The attitudes of landscape architecture students towards distance and face-to-face education methods and the effects of the two education methods on academic achievement in the project course
No full textThis study aimed to compare the achievements of the students who attended the Environmental Design Project course at Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) in various years with the face-to-face (FE) and distance (OE) education methods. The study was conducted with 130 students. In the initial stage, ANOVA was conducted to determine whether there was a difference between student attitudes towards FE and OE methods in the Environmental Design Project studio. In the second stage, the research problem, namely "Does the implementation of landscape architecture environmental design project instruction with FE and OE methods affect the academic achievements of the students? was investigated and a quasi-experimental study with a control group was conducted on the achievement test (50 questions) results. The achievement test was applied to the students who took environmental design lessons for one semester (14 weeks) with both methods before the 14-week semester (pre-test) and after the semester (post-test). There was no statistical difference between the pre-test scores of both groups (p > 0.05), while there was a difference (p < 0.05) between the post-test scores. This finding demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the effects of these two methods on the academic success of the students
Chemical composition, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities of medicinal plants nutsedge and fenugreek
Full text linkPurple nutsedge roots (Cyperus rotundus L.) and fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) have been traditionally used as food and to treat common ailments. After extraction by solid-phase microextraction (SPME), the chemical structure of the revealed volatile fractions was researched with gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The determined substances of the C. rotundus were pentadecanolide (72.0%), palmitic acid (8.2%), 16-hydroxy-6-hexadecenoic acid omega lactone (4.4%), and (Z)-anethol (3.9%). Most of the identified compounds of the T. foenum-graecum were pentadecanolide (61.3%) and (Z)-anethol (16.5%). The C. rotundus showed good antifungal activity against the yeast strands of Candida albicans and Candida krusei. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) numbers were 250 and 125 µg/mL, respectively. However, the T. foenum-graecum seeds did not show any effect against the test microorganisms. The C. rotundus roots in particular exhibited good 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity with an IC50 number of 0.91 mg/mL

Evaluation of the effectiveness of a health literacy education program during the pandemic
Full text linkObjectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of a health literacy education program on first and emergency aid students during the pandemic.
Materials and Methods: This study adopted a single group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of 135 students of the First and Emergency Aid Program of a private university in Konya, Turkey No sampling was performed because we could reach the entire study population. Therefore, the sample consisted of 114 students. Participants attended a health literacy education program (intervention). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a personal information form and the Health Literacy Scale (HLS). Number, percentage, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. The study adhered to all ethical principles.
Results: Participants had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score (117 +/- 5.03) than the pre-test score (105 +/- 11.50) (p <0.05). Participants with a high income had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those with a low income (p <0.05). Participants covered by insurance had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who were not (p <0.05). Participants who did regular exercise had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Participants who knew about health literacy before the intervention had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05).
Conclusion: The education program helped participants learn more about health literacy. Therefore, universities should integrate it into their curricula
Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the fear of falling questionnaire-revised (FFQ-R) in nursing home residents with mild cognitive decline
Full text linkBackground: The aim of the study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Fear of Falling Questionnaire-Revised (FFQ-R) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) living in a nursing home. Methods: The study was conducted with 107 (69 women) older adults. The participants were evaluated with the FFQ-R, the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Barthel Index and Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)”. FFQ-R was refilled one month later for retesting. Results: Cronbach’s alpha value of the FFQ-R was 0.971. The global internal consistency was excellent (>0.80). Intraclass correlation coefficient of the FFQ-R was 0.962 (95% CI: 0.92–0.98), indicating excellent test-retest reliability. The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) values of the FFQ-R was 0.80 and 2.21, respectively. The correlation between the total score of FFQ-R and the FES was excellent (r = 0.963, p < .001). The relationship between FFQ-R and MMSE was excellent (r = −0.821, p < .001). Besides, there was a moderate correlation between the FFQ-R with Barthel Index (r = −0.648, p < .001) and FFR-Q with MADRS (r = 0.568, p < .001). Conclusion: Turkish version of the FFQ-R is a valid and reliable tool to assess the fear of falling in nursing home residents
The ımpacts of global atmospheric oscillations on büyük menderes and gediz streamflows
Full text linkSon zamanlarda yapılan çalışmalar küresel atmosferik salınımların iklim parametreleri üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu
çalışma, Kuzey Atlantik Salınımı (NAO), Arktik Salınım (AO) ve Güneyli Salınımı (SO) gibi küresel atmosferik salınımları ile Büyük
Menderes ve Gediz akımları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için yapılmıştır. Büyük Menderes ve Gediz havzalarında bulunan 1970-
