Addressing Violence Against Women with a Social Work Perspective in the Context of Relational Cultural Theory
No full textRelational cultural theory is one of the postmodern theories and emphasizes the importance of the quality of the relationships with other people in women’s psychological development. This theory is more widely accepted for its potential to bring about meaningful and sustainable change in cases of violence against women. By working with women who have been subjected to violence on the basis of relational cultural theory, women are supported to convey their experiences more easily and to establish healthy connections in their relationships. Empathy, with its emphasis on mutual empowerment and cooperation, provides an important basis for supporting women who have experienced violence. Studies show that relational cultural theory increases the resilience and empowerment of women who have been subjected to violence. In this context, this study includes the foundations of relational cultural theory and approaches and explanations in the context of violence against women from a social work perspective. The impact on women’s empowerment and healthy relationships is explained, as well as what needs to be taken into account in practice
Türkiye'de Hayvansal ve Bitkisel Üretim Endeksi ile Yük Kapasite Faktörü Arasındaki İlişki: LCC Hipotezi Üzerinden Ampirik Kanıtlar
No full textThis study aims to determine whether the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypothesis, is valid for T & uuml;rkiye through agricultural indicators. The original value of the study is that it is the first study to investigate the validity of the LCC hypothesis by considering both the supply and demand sides of the environmental balance with a focus on agricultural indicators. In this study, where annual data for 1974-2022 were used, the ARDL procedure and the Toda-Yamamoto causality test were applied because the variables were stationary at different levels. In addition, the Narayan and Narayan (2010) approach was adopted to avoid the problem of multiple linear connections in determining the validity of the LCC hypothesis. The model created within the scope of the study is cointegrated, and it has been determined that there is a long-term relationship between the load capacity factor and the per capita income, fossil fuel consumption, crop, and animal production index variables and that their linear combinations converge to the equilibrium point. The long-term coefficient of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita variable is higher than its short-term value. This finding reveals that the effect of per capita income on improving environmental quality is stronger and more pronounced in the long term. This result shows that the U-shaped LCC hypothesis is valid for T & uuml;rkiye. In addition, in the long term, the effect of the animal production index on environmental quality is positive, while the effect of fossil fuel consumption on environmental quality is negative. According to the causality test results, there is a unidirectional causality relationship from the crop production index to the load capacity factor; from the load capacity factor to the livestock production index, from the livestock production index to per capita income and crop production index, from fossil fuel consumption to the livestock production index. At the same time, there is a bidirectional causality relationship between per capita income and crop production index and between fossil fuel consumption and crop production index. These findings necessitate the establishment of policies that encourage economic growth and ensure ecological sustainability, as well as the holistic approach to agricultural and environmental policies. In this direction, it can be recommended to policymakers to encourage environmentally friendly, innovative, and sustainable agricultural and animal husbandry practices
Participation insurance and a research on the reasons why ındividuals prefer participation insurance
No full textYirminci yüzyılın ortasından itibaren dünyada islami finansal ürünler hızlı bir şekilde yaygınlık göstermeye başlamış; geleneksel finansal ürünlere alternatif olarak ve İslam hukukçularının tasvip ettiği bu ürünler özellikle müslüman coğrafyada cazip bir hâl almıştır. Katılım bankacılığının hızla yayılmasının ardından, alternatif bir islami sigortacılık sisteminin oluşması elzem olarak görülmüş ve geleneksel sigortacılık sistemine alternatif olarak katılım sigortacılığı sistemi kurulmuştur. İlk olarak Sudan’da (1979) kurulmasının ardından, sistem hızla yaygınlaşmış ve özellikle İslam coğrafyasında bir “katılım sigortacılığı pazarı” oluşmuştur. Hâlihazırda küresel çapta 47 ülkede 300’ün üzerinde katılım sigorta şirketi bulunmaktadır ve 2021 yılı itibariyle bu şirketlerin pazar payı 73 milyar dolar seviyesindedir. Türkiye’de ise 2009 yılında faaliyete başlayan sistem, 2021 yılı sonu itibariyle 5,5 milyar TL ile sigortacılık sektörünün toplam pazar payının % 5,2’sine ulaşmıştır. Önümüzdeki dönemlerde bu payın artması öngörülmektedir.
