ebe/hemşireden oluşmuştur (N=44). Ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak örneklem veri doygunluğu takip edilmiş ve doygunluk sağlandığında veri toplama işlemi tamamlanmıştır (n=7). 13 Eylül 2021 tarihinde yapılan araştırmada, veriler odak grup yöntemi ile araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla toplanmıştır. Nicel veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analizler kullanılarak, nitel veriler ise içerik analiziyle değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Ebe ve hemşirelerin görüşme formuna verdikleri cevaplar doğrultusunda; endokrin bozucuların önemi, endokrin bozucular bilgisi, endokrin bozucular farkındalığı oluşturma ve gebe eğitimine entegrasyon şeklinde dört adet tema oluşturulmuştur. Prenatal dönem eğiticilerinin endokrin bozucuların öneminin farkında olmalarına rağmen konu hakkındaki bilgilerinin yetersiz olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların konunun prenatal eğitimlerde yer alması ve farkındalık geliştirilebilmesi için çeşitli önerilerinin bulunduğu saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Ebe ve hemşirelerin endokrin bozuculara yönelik çok fazla bilgilerinin olmadığı hatta kısmen yanlış bilgilere sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Eğitici eğitimlerinin içeriğine endokrin bozucularla ilgili konuların eklenerek bilinçlendirme çalışmalarının arttırılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
