Clinically stagnation, inapetence, darkening of the skin, exophtalmia, opacification in the cornea, hemorrhages in the eyes and at the base of pectoral and anal fins, swollen abdomen and wounds on the body surface were observed in infected fish. In necropsy; the existence of accumulation of bloody fluid in the body cavity, ascites in the intestines and the stomach characterized with a yellowish-colored liquid, enlarged and darkening in the spleen and kidney, fading in colour, existence of petechial hemorrhages and enlarged in the liver were detected. In order to isolate the aetiological agent, 20 infected rainbow trout weighting between 50-100 gr were used. As the result of conventional tests used in the identification of the bacteria, the aetiological agent was identified as L.garvieae. The isolated L.gavieae strain was determined as susceptible to amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, doxycycline, enroflaxacin, pristinamycine and tetracycline
The Sahıhayn Perception on Andalucia Transmitting Prophetic Traditions and Comparison of East Islamic World
Sahih of the al‐Bukhari and Muslim on hadith science is one of the most
important works. Both books are named in the form of Sahîhayn because of
the adoption of sahih hadiths. Sahîhayn, has written to propitiate the Muslims
from periods. Some of them even if they have made assessments of the direction
which one is better. At this point, the different opinions in the world of
Islam has occurred. Eastern Islamic world and against the different approaches
Sahîhayn exhibited in Andalusia. The eastern approach to the Muslim
world at the same rate in both works are introduced, on the hadith of
Muslim Andalusia preferred method Sahîh movement. The fifth and sixth centuries,
Muslim scholars of the Islamic Andalusia Sahîh by reference to the value
of Bukhari gave to the fore while. Sahîhayn understanding of al‐Andalus is
basically a comparison of health. They did not evaluate in this direction on
the two works. Andalusia scholars prefer Sahih Muslim completely methodical
reason.Buhârî ve Müslim’in Sahîh’i, hadis ilminde en önemli eserlerinin başında
gelmektedir. Her iki eserdeki hadislerin sahîh kabul edilmesi hasebiyle
Sahîhayn şeklinde isimlendirilmiştir. Sahîhayn, yazıldıkları dönemlerden itibaren
Müslümanların teveccühünü kazanmıştır. Hatta bazıları onlar arasında
bile hangisinin daha iyi olduğu yönde değerlendirmeler yapmışlardır. İslâm
dünyasında bu noktada farklı kanaatler izhar edilmiştir. Doğu İslâm dünyası
ile Endülüs’te Sahîhayn’a karşı farklı yaklaşımlar sergilenmiştir. Doğu İslâm
dünyasında her iki esere aynı oranda bir yaklaşım ortaya konulurken, Endülüs’te
Müslim’in hadisler ile ilgili metodundan hareketle Sahîh’ini tercih etmişlerdir.
Hicri beşinci ve altıncı asır Endülüs âlimleri Müslim’in Sahîh’ini ön
plana çıkarırken Buhârî’ye de atıflar yaparak değer vermişlerdir. Endülüs’teki
Sahîhayn anlayışı temelde sıhhat kıyaslaması değildir. Onlar her iki eser hakkında
bu yönde bir değerlendirme yapmamışlardır. Endülüslü âlimlerin Müslim’in
Sahîh’ini öncelemelerinin sebebi tamamen metodik boyuttadır
Morphometric and allozymic differences between Bearded Tit Panurus biarmicus (Aves: Passeriformes) subpopulations in a large wetland and a small pond in central Anatolia, Turkey
The Bearded Tit (Panurus biarmicus) is a small passerine bird occurring only in wetland habitats. Three subspecies of the Bearded Tit are known from Turkey. The endemic subspecies Panurus biarmicus kosswigi has only been recorded from Amik Lake in Turkey. This subspecies is now considered extinct; the apparent cause of this extinction was the drought affecting the lake. Other subpopulations might be similarly threatened by habitat loss. Therefore, it is important to investigate the morphometric characteristics and genetic variation of these local subpopulations. In this study, body weights and 12 morphometric characters were measured for Bearded Tit individuals in the Eber Lake and Behiçbey reedbed subpopulations. Statistically significant differences were found in extended wing length, maximum wing chord, and weight between the 2 subpopulations. Allozymic variation was also studied in the 2 subpopulations. Genetic variation was assessed using isozyme systems, and 8 of 21 loci (Pgm, Me-I, Me-II, Fum, Est, Mpi, Pgd, and Acon-M) were found to be polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic loci was higher at Eber Lake (P95% = 38.1%) than in the Behiçbey reedbed (P95% = 33.3%). The mean FST (0.048) and Nm (5.0) values showed high levels of gene flow between these subpopulations
Density Functional Theory Study on Conformers of Benzoylcholine Chloride
The optimized molecular structures and vibrational frequencies and also gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) 1H and 13C
NMR shift values of benzoylcholine chloride [(2-benzoyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] have been calculated using
density functional theory (B3LYP) method with 6-31++G(d) basis set. The comparison of the experimental and calculated infrared
