The Relationship between CO2 Emissions, Economic Growth, and Health Expenditures: An Empirical Application for Turkey and Selected Countries
No full textÇevre kirliliği, sağlık harcamaları ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki son dönemlerde akademik literatürde odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada Türkiye, Brezilya, Meksika, Çin, Hindistan ve Güney Afrika’da 2000-2016 arası dönemde CO2 emisyonları, ekonomik büyüme ile sağlık harcamaları arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığı Panel Veri analizi ile araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın ampirik bulguları, sağlık harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında çift yönlü, sağlık harcamaları ile CO2 emisyonları arasında çift yönlü ve ekonomik büyüme ile CO2 emisyonları arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkilerinin olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu sonuç, literatürde mevcut geribildirim hipotezini (Çift Yönlü Nedensellik) desteklemektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde uygun sağlık harcama düzeyi, daha iyi çevresel kalite ve daha yüksek sosyal refah düzeyinin birbiri ile bağlantılı politika önlemleri ile gerçekleştirilebileceği noktasında politika yapıcılar için ampirik kanıtlar sunmaktadır.The relationship between environmental pollution, health expenditures, and economic growth have become a controversial topic in academic literature in recent years. In this study, whether there is a relationship among CO2 emissions, economic growth, and health expenditures in Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, and South Africa for the period between 2000 and 2016 was studied using Panel Data analysis. The empirical findings of the study show that there is a bilateral causality relationship between health expenditures and economic growth, that there is a bilateral causality relationship between CO2 emissions and health expenditures, and that there is bilateral causality relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions. This result fortifies the feedback hypothesis (Bilateral Causality) in the literature. The results of the study present empirical evidence for policymakers on the fact that appropriate health expenditure level, a better environmental quality, and a higher welfare level can be made possible in developing countries through intertwined policy precautions
On Approaches to Defining Islamic Philosophy
Get PDFİslâm’da felsefî geleneğin “İslâm felsefesi” tabiriyle müsemma olması günümüzde artık kabul gören bir tabirdir. Fakat bu tabirin nasıl tanımlandığı ya da tanımlanması gerektiği konusunda bir mutabakattan bahsedilemez. İslâm felsefesine çeşitli açılardan yapılan tanımları eleştirel bir yaklaşımla ele alan bu makale, İslâm felsefesinde bir tanımlama problemi olduğu iddiasından hareket etmektedir. Makalede İslâm felsefesini tarihsel açıdan ele alan ve onu ana kaynakları ile evrensel misyonu bakımından tavsif eden tanımlar iki ayrı başlık altında değerlendirilerek bu tanımların İslâm felsefesinin mahiyeti ve kapsamını ne ölçüde ifade ettikleri tartışılmıştır. Bahse konu edilen tanımlarda terkipte yer alan “İslâm” lafzının, din olarak İslâm’a mı, İslâm medeniyetine mi, İslâm’ın hüküm sürdüğü belli bir coğrafyaya mı, yoksa İslâm’ın ana kaynakları ve evrensel ilkelerine mi işaret ettiği konusunda bir ihtilaf söz konusudur. Çalışmada amaç, mevcut tanımları değerlendirerek İslâm felsefesini sadece bir coğrafî sınıra ve belirli bir tarihî kesite mahkûm etmeden daha kapsamlı bir biçimde tanımlayan yaklaşımları öne çıkarmak ve böylece süregelen tanımlama probleminde alternatif bir çözüm ortaya koymaktır.Naming the philosophical tradition in Islam as "Islamic philosophy" is an accepted phrase nowadays. However, there is no consensus on how this term is or should be defined. This article, which deals with the definitions of Islamic philosophy from various angles with a critical approach, starts by addressing the claim that there is a definition problem in Islamic philosophy. In the article, the definitions that deal with Islamic philosophy historically and characterize it in terms of its main sources and its universal mission are evaluated under two separate headings, and to what extent these definitions express the nature and scope of Islamic philosophy are discussed. In the aforementioned definitions, there is a dispute as to whether the word "Islam" in the composition of Islamic philosophy refers to Islam as a religion, to the Islamic civilization, to a certain geography where Islam prevails, or to the main sources and universal principles of Islam. The aim of the study is to highlight approaches that define Islamic philosophy more comprehensively without restricting it to only a geographical boundary and a specific historical section, and thus to present an alternative solution to the ongoing definition problem

In this context, in-depth interviews and participatory observation were conducted with a total of 15 individuals from various age groups including 3 museum officers and 5 children with snowball sampling method by using qualitative research techniques. In the study, it was observed that edutainment practices increased the interests of museum visitors to the museum by including them to the active learning processes and presented an exciting and unforgettable museum experience. Educational activities conducted with workshops which is an entertaining way of providing the continuity of cultural identity transformed the museum into an environment in which children learn while having fun, in other words, a student environment
Rapid green synthesis of gold nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial activities
