Get PDFThe aim of this study is to examine of the anxiety situations of catching the new type of coronavirus (COVID-19) in elite athletes. The research group consisted of individuals who actively exercise at the elite level. This study has parcipated 151 athletes. In order to measure the anxiety levels of the athletes, was used the New Type Coronavirus (COVID-19) Anxiety Scale (SYTKYKÖ) of the Athletes, whose validity and reliability analysis was performed by Tekkurşun Demir et al. (2020). The analysis of the data obtained was evaluated in the SPSS 23 package program. Athletes participating in the study were 99 (65.6%) team sports (football 26, basketball 7, volleyball 46, handball 20) and 52 (34.4%) individual sports (athletics 17, taekwondo 13, swimming 9, wrestling 9, tennis 4). The athletes participating in the study 73.5% stated that they exercise at home 7.9% stated that they did not exercise at all, 3.3% did exercise in the field and 15.2% stated that they exercised both at home and in the field. In study 42.4% of team athletes and 13.2% of individual athletes "The league should be registered as it is now", 9.9% of team athletes, 7.3% of individual athletes "should continue with the normalization process of the league and 13.2% of team athletes and 13.9% of individual athletes replied that “the league should continue at a later date and the competitions should be completed”. A significant difference was found at the p <0.05 level in the individual anxiety sub-dimension according to the team athletes and individual athletes. No significant difference was found in socialization anxiety scores. As a result; The vast majority of elite athletes state that the leagues should be vacationed or registered during the pandemic process and that it is necessary to exercise at home during this period. In addition, it was determined that the anxiety scores of those who expressed their opinion in the form of playing or registering the leagues at a later date, according to individual anxiety and socialization anxiety.

Bu çalışma elit sporcuların yeni tip koronavirüse (COVID-19) yakalanma kaygı durumlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya, elit düzeyde aktif olarak spor yapan 151 sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Sporcuların kaygı durumlarını ölçmek için Tekkurşun Demir ve arkadaşlarının (2020) geçerlilik ve güvenirlilik analizini yaptığı Sporcuların Yeni Tip Koronavirüse (COVID-19) Yakalanma Kaygısı Ölçeği (SYTKYKÖ) kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi SPSS 23 paket programında değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan sporcuların 99’u (%65.6) takım sporu (futbol 26, basketbol 7, voleybol 46, hentbol 20) ve 52’si (%34.4) bireysel spor (atletizm 17, taekwondo 13, yüzme 9, güreş 9, tenis 4) yapmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan sporcuların %73.5’i evde egzersiz yaptığını belirtmiştir. %7.9’u hiç egzersiz yapmadığını, %3.3’ü saha da egzersiz yaptığını ve %15.2’si hem ev de hem de sahada egzersiz yaptığını belirtmiştir. Takım sporcularının %42.4’ü ve bireysel sporcuların %13.2’si “lig şuan ki haliyle tescillenmeli”, takım sporcularının %9.9’u ve bireysel sporcuların %7.3’ü “lig normalleşme süreci ile birlikte devam etmeli” ve takım sporcularının %13.2’si ve bireysel sporcuların %13.9’u “lig ileri bir tarihte devam etmeli ve müsabakalar tamamlanmalı” şeklinde cevap vermişlerdir. Takım ve bireysel sporlara göre bireysel kaygı alt boyutunda p<0.05 düzeyinde anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Sosyalleşme kaygı puanında ise anlamlı bir farklılığa rastlanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak; elit sporcuların büyük çoğunluğu pandemi sürecinde liglerin tatil edilmesi veya tescillenmesi gerektiğini, bu sürede evde egzersiz yapılması gerektiğini belirtmektedirler. Ayrıca bireysel kaygı ve sosyalleşme kaygısına göre liglerin ileri bir tarihte oynatılması veya tescil edilmesi şeklinde görüş bildirenlerin kaygı puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir

