The role of self compassion and psychological flexibility in the relationship between perseverance and life satisfaction among academics
No full textThis cross-sectional study investigates how perseverance influences life satisfaction among academics, highlighting the novel role of self-compassion and psychological flexibility as parallel mediators. A total of 305 academics from various universities in Türkiye (34% female, 66% male; Mage = 40.22, SD = 8.56) completed standardized measures of life satisfaction, perseverance, self-compassion, and psychological flexibility. Correlational analyses revealed positive associations among all variables. Structural equation modeling indicated that perseverance enhances self-compassion, which in turn promotes psychological flexibility, ultimately increasing life satisfaction. These findings clarify the psychological mechanisms through which perseverance supports well-being and provide evidence-based insights for developing interventions to reduce stress and foster resilience among higher education professionals
LC-MS/MS characterization of phenolic compounds and in vitro assessment of antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and anti-Alzheimer activities of Echium creticum L
No full textThe present work provides the first comprehensive LC–MS/MS phytochemical profiling and pharmacological investigation of Echium creticum L., Boraginaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in folk medicine, The aerial parts were sequentially extracted using petroleum ether (PEEEC), chloroform (CEEC), ethyl acetate (EAEEC), and n-butanol (BEEC). LC-MS/MS profiling of the polar extracts identified 25, 22, and 24 bioactive compounds, with rosmarinic acid, ferulic acid, salicylic acid, and gentisic acid as major phenolics. Several flavonoid glycosides (cosmosiin, nicotiflorin, genistin) are reported for the first time in the Echium genus. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS FRAP, and Fe3+-phenanthroline assays, was strongest in the ethyl acetate fraction. Antidiabetic potential was confirmed via α-amylase inhibition, where EAEEC demonstrated effective inhibition (IC50 = 207.20 ± 2.58 μg/mL), comparable to quercetin and Acarbose. The antibacterial activity was also evaluated through the disc diffusion methods and MIC tests against a panel of 10 gram-positive (+) and gram-negative (−) bacterial strains (references μ-drug resistant bacteria) (MIC 32–80 μg/mL). The n-butanol extract (BEEC) displayed the strongest anticholinesterase activity (IC50 = 68.98 ± 1.33 μg/mL), consistent with its flavonoid glycoside enrichment. Altogether, these results highlight E. creticum as an underexplored source of phenolic compounds with multi-target in vitro bioactivities and expand the phytochemical diversity of the Echium genus
COVID-19 vaccine attitude, vaccine literacy, and religious attitudes: a cross-sectional study in Turkiye
No full textBackground: The relationship between COVID-19 vaccine attitude and vaccine literacy and religious attitude has been shown in studies. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between COVID-19 vaccine attitude, vaccine literacy and religious attitudes and the factors affecting vaccine attitudes. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 830 individuals over 18 years of age in Diyarbakır and Kahramanmaraş provinces of Turkiye. The “Personal Information Form”, “Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccine Scale”, “COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale” and “OK-Religious Attitude Scale” were used to collect the study data. Mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, number and percentage, Pearson Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression Analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: In the study, religious attitude was not associated with COVID-19 vaccine literacy and COVID-19 vaccine attitude. It was determined that having three and more doses of the vaccine and communicative/critical VLS increased the positive attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine (p < 0.05). 17.3% of the positive attitude-dependent variable toward the COVID-19 vaccine was explained together with these predictors. The place of residence in Kahramanmaraş and using continuous drugs increased the negative attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine and having 2 doses of vaccination and being married decreased it (p < 0.05). 19.9% of the negative attitude-dependent variable towards the COVID-19 vaccine was explained together with these predictors. Conclusions: From the results obtained, it was concluded that the religious attitude of individuals was not related to COVID-19 vaccine literacy and vaccine attitudes, and that COVID-19 vaccine literacy predicted vaccine attitude
Dental students’ knowledge level regarding the use of antibiotics in endodontic infections in pediatric patients
