“The Water’s Very Nice, Come On!”: The mediating role of event satisfaction in the relationship between flow experience and personal well-being
Full text linkThe study aimed to investigate the mediating role of event satisfaction in the relationship between recreational flow experience and personal well-being in a sample participating in swimming events. A total of 301 volunteers participated in this research, comprising 139 females (46.2%) and 162 males (53.8%). The ages of participants varied from 18-60 years (Meanage = 35.44±7.84). As data collection tools, the Recreational Flow Experience Scale (RFES), Event Satisfaction Scale (ESS), and Personal Well-Being Index-Adult (PWBI-A) were used. In accordance with the basic aim of the study, mediation analysis was performed using the PROCESS macro for data analysis. When the correlation coefficients related to the scales were investigated, statistically moderate and high levels of positive significant correlations were identified between the mean scores for recreational flow experience, event satisfaction, and personal well-being among individuals participating in swimming events (p < 0.01). The analysis results indicate that recreational flow experience had a positive and direct significant effect on personal well-being (β = 0.22; p < 0.01). Additionally, event satisfaction was confirmed to play a mediating role in the relationship between recreational flow experience and personal well-being (β = 0.21; p < 0.01). The results show that individuals regularly participating in swimming events will have increased personal well-being mediated by the satisfaction they obtain from the event by experiencing flow. The study emphasizes the potential of flow experiences and event satisfaction to contribute to the well-being of individuals

Sağlık çalışanlarının örgütsel güven algılarının ihbar eğilimleri üzerindeki etkide örgütsel desteğin aracılık rolü
Full text linkThis study explores the mediating role of organizational support in the effect of healthcare workers' perceptions of organizational trust on their whistleblowing tendencies. The sample consists of 337 healthcare workers from 18 JCI-accredited private hospitals in Istanbul. Data were collected using scales measuring whistleblowing, organizational trust, and organizational support. The findings confirm that organizational trust positively influences both organizational support and whistleblowing tendencies. Furthermore, the perception of organisational support plays a full mediating role in the impact of organisational trust on the propensity to whistleblow. In order for the culture of whistleblowing to become widespread in healthcare institutions, it is essential to satisfy healthcare workers' feelings of support and trust.Bu çalışmada amaç, sağlık çalışanlarının örgütsel güven algılarının ihbar eğilimleri üzerindeki etkide örgütsel desteğin aracı rolünü belirlemektedir.

İhbar kültürünün sağlık kurumlarında yaygınlaşması için, sağlık çalışanlarının destek ve güven duygularının tatmin olması gerekmektedir
Mevsimlik tarım işçisi olan annelerin anne bekçiliği durumlarının 3-6 yaş çocuklarına yönelik duygusal istismar potansiyellerine etkisi
Full text linkDevelopment is a lifelong process. The roots of this process are formed from early childhood development. The biggest responsibility at this point also lies with the parents. The attitudes adopted in child raising have a direct effect on the personality development of children. From birth, the mother is responsible for caring for the child, creating a special bond between mother and child. The bond established with the father also supports the development of children. However, the mother may sometimes be an obstacle, consciously or unconsciously, in the child's bonding with the father. This obstacle is reflected in the concept of "maternal gatekeeping." "Maternal gatekeeping" not only affects the bonding process but can also lead to the emotional neglect of children. There may be various variables in the formation of maternal gatekeeping. Within the scope of this study, the emotional abuse potential of seasonal agricultural worker mothers, who are among the disadvantaged groups, towards their children aged 3-6 years in the context of maternal gatekeeping was examined in terms of various variables. Participants were administered the Socio-demographic Information Form, Preschool Period (3-6 Years) Maternal Gatekeeping Scale (MLSS): Mother Form, Emotional Abuse Potential Scale for Parents with Children of Age. The statistical analyses of the study were conducted using SPSS 25.00 and the Independent Samples t-test, a one-way analysis variance test when comparing according to demographic variables, and a Scheffe test after the variance analysis. According to the findings of the study, significant differences were found when age, years of marriage, educational status, family type, number of children, emotional abuse, and maternal gatekeeping scores were compared

