The Turkish Version of a Personal Responsibility Scale for Chinese College Students: Adaptation and Validation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to carry out the Turkish adaptation study of the personal responsibility scale developed by Ren et al for Chinese university students and to examine the validity and reliability of the adapted scale. The original scale was developed to determine the personal responsibility levels of Chinese university students. This research is very important in terms of determining the personal responsibility levels of Turkish university students.

Small Garden, Big Impact: Emotional and Behavioral Responses of Visitors to a Rooftop Atrium in a Major Hospital.

Purpose: To measure hospital visitors satisfaction with a rooftop atrium and its resultant impact on the visitors behavioral intentions toward the healing garden, the hospital, and overall satisfaction with the hospital.

Background: There is a significant lack of empirical research that links the emotional and behavioral responses toward healing gardens and the hospitals providing them.

Methods: A purposeful sample of 96 visitors to the healing garden in the rooftop atrium of a surgery building in a major hospital in the Southeastern United States completed a survey based on Roger Ulrich's Theory of Supportive Gardens and the Stimulus, Organism, Response (S-O-R) paradigm.

Bone phenotype of the aromatase deficient mouse.

Estrogens are important for normal bone growth and metabolism. The mechanisms are incompletely understood. Thus, we have undertaken characterization of the skeletal phenotype of aromatase (ArKO) deficient mice.

CompAc information system for traditional Chinese medicine.

The paper presents a system developed for the assistance of diagnosis and treatment in alternative medicine, based on traditional Chinese methods. The system named CompAc, is a result of an interdisciplinary cooperation and is designed for the physician, specialist in acupuncture. The Compac system allows the determination of the type of energetic imbalance starting from the clinical picture of the patient and establishing whether an organ or any of the viscera are affected.

Bone has a sexually dimorphic response to aromatase deficiency.

Aromatase synthesizes estrogen from androgen precursors. To better understand the role of estrogen in skeletal metabolism and growth, we have assessed long bone growth and histomorphometry in aromatase-deficient (ArKO) mice. The age range for the animals was 5-7 months.