Anthropometric measurements of the ventrogluteal injectıon area: A cross-sectional study
Get PDFResearch Problem / Aim: The ventrogluteal injection area is one of the areas most frequently used by nurses in intramuscular injection applications. The thicknesses of the subcutaneous tissue and the muscle tissue in this area are important for a safe injection. The aim of this study is the determination of the subcutaneous and muscle tissue thicknesses on the ventrogluteal injection area and the anthropometric data about it.
Method: The study has designed a cross-sectional study. 150 individuals who applied to the ultrasound unit of the hospital and accepted to participate in the study were included in the study. The ventrogluteal injection area was determined with the ‘’V’’ method by the researcher. The subcutaneous and muscle tissue thicknesses from the areas on the injection area and the areas 2 and 4 cm around the injection area were determined using the ultrasound device. Moreover, the relation between the anthropometric measurements of the individuals (height, weight, waist, hip and crista iliaca circumferences, distance between the large trochanter and crista iliaca and crista iliaca anterior) and the tissue thicknesses on the injection area were evaluated. The data of the research were evaluated with definitive statistics, ANOVA test and posthoc Tukey test, t test and correlation analysis. The p<0.05 value was accepted as statistically significant for all results.
Findings: The average subcutaneous tissue thickness in the injection area was determined as 15.44±8.01 mm and the average tissue thickness there was determined as 31.75±11.86 mm. The subcutaneous tissue thickness in women was found more than the subcutaneous tissue thickness in men. When the tissue thicknesses 2 and 4 cm around the injection area were analyzed, it was found that the area where the total tissue thickness was the least was over 2 cm (41.67±14.83) and over 4 cm (35.79±15.55) of the injection area. It was determined that the average total thickness 4 cm around the injection area was less than 38 mm in underwight individuals.
Conclusions: According to the results obtained from the study, the weight and body mass index of the individual should be considered in the choice of the injection area and the length of the needle to be used when the ventrogluteal injection area was used in intramuscular injections. Especially in obese individuals, longer needles can be preferred. Besides, it must be thought that there may be the risk of bone injury 4 cm around the injection area in asthenic individuals and individuals with normal weight. Moreover, since the individuals’ having a large waist and hip circumference is related to their subcutaneous tissue thickness, it is recommended that long needles should be chosen in these individuals
Does perceived self-regulation affect target commitment?
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived self-regulation levels on target commitment of secondary school students participating and no-participating in inter-school sports competitions. “General Information Form”, “Perceived Self-Regulation Scale (PSRS) and “Goal Commitment Scale (GCS)” were used to collect the data. The sample group consisted of 313 (male = 130, female = 183) students studying at secondary level. Pearson Moment Correlation test, Manova analysis and simple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. As a result of the analysis, the main effect of the variables of gender and participating in inter-school sports competitions was not determined to be statistically significant for PSRS and GCS. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that perceived self-regulation predicted the target commitment positively and statistically significant. Also, it was determined that there was a positive and significant difference between PSRS and GCS. In this study, it was determined that participating in inter-school sports competitions did not significantly affect perceived self-regulation and target commitment levels. It is recommended that the study should be applied to students who do regular sports and students who do not do regular sports

Turkish adaptation of Consumers’ Perceived Value of Sport Games Scale: Spor Karşılaşmalarında Tüketici Değer Algısı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe’ye uyarlama çalışması
Get PDFIn addition to competing with each other, sports teams must have the necessary operating income and reach a sufficient fan base in order to sustain their existence. It is known that the perceived value of these individuals, who are considered as consumers, is one of the most important factors in their loyalty to their teams. In this context, in order for sports marketers and managers to reach a strong fanbase, it is necessary to evaluate the perceived value of consumers as an effective parameter. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to introduce the Consumers’ Perceived Value of Sport Games Scale, which allows evaluating the perceived value of consumers with its multidimensional structure, to the Turkish literature. The research was carried out through analysis of Turkey 2018-2019 season Spor Toto Super League in the two sets of data received from 18 teams fans. Data were obtained from 254 participants for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and from 202 participants for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The EFA results showing that the factor loads of the items that load five different dimensions range from .46 to .87 and the CFA results showing that the RMSEA value is .081 and the other goodness of fit indices are among the acceptable values, showing that the structure tested in Turkish culture is consistent with the original scale. It was observed that the Cronbach alpha coefficients of the relevant sub-dimensions ranged from .83 to .89. As a result, it was understood that the measuring tool whose structure was tested was consistent with the original scale, and in line with the findings, the scale was also valid and reliable in Turkish culture.

Repetitions in art: Campbell’s Soup Cans: Sanatta tekrarlar: Campbell’s Çorba Kutuları
Get PDFRepetition or interpretation in art is based on very old times. Much earlier repetition than mechanical copying was often done for master-apprentice teaching or for eye-training purposes. Copying in the mechanical way allows the production of similarities, while copying in digital mode allowed more circulation and access of similarities. From the 20th century, the work of art has become more accessible. The artworks exhibited in various parts of the world, in museums and galleries, reach other artisans or art buyers who are miles away from them, or they are welcomed in their living spaces. The original was now in distribution with copies. A similar situation is both faster and more common today in the Internet age. A similar situation is both faster and more common today in the Internet age. Warhol, on the other hand, puts a consumption object in the art world, which does not deny mechanic reproduction, but already has a graphic design and copies with it. A soup box with thousands of copies is exhibited alone or with copies of it. It shows that art and life are intertwined or that he don’t reject the popular culture-consumption conception in their society in the age of living. The graphic design of soup boxes with thousands of copies has been repeated by Warhol and won the original with his signature in the art. These paintings are reproduced both by his contemporaries and by artists today. An artwork that is actually a copy, can it give the same effect when it is repeated? How do original, unique, copy, reappear in Campbell's Soup Cans? Why and how has Campbell's Soup Cans been repeated in art? In this research, these questions were tried to be answered through the works of the artists who recreated Campbell's Soup Boxes.