No full textGünümüzde sağlık hizmetlerinin etkinliğini artırmada ve bireylerin sağlığını korumada akılcı ilaç kullanımı önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Akılcı ilaç kullanımının sağlanmasında, bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerinin belirli bir etken olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, bu araştırmanın temel amacı; Karaman ili Burhan Köyünde yaşayan vatandaşların sağlık okuryazarlığı ile akılcı kullanımın farkındalığı arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma evreni Karaman ili Burhan köyünde yaşayan 18-65 yaş arası bireylerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışma Haziran-Temmuz-Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında veriler toplanmıştır. Örneklem grubunu 364 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma nicel araştırma modeli ile planlanıp, iki ölçekten oluşmaktadır. Bunlar; sağlık okuryazarlık ölçeği ve akılcı ilaç kullanım farkındalığı ölçeğidir. Veriler yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin analizlerinde SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. İki gruplu değişkenler arasındaki ortalama farklılıkları incelemek için bağımsız örneklem t-testi, üç veya daha fazla grup içeren değişkenler için ise tek yönlü anova analizi kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler arasındaki ilişkinin yönünü ve derecesini belirlemek amacıyla Pearson korelasyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların akılcı ilaç kullanma düzeyi ortalaması 33,51 (15-75) iken sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi 31,24 (14-70) olarak saptanmıştır. Bu sonuç düşük düzeyde akılcı ilaç kullanımı ve sağlık okuryazarlığı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bireylerinin sağlık okuryazarlığı ile akılcı ilaç kullanma düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada kronik hastalığı bulunmayan bireylerin, kronik hastalığı olan bireylere kıyasla daha yüksek sağlık okuryazarlığına sahip olduğu (p= 0,015) ve sürekli ilaç kullanmayan bireylerin, sürekli ilaç kullananlara kıyasla daha yüksek sağlık okuryazarlığına sahip olduğu (p= 0,015) saptanmıştır. Sağlık profesyonellerinin bireylerin akılcı ilaç kullanımı ve sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerini değerlendirmeleri ve bu düzeyleri geliştirecek eğitim fırsatlarını zenginleştirmeleri önerilmektedir.Nowadays, rational drug use plays an important role in increasing the effectiveness of health services and protecting the health of individuals. It is suggested that the health literacy levels of individuals are a certain factor in ensuring rational drug use. In this context, the main purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the health literacy of citizens living in Burhan Village of Karaman Province and the awareness of rational use. The research population consists of individuals between the ages of 18-65 living in Burhan village of Karaman province. The study data was collected between June-July-August 2023. The sample group consists of 364 people. The study was planned with a quantitative research model and consists of two scales. These; health literacy scale and rational drug use awareness scale. Data were collected by face-to-face interview method. In the study, the data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Independent samples t-test was used to examine the mean differences between variables with two groups, and one-way anova analysis was used for variables containing three or more groups. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine the direction and degree of the relationship between the scales. The average level of rational drug use of the participants was 33.51 (15-75), while the health literacy level was 31.24 (14-71). This result revealed a low level of rational drug use and health literacy. It was determined that there was no statistically significant relationship between the health literacy of the individuals and the rational drug use levels. In the study, it was determined that individuals without chronic diseases had higher health literacy compared to individuals with chronic diseases (p= 0.015) and individuals who did not use regular medication had higher health literacy compared to those who used regular medication (p= 0.015). It is recommended that health professionals evaluate the rational drug use and health literacy levels of individuals and enrich educational opportunities that will improve these levels
Investigation of the effects of commercial pesticides on stem and bulb nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci)
