Lectin-based histochemical analysis of sugar residues in the gastrointestinal tract of New Zealand white rabbit
No full textThe gastrointestinal system of mammals exhibits interspecific variability both physically and functionally. The
diversity in the gastrointestinal system reflects unique and functional traits among vertebrate animals. Lectin histochemistry is a method that uses lectins to identify and attach to glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides, glycoproteins,
and glycolipids. This particular binding enables the identification of complex structures by determining terminal sugars,
hence elucidating physiological or pathological alterations in cells, intercellular relationships, and intracellular transport
mechanisms. The present study aimed to identify and illustrate the distribution and density of glycans throughout the
gastrointestinal system of the New Zealand White rabbit, spanning from the stomach to the rectum, utilizing lectin histochemistry. Paraffin sections of Bouin-fixed rat tissues were taken 5-μm thick and were examined for the binding of lectins specific to GalNAc (HPA), Gal (PNA), GlcNAc (WGA), and mannose and/or glucose (Con A) using the lectin histochemical method. The lectin binding patterns in the stomach both the small and large intestines exhibited alterations,
signifying a diverse composition of carbohydrates. The data indicate that mucin glycosylation differs across various
anatomical locations and likely represents a responsive mechanism tailored to local physiological requirements.
Keywords: Gastrointestinal system, intestine, lectin histochemistry, rabbit, stomach.Memelilerin gastrointestinal sistemi hem fiziksel hem de işlevsel olarak türler arası değişkenlik gösterir. Gastrointestinal sistemdeki çeşitlilik, omurgalı hayvanlar arasında benzersiz mimari ve işlevsel özellikleri yansıtır. Lektin histokimyası, lektinleri kullanarak polisakkaritler, glikoproteinler ve glikolipidlerdeki glikozidik bağlantıları tanımlayan ve
bunlara bağlanan bir yöntemdir. Bu özel bağlanma, terminal şekerleri belirleyerek karmaşık yapıların tanımlanmasını
sağlar ve böylece hücrelerdeki fizyolojik veya patolojik değişiklikleri, hücreler arası ilişkileri ve hücre içi taşıma mekanizmalarını açıklar. Mevcut çalışma, lektin histokimyasını kullanarak Yeni Zelanda Beyaz tavşanının mideden rektuma
kadar uzanan gastrointestinal sistemi boyunca glikanların dağılımını ve yoğunluğunu tanımlamayı ve göstermeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Bouin fiksasyonlu sıçan dokularının parafin kesitleri 5 μm kalınlığında alındı ve lektin histokimyasal
yöntemi kullanılarak GalNAc (HPA), Gal (PNA), GlcNAc (WGA) ve mannoz ve/veya glikoza (Con A) özgü lektinlerin
bağlanması açısından incelendi. Midedeki ve hem ince hem de kalın bağırsaklardaki lektin bağlanma desenleri, karbonhidratların çeşitli bir bileşimini gösteren değişiklikler gösterdi. Veriler, musin glikozilasyonunun çeşitli anatomik konumlarda farklılık gösterdiğini ve muhtemelen yerel fizyolojik gereksinimlere göre uyarlanmış bir yanıt mekanizmasını
temsil ettiğini göstermektedir.No sponso

The limits of EU liberal norm diffusion: a quest for ‘better democracy’?
No full textThis study explores the extent to which the EU has diffused liberal
and democratic norms across its new members and its periphery in
a context of the EU’s liberal norm diffusion on the one hand, and
the populist backlash towards liberalism on the other. We measure
these norms via the International Social Survey Program Citizenship
modules and levels of democracy via the Varieties of Democracy
Project’s liberal democracy index. We posit that while liberalism has
become near synonymous with democracy, and despite findings
that affirm the EU’s influence on liberal norm diffusion, the EU’s lack
of consideration of alternative republican and communitarian
norms has slowed down the process of democratic consolidation.
