We assumed that self-control capacity, self-efficacy, and self-esteem would enable students to keep attentional control during tests. Therefore, we hypothesized that the three personality traits would be negatively related to anxiety-impaired cognition during math examinations. Secondary school students (N = 158) completed measures of self-control capacity, self-efficacy, and self-esteem at the...

For the patients who visit outpatient clinics due to asymptomatic microscopic hematuria, cystoscopy has been looked upon as rather invasive compared to other diagnostic methods. We tried to elucidate the actual diagnostic value of cystoscopy in the initial evaluation of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria. We reviewed the results of cystoscopic examinations in 213 patients who visited our hospit...

In this study, the pollen morphology of allergic Dysphania botrys (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants (Amaranthaceae) taxon, which has a natural distribution within borders Eskişehir province, was investigated in terms and properties. Pollen grains D. are periporatae sphaeroidal shaped. As result microscopic examinations, A/B=1.06 μm (W), A (polar axis): 4.08 µm; B (Equatorial measured at 25.04 μm. Th...

for the purposes of this study, hydroxyapatite (ha)-al2o3-tio2 nanobiocomposites with significant mechanical properties, biocompatibility and capability to form surface apatite were fabricated by cold pressing and sintering. samples were examined for their compressive strengths. the results of compression experiments showed that sample a (50 wt.% tio2-30 wt.% ha- 20 wt.% al2o3) was superior com...

Sperm examinations may be useful in both clinical and research settings, for investigating male fertility status as well as monitoring spermatogenesis during and following male fertility regulation and other interventions. Among the possible causes of male infertility, defects of sperm morphology represent an important factor that may explain decreased fertilizing potential of sperm. The limits...

Background: Laboratory examination of urine (urinalysis) is crucial in establishing various diagnoses. Urine can be done through macroscopic examination, including color, clarity, and microscopic sediment (U-sed) chemical such as glucose. insoluble elements erythrocytes, leukocytes, epithelial cells, thorax, bacteria, crystals, fungi, parasites originating from the blood, kidneys, urinary tract...