2015 yılları arasındaki 45 yıllık dönemde ölçümleri Devlet Su İşleri (DSİ) tarafından yapılan 5 akım istasyonundaki yıllık ve mevsimlik
ortalama akımlar incelenmiştir. Daha sonra, NAO, AO ve SO indeksleri ile yıllık ve mevsimsel akımlar arasındaki ilişki korelasyon
analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, istenilen sayıda periyodik bileşenler elde edebilmek için orijinal akım verileri ayrık dalgacık
dönüşümü ile bileşenlerine ayrılmıştır. Bulunan dalgacık bileşenleri (D1, D2, D3, D4 ve A) ile atmosferik indeksler arasındaki
korelasyonlar incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, akımlar ile AO/NAO indeksleri arasında yıllık, kış ve ilkbahar periyotlarında güçlü bir
negatif korelasyon vardır. Ayrıca dalgacık periyodik bileşenleri, küresel atmosferik salınımların akım verileri ile ilişkisinin temel
faktörlerini göstermiştir.Recent studies show that global atmospheric circulations are efficient on climate parameters. This study has been carried out to analyze
the relationship between the streamflow data in Büyük Menderes/Gediz Basin and the global atmospheric oscillations such as the
Southern Oscillation (SO), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Arctic Oscillation (AO). The average annual and seasonal
flows at the current 5 stations located in Büyük Menderes basin and Gediz basin, whose measurements were made by the DSI in the
45 year period between 1970 and 2015 have been studied. Then, the relationship between NAO, AO, SO indices and streamflows was
determined by correlation analysis. In addition, in order to obtain the periodic components, the original observed data were separated
into their components by discrete wavelet transform. The correlations between the found wavelet components (D1, D2, D3, D4 and A)
and atmospheric indices were examined. As a result, this study found that there is a strong negative correlation between the streamflow
and the AO/NAO indices at the annual/winter and spring period. Moreover, the wavelet periodic components showed to the main
factors for the relationship of the streamflow data with the global atmospheric patterns

Comparison of previously injured body regions in elite freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers
No full textThe aim of this study was to compare the injured body regions that elite Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers suffered from and to determine the importance of injuries. 41 Freestyle and 51 Greco-Roman wrestlers, who were practicing in Turkish National Wrestling Team camps, participated in this study. 'Chi Square' and student t tests were used in statistical analyses. When examined injury status and body regions distribution between Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers, significant difference was found in head and trunk injuries according to wrestling styles (p0.05). There was significant difference in trunk and upper extremity injuries with respect to weight category (p0,05). Es gab signifikante Unterschiede bei Verletzungen des Rumpfes und der oberen Extremitäten in Bezug auf die Gewichtsklasse (p<0,05 und p<0,001). Ein signifikanter Unterschied wurde auch bei Nasenverletzungen nach Wrestling-Stilen festgestellt (p<0,05). Bei der Untersuchung des Wrestling-Stils und der Verletzungen der oberen Extremitäten gemäß der Anzahl der Verletzungen wurde ein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen zwei Stilen bei Muskelverletzungen, Finger- und Handgelenksverletzungen, festgestellt (p<0,05). Der Unterschied zwischen Zehenverletzungen in Bezug auf den Wrestling-Stil war statistisch signifikant (p<0,05). Ergebnisse: Griechisch-römische Wrestler erlitten im Vergleich zu Freestyle-Wrestlern mehr Verletzungen an Rumpf, Kopf und Nase. Verletzungen des Rumpfes, der unteren und oberen Extremitäten variierten je nach Gewichtsklasse. Nacken-, Rücken-, Lenden- und Brustverletzungen waren bei griechisch-römischen Wrestlern häufiger. Freestyle-Wrestler waren anfälliger für Muskelverletzungen, während griechisch-römische Wrestler anfälliger für Finger- und Handgelenksverletzungen waren. Es wird empfohlen, einige Fähigkeiten wie aerobe Kraft, Kraft, Gleichgewicht und neuromotorische Koordination beim Wrestling hervorragend zu verbessern. Die Techniken sollten den Wrestlern gut beigebracht werden, die meisten riskanten Extremitäten für Verletzungen müssen zusätzlich trainiert werden und diese Extremitäten sollten während des Trainings durch mehrere Bänder, Bandagen oder Zahnräder vor Verletzungen geschützt werden. Freestyle-Wrestler sollten beim Tauchen vorsichtiger sein. Die Verwendung von Gehörschutz zusätzlich zu vorbeugenden Maßnahmen kann während des Trainings empfohlen werden, um temporale Knochenbrüche und Schwellungen zu verhindern
New approach to ecological structure effects of medical aromatic plant extract/borax on the anatomical structure of wood and human/environmental health
No full textIn this century, in which human and environmental health are prioritized in the usage of medical aromatic plant extract and boron chemical, both separately and in combination, when the effect of wood on the anatomical structure is assessed in the context of hygiene/antimicrobials, it opens up additional areas to be addressed (indoor/outdoor spaces, hospitals, space, and so on). In order to determine the anatomical characteristics, cross -sections (transverse/radial/tangential) of the wood samples were obtained and interactions/changes in the anatomical structure were identified under the light microscope, and the retention scale was created in relation to this. The retention level of both medicinal aromatic plant extract and borax in wood is the highest in mahogany wood (2.88%), while the lowest percentage is found in oriental spruce wood (0.35%). In comparison to the control sample, the air/full dry specific density change produced good outcomes in both wood types. The highest air-dried specific density value was found in borax (0.58 g/cm3) in mahogany wood, and in caw (Ferula comunis L.) plant, borax and ferula+borax (0.38 g/cm3) in spruce wood. In both wood species, retention occurred in sap rays and there was no retention in the traheid/trahe cells, which act as conduction, and retention was determined in these cells, since they are sapphire cells and cells that act as storage