No full textBackground: Endodontic infections frequently occur in children and stand out as dental issues where antibiotics are widely favored. However, the recent overuse of antibiotics has resulted in the development of antimicrobial resistance in children. The awareness and understanding dental students have regarding the application of antibiotics for treating endodontic infections in pediatric patients have been explored in limited studies. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the understanding of fourth- and fifth-year dentistry students—who are actively involved in patient care during their internships and will soon become medical professionals—about prescribing antibiotics to treat endodontic infections. Methods: This study was conducted using the Google Form electronic survey method on intern students at three different faculties of dentistry who have started their clinical internships. Results: Data were obtained from 468 participants who responded to the survey within the scope of the study. Statistically significant differences were observed in terms of knowledge level between those who were informed and those who were not about general antibiotic knowledge, prescription awareness, pediatric antibiotics dose calculations, and parenteral antibiotic applications, as well as between the places where they were informed; the same difference was observed between those who considered the information they received sufficient and those who did not (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that dental students have inadequate knowledge about the use of antibiotics in children with endodontic infections. Nevertheless, the study concludes that the knowledge level of the students can be improved through various training and educational programs. Copyright © 2025 Dental Journal (Majalah Kedokteran Gigi
Predictive value of nutritional scores in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients: Insights from the AFTER-2 study
No full textBackground and aim: Many scoring systems are used to evaluate malnutrition, but there is no consensus on which scoring system would be more appropriate. We aimed to investigate the effect of malnutrition in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and to compare three scoring systems. Methods and results: A total of 2592 patients with non-valvular AF from 35 different centers in Turkey were included in this prospective study. All participants were divided into two groups: 761 patients who died and 1831 patients who were alive. The malnutrition status of all participants was evaluated with three scoring systems. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The mean age of the population was 68.7 ± 11.1 years, and 55.5 % were female. According to Cox regression analysis, the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) (HR = 0.989, 95 % CI: 0.982–0.997, p = 0.007), controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score (HR = 1.121, 95 % CI: 1.060–1.185, p < 0.001), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (HR = 0.980, 95 % CI: 0.962–0.999, p = 0.036) were found to be significant mortality predictors. ROC curve analysis indicated GNRI (AUC = 0.568), CONUT (AUC = 0.572), and PNI (AUC = 0.547) had moderate predictive values. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that increasing the risk class based on GNRI (p < 0.001) and CONUT (p < 0.001) was associated with decreased survival, while PNI staging had no statistically significant effect (p = 0.266). Conclusions: Malnutrition, determined by three scoring systems, was found to be an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in NVAF patients. Nutritional examination may provide useful information for prognosis and risk stratification in patients with NVAF. © 2024 The Italian Diabetes Society, the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis, the Italian Society of Human Nutrition and the Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II Universit
Post-occupancy evaluation: an expert-user-oriented model proposal based on key sustainability indicators
No full textPurpose The user-oriented reusing of historical heritages is a powerful planning strategy to increase sustainability and provide socioeconomic benefits for cities. The study aims to determine the post-occupancy sustainability of reused historical buildings.Design/methodology/approach A holistic model was designed by considering expert and user opinions to select the post-occupancy sustainability of reused historical buildings. The proposed model was developed concerning key sustainability indicators (KSI). This proposed model, which integrates expert and user views, is examined in an educational building with significant cultural value in Mardin.Findings The results of the KSI model indicate that the functional, technical and environmental sustainability of the building are at a medium level, while the aesthetic sustainability is rated as good. An analysis of the differences between importance and performance shows that the largest gap is in functional sustainability, with the smallest gap in technical sustainability. The environmental and aesthetic sustainability indicators show a smaller performance gap than the other two. The results suggest that functional sustainability requires immediate intervention, technical features should be improved based on user needs and aesthetic and environmental sustainability require monitoring but no urgent action.Originality/value The originality of the research is that it proposes a model that combines expert opinion and the opinions of building users to monitor the sustainability of the reused buildings throughout the usage process and enables them to be monitored with key sustainability criteria and to develop improvement suggestions in line with the results obtained