Bu çalışma, bireylerin katılım sigortacılığını tercih nedenlerinin belirlenebilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, rastgele seçilmiş olan mevcut ve potansiyel katılım sigortacılığı müşterileri çalışmaya dâhil edilmiş ve bireylerin katılım sigortacılığını tercih nedenleri araştırılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler AHP tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda elde edilen verilerin ışığında mevcut ve potansiyel katılım sigortacılığı müşterilerinin büyük çoğunluğunun (% 63,2) islami hassasiyetler sebebiyle katılım sigortacılığını tercih ettikleri sonucuna varılmıştır. Poliçenin fiyatı, satış kanalına olan yakınlık ve şirketin güvenilirliği hususlarının ise birbirine yakın sonuçlar göstererek katılım sigortacılığı müşterileri üzerinde, poliçe satın alma sebepleri arasında ikincil planda kaldığı görülmüştür.Since the middle of the twentieth century, Islamic financial products have become rapidly widespread in the world; As an alternative to traditional financial products and approved by Islamic jurists, these products have become attractive especially in the Muslim geography. Following the rapid spread of participation banking, the formation of an alternative Islamic insurance system was deemed essential and the participation insurance system was established as an alternative to the traditional insurance system. After it was first established in Sudan (1979), the system quickly spread and a "participation insurance market" was formed, especially in the Islamic geography. There are currently more than 300 participation insurance companies in 47 countries globally, and as of 2021, the market share of these companies is 73 billion dollars. In Turkey, the system, which started operating in 2009, has reached 5.2% of the total market share of the insurance industry with 5.5 billion TL by the end of 2021. This share is expected to increase in the coming periods.
This study was conducted to determine the reasons why individuals prefer participation insurance. In this context, randomly selected existing and potential participation insurance customers were included in the study and the reasons why individuals preferred participation insurance were investigated. The data obtained from the research were analyzed with the AHP technique. In the light of the data obtained as a result of the research, it was concluded that the majority of current and potential participation insurance customers (63.2%) prefer participation insurance due to Islamic sensitivities. It has been observed that the price of the policy, proximity to the sales channel and the reliability of the company show similar results and remain secondary among the reasons for policy purchases by participation insurance customers
Effects of Vitamin C Supplementation on Total Antioxidant Status, Inflammation, and Histopathological Changes in Aged Rats
No full textThis study aims to determine the effect of orally administered vitamin C (Vit C) supplementation on physiological and histopathological changes in aged rats of different genders. A total of 28 Sprague-Dawley aged male and female rats were randomly divided into four groups of seven animals per group. The study groups included the aged male control (MC), aged male with Vit C (MVC) (500 mg/kg vitamin C, orally) supplementation, female aged control (FC), and female aged with vitamin C (FVC) (500 mg/kg vitamin C, orally) supplementation groups. At the end of the study, which lasted 31 days, blood, brain, heart, liver, and kidney tissues were collected from rats under ketamine (87 mg/kg) and xylazine (13 mg/kg) anesthesia. The results indicated that although Vit C supplementation had no effect on serum Vit C levels, gender had an effect on serum Vit C levels (p 0.05). Vit C supplementation, without the effect of gender, significantly increased TNF-alpha levels in MVC groups compared to MC groups (p < 0.05), while it significantly decreased them in FVC groups compared to FC groups (p < 0.05). In addition, Vit C significantly reduced histopathological alterations in brain, heart, and liver tissues associated with aging, including oxidative stress and inflammation. In conclusion, it was observed that orally administered 500 mg/kg Vit C supplementation to old rats is not an effective way to increase the Vit C pool in the body, but gender has an impact on the blood Vit C concentrations.Afyon Kocatepe University Scientific Project Research Board, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey [19.

