Coronaviruses silently circulate in human and animal populations, causing mild to severe diseases. Therefore, livestock are important components of a "One Health" perspective aimed to control these viral infections. However, at present there is no example that considers pig genetic resources in this context. In this study, we investigated the variability of four genes (ACE2, ANPEP and DPP4 encoding for host receptors of the viral spike proteins and TMPRSS2 encoding for a host proteinase) in 23 European (19 autochthonous and three commercial breeds and one wild boar population) and two Asian Sus scrofa populations. A total of 2229 variants were identi ed in the four candidate genes: 26% of them were not previously described; 29 variants affected the protein sequence and might potentially interact with the infection mechanisms. The results coming from this work are a rst step towards a "One Health" perspective that should consider conservation programmes of pig genetic resources with twofold objectives: i) genetic resources could be reservoirs of host gene variability useful to design selection programmes to increase resistance to coronaviruses; ii) the described variability in genes involved in coronavirus infections across many different pig populations might be part of a risk assessment including pig genetic resources.
COVID-19, en son keşfedilen koronavirüsün neden olduğu bulaşıcı hastalık olarak tanımlanmıştır. Ülkemizde COVID-19 pandemisi dolayısıyla okulların kapanmasıyla birlikte Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı tarından 23 Mart 2020'de ulusal düzeyde televizyon ve internet tabanlı bir müfredatla ücretsiz bir uzaktan eğitim sistemi başlatılmıştır. İlkokul, ortaokul ve lise düzeyinde tüm okullarda haftalık ders programları yeniden yapılandırılmış, EBA (Eğitim Bilişim Ağı) ile internet üzerinden ve televizyon ekranlarından gerekli telafi eğitimi desteği sunulmaya başlanmıştır. Covid-19 ile ilgili eğitim bilimleri ve sosyal bilimler alanında henüz yok denecek kadar az çalışmaya rastlanmaktadır. Eğitim bilimleri bağlamında yapılacak araştırmalara ışık tutabilmek bağlamında öğretmen adayların COVID-19 pandemi sürecine ilişkin farkındalıklarını ortaya çıkarmak önemli görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda yapılan bu araştırmanın amacı sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının COVID-19 pandemi sürecine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemektir. Bu araştırma kapsamında 72 sınıf öğretmeni adayının görüşü açık uçlu anket yoluyla alınmıştır. Tarama modeliyle yürütülen araştırmada veriler betimsel analiz tekniği ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmen adaylarının çocukların sağlıklarının öncelikli olması nedeniyle okulların kapatılmasını olumlu karşıladıkları ve bu süreçte hızla uzaktan eğitime geçilmesinden memnun oldukları sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada sınıf öğretmeni adayları, öğretmenlerin canlı dersler yaparak, telefonda mesaj ya da WhatsApp aracılığıyla yazışarak, öğrencilerini takip etmeleri ve gereken akademik ve psikolojik desteği vermeleri gerektiği görüşündedirler. Sınıf öğretmeni adayları, velilerin de çocuklarına yardımcı olması gerektiğini düşündükleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
More than 1.5 billion students and young people worldwide have been affected by school and university closings due to the COVID-19 outbreak. With the closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey, a free distance education system was launched by the Ministry of Education on 23 March 2020 with a national level television and internet-based curriculum. The opinions of the children who have just started primary school but whose school has been closed due to the pandemic in the spring term are considered to be necessary. The aim of this study was to determine the perspectives of 1st grade primary school (6.5-7 years old) students on the Coronavirus and its effects. In current study, the perspectives of 1st grade primary school students on Coronavirus and its effects were investigated. In this context, interview and document analysis techniques were used within the scope of qualitative research methods. A total of 16 primary school students from four provinces in different geographical regions of Turkey were included in the study to ensure maximum diversity. These students formed the working group of the research. In the study, semi-structured interviews and pictures drawn by students were used to reveal students’ perspectives on Coronavirus and the effects of the virus. In the research, semi-structured interviews were used for content analysis, and the pictures drawn were utilized for document analysis. In the study, it was assumed that 1st grade primary school students have the consciousness that Coronavirus has tremendous and adverse effects on human life and threatens health. it was concluded that 1st grade primary school students gained awareness about proper handwashing, using masks and gloves as a means of protection from Coronavirus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