Spline based sparseness and smoothness for partially nonlinear model via c-fused lasso
Full text linkOne of the most beneficial and widely used models for data analysis are partially nonlinear models (PNLRM), which consists of parametric and nonparametric components. Since the model includes the coefficients of both the parametric and nonparametric parts, the complexity of the model will be high and its interpretation will be very difficult. In this study, we propose a procedure that not only achieves sparseness, but also smoothness for PNLRM to obtain a simpler model that better explains the relationship between the response and covariates. Thus, the fused Lasso problem is taken into account where nonparametric components are expressed as a spline basis function, and then the Fused Lasso estimation problem is built and expressed in terms of conic quadratic programming. Applications are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method by considering commonly utilized measures. Promising results are obtained, especially in the data with nonlinearly correlated variables
Kürt destan ve halk hikayelerinde toplumsal cinsiyet rol ve kalıpyargıları
No full textDestanlar ulusların tarihi geçmişi ve kolektif değerlerini barındırıken; halk hikayeleri dönemin kültürel kodlarını aşk, aile ve toplumsal ilişkiler üzerinden yansıtır. Bu çalışma Kürt destan ve halk hikayelerindeki toplumsal cinsiyet rol ve kalıpyargılarının neler olduğunu ve ne şekilde yer aldıklarını bulmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında öncelikle toplumsal cinsiyet, feminizm ve ataerki kavramlarına dair kuramsal bilgilere yer verilmiştir. Ardından destan ve halk hikayesi türleri kuramsal açıdan ele alınarak, bu iki tür arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar ortaya konmuştur. Çalışmada incelenecek destan ve halk hikayelerinin kısa özetlerine yer verildikten sonra bu metinlerdeki kadınlık ve erkeklik rolleri ile mekanların cinsiyetlendirilme biçimleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışma için seçilen Kürt destan ve halk hikayeleri şunlardır: Memê Alan, Dewrêşê Evdî, Kela Dimdimê, Zembîlfiroş, Sîyabend û Xecê, Binevşa Narîn û Cembelîyê Kurê Mîrê Hekarîya, Kerr û Kulik, Xelîl Beg, Stî û Ferx, Sêva Hecî, Evdilrehman Axayê Zorbaşî, Elo Şêxanî û Fatimê, Husên Axa Derbas, Gulperî, Mîrza Axayê Rindikî û Têlî Eyşan, Bêrîvanê, Senem Xanim û Hiseyn. Metinler, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden söylem analizi ve eleştirel söylem analizi yöntemleri ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda kürt destan ve halk hikayelerinde kadınların duygusal, bağımlı, pasif, sadık, özverili, ikincil konumda; erkeklerin ise özgür, cesur, yiğit, korkusuz, bağımsız, mücadeleci, karar verici konumda oldukları görülmüştür. Daha çok kadınlara yakıştırılan duygusallık (ağlama) ve sadakat gibi özelliklerin erkeklerde de sıkça görülmesi toplumsal cinsiyet kalıpyargılarının değişebilir olduğunu göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Destan ve halk hikayelerindeki eril mekanlar olarak divanhane, oda, av, savaş alanları; dişil mekanlar olarak ise çadırlarda kadınlar için perdeyle ayrılan bölüm, çeşme başı, dere kenarları veya saraylarda kadınlara ayrılan odalar geçmektedir. Bu durum da mekanların cinsiyetlendirilmesinde dönemin sosyal ve ekonomik şartlarının etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Çünkü mekanlar cinsiyetlendirilirken kapalı alanlar dişil, açık alanlar ise eril olarak sınıflandırılır ve destanlarda buna uymayan örnekler mevcuttur. Bu çalışma toplumsal cinsiyet rol ve kalıpyargılarının zamanla ne gibi değişikliklere uğradığının belirlenmesi açısından alana katkı sağlamaktadır.While epics contain the historical past and collective values of nations, folk tales reflect the cultural codes of the period through love, family and social relations. This study aim to find out what are the gender roles and stereotypes in Kurdish epics and folk tales and how are they manifested. Within the scope of this study, theoretical informations on the consepts of gender, feminism and patriarchy are presented. Subsequently, the genres of epic and folk tale are examined from a theoretical perspective, with an emphasis on the similarities and differences between the two. Following brief summaries of the epics and folk tales examined in the study, the focus is placed on the representations of femininity and masculinity, as well as the ways in which spaces are gendered within these texts.The Kurdish epics and folk tales selected for the study are the following: Memê Alan, Dewrêşê Evdî, Kela Dimdimê, Zembîlfiroş, Sîyabend û Xecê, Binevşa Narîn û Cembelîyê Kurê Mîrê Hekarîya, Kerr û Kulik, Xelîl Beg, Stî û Ferx, Sêva