Özet
Sanatta tekrar etme ya da yorumlama çok eskilere dayanmaktadır. Mekanik yolla kopyalamadan çok daha önce tekrarlama çoğunlukla usta-çırak öğretisi ya da gözü eğitme amacıyla gerçekleştirilirken; mekanik yolla kopyalama benzerlerin üretilmesine, dijital yolla kopyalama ise benzerlerin daha fazla dolaşımına ve erişimine olanak sağladı. 20. yüzyıldan itibaren sanat yapıtı daha kolay ulaşılır hale geldi. Dünyanın çeşitli yerlerinde, müze ve galerilerde sergilenen sanat yapıtları, onlardan kilometrelerce ötede olan başka sanatçılara ya da sanat alıcılarına ulaşabildi ya da yaşam alanlarında karşılarına çıktı. Orijinal, artık kopyaları ile birlikte dağılımdaydı. Benzer durum, internet çağındaki günümüzde hem daha hızlı hem de daha yaygındır. Ancak Warhol tüm bunların ötesinde, mekanik kopyalamayı yadsımadan, hali hazırda bir grafik tasarıma sahip ve kopyaları ile birlikte dolaşımda olan bir tüketim nesnesini, sanat dünyasına sokar. Binlerce kopyası olan bir çorba kutusunu tek başına ya da onun kopyaları ile birlikte sergiler. Sanat ve yaşamı iç içe geçirir ya da yaşadığı çağda, kendi toplumundaki popüler kültür-tüketim anlayışını reddetmediğini gösterir. Binlerce kopyaya sahip olan çorba kutularının grafik tasarımı, Warhol tarafından tekrarlanarak, onun imzası ile orijinalik kazanmıştır. Onun çorba kutuları resimleri ise hem çağdaşları hem de günümüzdeki sanatçılarca tekrarlanmaktadır. Zaten kopya olan bir asıl, tekrarlandığında aynı etkiyi verebilir mi? Orijinallik, özgünlük, kopya, tekrar Campbell’s Çorba Kutuları’nda ne şekilde ortaya çıkar? Campbell’s Çorba Kutuları sanatta niçin ve ne şekilde tekrarlanmıştır? sorularına Warhol’un Campbell’s Çorba Kutuları adlı resmi ve bu resmi tekrarlayan sanatçıların yapıtları üzerinden cevap aranmaya çalışılmıştır
The study of the perceptions of internet and social media among adolescents and problematic use of internet
Get PDFThe adolescents’ perceptions of social media in relation with problematic internet use were examined in this study. The study group consisted of 209 students (113 girls, 96 boys), who were studying secondary schools in Istanbul. "Problematic Internet Usage Scale-Adolescent" and "Open-ended Questions Form on Internet and Social Networking Sites", were utilized by the researchers, and applied to adolescents in order to determine students' level of problematic use of the internet and their perceptions regarding social media. The analysis revealed that the adolescents who stated that they “needed” to use the internet had the highest level of problematic internet use. Significant age differences among adolescents with regard to meaning of internet pointed out how the internet played various purposes to individuals in various age groups. It has been determined that students in the 11-12 age group preferred to use the internet for "entertainment” purposes more than for other purposes. It was also found that the problematic use of the internet by these adolescents was associated with their opinions about their own academic achievements - specifically the participants who thought of themselves as "poor" students showed a higher use of the internet in correlation with high levels of negative consequences. 
A communication and participation-oriented model proposal for current urban transformation processes
Get PDFResearch Problem: Urban transformation planning policies, which have been the focus during the last decade in Turkey, have begun to progress with renewal of risky areas with the introduction of Law No. 6306. While it was stated that increasing the quality of life and social rehabilitation of area residents were targeted in transformations where neighborhoods are transformed into urban land, in fact, resident expectations were not met and the residents, who experienced dissatisfaction in the transformed environments that were not suitable for their lifestyles, left these areas or continued their lives in despair due to economic reasons. Ignorance of resident expectations in transformation process reduces their quality of life and only through participation the residents, who are the actors that experience the impact of transformation the most, could express their preferred lifestyle. Aim: The present study aimed to propose a participatory transformation model in transforming the current transformation framework into a user-oriented approach. Method: In the development of the model, the participation scenarios / strategies were integrated into the break points in the process defined in Law No. 6306 which underlines the current urban transformation dynamics. Findings: Each experience that different transformation processes which the proposed model could be applied based on its own dynamics would create new structuring processes that would contribute to the model. Based on the model, it was aimed to establish continuous communication and information flow between users, architects, authorities and other stakeholders, to increase socio-physical satisfaction of the residents since the residence and residential environment would be built based on resident demands and to sustain the sense of belonging and satisfaction of the residents with the preferences. Conclusion: The process based on the proposals that were determined with participation principle and continuous communication between all stakeholders and especially the architect and residents would establish the foundation for not only to secure risky buildings, but also for socially and economically sustainable urban transformation projects that would provide added value to the city and improve the quality of life of urban residents