No full textKimyasal mücadele bitki yetiştiriciliği döneminde bitkiye zarar veren hastalık ve zararlı etmenlerine müdahale imkanı sağlar. Bitki paraziti nematodlar konukçu bitki türleri üzerinde korteks ve öz bölgesinde toprak altı ve toprak üstü bitki organlarında yerleşerek bitki besin elementlerine ortak olmaktadırlar ve bitkinin gelişiminin gerilemesine ürün verim ve kalitesinin azalmasına neden olmaktadırlar. Bitki paraziti nematodların ekonomik değeri yüksek olan bitki türlerine sistemik etkili kimyasallar ile müdahalesinin ekonomik bir mücadele imkanı sağlayabileceği bildirilmektedir. Soğan ve sarımsak gibi yumrulu bitkiler de dünyada besin ve dolayısıyla ekonomik değeri yüksek önemli bitki türleridir. Soğan sak nematodu yurdumuzda %41-65 oranında verim kaybına neden olmaktadır. Soğan sak nematodunun mücadelesinde karantina tedbirleri ve kültürel mücadele uygulamaları ön planda bulunmaktadır. Yurdumuzda soğan sak nematoduna karşı ruhsatlandırılmış bir bitki koruma ürünü bulunmamaktadır. Diğer yandan soğan yetiştiriciliğinde yoğun bir şekilde kullanılan kimyasalların enfekte topraklardaki soğan sak nematoduna karşı etkileri hakkında bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen tez çalışması ile soğan yetiştiriciliğinde kullanılan fungisit ve insektisitlerin soğan sak nematodu üzerindeki etkileri in vitro ve in vivo olarak araştırılmıştır. İn vitro çalışmalarda 375 g/l Pyrimethanil+125g/l Fluopyram aktif maddeli fungisitin önerilen dozda uygulandığında soğan sak nematoduna karşı % 92,7 oranında nematisidal aktivite gösterdiği, 100 g/l Cyantraniliprole aktif maddeli insektisit ve %80 Fosetyl-Al aktif maddeli fungisit 5 katı dozda uygulandığında sırasıyla % 96,3 ve %53,8 oranında nematisidal aktivite gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. İn vivo uygulamalarda bu pestisitlerin aktiviteleri arasında önemli bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Soğan yetiştirme alanlarında kullanılan fungisit ve insektisitlerin soğan sak nematodu üzerinde etkisinin bulunması nedeniyle, pratikte mücadele çalışmalarına katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.Chemical control provides the opportunity to intervene against diseases and pests that harm the plant during the plant growing period. Plant parasitic nematodes settle in the underground and aboveground plant organs in the cortex and central region of the host plant species, share the plant nutrients and reduce the development of the plant and decrease the yield and quality. It has been reported that the intervention of plant parasitic nematodes with systemic effective chemicals on plant species with high economic value can provide an economic opportunity for control. Tuberous plants such as onion and garlic are also important plant species with high nutritional and therefore economic value in the world. Stem and bulb nematode causes 41-65% yield loss in Türkiye. Quarantine measures and cultural control practices are at the forefront in the fight against stem and bulbnematode. There is no plant protection product registered against onion bast nematode in Türkiye. On the other hand, there is no study on the effects of chemicals used extensively in onion cultivation against stem and bulb nematode in infected soils. With the thesis study, the effects of fungicides and insecticides used in onion cultivation on stem and bulb nematode were investigated in vitro and in vivo. In in vitro studies, fungicide with 375 g/l Pyrimethanil+125g/l Fluopyram active ingredient showed 92.7% nematicidal activity against stem and bulb nematode when applied at the recommended dose. Insecticide with 100 g/l Cyantraniliprole active ingredient and fungicide with 80% Fosetyl-Al active ingredient was determined that they showed nematicidal activity of 96.3% and 53.8%, respectively, when applied at 5 fold of recomended dose. No significant difference was detected between the activities of these pesticides in in vivo applications. Since fungicides and insecticides used in onion growing areas have an effect on stem and bulbnematode, they are expected to contribute to combat efforts in practice
The psychological imagination of Turkish nationalism in the light of Ziya Gökalp and Yusuf Akçura
Full text linkBireyin kişisel kimliğinin yanında büyük grup kimliğine sahip olması, grup aidiyetini geliştirmesi bireyin davranışları üzerinde etkili olmaktadır. Alan yazınında büyük grup kimliklerinden biri olan milleti, grup aidiyetini, milli bilinci ve milliyetçiliği politik psikolojisi perspektifinden inceleyen birçok yaklaşım bulunmaktadır. Günümüzde benimsenen görüş Osmanlı milliyetçiliği idealinin yerini, bu idealist görüşü elimine eden Türk milliyetçiliği fikrinin aldığıdır. Türk milliyetçiliği Osmanlı milliyetçiliğinin gölgesinde ve ona karşı gelişmiştir. Bu çalışma Ziya Gökalp ve Yusuf Akçura’nın öncülüğünde ortaya çıkan Türk milliyetçiliği düşüncesinin psikolojik unsurlarını politik psikolojisi perspektifinden açıklama gayretindedir. Gökalp son kertede kültüre dayalı bir Türk milli bilincinin oluşmasına katkı sağlarken, Akçura ırkî özelliklerin öncülüğünde etnisite temelli bir Türk milliyetçiliği tasavvur etmiştir. Bu çalışmanın elde ettiği sonuca göre, her iki düşünür de sosyal kimlik kuramına uygun bir milli kimlik oluşturma yolunu tercih etmiş, Gökalp psikanalitik kurama, Akçura ise sosyal baskınlık ve biyopolitik kuramlara yakın bir şekilde milli kimlik bilincini şekillendirmiştir.Having a large group identity with an individual's personal identity and developing group belonging are