STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED
Student's t -test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and linear regression and Chi-square analysis were performed.
RESULTS
Players had significantly elevated levels of genetic damage. There were no gender differences and also no significant difference in the genetic damage incurred in both sports types. However, the extent of DNA migration in hockey players was higher.
CONCLUSION
Significantly increased genomic instability in players of both sports was observed. Both repaired and repairable genetic damage cells were observed in different tissues of the same subject. The presence of such genetic damage implies that these players are at an individual risk from cancer- and age-related diseases.Tur...
We have designed a Turkish dictation system for Broadcast news applications. Turkish is an agglutinative language with free word order. These characteristics of the language result in the vocabulary explosion, large number of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words and the complexity of the N-gram language models in speech recog...

OBJECTIVE
The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) has been implicate in many higher cognitive processes, as visuo-motor transformations, tool use or tool making. In subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at major risk to develop Alzheimer' Disease (AD) an impairment of subtle visuomotor or praxic abilities is a well-known clin...
METHODS
We explored of the association of alpha3/alpha2 power ratio with cortical size of IPL in patients with MCI. 74 subjects with MCI undergone EEG recording and MRI scans. Alpha3/alpha2 power ratio in addition to cortical size had been computed for each patient. Three MCI groups had been acquired in keeping with growing te...
RESULTS
Our results unveil the possible part that the IPL could play in determining the classic alterations of early Alzheimer's disease (AD).
CONCLUSION
Finally, the rise of alpha3/alpha2 power ratio detected a focused anatomo-functional association that could be a reliable marker of incipient AD.Supervision of International Narcotics Syndicates Through the Role of the Police as a Community Policing in Dealing with Narcotics Trafficking
