Material analysis for restoration application: a case study of the world’s first university Mor Yakup Church in Nusaybin, Mardin
No full textThe Mor Yakup Church, located in the Nusaybin District of Mardin, is known as the world’s frst educational university
in history and represents one of the oldest Christian medieval monuments. In this study, it is aimed to determine the
factors of the strength problems of the structure by investigating the characterization of building materials and what
kind of factors afect the material behavior with various observational and experimental methods. It was determined
that the main deterioration types in the materials of the building were erosion, fractures, loss of parts and the dissolve of the joint mortars between the masonry work on the facades. Since the materials used in the construction of
the building are unable in terms of physico-mechanics, it has been determined that the severe continental climate
conditions prevailing in the region easily cause such physical deterioration on the construction materials. In addition,
the presence of clays in the conventional mortar used in the building has been defned as an internal problem that
causes the material to get tired with the osmotic pressure it creates by absorbing water. A very high rate of salinization was detected in the building materials of the building and it was observed that this salting was caused by the
acid efect caused by air pollution and the portland cement used in the previous repairs in the building. Finally, this
study presents restoration recommendations to repair the material deterioration in the building and to prevent its
occurrence in the future

Gastronomic Experience
No full textToday, the phenomenon of food has transformed from the satisfaction of a physiological need into a hedonic experience. Gastronomy has an important role in this transformation. Gastronomy is an interdisciplinary phenomenon and many academic disciplines address this phenomenon from different perspectives (Seyitoğlu & Çalışkan, 2018:524). Tourism is one of these fields. The fact that gastronomy offers touristic experience, supports local development and sustainable tourism, and provides tourists with more permanent and unforgettable experiences can be explained as the main issues examined between gastronomy and tourism (Nebioğlu, 2016:7). In this context, the concept of experience has a critical importance for the tourism sector. Tourists see gastronomic experience as an important part of their travel motivation and enrich their travel experience by having a gastronomic experience during their travels (Agyeiwaah et al., 2019:295).
Food and beverage activities are an important element that reflects the natural resources and cultural heritage of a society as well as a basic lifelong human need. In this context, gastronomy tourism can be explained as a type of tourism that creates travel motivation towards a particular destination to experience a new local food and beverage experience and is effective in determining travel behaviors. In addition, gastronomy tourism is a concept that refers to the movement of tourists who visit food and beverage producers, food festivals, restaurants and special gastronomic venues to try a certain type of food or witness the production process of a dish (Hall & Sharples, 2003:10). Thanks to gastronomy tourism, tourists can both get to know the culture, history, geography and people of the region and have a gastronomic experience.
Gastronomic experience basically includes food experiences. In terms of gastronomy tourism, it can be defined as the sensory, emotional, cognitive, behavioral and relational reactions that tourists experience as a result of the activities carried out. This experience is related to how tourists perceive, evaluate, feel and remember food and beverages. Gastronomic experience is a complex and dynamic process that is influenced by various components such as the characteristics of the food and the aesthetics of its presentation, the characteristics of the individual, the atmosphere of the environment and the social environment. These components not only constitute the whole gastronomic experience but also interact with each other. It is important to understand each component to enhance the quality and satisfaction of the gastronomic experience. Explaining the components of the gastronomic experience will be beneficial for both the producers and consumers of the experience.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between tourism and gastronomy and to examine the gastronomic experience conceptually. In line with the purpose of the study, a literature review was conducted and theoretical and empirical studies on tourism, gastronomy, gastronomic experience and the components of gastronomic experience were reviewed. In this context, the study first examined the relationship between tourism and gastronomy. Then, the concept of gastronomic experience is explained and the components that make up the gastronomic experience are evaluated in line with the purpose of the study
Non-ST Yükselmeli Miyokard Enfarktüsü Sonrası Ticagrelor Kullanan Bir Hastada Semptomsuz Derin Trombositopeni: Bir Vaka Raporu
No full textGiriş: Ticagrelor, trombosit P2Y12 reseptörünü etkin bir şekilde inhibe eden güçlü bir oral ilaçtır (1) ve trombosit aktivasyonunun merkezi bir amplifikasyon yolunu hem doğrudan hem de aktif bir metabolit aracılığıyla engeller (2). İlaç, günde iki kez verildiğinde dolaşımda tutarlı bir şekilde hızlı başlangıç ve sonlanışa sahip anti-trombosit etkisi gösterir (3). Ticagrelor, geri döndürülebilir özelliklere sahiptir, ters agonist özelliklere sahiptir ve anti-trombotik, anti- enflamatuar ve damar genişletici özelliklere katkı sağlayan pleiotropik etkiler sergiler (4).
