Optogalvanic laser spectroscopy has been applied to measure the hyperfine structure of 12 spectral lines of Mn I in the wavelength regions of 660–645 nm and 933–911 nm. Experimental hyperfine structure constants A and B of the isotope 55Mn have been determined for seven levels of even and seven levels of odd parity. Additionally, a parametric analysis of the fine structure and the magnetic dipole hyperfine structure has been performed for the three even configurations 3d54s2, 3d64s and 3d7. Very large values for the ratio a3d10/a3d01 are found. Theoretical predictions for the magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constants A for all levels of the configurations 3d54s2, 3d64s and 3d7 are given.

Recent studies in medical anthropology have revealed that the human body and disease symptoms constantly vary depending on the genetic and sociocultural structure. The physician's personality traits and their variations due to the sociocultural structure are important for the practice of medicine. Prenatal sex hormones are associated with both personality traits and the length ratios (2D:4D) of the index and ring fingers of the hand. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between 2P: 4P ratio depending on sex hormones and positive-negative emotions in preclinical medical students. The height, weight, 2 nd and 4 th finger lengths of both hands and 2D:4D ratios of 493 students (199 males, 294 females) were determined. A questionnaire including the Positive-Negative Emotion Scale (PANAS) and the Five-Factor Personality Inventory Short Form (FFPI-S) with sociodemographic information was applied. The height, weight, body mass index values were significantly higher in men, and 2D:4D ratios were significantly higher in women (p<0.001). Negative correlation between the right hand 2D:4D ratio and Positive and Negative Emotion (r=-0.106, p=0.018; r=-0.087, p=0.052) and positive correlation between the FFPI-S (r=0.090, p=0.045) were determined. 2D:4D ratios of both hands positively correlated with the compatibility (r=0.126, p=0.005, r=0.091, p=0.043). Extraversion score was higher in 3 rd grade students (p=0.006 and p=0.002). Positive personality traits and emotion scores were higher in boys and 3 rd grade students. The awareness created by this study can help the physician to receive a better medical training compatible with their personality traits and to produce more effective treatment process in their expertise.

In this study, we aimed to provide an extended morphometric dataset regarding proximal and distal femoral geometry for anthropologists and orthopedists. Femoral morphometry was used for estimation of sex and age in forensic anthropology.Especially it is important in hip and knee arthroplasty from the surgical point of view. We studied a group of 120 (60 right, 60 left) dry femoral bones. 15 Linear and one angular anthropometric parameter were evaluated by using a digital caliper and goniometer. Measurement parameters; the femoral length, the length and width of femoral shaft, the circumference and vertical diameter of the femoral head, the circumference, width, anterior and axis lengths of the femoral neck, the length of intertrochanteric line, neck-shaft angle, the width, height and index of intercondylar notch, the width of medial and lateral condyles, and bicondylar width. Also, the femurs were subdivided into three groups according to the shape and index of intercondylar notch. There was no significant difference between the measurement values with respect to laterality (p>0.05). Femoral neck-shaft angle showed a significant negative correlation with the anterior and axis lengths of the femoral neck (r=-0.255, p=0.005; r=-0.190, p=0.038). Proximal femoral parameters except neck-shaft angle showed a strong positive correlation with each other. There was a positive correlation between the parameters of distal femur except for the width of medial condyle. We think that the obtained morphometric data can be used as a reference database for future anthropometric studies and may be useful for surgeons in terms of the design of hip and knee prostheses.
