    Attitudes of students towards the English language in high schools
    (Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Kesgin, Nilüfer; Arslan, Mehmet
    The paper examined the attitudes of high school students towards the English language, the differences in the attitudes regarding their gender, educational status of their parents, monthly revenue of the students’ family, and the accommodation unit of the primary education school from which they graduated. A Likert-type scale was used to collect data. The instrument was validated and there liability coefficient was found to be 0.94. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and the Tukey HSD test were used in the analysis of data. Purposive random sampling was used to select 250 students from 7 high schools. The findings revealed that foreign language intensive high schools are better at the English language than other high schools. There is a meaningful difference between the attitude of working group to English language and gender, educational status of parents, and monthly revenue of students’ family, however, there is no meaningful difference in the accommodation unit from which they graduated. © Kamla-Raj 2015.

    The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase As Biomarkers For Neural Tube Defect
    (Erbil Karaman, 2023) Akyol, Mehmet Edip; Denizler Ebiri, Farika Nur; Taşpınar, Filiz; Yüksek, Veysel; Tuncer, Oğuz; Arslan, Mehmet; Taşpınar, Mehmet
    Neural Tube Defect (NTD) is one of the most common congenital malformations. It is crucial to determine the prognostic, predictive, or therapeutic genetic factors for prevent ing NTD. The formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an essential role in migrating neural crest cells. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a significant role in cell migration in ECM organization. The role of expressions and activation of MMP in NTD is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the roles of MMP-1, -2, and 9 gene expressions as biomarkers for NTD. Peripheral blood samples and NTD tissues were collected from 40 newborn babies diagnosed with NTD, which were also divided into subgroups based on pathology, and peripheral blood samples from only 20 healthy babies were taken for control. After total RNA isolation from blood and tissues, MMP -1, -2, -9 gene expressions were analyzed by Quantitative Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR). There was no difference between the control group and the NTD group in terms of MMP expressions in blood samples (p>0.05). A statistically significantly higher MMP-1 expression was found in Meningocele and Myeloschisis than in Encephalocele (p=0.014). A significant difference was found between the tissue and blood samples of the Meningomyelocele patient group regarding MMP-9 expression (p=0.019). There was no significant relationship between Ca2+, B12, and Folate levels, NTD, and MMP genes expressions (p>0.05). Even though MMP genes were not different between control and NTD groups, they were found to vary between different subgroups and can serve as biomarkers.
