On innovations of the multivariable fractional Hardy-type inequalities on time scales
Get PDFFractional integral-type inequalities, dynamic equations, integral operators and variable exponents have an important place in time scales theory and harmonic analysis. Our main goal in this study is to obtain the multivariable fractional Hardy-type integral inequality using a new version of Jensen’s inequality for super-quadratic and sub-quadratic functions on time scales with variable exponents
The relationship between unemployment anxiety, job satisfaction and migration attitude among the next generation of Turkish nurses: A cross-sectional study
No full textBackground: The global nursing shortage is complex and multifaceted. Despite the policy of increasing the number of nurses, concerns about the sustainability of the nursing workforce in Turkey continue.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between unemployment anxiety, job satisfaction, and migration attitudes among Turkish nursing candidates.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1100 nursing candidates between April and June 2022. The data gathered from the "Personal Form, Job Satisfaction, and Brain Drain Attitudes Scale" were analyzed using logistic regression and decision tree analysis.
Results: Of the participants, 67.1% were female, and the mean age was 22.6 ± 1.7 years. Being male (OR = 1.317, 95% Cl 0.994-1.743) having a low income (OR = 1.754, 95% Cl 1.334-2.306), feeling insecure about the future (OR = 2.340, 95% Cl 1.312-4.175), expecting a lower wage than desired (OR = 2.015, 95% Cl 1.132-3.586), and employment precariousness (OR = 1.786, 95% Cl 1.355-2.353) increase the possibility of experiencing high unemployment anxiety. On the other hand, family support for living abroad (OR = 0.579, 95% CI 0.408-0.821) and job satisfaction (OR = 0.799, 95% CI 0.692-0.921) decrease unemployment anxiety (p < 0.05). According to the results of the decision tree analysis, the host country's pull factors are the best predictors of the nursing candidates' intention to work abroad as nurses (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The increasing prevalence of unemployment anxiety and migration tendencies among nursing candidates requires the evaluation of policies aimed at increasing the number of nursing graduates in Turkey
Independent or chain-affiliated hotel? The dilemma of hotel employees
Get PDFPurpose – This study examines the relationships between hospitality work experience factors
and employees’ preference to work in a chain or independent hotel.
Methodology/Design/Approach – Quantitative data were collected from hotel employees in
Bulgaria who worked in independent and chain hotels. A total of 150 valid responses were
used to conduct factor and regression analyses.
Findings – The results illustrate that chain hotels provide a better set of operational
standards and guidelines, more and better training than independent ones. They also give
more opportunities to their employees for career development, better job security and work
experience, but competition among employees in chain hotels is higher than in independent
properties, and their employees’ salaries are not always more competitive. The factor analysis
showed the existence of five factors. Additionally, ‘Communication and decision-making’ and
‘Resources and planning’ were more important than ‘Remuneration and working conditions’
and ‘Training and development’ in shaping employees’ preferences. However, ‘Workload and
stress’ was not an important driver of respondents’ choice. Finally, demographic variables had
no role in shaping respondents’ preferences.
Originality of the research – This paper is one of the first to examine the factors that influence
hotel employees’ preferences for working in chains or independent hotels
The Effect of COVID-19 Fear in Patients and Clinical Nurses on Night Nursing Care
No full textThis study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of fear of COVID-19 in patients and clinical nurses on night nursing care. This was a cross-sectional study. The research sample consisted of 604 patients and 270 clinical nurses selected by the convenience sampling method. Data were collected between August 2021 and July 2022 using a Patients’ Information form, a Nurse’s Information form, the Fear of COVID-19 scale, and the Night Nursing Care instrument. No significant difference was found between the total mean scores of the patients and the nurses on the Fear of COVID-19 scale or the Night Nursing Care instrument (rho = –0.017, p = .702; rho = –0.020, p = .741). It was found that patients’ and nurses’ fears of COVID-19 did not affect their perceptions of night nursing care
Evidence from Turkish and Syrian People for the Measurement Invariance of the CBBE Scale and Clues for the Distribution Strategies of the Brands
No full textPurpose: This research aims to test the measurement invariance of the consumer-based brand equity scale on Turkish and Syrian university students who live together but are from different cultural groups. Research design, data, and methodology: The consumer-based brand equity scale developed by Buil et al. (2008) is applied to the participants. In testing the consumer-based brand equity scale, the Netflix brand, which is considered well-known by both cultural groups, is preferred. It is thought that choosing an internationally recognized brand would facilitate the conduct of this research. Structural invariance and measurement invariance are tested using structural equation modeling. Results: The consumer-based brand equity scale has measurement invariance on Turkish and Syrian university students. Therefore, it has been revealed that the responses of participants from both cultures regarding the Netflix brand are comparable. Conclusion: The findings of the study provide clues for practitioners to review their distribution strategies. As a matter of fact, cultural studies conducted in different countries are common. Still, the originality of this study is ensured by the profile of participants who live in the same country but come from different countrie

Is There a Relationship Between First-Trimester Aneuploidy Screening Serum Biomarker Values and Nuchal Translucency Measurements and the Development of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in Premature Infants?