Hecî, Evdilrehman Axayê Zorbaşî, Elo Şêxanî û Fatimê, Husên Axa Derbas, Gulperî, Mîrza Axayê Rindikî û Têlî Eyşan, Bêrîvanê, Senem Xanim û Hiseyn. Epics and folk tales were analyzed with discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis methods from qualitative research methods. As a result of the research, it was observed that women in Kurdish epics and folk tales are emotional, dependent, passive, loyal, self-sacrificing, secondary while men are free, brave, valiant, fearless, independent, combative and decision-making. The fact that traits such as emotionality (crying) and loyalty, which are mostly associated with women, are also frequently seen in men is important in terms of showing that gender stereotypes are changeable. In epics and folk tales, masculine spaces are represented by the council hall (divanhane), rooms, hunting grounds and battlefields; whereas feminine spaces include areas separated by curtains for women within tents, spots by the fountain, riverbanks and rooms designated for women in palaces. This shows that the social and economics conditions of the period were effective in the gendering of spaces. Because when spaces are gendered closed spaces are classified as feminine and open spaces as masculine, and there are examples in the epics that do not fit this. This study contributes to the field in terms of determining how gender roles and stereotypes change over time.Destan, di nava xwe da rabirdûya dîrokî û nirxên kolektîf ên neteweyan

The pre-pottery neolithic period chronology of boncuklu tarla in the light of archaeological data and carbon analysis
No full textGünümüz uygarlığının temeli olan yerleşik yaşam ver üretime geçiş hakkındaki bilgilerimiz son yıllarda yapılan arkeolojik araştırmalar ve kazılarla yeniden yapılanıyor. Günümüzden yaklaşık 14 bin yıl önce gerçekleşen iklimsel değişiklikler sonucunda avcı-toplayıcı göçer toplulukların yaşam biçimleri değişmeye başlamıştır. Gerçek anlamda yerleşik yaşama geçişin yaşandığı Neolitik Dönem, insanlık tarihi açısından çok önemli bir yer kaplamaktadır. Bu tezin kapsamında Yukarı Dicle Havzasında yer alan Boncuklu Tarla yerleşim yerinde başlayan sistematik kazılar ile Neolitik Dönem hakkında önemli veriler ortaya çıkarılmaktadır. Bu çalışmalar esnasında multi disipliner yaklaşımlar esas alınmış olup gerek Arkeobotanik gerek Arkeozoolojik verilerin yanı sıra bu tezin ana materyalini oluşturan C-14 analizleri ve kazı arşivi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen C-14 tarihlendirme sonuçları ile yerleşimin kronolojik ve kültürel gelişimi hakkında kapsamlı sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuçlar odağında ve stratigrafik tabakalardan Boncuklu Tarla Yerleşim yeri Geç Epipaleolitik Dönemden Geç PPNB Döneme değin iskân gördüğü anlaşılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler Yakındoğu'da yer alan diğer yerleşim yerleri ile karşılaştırılış, benzer ve farklı özellikler tartışılmıştır. Mimari açıdan Geç Epipaleolitik ve PPNA Döneme tarihlenen yapılar yuvarlak planlı ve tam gömülü olarak inşa edilmiştir. PPNA/PPNB geçiş evresinde köşeleri yuvarlatılmış (yarı-yuvarlak) bir kamu binası ve bu kamu binasının batısında da basit barınaklar inşa edilmiştir. PPNB evresinde ise tamamen yüzeye dikdörtgen ve kare şeklinde inşa edildikleri görülmektedir. Arkeolojik kazılarda elde edilen organik kalıntılar özel kütle spektrometreleri veya sıvı sintilasyon sayaçları ile ölçülür. Karbon 14 tarihleme yöntemi doğrudan takvim yılı vermez Bu nedenle atmosferdeki Karbon-14 oranındaki dalgalanmalara göre kalibrasyon eğrileri kullanılır. Böylece elde edilen tarih takvim yılına çevrilir. Bu çalışmalar sayesinde yerleşimin ne zaman iskân edildiği belirlenmiş ve Neolitik dönemin kronolojisine katkı sağlanmıştır.Our knowledge about the transition to settled life and production, which is the basis of today's civilization, is being reconstructed with archaeological research and excavations in recent years. As a result of climatic changes that occurred approximately 14 thousand years ago, the lifestyles of hunter-gatherer nomadic communities began to change. The Neolithic Period, when the transition to settled life in the true sense took place, has a very important place in terms of human history. Within the scope of this thesis, important data about the Neolithic Period are being revealed with systematic excavations that started at the Boncuklu Tarla settlement in the Upper Tigris Basin. Multidisciplinary approaches were taken as the basis during these studies, and in addition to archaeobotanical and archaeozoological data, C-14 analyses and the excavation archive, which constitute the main material of this thesis, were used. With the C-14 dating results obtained, comprehensive conclusions were reached about the chronological and cultural development of the settlement. Based on these results and stratigraphic layers, it was understood that Boncuklu Tarla Settlement was inhabited from the Late Epipaleolithic Period to the Late PPNB Period. The obtained data were compared with other settlements in the Near East, and similar and different features were discussed. In terms of architecture, the