The mediating role of emotional schemas on the relationship between parentification levels and psychological symptoms of clinical psychology graduate students
No full textBu çalışmada klinik psikoloji yüksek lisans öğrencilerinin ebeveynleşme düzeyleri, duygusal şemaları ve psikolojik belirtileri arasındaki doğrudan ve dolaylı ilişkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Tükiye'de öğrenim gören 118 (101 kadın ve 17 erkek) klinik psikoloji yüksek lisans öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın ölçüm araçlarını Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Leahy Duygusal Şema Ölçeği (LDŞÖ), Ebeveynleştirilmiş Çocuk Ölçeği (EÇÖ) ve Kısa Semptom Envanteri (KSE) oluşturmaktadır. Veriler; Pearson korelasyon analizi, regresyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modeli ile aracılık analizi üzerinden incelenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda; ebeveynleşme düzeyi, işlevsiz duygusal şemalar ve psikolojik belirtiler arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu bulunmuştur. Regresyon analizi ise ebeveynleşme düzeyi ve işlevsiz duygusal şemaların, psikolojik belirtilerin %42'sini açıkladığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca işlevsiz duygusal şemaların, ebeveynleşme düzeyi ve psikolojik belirtiler arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık ettiği ortaya konulmuştur. Mevcut çalışmanın sonuçları, ebeveynleşmenin ve duygulara yönelik tutumların terapi içerisinde de ele alınabilecek önemli konular olabileceğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca ebeveynleşmenin ve duygulara yönelik işlevsel olmayan tutumların birer risk faktörü olarak değerlendirilmesinin koruyucu ve önleyici müdahale programlarına da katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Son olarak, araştırmanın sonuçlarının klinik psikoloji yüksek lisans öğrencilerine hem mesleki hem de bireysel farkındalık kazandırması beklenmektedir.The aim of the study is to examine the direct and indirect relationships between the levels of parentification, emotional schemas, and psychological symptoms among clinical psychology graduate students.The samples of the study consists of 118 clinical psychology graduate students (101 female and 17 male) who voluntarily completed a questionnaire package that included the Leahy Emotional Schema Scale (LESS), Parentified Child Scale, and Brief Symptom Inventory.Pearson’s correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and mediation analysis with structural equation modeling were applied in the analysis of the data. The statistically significant positive correlations were observed between parentification levels, maladaptive emotional schemas, and psychological symptoms. Besides, regression analysis revealed that the 42% of the variance was explained by parentification and maldaptive emotional schemas. Furthermore, the results suggest that maladaptive schemas mediates the relationship between parentification levels and psychological symptoms. The results of the current study indicate that being parentified and having dysfunctional attitudes towards emotions can be important topics to address at therapy. Additionally, it is believed that evaluating being parentified and dysfunctional attitudes towards emotions as risk factors would contribute to protective and preventive intervention programs. Finally, it is expected that the results of the research will provide clinical psychology graduate students with both professional and personal awareness.No sponso
Evaluation of the demand for alcoholic beverages and tax policy in Turkey
No full textThe tax burden on alcoholic beverages has been rising remarkably in Turkey. This policy has significantly increased tax revenue in Turkish Lira, but it has not generated more tax revenues in terms of U.S. dollars since 2013. This study estimates price and income elasticities for select alcoholic beverages using demand models and simulates the impact of changing tax policies on demand in Turkey. Results show that the cumulative effect of increasing prices will eventually decrease total tax revenue. Simulations suggest that the government should periodically reassess its tax policy to prevent bootleg drinking which results in deadly incidents and hospitalizations.No sponso
Geographic genetic structure of alectoris chukar in Türkiye: Post-LGM-induced hybridization and human-mediated contaminations
No full textTürkiye is considered an important evolutionary area for Chukar partridge (Alectoris
chukar), since it is both a potential ancestral area and a diversification center for the species. Using
2 mitochondrial (Cty-b and D-loop) and 13 polymorphic microsatellite markers, we investigated the
geographic genetic structure of A. chukar populations to determine how past climatic fluctuations
and human activities have shaped the gene pool of this species in Türkiye. Our results indicate,
firstly, that only A. chukar of the genus Alectoris is present in Türkiye (Anatolia and Thrace), with no
natural or artificial gene flow from congenerics. Secondly, the geographic genetic structure of the
species in Türkiye has been shaped by topographic heterogeneity, Pleistocene climatic fluctuations,
and artificial transport by humans. Third, there appears to be three genetic clusters: Thracian,
Eastern, and Western. Fourth, the post-LGM demographic expansion of the Eastern and Western
populations has formed a hybrid zone in Central Anatolia (~8 kyBP). Fifth, the rate of China clade-B
contamination in Türkiye is about 8% in mtDNA and about 12% in nuDNA, with the Southeastern
Anatolian population having the highest contamination. Sixth, the Thracian population was the
most genetically distinct, with the lowest genetic diversity and highest level of inbreeding and no
China clad-B contamination. These results can contribute to the conservation regarding A. chukar
populations, especially the Thracian population.No sponso
