Mediator role of optimism and pessimism levels in the relationship between life purpose and life satisfaction
No full textIn this study, the mediating role of optimism and pessimism levels in the relationship between university students' life goals and life satisfaction was examined. Participants consisted of 407 peo-ple between the ages of 18-25 (M = 20.03). Of the participants, 229 (56.3%) were female and 178 (43.7%) were male. Life Orientation Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Life Goals Scale were used in the study. Within the scope of the study, the mediating role of optimism-pessimism levels in the relationship between life purpose and life satisfaction was examined in the context of structural equation modeling. As an alternative model to this model, the mediating role of life purpose between life orientation and life satisfaction was also tested. While the model fit indices were acceptable for the first model, the fit indices were not acceptable in the alternative model. It is seen that life orientation has a significant mediating effect between life purpose, social responsibility and financial gain sub-dimensions and life satisfaction. On the other hand, there was no mediation effect in the sub-dimensions of individual awareness, physical appearance, and personal develop-ment. As a result of the findings, it was determined that the optimism levels of the individuals who have social responsibility and financial gain life goals are high and they have more life satisfaction. © 2024, Association for Clinical Psychology Research.

Since the main skill of Law No. 6284 is to combat violence, the types of violence and the reasons for its emergence are discussed in detail in the thesis. Since the Law No. 6284 deals with preventive and protective measures separately and according to the authorities that can decide on the measures, we have examined the measures in our thesis study in accordance with the classification of the text of the Law. In this context, the legal nature of the precautionary measures, the way they are issued and their applications are mentioned one by one, and then each measure is discussed separately by stating whether the measures are preventive or protective and taking into account the authorities that can decide on the measure. The law gives the civil administrator, judge and law enforcement chief the duty and authority to order measures within the scope of Law No. 6284 and reveals that these measures can be ordered upon notice or complaint. Since the obligations of Women's Shelters and Violence Prevention and Monitoring Centers were also listed by Law No. 6284, the aims and activities of these two institutions were examined and their adequacy was examined in our thesis study. As a result of our thesis study, various suggestions were made on changes that could be made to Law No. 6284 in order to make it more effective in combating violence. With this study, it is aimed to create a detailed work on Law No. 6284 and the measures envisaged within the scope of this Law and to contribute to the literature by examining scientific works and judicial decisions
Covıd-19 ımpacts on supply chain management: An evaluation on food and agriculture sector
No full textCOVID-19 has been defined globally as a pandemic that has affected every country and every sector positively or negatively. Supply chains in the global competitive environment have been subjected to sharp limitations and restrictions as they try to maintain their current existence with all their characteristics despite the pandemic period. Due to the pandemic, technological change and digital transformation mechanisms have completely changed the structure of the supply chain ecosystem. Businesses that could not keep up with this change have been observed to exhibit a weak, fragile, and inflexible attitude against adverse market conditions. It has been emphasized that the food and agriculture sector, in particular, should pay more attention to sustainability in the supply chain than ever before in a global pandemic environment where interruptions and disruptions are intense. Therefore, the content of this chapter consists of an assessment of the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on existing supply chain and policy recommendations determined in line with the measures that the food and agriculture sector should take to express the importance of the issue. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024
Sürükleyici sanatta somaestetik yaklaşımlar; (Un)balance xr deneyimi örneği
No full textBu araştırma, sürükleyici sanatta (immersive art) somaestetik yaklaşımın önemini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bir başka ifade ile sürükleyici sanat olayları gerçekleşirken, gerçeklik algılarının, bedenle bir bütün olarak dönüşüp değiştiğini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Somaestetik, bedenin bir algı merkezi olarak önem taşıdığı bir felsefedir. Beden anlamına gelen soma, geleneksel olarak zihin ve beden olarak ayırt edilen (ve bölünen) şeyleri içerir. Yani soma, beden ve zihin birlikteliğini içerir. Zihin terimi ayrı bir tözden ziyade bedenin önemli bir fiil veya işlevi olarak kavrandığında soma kavramını anlamak mümkündür. Somaestetik felsefeye göre gerçeği anlamak beden ve duyusal algı yoluyla gerçekleşir. Algıların değişkenliğinde de beden deneyimi önemlidir. Bedenin bütünselliğinin deneyimlenebildiği en üst mertebe sanattır. Sürükleyici sanatta beden, sanal çevreyi insan duyularını taklit edebilen çeşitli teknolojik cihazlarla algılayabilmekte ve sanatsal deneyimi kişi ancak bedeni ile sağlayabilmektedir. Beden, sürükleyici teknoloji donanımları ile bazı sürükleyici sanat olaylarında sanal bedenlere de dönüşebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Elyne Legarnisson’un XR (genişletilmiş gerçeklik) deneyimi (Un)Balance, örnek olay seçilmiş ve bu durumun analizi yapılmıştır. 20. yüzyıl başlarından itibaren sanatta beden, özne ve nesne olarak öne çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte bedensel algılar değiştikçe farklı deneyimlerin yaşandığı, neticesinde farklı gerçekliklerin ortaya çıktığı bir dönem olarak 21. yüzyıl ve sürükleyici sanat karşımızda durmaktadır