Vaka Sunumu: 45 yaşında erkek hasta, göğüs ağrısı şikayeti ile acil servise başvurdu. Troponin pozitifliği saptandıktan sonra Non-ST Yükselmeli Miyokard Enfarktüsü (NSTEMI) tanısı ile koroner yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırıldı. Hastaya, 2 (180 mg) ticagrelor tablet, 300 mg asetilsalisilik asit (ASA) tablet ve 10.000 ünite Unfraksiyone Heparin (UFH) i.v. olarak verildi. Hasta acil servise gelişinde yapılan kan testlerinde trombosit değerinin 225.000 olduğu görüldü. Hastaya Doppler ekokardiyografi uygulandı; Ejeksiyon fraksiyonu (EF) %50, segmenter duvar hareket bozukluğu, sol ventrikül hipertrofisi (LVH), sol ventrikül diyastolik disfonksiyonu (LVDD) saptandı. Sol radial arterden yapılan koroner anjiyografi ile LAD-D1 seviyesinde %99 darlığa stent implante edildi (Şekil 1).
Revaskülarizasyon sonrası hastaya ASA 100 mg tb 1x1, tikagrelor 90 mg tb 2x1, atorvastatin 40 mg tb 1x1, metoprolol 50 mg tb 1x1 tedavisine devam edildi. Hastanın 3 günlük hastane takibinde trombosit değerlerinin normal olduğu görüldü. Taburculukta hasta mevcut ilaçları reçete edilerek taburcu edildi. Yaklaşık 1 hafta sonra kontrol amaçlı polikliniğe başvuran hastanın yapılan rutin tetkiklerinde trombosit sayısı 38.000 olarak görüldü. Bir gün sonra kontrol amaçlı tekrar trombosit değeri görüldü ve trombosit sayısı 36.000 görüldü. Hastanın PKG sonrası, hastane yatışında ve taburculuğunda Fraksiyone Olmayan Heparin (UFH) veya Düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparin (LMWH) almadığı göz önüne alındığında trombositopeninin heparine bağlı trombositopeni olmadığı düşünüldü.
Nitekim hastanın yapılan periferik kan yaymalarında şistosit ve mikroanjiopatik hemoliz düşündüren diğer anormalliklere rastlanmadı (Şekil 2.)
Hastada trombositopeniye neden olacak başka bir hastalık veya durum bulunmadığından hastanın tikagreloru kesildi ve klopidogrel 75 mg tb 1x1 başlandı. Hastanın hastaneye kabülünden, taburculuk sonrası kontrolüne kadar olan hematolojik parametreleri tablo 1’ de gösterilmiştir.
Hastanın altı (6) gün sonra ölçülen trombosit sayısının (174.000) normale döndüğü görüldü
A Stylistic Approach to Thomas Campion’s “There Is a Garden in Her Face”
Get PDFLiterary works come into existence through authors’ use of language units in particular ways. Style is considered as the choice of linguistic characteristics from all the probabilities in language. Stylistics attempts to create an interaction of readers with the language of a literary text to clarify how a reader understands the text. This study examines how Thomas Campion manipulated basic linguistic features to form stylistic effects in order to produce meaning in "There Is a Garden in Her Face". The analysis involves lexical, semantic, grammatical (syntactic), graphological, and phonological (sound pattern) levels. It helps to clarify the context of the poem. The stylistic analysis shows that the poem is very carefully constructed. All three stanzas in the poem are grammatically parallel to each other and deal with the lady’s beauty whose face is compared to a garden of heavenly paradise where every kind of delicious fruit grows there. The unity of the poem is secured by the refrain describing a beautiful lady’s lips. The graphological deviation shows a system of capitalization to foreground important words such as “Roses” and “white Lilies” in the poem to represent love/passion, and innocence/purity. The phonetic parallelism reinforces the system of parallel meaning in terms of alliteration and assonance. The poem is based mostly on similes and metaphors to make the imagery of the flowers and fruit growing in a garden much more vivid. With this, the lady’s physical features are portrayed. The noun cherry is used with the adjective sacred which portrays that the lady’s lips have not been touched or kissed by anyone. The same line which is repeated at the end of each stanza foregrounds that this beautiful lady is unattainable unless if she says her lips are fully ripe to become most valuable. Here, female beauty signals the ideals of Elizabethan beauty: white skin, blushing cheeks, and red lips. This study shows how Campion has been able to manipulate language which is an integral part of a literary work. Campion has created changes through a systemic use of language to get his message across to readers. This study may help researchers understand how Campion used stylistic tools in his poem