Get PDFPurpose The purpose of this study is the evaluation of serum biomarker and nuchal translucency (NT) values measured during first-trimester aneuploidy screening in terms of the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature infants and investigation of whether the development of ROP is associated with these parameters. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 3,750 premature infants who underwent ROP screening from 2016 to 2021 were identified from the hospital medical record system. Among 2,130 premature babies screened for first-trimester aneuploidy, 166 babies whose mothers had single pregnancies were screened by the same method and showed the same clinical course in both eyes were included in the study. The infants were divided into two groups according to the presence of ROP, and those with ROP were further evaluated in two groups according to the presence of proliferation. The groups were compared in terms of the serum values of human chorionic gonadotropin and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, among aneuploidy screening biomarkers, and NT measurements. Results There was no significant difference in the evaluated serum biomarker values and NT measurements between the ROP and non-ROP groups or between the proliferative ROP, non-proliferative ROP, and non-ROP groups. Conclusion Our results showed that first-trimester aneuploidy screening serum biomarker values and NT measurements were not associated with the development of ROP in premature infants

Identification of cotton and corn plant areas by employing deep transformer encoder approach and different time series satellite images: A case study in Diyarbakir, Turkey
No full textIt is very important to determine the crops in the agricultural field in a short time and accurately. Thanks to the satellite images obtained from remote sensing sensors, information can be obtained on many subjects such as the detection and development of agricultural products and annual product forecasting. In this study, it is aimed to automatically detect agricultural crops (corn and cotton) by using Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite image indexes via a new deep learning approach (Deep Transformer Encoder). This work was carried out in several stages, respectively. In the first stage, a pilot area was determined to obtain Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite images of agricultural crops used in this study. In the second stage, the coordinates of 100 sample points from this pilot area were taken with the help of GPS and these coordinates were then transferred to Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite images. In the next step, reflection and backscattering values were obtained from the pixels of the satellite images corresponding to the sample points of these agricultural crops. While creating the data sets of satellite images, the months of June, July, August and September for the years 2016–2021, when the development and harvesting times of agricultural products are close to each other, were preferred. The image data set used in the study consists of a total of 434 images for Sentinel-1 satellite and a total of 693 images for Landsat-8. At the last stage, the datasets obtained from different satellite images were evaluated in three different categories for crop identification with the aid of Deep Transformer Encoder approach. These are: (1-) Crop identification with only Sentinel-1 dataset, (2-) Crop identification only with Landsat-8 dataset, (3-) Crop identification with both Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 datasets. The results showed that 85%, 95% and 87.5% accuracy values were obtained from the band parameters of Sentinel-1 dataset, Landsat-8 dataset and Sentinel-1&Landsat-8 datasets, respectivel
Early puberty paradox: an investigation of anxiety levels of mothers and children, children's quality of life, and psychiatric diagnoses
Get PDFEarly puberty signs lead to an increase in anxiety levels of parents and children. The aim of this study was to investigate the
quality of life and anxiety levels of girls and their mothers who were admitted to a pediatric endocrinology clinic with concerns about early puberty. Girls and their mothers who were admitted to endocrinology outpatient clinic with concerns about
early puberty were compared to healthy control group. Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED)
parent form, Quality of Life for Children Scale (PedsQL) parent form, and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered
to the mothers. Children were evaluated with the Schedule for Afective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children
(Kiddie-SADS Lifetime Version) (K-SADS-PL). The study sample consisted of 92 girls and 62 of them were administered
to clinic with concerns about early puberty. There were 30 girls in early puberty group (group 1), 32 girls were in the normal
development group (group 2), and 30 were in the healthy control group (group 3). The anxiety level of group 1 and group
2 was signifcantly higher, and their quality of life was signifcantly lower when compared to group 3 (p<0.001). Mother’s
anxiety level was found signifcantly higher in group 2 (p<0.001). It has shown that anxiety level and quality of life of
children were associated with anxiety level of mothers and the current Tanner stage (r=0.302, p<0.005).
Conclusion: Mothers and children who have concerns about early puberty are negatively afected when early puberty is a
possibility. For this reason, educating parents will prevent negative impacts of this situation on children. At the same time,
it will decrease health burden