No full textIn this research, an easy and environmentally friendly method was presented for the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with Allium ampeloprasum (AA) leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The maximum absorption peak was found to be around 535 nm with ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectrophotometer. When the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyzes were examined, it was seen that the crystal size of the synthesized AuNPs was between 6.02-17.36 nm and their shape was mostly spherical. The size of the crystal structures of AuNPs was calculated as 22.76 nm from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis data. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy results showed that phenolics, aromatic compounds and proteins were effective in the reduction and stabilization of AA-AuNPs. The average size of AuNPs was determined as 96.46 nm with Zetasizer. It was determined that AuNPs have a very strong inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtillis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Candida albicans by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method
THE EFFECT OF COOKING AND COLD STORAGE PROCESSES ON FLORFENICOL RESIDUES IN MUSCLE TISSUES OF STURGEON (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) REARED IN BLACK SEA
No full textThis research was performed to determine the effect of boiling, grilling and cold storage processes on florfenicol residues in muscle tissues of sturgeons. A total of 16 sturgeons, 10 of which have received single dosage of florfenicol at 10 mg kg(-1) bw day(-1) level and remaining 6 have not received any florfenicol were used in this study. The analyses were performed by HPLC. The mean recovery rate and repeatability pooled-RSD r% of analytical method for florfenicol analysis of sturgeon muscle were determined as 83.4 +/- 1.07% and 17% respectively. The florfenicol levels were 40.30 +/- 8.23% in the muscle tissue of boiled fish, 57.80 +/- 7.46% in the boiling juice, 101.10 +/- 4.01% in the grilled tissue and 78.01 +/- 15.40% and 62.36 +/- 11.60% in the muscle tissues of fishes, which were stored at -20 degrees C, on the 20th and 50th days respectively. The initial florfenicol level in the fish muscle was significantly reduced (P<0.05) by boiling and cold storage processes. A decrease occurred in florfenicol level in boiling process due to the transfer from muscle tissue to boiling juice, and there was no decrease in the florfenicol level as a result of grilling
Biosynthesis of AgNPs by extract from waste leaves of Citrullus lanatus sp. (watermelon); characterization, antibacterial and antifungal effects
Get PDFSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are valuable materials with a large number of sectors used. Green synthesis is very important for biomedical applications as they show biocompatible properties. In this study, AgNPs were easily synthesized using the environmentally friendly green synthesis approach using agricultural waste parts of Citrullus lanatus sp. plant grown in Diyarbakır region. Characterization of synthesized AgNPs was made. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was used to evaluate the phytochemicals responsible for effective reduction in the formation of AgNPs. UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis.) Spectra were also used to determine the presence of AgNPs. X-Ray Diffraction Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope, Zeta potential analyzes were performed to define the crystal structures, dimensions and surface charges of AgNPs, respectively. In these data, it was determined that AgNPs showed maximum absorbance at 460 nm, spherical appearance, 21.27 crystal nano size and -30.05 mV zeta potential. Antimicrobial effects of AgNPs on gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) bacteria, gram negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria, as well as on fungus C. albicans pathogenic microorganisms It was analyzed by specifying the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) by microdilution
The iron age dogs from alaybeyi höyük, eastern anatolia
Get PDFTo date, little is known about the biological and cultural status of Iron Age dogs in Anatolia. Here, we present a zooarchaeological study of an assemblage of 143 Iron Age dog bones, including two dog skeletons, unearthed from the 2016 and 2017 salvage excavations at Alaybeyi Höyük, Eastern Anatolia. At least eight adults and one juvenile individual, along with a large number of miscellaneous specimens, were identified. The morphological status of the Alaybeyi dogs were primarily compared to previously published Iron Age dogs from Yoncatepe in Eastern Anatolia, and with the average mean of 18 modern dog breeds. Unlike in other Eastern Anatolian Iron Age sites, butcher marks were observed in some specimens, indicating at least occasional cynophagy at the site. Noticeable pathologies were found in about 5% of the sample, particularly pathologies of the oral cavity and dentitions, suggesting that some of the dogs at Alaybeyi Höyük might have been undernourished, had to live on solid food, and probably injured by humans. The results of this study reflect both the morphological and biological status of Alaybeyi dogs, as well as the Alaybeyi people’s attitudes toward dogs, adding vital information to the very limited archaeological knowledge of dogs in Anatolia

No full textAbstract
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine and understand the experiences of tourists in the
Turkish coffee houses in Istanbul, Turkey.
Design/methodology/approach – In this study, a qualitative case study method was used to analyze
tourists’ comments with user-generated content technique by analyzing tourists’ comments. The data
used in the study was collected through TripAdvisor, which is considered one of the most famous
websites with tourist reviews and comments, between 20 May and 10 June 2020 from tourists’ reviews
(n:219).
Findings – The findings show that Turkish coffee house experiences are heterogeneous based on the
dimensions of coffee characteristics, place, satisfaction, recommendation and revisit intention, value/
price and value-added experience. Moreover, value-added experience includes some sub-themes such
as a memorable experience, authentic experience and culture learning experience.
Originality/value – There are some studies on Turkish coffee and Turkish coffee culture in the literature,
but there have been no empirical studies investigating the Turkish coffee house experiences of tourists.
For this reason, this study aims to examine and understand the experiences of tourists in Turkish coffee
houses. Therefore, it is believed that this study will fill the current gap in the literature on tourists’
experiences of Turkish coffee houses