These findings have policy implications especially for Hungary and
Poland, where democratic erosion is evident, and for EU candidate
states, Türkiye and Georgia, where, in the accession process, the
EU’s liberal bias prevails over alternative democratic norms.No sponso
Burdur / Bucak / Karaaliler Köyü Sarıkeçili Yörükleri yazlık yerleşiminde geleneksel çadır mimarisi
No full textYörükler, Türklerin tarih içindeki yerleşik ve göçer olarak ikili yaşam biçimlerinden konar-göçer hayvancılıkla geçimini sağlayan kesimidir. Anadolu’nun güney, batı ve kuzeybatısındaki dağlık arazide uzun yıllar, yaylak ve kışlak arasında göçerek hayvancılık yapmaktadırlar. Coğrafi koşulların ve yaşam tarzının barınakları biçimlendirmesinin sonucu olarak; barınma birimi olan kıl çadırlar seyrek dokulu olarak kurulmakta, yapısal olarak ise sökülüp takılabilir, kolay taşınabilir, çok fonksiyonlu ve az malzeme ile geniş alan örtebilir niteliktedir. Sarıkeçili Yörük kültürünün günümüze ulaşan az sayıdaki örneğiyle, yaşam tarzı ve özgün barınma mekanları çalışmanın konusudur. Bu yerleşim ve barınma mekanlarının belgelenmesi, korunması önem arz etmektedir. Somut kültürel değerleri yanında somut olmayan zaman üstü değerleri de bünyesinde barındıran bu yaşam biçiminin ortaya çıkardığı mekanların insanlığın ortak kültürel mirası olarak tescillenmesi, mümkünse yaşatılarak mümkün olmaz ise de kayıt altına alınarak geleceğe aktarılması gerekmektedir.No sponso
Narsistik kişilik bozukluğuna bağlı davranışların ceza hukuku bağlamında değerlendirilmesi.
No full textBu çalışmada narsistik kişilik bozukluğunun ceza hukuku bakımından doğurduğu sonuçlar incelenmiştir. İlk başta, narsistik kişilik bozukluğunun tanımı gereğince bu kişilerde
sıkça gözlemlenen davranış örüntülerinden yalnızca ikisi, ostrasizm ve manipülasyon, ceza
hukuku bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Manipülasyonun, mağdurun özgür iradesini
sakatlayan vis compulsiva yahut vis absoluta niteliği tartışılmıştır. Bu tartışma gereğince Türk
Ceza Kanunu (TCK) m. 37 ve TCK m. 38 hükümleri kapsamında dolaylı faillik ile
azmettirme hükümlerinin hangisinin uygulanması gerektiği değerlendirilmiştir. Bu
bağlamda, hem mağdur ile neticeyi gerçekleştirenin aynı olduğu suçlar (örneğin
intihara yönlendirme) hem de farklı olduğu durumlar (örneğin kasten yaralama) açısından
ayrıntılı değerlendirmelere yer verilmiştir. Ostrasizm davranışının ise, özellikle evlilik
ilişkisi bağlamında TMK m. 185/3 hükmünden doğan sadakat yükümlülüğü çerçevesinde ihmali
bir davranış olarak kasten yaralama suçuna vücut verip vermeyeceği incelenmiştir. Ayrıca narsistik kişilik bozukluğunun kusurluluğa etkisi de incelenmiş; bu bozukluğun haksızlık yanılgısı,
akıl hastalığı ve geçici nedenler çerçevesinde ve bazı hâllerde kusurluluğu azaltan neden olarak
kabul edilip edilemeyeceği ileri tartışılmıştır. Nihayet çalışmamızda, narsistik kişilik
bozukluğu ile ceza hukuku arasındaki ilişkiye disiplinlerarası bir bakış sunmak amaçlanmıştır.This article examines the consequences
of narcissistic personality disorder in terms of
criminal law. At the outset, based on the
definition of narcissistic personality disorder,
only two behavioral patterns frequently
observed in such individuals -ostracism and
manipulation- are addressed within the
framework of criminal law. The question of
whether manipulation constitutes vis compulsiva
or vis absoluta, both of which impair the victim’s
free will, is discussed. In light of this discussion,
an evaluation is made as to whether the
provisions on indirect perpetration (Article 37 of
the TCC) or incitement (Article 38 of the TCC)
should apply. Within this framework, detailed
assessments are provided with respect to both
offenses where the victim and the person
carrying out the result are the same (e.g.,
incitement to suicide) and those where they
differ (e.g., intentional injury). As for ostracism,
the study examines whether such conduct -
particularly in the context of marital relations
and within the scope of the duty of loyalty
arising from Article 185/3 of the Turkish Civil
Code- may amount to the offense of intentional
injury as an omission. Moreover, the impact of
narcissistic personality disorder on culpability is
analyzed; in this respect, it is debated whether
this disorder may, under certain circumstances,
be regarded within the framework of mistake of
law, mental illness, or temporary causes, and
whether it could be accepted as a factor reducing
culpability. Ultimately, the study aims to present
an interdisciplinary perspective on the
relationship between narcissistic personality
disorder and criminal lawNo sponso

the total). The unit exergy cost of the system products is calculated as 1.5/m3 and an electricity price of 33.59/GJ.No sponso
Dosimetric comparison of field-in-field and intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques in bilateral breast cancer radiotherapy
No full textAim: This study aims to compare the dosimetric parameters, treatment efficiency, and organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing between field-in-field (FinF) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques in the treatment of bilateral breast cancer.