Investıgatıon of the effects of types of catheters on bloodstream ınfectıon ın patıents wıth major burns: Prognosıs and predıctıon usıng procalcıtonın
No full textBloodstream and catheter-related infections frequently occur in patients with burns. Thus, it is important to correctly assess and manage them. This study aimed to investigate the effects of catheter types used in patients with major burns on bloodstream infections and to predict sepsis status and manage its prognosis using a procalcitonin biomarker. The study included 34 patients who were admitted to the burn intensive care unit. These patients were classified into two groups based on whether they used peripheral or central venous catheter. The procalcitonin, thrombocyte and leukocyte levels of the patients were assessed every other day for 4 weeks, starting from the day when they were admitted to the burn center. An intergroup comparison revealed that procalcitonin levels were lower in the peripheral catheter group than in the central venous catheter group after day 10. Furthermore, the procalcitonin levels were significantly lower in the peripheral catheter group than in the central venous catheter group, especially on days 19, 21 and 24 (p <0.05). It is important to consider using peripheral venous catheters instead of central venous catheters in patients with major burns in order to mitigate the risk of catheter-related infections. Monitoring patients based on procalcitonin levels every other day, changing catheters, and administering antibiotic therapy based on changes in procalcitonin levels in patients likely to have elevated procalcitonin levels may reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure and associated costs to the healthcare system. © 2024, Mediterranean Club for Burns and Fire Disasters.

Testing the role of unstimulated in vitro maturation for potential development of immature oocytes in women with oocyte maturation abnormalities
Get PDFObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the developmental potential of immature oocytes and evaluate whether unstimulated in vitro maturation (IVM) could serve as a treatment option for women with oocyte maturation abnormalities (OMAs).
Material and methods: This cohort study was conducted between September 2019 and December 2022, and included women who underwent unstimulated, non-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) priming IVM. Oocytes were incubated with IVM medium for 26-48 hours and evaluated to compare their maturation profiles with the immature oocytes retrieved from the same patients in their previous in vitro fertilization cycles.
Results: Among the twelve women in the study, eleven (91.6%) underwent whole exome sequencing analysis. Of these, 18 variants were identified in 10 individuals, excluding case 1, who had no previous mutation analysis. Of the mutations identified, 9 (50%) were located in FSHR, 5 (27.8%) in TUBB8, 1 (5.6%) in ZP1, 1 (5.6%) in SLFN14, 1 (5.6%) in AR, and 1 (5.6%) in STEAP3. Apart from one woman with resistant ovary syndrome (ROS), none treated with unstimulated IVM had oocyte maturation. Remarkably, the only patient to achieve oocyte maturation in an unstimulated IVM cycle was case 11, who had ROS and a single FSHR variant.
Conclusion: Unstimulated, non-hCG primed IVM does not appear to be effective in the treatment of OMAs, perhaps with the exception of women with ROS. However, this study led our team to develop novel treatment options based on physiological mechanisms for some subtypes and supraphysiological approach for other subtypes of OMAs
The impact of work-related musculoskeletal pains on routine tasks among operating room nurses: A multicenter cross-sectional study
Get PDFPurpose: To determine work-related musculoskeletal pain (MSP) among 105 operating room nurses (ORNs) and its effect on their routine work. Design: Multicenter cross-sectional design. Methods: This study was conducted with 105 nurses working in operating rooms of five different hospitals between December 15, 2021, and February 15, 2022. Data were collected using the “Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire.” SPSS 22.0 was used for data analysis, and a significance level of p < .05 was established. Results: Among the nurses, 75.2% were female, 78.1% had undergraduate education, and 59% worked >40 hours/week. In the previous 12 months, 69.5% of ORNs experienced lower back pain; 68.6%, neck pain; and 61.9%, back pain. The duration spent working as a scrub nurse increased the possibility of experiencing pain in the hands, wrists, back, shoulders, and lower back region (p < .05), and women had an increased risk of lower back and back pain (p < .05). Neck, lower back, back, wrist, and hand pain increased the risk of being unable to perform daily tasks (p < .05). Conclusions: Extended work hours as a scrub nurse increase the risk of MSP, including lower back region, neck, and back pain among ORNs. Women have a higher risk of lower back and back pain. Addressing musculoskeletal issues in this profession is crucial. Clinical Implications: Addressing musculoskeletal discomfort is vital because of its impact on nurses’ job performance and potential patient harm. Providing ergonomic equipment, training nurses on musculoskeletal health, and raising awareness can help. It is also important to encourage regular breaks. © 2024 American Society for Pain Management Nursin
