    Abstract We investigate the links between corruption and compliance with social distancing during COVID-19 pandemic in America. Both theory and empirical evidence point to a corrosive effect of corruption on trust/social capital which in turn determine people's behavior towards compliance with public health policies. Using data from 50 states we find that people who live in more corrupt states are less likely to comply with so called shelter in place/stay at home orders. Our results are robust to different measures of corruption.

    Abstract We investigate the relationship between corruption and infant mortality in Turkey. Our study contributes to the literature in a couple of ways in terms of data and estimation method. First, we construct a novel index of corruption in Turkey based on the stories covered in a major newspaper between the years 1960 and 2010. Second, because we now annual data on corruption covering a period long enough, we investigate the integration properties of the data and estimate the cointegrating relationship between corruption and infant mortality using Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) and Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR). We find that corruption increases infant mortality in the long-run. Our results are robust to different specifications and estimation methods.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to examine prospective science teachers’ knowledge of and difficulties with the metric unit conversion. The participants of the study were 73 prospective science teachers. In this qualitative study, a measurement test with 14 questions was administered to the participants to examine their knowledge of and difficulties with unit conversion. The questions of the test were related to metric measurement units for length, area, volume, and mass, as well as to the knowledge of the approximate size of a body and some uses of metric units. For the first 11 questions, participants’ answers were evaluated as right or wrong. To examine the reasons lying behind their difficulties, their explanations on the past three open-ended questions were analyzed. The findings indicated that prospective teachers’ performance on unit conversion was not satisfying in general, and their major difficulties were mainly related to the conversion from gram into microgram, mg into g, ml into cm3, dm3 into mm3, gigameter into nanometer, mm2 into m2, and determining the relationship between centigram and dekagram. The implications for the field are discussed in light of the related literature.

    Abstract Reliability is the probability that a system or a product fulfills its intended function without failure over a period of time and it is generally used to determine the reliability, release and testing stop time of the system. The primary objective of this study is to predict and forecast COVID19 reliabilities of the countries by utilizing this definition of the reliability. To our knowledge, this study is the first carried out in the direction of this objective. The major contribution of this study is to model the COVID19 data by considering the intensity functions with different types of functional shapes, including geometric, exponential, Weibull, gamma and identifying best fit (BF) model for each country, separately. To achieve the objective determined, cumulative number of confirmed cases are modelled by eight Non-Homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP) models. BF models are selected based on three comparison criteria, including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), and Theil Statistics (TS). The results can be summarized as follows: S-shaped models provide better fit for 56 of 70 countries. Current outbreak may continue in 43 countries and a new outbreak may occur in 27 countries. 50 countries have the reliability smaller than 75%, 9 countries between 75% and 90%, and 11 countries a 90% or higher on 11 August 2021.

    Abstract Introduction: Leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is caused by a recessive mutation in the DARS2 gene and can be recognized by specific magnetic resonance imaging patterns.
    Case report: A girl who developed leg tremors at age 4 years was diagnosed at age 17 years with LBSL -after evolution of ataxia and sensory loss. Examination at age 29 revealed mild spastic gait, ataxia, and sensory loss, and she did not require assistance to walk.
    Conclusion: This report illustrates the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of a slowly progressive long-term course of childhood-onset LBSL.

    Abstract Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is known to be associated with metabolic bone diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate vitamin D and calculated free and bioactive vitamin D levels of type 1 diabetic patients and to evaluate the association with bone turnover markers.
    Method: This cross-sectional study includes 60 patients admitted to endocrinology outpatient clinic with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus and 60 controls. Weight, height and waist circumference were recorded and blood samples were taken for measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase (bone-ALP), c-telopeptide. Free and bioavailable vitamin D levels were calculated with formula.
    Results: Vitamin D levels of type 1 diabetic patients were significantly higher (p = 0.01). Parathormone levels of the group with vitamin D level under 20 ng/ml was significantly higher (p = 0.029). VDBP levels were similar in both groups. Correlation analysis of free and bioavailable vitamin D level with osteocalcin, c-telopeptide, bone alkaline phosphatase revealed only a weak significant correlation between free vitamin D and osteocalcin (r = -0.201; p = 0.028). A negative correlation was determined between 25(OH)D and parathormone levels (r = -0.294; p < 0.005). Serum osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase and c-telopeptide levels of control group were significantly higher.
    Conclusion: 25(OH)D levels of the study population was extremely low. The measurement of VDBP and calculated free and bioactive vitamin D levels did not show a better correlation with bone turnover markers according to 25(OH)D levels.