structures dated to the Late Epipaleolithic and PPNA Period were constructed with a round plan and fully buried. In the PPNA/PPNB transition phase, a public building with rounded corners (semi-round) and simple shelters were constructed to the west of this public building. In the PPNB phase, it is seen that they were built completely on the surface in rectangular and square shapes. Organic remains obtained from archaeological excavations are measured using special mass spectrometers or liquid scintillation counters. The 14 dating method does not directly provide calendar years. Therefore, calibration curves based on fluctuations in the carbon-14 ratio in the atmosphere are used. The obtained date is then converted to a calendar year. Thanks to these studies, it has been determined when the settlement was inhabited, contributing to the chronology of the Neolithic period
The relationship between leader-members exchange and teacher morale
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı lider-üye etkileşiminin öğretmenlerin morallerini nasıl etkilediğini belirlemek ve bu kavramlar arasındaki ilişkileri ayrıntılı bir şekilde ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın örneklemini kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen ve 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında Diyarbakır'ın merkez ilçelerinde bulunan resmi liselerde görev yapan 260 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama tekniği benimsenmiş ve "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Lider-üye Etkileşim Ölçeği" ve "Öğretmen Moral Ölçeği" veri toplama araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 23 programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Toplanan verilerin analizinde aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, K-Smirnov Z ve Shapiro-wilk, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H ve Spearman Korelasyon analizlerine başvurulmuştur. Çalışmanın temel bulguları; öğretmenlerin lider-üye etkileşim algılarının orta seviyede olduğunu ve Lider-Üye Etkileşimi Ölçeği'nin toplam puanının ve ölçeğin alt boyutları olan duygu, katkı ve sadakat boyutlarından aldıkları puanların eğitim durumlarına göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşarak lisans mezunlarının lehine olduğunu göstermiştir. Öğretmen Moral Ölçeği'nden elde edilen puanlar ise öğretmenlerin moral özelliklerinin ortalama değerin üzerinde olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçeklerden elde edilen bulguların cinsiyet, mesleki kıdem, okuldaki görev süresi ve branş gibi değişkenlerden etkilenmediği tespit edilmiştir. Lider-Üye Etkileşimi Ölçeği ile Öğretmen Moral Ölçeği'nden elde edilen puanlar arasında ise pozitif yönde orta düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları doğrultusunda, okul yöneticilerinin öğretmenlerin moral düzeylerini artırmak adına öğretmenlere gerekli desteği sağlaması, kaynak temin edilmesi noktasında gerekli hassasiyeti göstermesi, yapılan işleri takdir etmesi, mesleki bilgilerinin yeterli olması ve olumlu bir iş atmosferi yaratması gerektiği önerileri sunulmuştur.The aim of this study is to determine how leader-member exchange affects teachers' morale and to reveal the relationships between these concepts in detail. The sample of the study consists of 260 teachers, working in state high schools located in the central districts of Diyarbakır, during the 2023-2024 academic year, selected using the convenience sampling method. In the study, the relational survey model from quantitative research methods was adopted, and the "Personal Information Form," "Leader-Member Exchange Scale," and "Teacher Morale Scale" were used as data collection tools. The obtained data were analyzed using the SPSS 23 program. In the analysis of the collected data, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, K-Smirnov Z and Shapiro-Wilk, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H, and Spearman Correlation analyses were utilized. The main findings of the study indicate that teachers' perceptions of leader-member exchange are at a moderate level, and that the total score of the Leader-Member Exchange Scale, as well as the scores from its sub-dimensions; emotion, contribution, and loyalty significantly differ according to their educational background, favoring those with a bachelor's degree. The scores obtained from the Teacher Morale Scale indicated that the teachers' morale characteristics were above the average value. It has been determined that the findings obtained from the scales were not affected by variables such as gender, professional seniority, length of service at the school, and subject area. It has been determined that there is a moderately significant positive relationship between the scores obtained from the Leader-Member Exchange Scale and the Teacher Morale Scale. Based on the results of the study, it has been suggested that school administrators should provide the necessary support to teachers to enhance their morale levels, show the necessary sensitivity in providing resources, appreciate the work done, possess sufficient professional knowledge, and create a positive work atmosphere