Method: Radiotherapy treatment plans were developed for 10 patients diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer using both FinF and IMRT techniques. Dosimetric parameters, including Dmax, V47.5, V46, D2, D50, and D98 for target volumes, were evaluated. Conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) were also assessed. Additionally, OAR doses were compared to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. All plans were evaluated in accordance with international standards and quality control protocols.
Results: Both techniques achieved clinically acceptable dose distributions. FinF plans demonstrated lower OAR doses and were more advantageous in terms of treatment time, number of fields, and segment count. Conversely, IMRT plans provided superior dose homogeneity and target coverage. Although IMRT required longer planning and treatment times due to higher segment numbers, OAR doses remained within acceptable limits and were consistent with the literature.
Conclusion: The FinF technique remains a viable and efficient option in bilateral breast cancer radiotherapy, particularly in reducing OAR doses and treatment duration. However, IMRT offers better conformity and dose homogeneity, making it preferable when precise dose distribution is prioritized. Selection of the appropriate technique should be patient-specific, balancing clinical priorities and resource availability.Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilateral meme kanseri tedavisinde kullanılan alan içinde alan (FinF) ve
yoğunluk ayarlı radyoterapi (YART/IMRT) tekniklerinin dozimetrik parametreler, tedavi etkinliği ve risk
altındaki organların (RAO) korunması açısından karşılaştırılmasıdır.No sponso
Exploring the link between clinical, cognitive status, and telerehabilitation experiences in multiple sclerosis: A cross-sectional study
No full textPurpose
Evaluating the opinions of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) about telerehabilitation services and investigating them in detail about their clinical and cognitive status is important for determining and discussing the expectations related to telerehabilitation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the opinions of patients with MS about telerehabilitation services and to correlate these opinions with the clinical and cognitive status of the individuals in question.
Methods
A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 101 individuals with MS. All participants were evaluated with the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29), Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq), Telemedicine Patient Questionnaire (TPQ), Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire (TSUQ), Telerehabilitation Beliefs Questionnaire (TBF).
Results
TPQ was weakly correlated with MSIS-29 Physical (r = -0.249, p < 0.05), MSIS-29 Psychological (r = -0.339, p < 0.001) and CRIq-Education (r = 0.257, p < 0.001). TSUQ was only weakly correlated with CRIq-Education (r = 0.205, p < 0.05). TBF was weakly correlated with MSIS-29 Psychological (r = -0.209, p < 0.05), CRIq-Education (r = 0.344, p < 0.001), CRIq-Work (r = 0.242, p < 0.05) and CRIq-Total (r = 0.260, p < 0.001). There was a weak positive correlation between TBF and the participant's age (r = 0.219, p < 0.05).
Conclusion
The views of individuals with MS on telerehabilitation were mostly related to psychological and cognitive (education-related) parameters. Age, educational status, and psychological level should be considered during telerehabilitation services in people with MS.No sponso
Techno-economic optimization of an integrated ammonia–methane synthesis system powered by LNG-assisted biogas oxy-fuel cycle and vanadium chloride hydrogen production
No full textThis study presents a novel multi-generation biogas-fueled power system integrating oxy-fuel combustion and thermochemical hydrogen production for simultaneous power generation, synthetic fuel production, and carbon management. The system combusts biogas with pure oxygen, produced via cryogenic air separation using LNG cold energy, in three sequential combustion chambers and turbines. High-temperature exhaust gases are directed to a vanadium chloride (VCl) thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for additional power recovery. At the same time, radiative heat from the combustion chambers is converted to electricity through thermophotovoltaic (TPV) units. Separated hydrogen is divided between methanation and ammonia synthesis units, using CO2 from the final exhaust and nitrogen from air separation. Thermodynamic, techno-economic, and environmental analyses were conducted, followed by a multi-objective optimization using the Gray Wolf Optimizer. One scenario targeted maximum net power and exergetic efficiency with minimized product cost, another emphasized environmental impact reduction, and the third balanced subsystem exergetic efficiency with product cost. In the first case, the system achieved a net power output of 12,023.05 kW, an exergetic efficiency of 47.60 %, and a product cost of 19.21 /kWh with a product cost of 19.50 /GJ, and an environmental index of 0.4030 /kg and 0.6 $/kg shortened the payback period from 5.71 to 4.5 years. These results demonstrate the system's high efficiency, economic resilience, and renewable energy potential.No sponso