(IR), Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra has indicated that the experimental spectra are formed from
the superposition of the spectra of two lowest energy conformers of the compound. So, it was concluded that the compound
simultaneously exists in two optimized conformers in the ground state. Also the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has supported
the simultaneous exiting of two conformers in the ground state. The calculated optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and
bond angles) and vibrational frequencies for both the lowest energy conformers were seen to be in a well agreement with the
corresponding experimental data

Bu nedenle bu çalışmada 2006 yılından beri her yıl ülke çapında gerçekleştirilmekte olan “Bu Benim Eserim Matematik ve Fen Bilimleri Proje Yarışması” kapsamında ilk 100’e giren 455 Fen Bilimleri projesinin içeriğinin “Vatandaşlık Bilinci” açısından sorgulaması yapılmaktadır. Çalışmada projelere konu seçiminde temel çıkış noktası olan fikir ön plana alınarak, her bir proje “Vatandaşlık Bilinci” açısından incelenmiştir. Yarışma kapsamında son yedi yılda gerçekleştirilen Fen Bilimleri ile ilgili projeler, gerçekleştirilmesinde önemli bir hareket noktası teşkil eden “Vatandaşlık ve Sosyal Sorumluluk Bilinci” ile ilgili içerik bakımından içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Değerlendirmeler, proje yarışmasında gerçekleştirilen öğrenci çalışmalarının büyük oranda sosyal sorumluluk anlayışından hareketle ortaya çıktığı, toplum ve çevrenin bir bakımdan sorununun çözülmesi vb. toplumsal yaşamın temel insani değerleri olarak kabul edilmesi gereken hususları içerdiği daha da önemlisi projelerin bu konulardan hareketle üretildiğini ve gerçekleştirildiğini ortaya koymaktadır.Science is an individual and social activity with a long history, having unique characteristics, and is contributed to its development by many people from different cultures. This is closely related with the principle of economic and social benefits for the society as it is in the context of "This is My Work: Math and Science Projects Competition" carried out by the Ministry of National Education since 2006. Therefore, this study examined the notion of "Citizenship Awareness" in each of 455 Science and Technology projects which were among the top 100 projects in "This is My Work: Math Science Projects Competition" carried out across the country every year since 2006. For the methodology, Science projects entered the competition for the last seven years were subjected to content analysis in terms of content on "Citizenship and Social Responsibility." Conclusions were finally made with idea that student works in the projects competition were largely emerged from and implemented with an understanding of social responsibility; solving a problem in the society and environment; consciousness of environmental protection; cleanliness and the health; aesthetics; hazard prevention and safety of life; helping disabled people as one of the basic human values of the social life
Midwifery role in malpractice cases related to oxytocin application.
Oxytocin application is one of the medications in order to maintain of health for labor is important initiatives to increase the
malpractice risk. In oxytocin administration that is responsibility of doctor, midwifery, and nurse in practice. Midwifes have an
important role role in preparation and implemantation of intravenous solution is containing oxytocin, monitoring of fetal and
maternal complications. Malpractice claims rise as a results of not showed the expected behavior from midwifes who have
knowledge,skill, attention and care. Thus in studies have been made on malpractice, rates of forensic case vamong midwifery
are %10. With this rewiev is aimed to emphasize the role of midwifery in malpractice cases due to oxytocin application
The Responses of Ascorbate - Glutathione Cycle Enzymes in Seedlings of Pancratium maritimum L. under Drought Treatments
In this study, physiological and biochemical responses of (Pancratium maritimum L.), desert plant which is very widespread on coastal sand dunes to drought were determined. Therefore 28 days (d) old plants were drought stressed by withholding water for 5 and 10 days. The changes in relative growth rate (RGR), relative water content (RWC) lipid peroxidation, and ascorbate-glutathione cycle enzymes activity ((ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR, EC 1.6.5.4)) were investigated. Relative growth rate, relative water content were both decreased on the 5 and 10d of stress treatment while it was higher on the 10d. MDA content increased on the 10d while it did not change on the 5d. On the other hand, activities of APX, GR, DHAR and MDAR increased on the 5d but were not change on the 10d. These results suggest that ascorbate – glutathione cycle enzymes were efficient to prevent from oxidative damage under short term of drought stress in (Pancratium maritimum L.) plants
