Association of the pituitary gland height with variant sella morphology in children
No full textPurpose To analyze the relationship of the height of the pituitary gland (HPG) with the heights of the dorsum sellae (HDS) and tuberculum sellae (HTS) on pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) views. Methods MRI slices of 180 healthy children (100 males and 80 females) aged 1-18 years were included in the study. Results Average HPG, HTS and HDS values were determined as 6.66 +/- 1.58 mm, 10.97 +/- 1.99 mm, 13.62 +/- 2.67 mm, respectively. No statistically significant difference was determined between the measurements in term of sex. All parameters correlated with pediatric ages. HPG increased up to the prepubescent period, and decreased after this period (p 10 mm. There was no child with HPG/HDS > 1 or HPG/HTS > 1. Conclusion This work provided three substantial additions to the literature as follows: (a) all pediatric HPGs were distinctly smaller than HDSs and HTSs, (b) some children (3.33%) at puberty (age range: 10-14 years), regardless of sex, might have a HPG > 10 mm, even though there was no pathology at the pituitary gland, and (c) to our knowledge, this retrospective MRI examination evaluated the relation of HPG with variant sella morphology in normal children for the first time in the literature

The environmental and economic impacts of defence expenditures: An empirical investigation for ürki·ye
No full textAskeri harcamalar bir ülkenin güvenliği için zaruridir ancak bu harcamaların ekonomik ve çevresel etkileri bulunmaktadır. Askeri harcamalar ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisi geçmişte iktisatçılar tarafından yaygın olarak analiz edilmiş, bu harcamaların çevresel etkileri ise genellikle karbon emisyonları üzerinde değerlendirilmiştir. Ancak karbon emisyonları çevresel sorunların sadece talep yanını göstermekte ve arz yönünü ihmal etmektedir. Bu ihmali önlemek için bu çalışma askeri harcamaların yük kapasitesi faktörü üzerindeki etkilerini Türkiye için 1985-2022 döneminde analiz etmektedir. Yük kapasitesi faktörü küresel hektar alan olarak hem insanlığın çevreye verdiği zararı hem de bu zararı doğanın karşılama gücünü yansıtmaktadır. Bu nedenle askeri harcamaların yük kapasitesi faktörü üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi daha kapsamlı bir çevresel analize imkan tanımaktadır. Çalışma ampirik analiz için Johansen-Juselius eşbütünleşme testi, tam modifiye edilmiş en küçük kareler yaklaşımı ve kanonik eşbütünleşme regresyonu (CCR) tahmincisini kullanmaktadır. Ampirik analizin sonuçları petrol tüketiminin ekonomik büyümeyi desteklediğini, askeri harcamaların ise ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumsuz bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, askeri harcamalar ve ekonomik büyüme yük kapasitesi faktörünü azaltarak çevresel kaliteyi olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Jeopolitik riskin ise ekonomik büyüme ve yük kapasitesi faktörü üzerinde herhangi anlamlı etkisi bulunmamaktadır. Bu bulgular askeri harcamaların hem çevre hem de ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumsuz etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Türkiye bu bulguları dikkate alarak askeri sektör alanında çevreci uygulamaları teşvik etmelidir.Military spending is essential for a country's security, but this spending has economic and environmental implications. The relationship between military spending and economic growth has been extensively analyzed by economists in the past, and the environmental impact of this spending has generally been assessed in terms of carbon emissions. However, carbon emissions only show the demand side of environmental problems and neglect the supply side. To prevent this neglect, this study analyzes the effects of military expenditures on the load capacity factor for Türkiye in the period 1985-2022. The load capacity factor reflects both the damage caused by humanity to the environment as a global hectare area and the ability of nature to compensate for this damage. Therefore, assessing the effects of military spending on the load capacity factor allows for a more comprehensive environmental analysis. The study uses the Johansen-Juselius cointegration test, the fully modified least squares approach and the canonical cointegration regression (CCR) estimator for the empirical analysis. The results of the empirical analysis show that oil consumption supports economic growth, while military expenditure plays a negative role for economic growth. In addition, military spending and economic growth have a negative impact on environmental quality by reducing the load capacity factor. Geopolitical risk has no significant impact on economic growth and load capacity factor. These findings show that military spending has a negative effect on both the environment and economic growth. Türkiye should consider these findings and promote environmentally friendly practices in military sector
Tunable water vapor adsorption properties on ion exchange microporous zeolite Na-X derived from natural kaolin
