    Initial Validation of the Turkish Version of the Defense Mechanisms Rating Scales-Self
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Yilmaz, Meltem; Tas, Berke; Celik, Deniz; Perry, J. Christopher; Tanzilli, Annalisa; Di Giuseppe, Mariagrazia; Lingiardi, Vittorio
    The Defense Mechanisms Rating Scales-Self Report-30 (DMRS-SR-30) was recently developed to add a self-report alternative to the assessment of defenses, reflecting their generally accepted hierarchical organization. In this study, we aimed to examine psychometric properties and factor structure of the Turkish language version of the DMRS-SR-30. The sample consisted of 1.002 participants who filled out a survey comprising the DMRS-SR-30, the Brief Symptom Inventory, and the Inventory of Personality Organization through Qualtrics. Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated a three-factor structure (CFI = 0.89, RMSEA = 0.05) that confirms the DMRS theoretical frame with a relatively acceptable fit. Defensive categories and total scale scores showed good to excellent reliability (alpha values ranging from 0.64 to 0.89). Correlations between defenses, symptoms, and personality functioning demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity. The individuals with clinically significant BSI scores (T-score >= 63) differed on the DMRS-SR-30 scores from the individuals in the non-clinical range. The Turkish version of the DMRS-SR-30 is a reliable and valid instrument to self-assess the hierarchy of defense mechanisms and overall defensive functioning. Moreover, the current study supports the validity of the tripartite model of defenses in a language and culture different from the origins of the DMRS and DMRS-SR-30.

    Quantitative Assessment and Objective Improvement of the Accuracy of Neurosurgical Planning Through Digital Patient-Specific 3d Models
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Hanalioglu, Sahin; Gurses, Muhammet Enes; Baylarov, Baylar; Tunc, Osman; Isikay, Ilkay; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Berker, Mustafa
    Objective Neurosurgical patient-specific 3D models have been shown to facilitate learning, enhance planning skills and improve surgical results. However, there is limited data on the objective validation of these models. Here, we aim to investigate their potential for improving the accuracy of surgical planning process of the neurosurgery residents and their usage as a surgical planning skill assessment tool.Methods A patient-specific 3D digital model of parasagittal meningioma case was constructed. Participants were invited to plan the incision and craniotomy first after the conventional planning session with MRI, and then with 3D model. A feedback survey was performed at the end of the session. Quantitative metrics were used to assess the performance of the participants in a double-blind fashion.Results A total of 38 neurosurgical residents and interns participated in this study. For estimated tumor projection on scalp, percent tumor coverage increased (66.4 +/- 26.2%-77.2 +/- 17.4%, p = 0.026), excess coverage decreased (2,232 +/- 1,322 mm2-1,662 +/- 956 mm2, p = 0.019); and craniotomy margin deviation from acceptable the standard was reduced (57.3 +/- 24.0 mm-47.2 +/- 19.8 mm, p = 0.024) after training with 3D model. For linear skin incision, deviation from tumor epicenter significantly reduced from 16.3 +/- 9.6 mm-8.3 +/- 7.9 mm after training with 3D model only in residents (p = 0.02). The participants scored realism, performance, usefulness, and practicality of the digital 3D models very highly.Conclusion This study provides evidence that patient-specific digital 3D models can be used as educational materials to objectively improve the surgical planning accuracy of neurosurgical residents and to quantitatively assess their surgical planning skills through various surgical scenarios.

    Numerical Simulation of Mixed Convection Squeezing Flow of a Hybrid Nanofluid Containing Magnetized Ferroparticles in 50%:50% of Ethylene Glycol-Water Mixture Base Fluids Between Two Disks With the Presence of a Non-Linear Thermal Radiation Heat Flux
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2020) Khan, Umair; Zaib, A.; Khan, Ilyas; Baleanu, Dumitru; Nisar, Kottakkaran Sooppy
    Ferroliquids are an example of a colloidal suspension of magnetic nanomaterials and regular liquids. These fluids have numerous applications in medical science such as cell separation, targeting of drugs, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. The hybrid nanofluid is composed by scattering the magnetic nanomaterial of more than one type nanoparticles suspended into the base fluid. It has different scientific applications such as heat dissipation, dynamic sealing, damping, etc. Owing to the vast ferrofluid applications, the time-dependent squeezed flow of hybrid ferroliquids under the impact of non-linear radiation and mixed convection within two disks was explored for the first time in this analysis. Here, the cobalt and magnetite ferrofluids are considered and scattered in a 50%:50% mixture of water-EG (ethylene glycol). The similarity technique is used to reduce the leading PDEs into coupled non-linear ODEs. The transmuted equations together with recommended boundary restrictions are numerically solved via Matlab solver bvp4c. The opposing and assisting flows are considered. The impacts of an emerging parameter on fluid velocity and temperature field of hybrid ferroliquids are examined through the different graphical aids. The results showed that the opposite trend is scrutinized due to the magnetic influence on the temperature and velocity in the case of assisting and opposing flows. The velocity augments due to the volume fraction of nanoparticles in the assisting flow and declines in the opposing flow, while the opposite direction is noticed in the temperature field.

    Environmental Strategies of Affect Regulation and Their Associations With Subjective Well-Being
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2018) Pasanen, Tytti; Repo, Veera; Hartig, Terry; Staats, Henk; Mason, Michael; Thompson, Catharine Ward; Korpela, Kalevi M.
    Environmental strategies of affect regulation refer to the use of natural and urban socio-physical settings in the service of regulation. We investigated the perceived use and efficacy of environmental strategies for regulation of general affect and sadness, considering them in relation to other affect regulation strategies and to subjective well-being. Participants from Australia, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, India, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden (N = 507) evaluated the frequency of use and perceived efficacy of affect regulation strategies using a modified version of the Measure of Affect Regulation Styles (MARS). The internet survey also included the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), emotional well-being items from the RAND 36-Item Health Survey, and a single-item measure of perceived general health. Environmental regulation formed a separate factor of affect regulation in the exploratory structural equation models (ESEM). Although no relations of environmental strategies with emotional well-being were found, both the perceived frequency of use and efficacy of environmental strategies were positively related to perceived health. Moreover, the perceived efficacy of environmental strategies was positively related to life satisfaction in regulating sadness. The results encourage more explicit treatment of environmental strategies in research on affect regulation.