Funkcionalni Burrata sir oboga?en Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393: Uvid u proizvodnju, jedinstvene karakteristike i aromatski profil
No full textThe aim of this study was to improve the aromatic profile, functional attributes and extend shelf life by incorporating Lacticaseibacillus casei subsp. casei ATCC393 into Burrata cheese. Two-batches of cheese were produced; the probiotic-group (LC-BC), and the control-group (C-BC). The results revealed successful integration of this strain into Burrata cheese. The presence of L. casei was found to enhance the cheese environment, promoting its growth. This strain can be characterized by high productions of mainly ethyl-acetate and 2-heptanone compunds, and then acetoin, diacetyl, hexanoic-acid, and acetaldehyde compounds for Burrata cheese. The LC-BC, enriched with diacetyl, exhibited a creamy, slightly sweet, and buttery aroma, contributing to its distinct sensory profile. Consequently, the L. casei ATCC393 proved to be a valuable addition, enhancing the quality, sensory appeal, and shelf life of Burrata cheese. It was demonstrated that Burrata-Cheese is well-suited for probiotic applications, contributing valuable insights to the existing body of literature.Scientific Research Commission at Suleyman Demirel University [FYL-2020-8267]This work was supported from Scientific Research Commission at Suleyman Demirel University by Project no: FYL-2020-8267
Determination of Pomological and Chemical Properties and Molecular Docking Analysis of Crataegus orientalis and Crataegus orientalis subsp. orientalis Species and Subspecies in Sandıklı (Afyonkarahisar)
Full text linkThis study investigates the pomological, chemical, and molecular properties of Crataegus orientalis and Crataegus orientalis subsp. orientalis genotypes grown in the Sandıklı region of Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye. A total of ten genotypes were evaluated based on fruit dimensions, antioxidant activities, organic acid contents, and molecular docking properties. Pomological characteristics, including fruit width, length, and weight, were measured. The fruit weight ranged between 1.78 g-1 and 6.30 g-1, fruit width varied from 11.74 mm to 15.75 mm, and fruit length ranged between 13.26 mm and 23.18 mm, highlighting significant differences among genotypes. Chemical analyses revealed notable variations in antioxidant and phenolic contents among genotypes. The pH values ranged from 2.63 to 3.12, and DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed between 10.3% and 45.0%. Total phenolic content varied from 17.20 ?g GAE 100 g-1 to 49.70 ?g GAE 100 g-1, while total flavonoid content ranged from 63 mg CE 100 g-1 to 348 mg CE 100 g-1, demonstrating considerable diversity in antioxidant capacities among genotypes. Organic acid analyses also revealed significant differences in the levels of citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, and ascorbic acid. Citric acid content ranged from 86.14 mg 100 g-1 to 91.05 mg 100 g-1, while malic acid content was measured between 739 mg 100 g-1 and 821 mg 100 g-1. Succinic acid levels varied from 287.9 mg 100 g-1 to 301.7 mg 100 g-1, and ascorbic acid content ranged from 63.9 mg 100 g-1 to 70.25 mg 100 g-1. These organic acids were correlated with biological activities, contributing to the understanding of the potential therapeutic effects of these genotypes. Molecular docking studies assessed the potential interactions of ascorbic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and succinic acid with the human erythrocyte catalase enzyme. Simulation results indicated binding energies of -6.8 kcal mol-1 for ascorbic acid, -6.5 kcal mol-1 for citric acid, -5.1 kcal mol-1 for malic acid, and -4.9 kcal mol-1 for succinic acid. These findings highlight the richness of Crataegus genotypes in phenolic and flavonoid content, supported by their strong antioxidant activities. The strong interactions of compounds such as ascorbic acid and citric acid with the catalase enzyme suggest that these genotypes hold promise as natural therapeutic agents for treating oxidative stress-related diseases

Bu veriler, C. cymbalaria var. papillosa bitkisinin özellikle yaprak dokusunun yüksek fenolik içerik ve güçlü antioksidan kapasiteye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.In the present thesis study, the antioxidant properties and phenolic compound contents of methanol (MetOH) extracts obtained from the leaf and flower tissues of Campanula cymbalaria var. papillosa were comprehensively evaluated. The total phenolic content (TPC) in the leaf and flower MeOH extracts was determined as 54.39 mg GAE/g and 40.80 mg GAE/g, respectively. The total flavonoid content (TFC) was found to be 58.89 mg QE/g in the leaf extract and 33.54 mg QE/g in the flower extract. In terms of total antioxidant capacity, the leaf extract exhibited an ascorbic acid equivalent of 150.98 mg AE/g, while the flower extract showed 122.83 mg AE/g. The copper ion reducing capacity, measured by the CUPRAC method, was found to be 128.73 mg TE/g in leaves and 99.18 mg TE/g in flowers. The iron ion reducing capacity, determined by the FRAP method, was 63.24 mg TE/g in leaves and 61.79 mg TE/g in flowers. Additionally, the ABTS? and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the leaf and flower MeOH extracts were evaluated. The ABTS? activity of the leaf extract was 74.39 mg TE/g and the DPPH activity was 69.39 mg TE/g, whereas the flower extract showed an ABTS? activity of 50.03 mg TE/g and a DPPH activity of 54.99 mg TE/g. LC-MS/MS analysis using 53 standards identified 25 phenolic acids. Among the phenolic compounds, quinic acid was found in higher amounts in the flower tissue (54.418 mg analyte/extract) compared to the leaf tissue (38.253 mg analyte/extract). On the other hand, syringic acid was more abundant in the leaf tissue (19.615 mg analyte/extract) than in the flower tissue (11.868 mg analyte/extract). Tannic acid, astragalin, quercetin, naringenin, hesperidin, and kaempferol were detected only in the flower tissue. These data indicate that C. cymbalaria var. papillosa, particularly its leaf tissue, possesses a high phenolic content and strong antioxidant capacity
