Investigation of the cerebrospinal fluid system of children of different ages, especially pre-school and school periods of childhood, becomes essential, since the further development of the ...brain and its proper functioning depends on the way it functions. Considering the MRI indications of the elements of the cerebrospinal fluid system of children is important for the development of neurology and neurosurgery, it is necessary to consider gender differences in the brain size and structure.
Objective
To study the sex differences in the structure of the cerebrospinal fluid system in seven-year-old children.
Material and Methods
For the study, archival data on the sizes of the lateral ventricles of the brain of 120 children aged 7 (60 boys and 60 girls) were involved, in particular: 1) the length of the anterior horn; 2) the width of the anterior horn; 3) the length of the central part; 4) the width of the central part; 5) the length of the posterior horn; 6) the width of the posterior horn; 7) the length of the lower horn; 8) the anteroposterior size; 9) the distance between the anterior horns; 10) the distance between the posterior horns; 11) the length of the third ventricle; 12) the height of the third ventricle; 13) the length of the aqueduct; 14) the length of the fourth ventricle; 15) the height of the fourth ventricle. The studies were carried out using the method of magnetic resonance imaging. Quantitative indicators were assessed for compliance with the normal distribution using the KolmogorovSmirnov test. The accumulation, correction, systematization of the initial information were carried out in Microsoft Excel 2016. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 software (StatSoft Inc., USA). The results were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05.
Results
The data obtained in the study of the cerebrospinal fluid system in children during their pre-school period of childhood are indicators of the norm and can be used for diagnostic studies in the departments of radiation diagnostics. The bilateral asymmetry of the lateral ventricles of the brain in pre-school children, discovered during the work, is of crucial clinical significance. The morphometric indicators of the elements of the cerebrospinal fluid system should be considered by specialists in the study of brain neuroplasticity.
Conclusion
Analysis of the obtained in vivo encephalometric data indicates the presence of sexual variability of the brain and parameters of the structures of the cerebrospinal fluid.
Amaç: Sağlık kuruluşlarına çocukları için okul erteleme talebi ile gelen ebeveynlerin başvuruları son yıllarda artış göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada ebeveynlerin çocuklarının okula
hazır oluşu ile ilgili ...kanaatlerinin doğruluğu ve çocuk yetiştirme tutumlarının okul olgunluğuna etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 69-71 ay yaş aralığında olan 71 çocuk alınmıştır. Örneklem grubu hastaneye çocuğu için okul erteleme raporu talebi ile başvuran aileler ve
çocuklarından oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılara ait bilgiler “Aile Bilgi Formu”, çocukların okul olgunluk düzeyi “Metropolitan Okul Olgunluğu Testi (MRT)”, ebeveynlerin aile hayatı ve
çocuklarını yetiştirme tutumları “Aile Hayatı ve Çocuk Yetiştirme Tutumları Ölçeği (PARI)” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların MRT sonuçlarına göre 22’sinin okula hazır, 49’unun ise okula hazır olmadığı saptandı. MRT toplam skoru ile aşırı kontrolcü annelik (AKA) (p=0,011), ev
kadınlığını rolünü reddetme (EKRR) (p=0,019), karı-koca geçimsizliği (KKG) (p=0,003), baskı-disiplin (BD) (p=0,011) arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı. Çocukların
MRT skorları arttıkça, ebeveynlerden elde edilen AKA, EKRR, KKG, BD skorlarında azalma olduğu görüldü. Okula hazır olmayanlar da EKRR (p=0,032), KKG (p=0,026), BD (p=0,036)
alt boyutlarında ortalama ölçek puanlarının okula hazır olanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu saptandı.
Sonuç: Ailelerin görüşlerinin okul erteleme kararı için yeterli olmadığı görüldü. Olumsuz aile tutumları çocukların okul olgunluğu düzeyini azaltmaktadır. Ailelere çocuk
yetiştirme tutumlarına yönelik eğitim ve danışmanlığın okul öncesi süreçlerde verilmesi gerektiği kanaatindeyiz.
This research aims to investigate the effect of Montessori method on social competence and behaviors of 3.5-5 years-old-children on their emotion regulation skills. Sequential Explanatory Design, one ...of the mixed method designs, was used in the study. The study group of the research consisted of 55 children attending two independent preschools in Eskişehir. Personal Information Form, Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Inventory-Teacher and Parent Forms, Emotion Regulation Checklist and Parent Interview Forms for the Evaluation of Montessori Method have been used to collect the data. Friedman test used for data analysis. Post-hoc analysis with Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U were conducted to reveal the source of differentiation between the scores. It was determined that significant differences between Social Competence - Behavior and Emotion Regulation Skills sub-scale pretest and posttest mean scores of children in the study group. There are significant differences between the posttest scores of study and control groups.
This study was conducted to determine the current condition of interest corners and materials used in these corners in pre- school education institutions in Istanbul. The research suits a scanning ...model which was performed via filling out a survey form created by researchers in 74 pre-school classes of 25 different schools in 12 districts of Istanbul. It was seen in the study, where frequency distribution and percentage calculations were used in statistical analysis, that although playing house, library and music corners were highly available, number of materials used in these corners weren’t sufficient enough. Moreover, we observed that visual-audial, woodwork-joinery and computer corners were rarely used whereas water and sand corners weren’t available in any of the classes. The study has shown that despite materials of art were the most common ones, art corners weren’t the mostly seen corners in the classes. Temporary interest corners like jobs, new year, health and traffic were mostly available but tailoring and writing corners weren’t available in any of the classes. The most materials observed were related to health, writing and traffic corners, whereas the least materials observed were related to new year and grocery corners.
The way how pre-school teachers perceive their relationships they formed with their students, teaching beliefs regarding the profession and teachers' competencies to regulate their emotions are ...effective issues in order to enhance teacher-child relationships. The participants of this research were 94 Turkish pre-school teachers and 282 children, 142 of whom were boys and 140 of whom were girls. It has been found out the cognitive reappraisal strategy used by teachers for emotion regulation increased with positive relationship perception of teachers. A positive relationship was revealed between the scores of sensitivity and verbal participation and level of closeness perceived within the child-teacher relationship. Moreover, there were meaningful and positive relationships between the level of sensitivity and suppression of the expression and cognitive reappraisal strategies considering emotion regulation. It has been understood that teachers perceived the relationships with girls closer though, when it comes to boys, the perception of conflict was prominently much higher.
The aim of the present study is to examine illustrated storybooks depicting people with disabilities, in terms of their content and the type of disabilities they feature and to analyze the ...disabilities in the books that could be reached. The study was carried out in the survey design. Within the scope of the study, three largest bookstores in Ankara, Turkey and the websites offering online book shopping were surveyed and 234 illustrated story books were reviewed. Among these books, 30 illustrated storybooks, which depict people with disabilities, were included in the study. In order to examine the characters with illnesses and disabilities in the illustrated books, the study employed "the Checklist to be used for Analysis of Children's Literature that includes People with Disabilities used in Inclusive Education", which was developed by Blaska. Although some examples found by the study results were rather negative, there are still some illustrated storybooks that depict disability correctly and help children respect people with disabilities by providing them with appropriate understanding of people with disabilities and disabilities themselves. However, despite the increase, it was seen that the number of books in this field is not sufficient.