effective through the individual's behavior. Within academic literature, there exist numerous approaches examining the concept of nation, group belonging, national consciousness, and nationalism from the perspective of political psychology, focusing on one of the major group identities, the nation. Presently, the prevailing perspective suggests that Turkish nationalism has replaced the ideal of Ottoman nationalism, eliminating the idealistic view. Turkish nationalism emerged in the shadow of Ottoman nationalism and in contrast to it. This study endeavors to elucidate the psychological elements of Turkish nationalism, which emerged under the leadership of Ziya Gökalp and Yusuf Akçura, from a political psychology perspective. While Gökalp ultimately contributed to the formation of a Turkish national consciousness based on culture, Akçura envisioned a Turkish nationalism based on ethnic characteristics. The result obtained from this study suggests that both thinkers preferred a path to form a national identity in accordance with social identity theory. Gökalp constructed national identity awareness in a way that is closer to psychoanalytic theory, while Akçura shaped it in a manner more aligned with theories of social dominance and biopolitics
Evaluación radiológica del volumen del proceso odontoideo mediante el uso de modelos tridimensionales (3d) digitales para la estimación del sexo y la edad: un estudio retrospectivo de tomografía computarizada de haz cónico
Full text linkOdontoid process is a very important anatomical structure for the craniovertebral junction. The first purpose of this study is to demonstrate that age and sex-dependent differences in odontoid process volume in a Turkish population can be defined, visualized, and measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The second aim is to evaluate the sex and age dimorphism degree of the odontoid process. And the third aim is to develop volume-based discrimination formulas. CBCT images of 150 people (75 females, 75 males, age range 12-73 years, mean age 27.34 years) were retrospectively analyzed. The odontoid process volumes were measured using InVivo Dental software. It was found that males had a statistically higher odontoid process volume than females (p = 0.001). Statistically, a decrease in odontoid process volume was detected with age (p 2733 mm3 for males. According to discriminant function analysis, 73.3 % females and 42.7 % males in total were correctly classified. According to the group centroid scores, values ??less than-0,601 indicate individuals over the age of 45, while values greater than 0.143 indicate individuals in the 12-18 age group. In total, 94.7 % of 12-18 age group and 8 % of 45 years and older individuals were correctly classified. According to the results obtained from this study, sex and age discriminant scores were moderate. However, the results of the present study show that odontoid process volume has strong potential to predict the under-18 age and older
Examining sirtuin-1 levels and ınflammation markers in behcet’s disease: A pilot study
No full textInterleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α are the principal proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to inflammatory activity in patients with Behcet’s disease (BD). The aim was to assess circulatory Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) levels in BD and evaluate potential relationships with disease activity scores and several inflammatory markers in order to investigate its potential as a disease activity marker. Materials and Methods: Forty patients with BD and 40 healthy volunteers matched for age and sex were enrolled. Demographic and clinical data were recorded, including family history of BD, smoking and alcohol consumption, height, weight, and comorbidities. Patients with BD were classified with respect to disease activity, treatments, and organ involvement. Disease activity was determined and categorized using the Behcet Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF). Inflammation markers and SIRT1 levels were studied in fasting blood samples. Results: C-reactive protein, IL-6, and TNF-α values were found to be significantly higher in patients with BD compared to controls, largely irrespective of disease activity. SIRT1 results were similar in patients and controls. SIRT1 measurements again showed no differences when compared across disease activity groups and patients with and without TNF-α blockade treatment. However, patients with concurrent vascular and ocular involvement appeared to have significantly lower SIRT1 levels when compared to patients with only ocular involvement. Conclusion: SIRT1 levels in the circulation of patients with BD appear to be similar to controls, regardless of disease activity or anti-TNF-α treatment; however, SIRT1 concentrations may be associated with vascular injury as demonstrated by significantly lower SIRT1 levels in patients with vascular + ocular involvement compared to those with only skin or ocular involvement
