The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of visual element and technology supported teaching upon perceived instructor behaviors by pre-service teachers. In accordance with this purpose, whereas the lessons were lectured without benefiting from visual elements and technology in a traditional way with the students included in the control group, in the experimental group, the lessons were lectured using visual elements and technology (PowerPoint, video, etc.) with the pre-service teachers included. In this research that was carried out using an experimental method, “Perceived Instructor Behaviors Scale” developed by Kara, İzci, Köksalan and Zelyurt (2015) was used as pre-application and post-application. According to the findings, visual elements and technology-assisted teaching caused pre-service teachers to perceive their instructors as calmer, more adequate and authoritative. When the probable negative effects of an authoritative instructor upon the students were considered, should sufficient and calm perception of the instructor be supported or should calmness and sufficiency of the instructor be preferred by avoiding technology-assisted teaching which makes the teaching process mechanic?

Abstract Background The denial of death in Western society deprives young people of the tools to derive meaning from experiences of death and dying. Literature shows that death education may allow them to become familiar with this topic without causing negative effects. This article describes the effects of a death education course with adolescents, wherein participants were given the opportunity to meet palliative doctors and palliative psychologists at school and in a hospice, where they were able to converse with the families of the dying. Methods This study used mixed methods and included an evaluation of a death education intervention with longitudinal follow-up of outcomes. The course involved 87 secondary school students (experimental group) aged between 16 and 20 years. We also recruited a control group of 76 similarly-aged students to observe differences. The variables we examined were: alexithymia, representation of death, value attributed to life and spirituality. These were measured with the following instruments: the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, the Testoni Death Representation Scale, the Personal Meaning Profile and the Spiritual Orientation Inventory, respectively. To better understand how the students perceived the experience, we asked the experimental group to answer some open-ended questions. Their answers were analysed through thematic analysis. Results The study showed that death education and the hospice experience did not produce negative effects, but rather allowed students to decrease alexithymia, improving their ability to recognise and express emotions. Thematic analysis revealed that all participants perceived the experience as very positive. Conclusions Our findings affirm that death education programs can be successfully implemented in high schools, and that they can usefully involve local hospices and palliative care professionals, especially physicians and psychologists.

To study the possibility and effectiveness of using succinylated gelatin (SG) for injecting endoscopic hemostasis. Material and methods. 70 albino non-linear rats. 0.5 ml of the solution has been injected into the anterior wall of the stomach with a syringe after laparotomy. A mixture of 0.9 % NaCl solution and epinephrine hydrothartrate (1.8 mg/1 ml) has been used in a ratio of 1:20 for the control group (35 animals). A mixture of a solution of SG (40 mg/1000 ml of injection water) and epinephrine hydrothartrate (1.8 mg/1 ml) in a ratio of 1:20 for the experimental group (35 animals). Right after the injection and in 1, 3, 6, 12 hours, after laparotomy, the stomach wall has been taken for histological examination, during which the thickness of the stomach wall (TSW) has been determined. Results. As soon as the injection has been given, the TSW in animals of both groups hasn`t differed significantly. The TSW has significantly increased in both of the groups, and the parameters of indicators in the experimental group have significantly raised in 1 h after the injection. In 3, 6, and 12 hours, the TSW in both groups has been decreasing. The parameters of indicators in the experimental group of animals have been significantly higher than in the control one all the time during the study. The indicators have barely differed from the initial ones in the control group 12 hours later, whereas in the experimental one they have been significantly higher. Histological studies have shown that the structure of stomach tissues in both groups hasn`t varied. The SG injection has not caused any negative effects on the tissues of the stomach wall. The thickness of the submucosa hasn`t been much modified right after the injection. The thickness (26.95±5.34 microns) has increased in the experimental group 12 hours later than in the control one (15.45±4.38 microns, p<0.01). Most of the vessels of the experimental group have remained compressed 12 hours later, whereas the diameter of the vessels of the control group has been growing. Conclusions. 1. The TSW hasn`t differed right after the injection (a mixture of 0.9 % NaCl and epinephrine solution and a mixture of SG and epinephrine solution) into the stomach wall. 2. 1 h later after the injection, the TSW has increased and its parameters after injection of a mixture with SG have been significantly higher. 3. In 3,6,12 h and later on, the TSW has been gradually reducing and its parameters after injection of a mixture with SG have been significantly higher each time. The thickness of the submucosa and the degree of compression of the vessels have also been considerably higher. 4. No negative changes in the structure of stomach tissues after injection of the mixture with SG have been detected. This allows it to be used for performing endoscopic hemostasis by injection therapy in clinical conditions.