Thiram determination in milk samples by surface plasmon resonance based on molecularly ımprinted polymers and sulphur-doped titanium dioxide
Get PDFIn this work, a new surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on sulphur-doped titanium dioxide (S-TiO2) nanostructures and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was presented for thiram (THI) determination in milk samples. Firstly, the S-TiO2 nanomaterial with a high product yield was prepared by using a facile sol-gel hydrolysis technique with a high product yield. After that, UV polymerization was carried out for the preparation of the THI-imprinted SPR chip based on S-TiO2 using a mixture including ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker, N,N′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator, and methacryloylamidoglutamicacid (MAGA) as the monomer. The reliability of the sensor preparation procedure has been successfully proven by characterization studies of the prepared nanomaterials and SPR chip surfaces through spectroscopic, microscopic, and electrochemical methods. As a result, the prepared SPR sensor showed linearity in the range of 1.0 × 10−9–1.0 × 10−7 M with a detection limit (LOD) of 3.3 × 10−10 M in the real samples, and a sensor technique for THI determination with high sensitivity, repeatability, and selectivity can be included in the literature. © 2024 by the authors

The research was conducted with 62 individuals (31 men, 31 women) who were registered to the Moral Evi of Gaziantep and agreed to participate in the study. With the questionnaire, individuals; information on socio-demographic and health status, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) to evaluate nutritional status, 24-hour food consumption, anthropometric measurements, Mini Mental Assessment Test (MMDT) to evaluate psychosocial and cognitive status, Beck Depression Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale, For biophysical evaluation, Edmonton Frail Scale and Sarcopenia Rapid Screening Test (SARC-F) were applied. The average age of the patients was found to be 75.3±6.1, and 83.9% were 70 years or older. According to their body mass index, 74.2% are above their normal weight and malnutrition has not been detected, but according to MNA, 56.5% are at risk of malnutrition and 3.2% are malnourished. While there was a moderate positive correlation between MNA score and energy and protein intake (r=.309; p=.015), (r=.388; p=.002); a moderate negative correlation was found with the Edmonton frailty score (r=-.361; p=.004). A low negative correlation was found between Body Mass Index (BMI) and energy intake (r=-.299; p=.018). Energy intake and MNA score were positively moderate (r=.309; p=.015); A low positive relationship was found with protein intake (r=.704; p=.000), a low negative relationship with body mass index (r=-.299; p=.018), and a moderate positive relationship with SARC-F. (r=.323; p=.011). There is a moderate positive relationship between protein intake and MNA score (r=.388; p=.002), and a moderate positive relationship with energy intake (r=.704; p=.000). A moderate negative relationship was found between hand grip strength and Edmonton frailty score (r=-.307; p=.015) and SARC-F score (r=-.415; p=.001). There was a negative correlation between Edmonton frailty score and MNA score (r=-.361; p=.004), a negative correlation with hand grip strength (r=-.307; p=.015), a negative correlation with SARC-F (r=- .415; p=.001), a moderate positive relationship was found with depression score (r=.304; p=.016). With SARC-F score, energy intake is negatively low (r=-.266; p=.027), hand grip strength is negatively (r=-.415; p=.001), and Edmonton frailty score is positive (r= .634; p=.000), anxiety and depression scores had a moderate positive correlation (r=.303; p=.017), (r=.263; p=.039). A moderate positive correlation was found between anxiety score and SARC-F, depression mini mental state test (r=.303; p=.017), (r=.620; p=.000), (r=.320; p=.011). A moderate positive correlation was found between depression score and Edmonton frailty score (r=.304; p=.016) and anxiety (r=.620; p=.000), and a low negative correlation was found with SARC-F (r=.263). ; p=.039). Mini mental assessment test had a moderate positive correlation with anxiety (r=.320; p=.011). When looking at the relationships with nutritional status in this study, malnutrition; energy and protein intake were associated with sarcopenia and BMI. Sarcopenia has been found to be associated with energy, cognition, fragility, anxiety and depression. In evaluating the nutritional status of Alzheimer's patients, it is important to perform biophysical tests and screening tests in addition to anthropometric measurements. In addition to malnutrition, evaluation of nutritional intake is recommended in the presence of sarcopenia