No full textThe adsorption of water vapor on K+, Ca2+and Mg2+ exchanged zeolite Na-X is studied by gravimetric method. As reported by previous studies, the samples were modified by impregnation and characterized by physicochemical and thermal analysis methods. The analysis of the X-ray fluorescence data obtained on the samples confirmed the effectiveness of cation exchange. XRD, FTIR, SEM, and NMR analyses show good zeolite structure and texture conservation after ion exchange. It is determined that the Na-X zeolite had a BET surface area, SBET, of 764 cm2/g and pore volume of 0.39 cm3 /g when nitrogen (N2) was adsorbed at 77 K. After the ion exchange, these values decreased to 0.11 cm3/g and 211 cm2/g for the zeolite exchanged with K+ ions, 0.25 cm3/g and 482 cm2/g for that exchanged with Mg2+ ions, and 0.23 cm3/g and 433 cm2/g for that exchanged with Ca2+ ions. Water vapor adsorption properties were evaluated by dynamic vapor sorption highlighting the dependence of this process on the nature of the compensating cations. This exothermic process experiences a significant improvement when the zeolite is exchanged with Mg2+ and Ca2+ cations. The differences between the adsorption capacities of the samples are mainly due to the location, size, and charge of the zeolite X extraframework cations. Experimental data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Toth, and Dual-site Langmuir (DSL) isotherm models. The coefficient of determination (R2) and the chi-square error (X2) were used to estimate the accuracy of the data obtained from these isothermal models. According to error function results, it can be seen that all five models fit the experimental data well depending on the temperature. The mean isosteric enthalpy of adsorption values for the various samples are -123.93, -280.22, -36.55 and -29.35 kJ/mol for Zeo-Na-X, Zeo-K-X, ZeoMg-X and Zeo-Ca-X, respectively. As a result of examining the reusability of magnesium zeolite, it was seen that the material was reusable even after being used 5 times
UNKNOWN BAHR-I TAVÎLS IN CLASSICAL TURKISH LITERATURE-3: FEHMÎ, ŞEHRÎ AND İHSÂN’S BAHR-I TAVÎLS
No full textKlasik Türk edebiyatında sözlerin kalıplara dökülmesine vesile olan birçok nazım şekli bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de kendine has birtakım özelliklere sahip olan ve sınırlı sayıda örneği bulunan bahr-ı tavîllerdir. Genellikle âşık ile maşuk arasındaki ilişkilerin ele alındığı bu nazım şeklinin en bariz özellikleri mensur metinlere benzemesi, secili anlatımın ağır basması, diğer nazım şekillerine göre daha sade bir dille ve genellikle aruz veznindeki fe‘ilâtün tef’ilesinin art arda tekrarıyla yazılmasıdır. Edebiyatımızda 15. yüzyıldan 20. yüzyıla kadarki her dönemde bahr-ı tavîl örneklerine rastlanmaktadır. Şimdiye kadar yapılan bazı akademik çalışmalarda kırk civarında bahr-ı tavîlin varlığı ortaya konmuş olsa da çeşitli vesilelerle yapılan eser taramaları neticesinde yeni örnekler tespit edilerek toplam sayı yetmişin üzerine çıkarılmıştır. Bu çalışmada yeni tespit edilen örneklerle birlikte bahr-ı tavîllerin toplu bir listesi oluşturularak edebî kaynaklarda hakkında çok az bilgi verilen bu nazım şeklinin sahip olduğu şekil ve muhteva özellikleri hakkında birtakım çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur. Akabinde şimdiye kadar yapılan çalışmalarda haberdar olunmayan Fehmî, Şehrî ve İhsân’ın üç yeni bahr-ı tavîli şekil ve muhteva bakımından tahlile tabi tutulmuş ve bunların çeviri yazılı metinlerine yer verilmiştir.In classical Turkish literature, there are numerous verse forms that have enabled the structuring of words into fixed patterns. One of these is bahr-ı tavîl, which possesses unique characteristics and is represented by a limited number of examples. This verse form, which generally addresses the relationship between the lover and the beloved, is most notably characterized by its resemblance to prose texts, its use of rhymed prose (seci), a comparatively simpler language than other verse forms, and its composition predominantly through the repeated use of the fe‘ilâtün foot of the aruz meter. Examples of bahr-ı tavîl can be found in every period of our literature from the 15th to the 20th century. Although some academic studies to date have identified around forty bahr-ı tavîl texts, recent surveys of literary works conducted for various purposes have uncovered new examples, increasing the total number to over seventy. In this study, a comprehensive list of bahr-ı tavîls has been compiled, including newly identified examples, and certain inferences have been made about the formal and thematic features of this verse form, which has received limited attention in literary sources. Subsequently, three previously unknown bahr-ı tavîl texts by Fehmî, Şehrî and İhsân have been analyzed in terms of form and content, and their transliterated versions have been included

Efficient Electrochemical Oxidation of Methylene Blue in Wastewater Using Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 Anodes: An Engineering Perspective
No full textIn this research work, the Ti/SnO2-Sb interlayer was successfully prepared via the hydrothermal synthesis method. Subsequently, the outer PbO2 coating was fabricated through electrodeposition technology, resulting in the desired Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode. Characterization of the electrode's morphology revealed that it is entirely covered by beta-PbO2 particles, resulting in an increased surface area. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode exhibits superior performance compared to the Ti/SnO2-Sb electrode, with enhanced electron transfer efficiency and a greater capacity for generating active species. In degradation experiments using the Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode, the degradation rate of MB exceeded 90% within 40 min, underscoring the electrode's high efficiency. The optimal reaction conditions for the Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode were determined through an optimization model constructed via response surface methodology (RSM). A reaction time of 52 min was found necessary, along with an electrode plate spacing set at 2.2 cm and a current density maintained at 48 mA cm(-2). Under such parameters, the removal rate of MB achieved by the Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode reached as high as 92.73%. From the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra analysis, singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) and superoxide radicals (O-2(-)) were identified as the dominant active species produced by the Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 anode