The effect of pilates training on physical performance and social skills in children with autism: a randomized controlled trial
No full textAmaç: Aerobik eğitim, çocukların fiziksel, bilişsel ve davranışsal işlevleri üzerindeki önemli faydaları nedeniyle otizmli
çocuklar için önerilmektedir. Buna rağmen, otizmli çocuklarda pilates eğitiminin etkilerine ilişkin herhangi bir kanıt
bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, otizmli çocuklarda pilates eğitiminin kas kuvveti, denge performansı, kaba motor beceriler
ve sosyal beceriler üzerindeki etkilerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 22 otizmli çocuk dahil edildi. Sonuç ölçütleri olarak maksimal izometrik kas kuvveti, denge
performansı, kaba motor beceriler ve sosyal beceriler değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Her iki eğitim grubunda da denge performansı ve kaba motor becerileri skorlarında iyileşme gözlenirken, sosyal
beceri skorunda iyileşme gözlenmedi (p < 0,05). Kas gücünde sadece aerobik eğitim grubunda anlamlı bir iyileşme görüldü (p
< 0,05). Gruplar arası karşılaştırmalarda, tüm sonuç ölçümlerinin hem aerobik eğitim hem de pilates eğitim grupları için
istatistiksel olarak benzer olduğunu gösterdi (p > 0,05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, aerobik eğitim ve pilates eğitiminin her ikisinin de otizmli çocuklarda denge performansının ve kaba motor
becerilerin geliştirilmesinde etkili olduğunu ve aerobik eğitimde kas gücünde daha fazla iyileşme olduğunu göstermektedir.
Pilates eğitimi, otizmli çocuklarda denge performansını ve motor becerileri arttırdığı için alternatif bir eğitim olarak
düşünülebilir.Objective: Aerobic training has been recommended for children with autism due to its important benefits on physical, cognitive and behavioral functions of children. Nevertheless, there is no evidence regarding the effects of pilates training in children with autism. The present study was aimed to determine the effects of pilates training by comparing the effects of AT on muscle strength, balance performance, gross motor skills and social skills in children with autism. Method: A total of 22 children with autism were included in the study. As outcome measures, maximal isometric muscle strength, balance performance, gross motor skills and social skills were evaluated. Results: Improvements were observed in both training groups in balance performance and gross motor skills scores, but no improvement in social skills score (p 0.05). Conclusion: The present study shows that aerobic training and pilates training are both effective in the improvement of balance performance and gross motor skills in children with autism, with more improvement in muscle strength in aerobic training. Pilates education can be considered as an alternative education as it increases balance performance and motor skills in children with autism.No sponso
Monitoring of thiamethoxam resistance in Turkish house fly strains, musca domestica (diptera: muscidae)
No full textBackground: The house fly, Musca domestica, is vector for pathogens and parasites and causes economic damage to
livestock by reducing forage conversion efficiency, negatively impacting weight gain and milk production. It has shown
resistance to multiple insecticide classes. The aim of this research was to determine the susceptibility levels of seventeen field M. domestica strains to thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid insecticide, in Türkiye.
Methods: Insecticide susceptibility of the house flies to thiamethoxam was determined using the WHO glass jar method. A probit analysis program was used to determine LD50 values, and then the resistance ratios were compared with
insecticide-susceptible strain.
Results: All strains were ≥18.5-fold resistant to thiamethoxam. The data showed that 10 out of 17 strains had either
high or very high resistance levels. Our findings revealed that house flies from solid waste landfills in Samsun, Ankara,
and Kocaeli exhibited higher resistance ratios compared to those found in animal shelters. Conversely, in Gaziantep,
Antalya, İzmir and Erzurum, the exact opposite trend was observed. Regarding the LD50 values among solid waste storage areas, the lowest rate was obtained from Gaziantep (0.72 gr ai/m2), and the highest rate was obtained from Ankara (9.35 gr ai/m2). Furthermore, regarding the LD50 values among animal shelters, the lowest was obtained from Samsun (0.37 gr ai/m2), and the highest was obtained from Denizli (21800 gr ai/m2).
Conclusion: The use of integrated control systems is recommended for controlling house fly populations, including
insecticide class rotations for preventing, or at least, delaying the onset of resistance.No sponso
Estimation of alighting counts for public transportation vehicle occupancy levels using reverse direction boarding
No full textIn order to improve the performance of a public transport system, it is important to know alighting counts as well as boarding counts at bus stops. While boarding is almost always available through a fare collection system, public transport systems usually do not count alighting passengers. This is either due to the overhead that may be required for passengers at exit or the installation of relatively expensive Automatic Passenger Counters (APC) counters at each vehicle. Therefore, such expensive deployments are mostly not encountered in public-transport systems. In our research, for round trip lines that are balanced in daily passenger counts on both forward and backward routes, the alighting counts of a target route are inferred using only the daily boarding data. Vehicle occupancy levels are determined on a trip basis owing to the characteristic boarding pattern of each line. The validity of the proposed method was determined and verified using video recordings of arbitrarily selected trips. Consequently, it may be possible to modify scheduling algorithms to improve vehicle fleet utilization and increase passenger comfort in public transportation.No sponso
