01 (0.50, 1.75), 0.46 (0.21, 084) and 0.26 (0.12, 0.46), giving an average bias of 0.6, 0.4 and 0.0, respectively in NGSP % unit. For eHbA1c and GMI, only 25% and 54% of subjects were within ±0.5% of laboratory HbA1c values, while 82% of cHbA1c were within ±0.5% of laboratory HbA1c results. Conclusions Our data show the superior performance of cHbA1c compared with eHbA1c and GMI at reflecting laboratory HbA1c. These data indicate that cHbA1c can be potentially used instead in laboratory HbA1c, at least in younger individuals with T1D.Astrobiology is focused on the study of life in the universe. However, lifeless planetary environments yield biological information on the variety of ways in which physical and chemical conditions in the universe preclude the possibility of the origin or persistence of life, and in turn this will help explain the distribution and abundance of life, or lack of it, in the universe. Furthermore, many places that humans wish to explore and settle in space are lifeless, and studying the fate of life in these environments will aid our own success in thriving in them. In this synthetic review, I have three objectives, as follows (1) To discuss the biological value and use of lifeless environments, (2) To explore the diverse planetary bodies and environments that can be lifeless and to categorize them, and (3) To propose sets of biological experiments that can be undertaken in different categories of lifeless worlds and environments and suggest concepts for mission ideas to realize these goals. They include origin of life and microbial inoculation experiments in lifeless but habitable environments. I suggest that the biological study of lifelessness is an underappreciated area in planetary sciences.Our purpose in this study is to explore the effect that increases in the Syrian refugee population could have on public maternal and child health outcomes. Data collected from official records from 81 Turkish provinces in 2018, and then, subjected to mediating analysis using a path analytic approach to examine the interrelationships between the Syrian population, adolescent marriage, and economic integration factors on refugee maternal and child health outcomes. An increase in the Syrian population would lead to a rise in adolescent birth rates and under-5 mortality under the mediating effect of an increase in adolescent female marriage.Aim/Background Assessment of current role and future trends of Single-Incision-Pediatric-Endoscopic-Surgery (SIPES) in pediatric surgery among International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (IPEG) members two decades after introduction. Materials and Methods An online survey was conducted between December 2019 and April 2020 on behalf of the IPEG Research Committee. All IPEG members were contacted by e-mail and asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire that included 39 items on SIPES. Results One hundred eighty-four practicing pediatric surgeons completed the questionnaire from a pool of 890 IPEG members. The majority (76%) of respondents performed SIPES for more than 6 years with the following caseload per month 1 case (31%), 2-5 cases (30%), 6-10 cases (24%), and >10 cases (17%). The four most commonly performed procedures were appendectomy (95%), Meckel diverticulectomy (55%), treatment of ovarian pathologies (43%), and U-stitch gastrostomy (40%). Complex reconstructive SIPES procedures were performed rarely. Most surgeons (95%) stated that better cosmesis is the predominant advantage of SIPES procedures. The majority of respondents (70%) felt that there is no convincing scientific evidence that SIPES offers benefits to multi-port minimally invasive procedures. Conclusion Twenty years after introduction of SIPES, this technique has found its place in pediatric endoscopic surgery. Eighty percent of participating IPEG members of this survey apply SIPES for cases of lower complexity, such as appendectomy mainly for cosmetic reasons. The fact that 70% of respondents state that