Use Of Logic Functions In The Diagnosis Of Hepatitis Disease Through A Web-Based Expert System Design: A Different Approach
No full text7th International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications-ICHORA -- MAY 23-24, 2025 -- Ankara, TURKIYEHepatitis disease is one of the most important health problems in the world. It is estimated that 1.3 million people worldwide die each year from viral hepatitis, one of the most significant causes of hepatitis disease, and that one out of every three people in the world has been infected with the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). In this study, a Web-Based Medical Expert System (WBMES) was developed to diagnose hepatitis disease using logic functions. The system has been developed to raise the awareness of hepatitis disease - which negatively affects individual and community health, and hinders productivity - and increase the rates of early diagnosis and reduce the negative effects on individuals and the community. To do this, a truth table was created that included nine symptoms of hepatitis disease and 512 rules (2(9) = 512). Within this scope, the 512 rules in the truth table were evaluated together with specialist doctors to create a rule base called the Medical Expert System (MES), and a web-interface was developed to access it. The system was evaluated using the Hepatitis Dataset obtained from the UCI Repository of Machine Learning Databases, and it was found that the system's evaluation success rate was 98.68%.Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc,Ted Universit
Local potentials for achieving sustainable development goals: qualitative evidence from local governments in Türkiye
Full text linkAlthough academia occasionally emphasises prioritising the local dimension in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the potential of local governments to contribute to SDGs accomplishment remains a relatively unexplored area within academic discourse. This study aims to elucidate the potential of local governments in achieving the SDGs with qualitative evidence from T & uuml;rkiye, conducting content analysis on strategic targets presented in a total of 382 strategic plans from 331 municipalities and 51 Special Provincial Administrations (SPAs) covering the years 2020-2024. Notable findings indicate a robust commitment from both local government types to SDG11, emphasising social and cultural life, urban environment, and liveability- a shared intent to enhance resident well-being. However, a substantial gender equality (SDG6) gap persists in both types, while SDGs (7, 12, 13, 14, 17) centred on clean energy, climate change, and sustainable production patterns reveal a weak mutual strategic orientation
Iran's role in the Ararat rebellions (1926-1930)
No full textTürkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarında başlayan Ağrı İsyanı, Türkiye-İran sınır bölgelerinde meskûn olan Celali, Milanlı (Gurusanlı), Haydaranlı, Şikak ve Harki Kürt aşiretlerinin destekleriyle geniş bir bölgeye yayıldı. İsyancılara destek veren bu aşiretler, Türk birlikleri tarafından takip edilince sınırı geçerek İran topraklarına firar ettiler. İran hükümeti, Türk hükümetinin bütün uyarılarına rağmen isyancıların sınırı geçmelerine sessiz kaldı. Bu durum Türkiye-İran arasında gerginliğe sebep oldu. Bir süre devam eden bu gerginlik, Türkiye’nin askeri operasyonları neticesinde isyanın bastırılmasıyla yumuşama sürecine girdi. 1932 yılında imzalanan antlaşma neticesinde ise iki ülke arasında gerginliğe sebep olan bu sorun çözüme kavuşturuldu.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1926 yılında Ağrı’da patlak veren isyandaki İranlı Kürt aşiretleri ile İran hükümetinin rolünü incelemektir. Çalışma ele alınırken arşiv belgeleri, dönemin gazeteleri ve telif-tetkik eserler dikkate alınmaya çalışıldı.The Ararat Rebellion, which started in the first years of the Turkish Republic, spread to a wide region with the support of the Celali, Milanli (Grusanli), Haydaranli, Shikak and Harki Kurdish tribes located in the Turkey-Iran border regions. When these tribes, which supported the rebels, were followed by Turkish troops, they crossed the border and fled to Iranian territory. Despite all the warnings of the Turkish government, the Iranian government kept silent as the rebels crossed the border. This situation caused tension between Turkey and Iran. This tension, which lasted for a while, entered a détente process with the suppression of the rebellion as a result of Turkey's military operations. As a result of the treaty signed in 1932, this problem, which caused tension between the two countries, was resolwed.
The aim of this study is to examine the role of Iranian Kurdish tribes and the Iranian government in the Ararat rebellion in 1926. Archival documents, newspapers of the period and copyright-reviewed works were tried to be taken into consideration while the study was being done
