“The biggest disappointment”: women’s expectations from sex are ignored, from the perspective of infertile women
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes,
behaviours and experiences of infertile women towards sexuality.
Methods: This study was carried out in the infertility outpatient
clinic of a state hospital in Istanbul of Turkey. Fifteen infertile
women who had been receiving primary infertility treatment for
at least two years and were actively continuing infertility treatment
were included in the study. Data were collected by means of an
detailed information form and a semi-structured interview. Content
analysis was applied to the data obtained from semi-structured
interviews. Consistency percentage calculation was made between
the codes and themes determined by 4 researchers who are experts
in their fields.
Results: Results based on the interviews with the participants, 2
main themes, 6 sub-themes and 27 codes related to sub-themes
were determined as ‘Factors Affecting Sexual Life’ and ‘Overview of
Sexual Health and Sexuality’. ‘Disappointment’ was determined as
the most commonly defined code in the determined main theme
and sub-themes.
Conclusion: It was determined that the majority of infertile women
base their sexual lives on reproductive functions, experience serious
sexual health problems, feel worthless, and describe their sexual life
as a great disappointment.No sponso

Practical framework for the assessment of everyday aesthetics
International Conference on Engineering and Applied Natural Sciences- ICEANS (3. 2023: Konya, Turkey)With the long period that students spend on the university campus, it becomes a familiar part of their daily routine. Many parts of the campus transform into mere functional spaces accommodating students’ activities. It is a challenge to identify and investigate a suitable framework for studying the
aesthetical value of these familiar parts. It is also questioned whether there is a relationship between the students’ specialization and their appreciation of this aesthetical value. Using the framework of the theory of Everyday Aesthetics (EA), this research investigated the students’ appreciation of EA in the Engineering Campus of the University of Bahrain. The study revealed that everyday outdoor spaces proved more significant in this regard than everyday buildings. The study also found differences between architecture
and engineering students in their appreciation of EA. This study is the first to develop a theoretical framework for the use of EA to investigate the aesthetics of familiar spaces at university campuses and opens the door for further future research.No sponso
The effect of body awareness on trunk control, affected upper extremity function, balance, fear of falling, functional level, and level of independence in patients with stroke
Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the effects of body awareness on trunk control, affected upper extremity function, balance, fear of falling, functional level, and level of independence in patients with stroke.
Methods: 35 individuals between the ages of 21 and 78 who were diagnosed with stroke were included in the study. The body awareness of the individuals participating in the study was determined with the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), trunk control with Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), the affected upper extremity functions with Motor Activity Log-28 (MAL,-28), and FuglMeyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMUEA), balance with Berg Balance Scale (BBS), fear of falling with Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale (TFES), functional level with Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index (BI) and level of independence with Functional Independence Measures (FIM).
Results: For patients participating in the study, 26% were female, 74% were male and 43% showed left, 57% showed right hemisphere involvement. In simple linear regression analysis, BAQ measurement had a statistically significant effect on TIS (F = 25.439 p = 0.001), MAL-28 (F = 7.852 p = 0.008), FMUEA (F = 12.155 p = 0.001), BBS (F = 13.506 p = 0.001), TFES (F = 13.119 p = 0.001), BI (F = 19.977 p = 0.001) and FIM (F = 22.014 p = 0.001) in patients with stroke.
Conclusions: In conclusion, body awareness was found to be one of the factors affecting trunk control, affected upper extremity function, balance, fear of falling, functional level, and level of independence in patients with stroke. It was thought that there was a need for assessment of body awareness and include bodyawareness in rehabilitation programs in patients with stroke.No sponso
Simplified procedure in criminal procedure
7188 sayılı Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu ve Bazı Kanunlarda Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanunun 24. ve 25. maddeleri ile 5271 sayılı Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu'nun mülga 251. maddesi yeniden düzenlenerek basit yargılama usulü alternatif çözüm yöntemi olarak hukuk sistemimize dahil edilmiştir. 01.01.2020 tarihi itibariyle ceza muhakemesinde uygulanmaya başlanan basit yargılama usulü, klasik ceza muhakemesine alternatif bir çözüm yöntemi olarak öngörülmüştür. Basit yargılama usulü, belirli şartlar altında, adli para cezasını ve/veya üst sınırı iki yıl veya daha az süreli hapis cezasını gerektiren suçlarda uygulama alanı bulan ve uygulanması mahkeme hakiminin takdirine bağlı olan özel bir muhakeme türüdür. Basit yargılama usulünün uygulanması ve sanık hakkında mahkûmiyet kararı verilmesi halinde, hükmolunan sonuç cezadan dörtte bir oranında indirim uygulanmaktadır. Çalışmamızda basit yargılama usulünün düzenlenme amacı, uygulanma koşulları ve benzer kurumlar ile ilişkileri ele alınmıştır. Karşılaştırmalı hukuk açısından değerlendirme yapılarak, basit yargılama usulü adil yargılanma hakkı kapsamında irdelenmiştir.Via articles 24 and 25 of the Law No. 7188 on the Amendment of the Criminal Procedure Code and Some Codes, the abrogated article 251 of the Criminal Procedure Law No. 5271 was re-arranged, and the simplified procedure was included in our legal system as an alternative dispute resolution method. The simple trial procedure, which started to be implemented in criminal proceedings as of 01.01.2020, is projected as an alternative dispute resolution method to classical criminal procedure. The simplified procedure is a special type of procedural tool that, under certain conditions, finds application in crimes that require a judicial fine and/or imprisonment up to two years and its application is at the discretion of the court judge. In cases where the simple trial procedure is applied and the defendant is sentenced, a reduction of one quarter is applied from the final sentence imposed on the defendant. In our study, the purpose of regulation of the simplified procedure, the conditions of its implementation and its relations with similar institutions are discussed. By making an evaluation in terms of comparative law, the simple trial procedure was examined within the scope of the right to a fair trial.No sponso
The effect of obsessive compulsive disorder and perceived parental attitudes in childhood on mentalization capacity
Zihinselleştirme kavramı, bireyin etkileşimde bulunduğu insanların ve kendisinin davranışlarını detaylı şekilde analiz edip bunların altında yatan arzu, duygu, ihtiyaç ve inanç gibi anlamsal temellere göre düşünme yetisidir. Araştırmada OKB hastalarının algıladığı ebeveyn tutumları, bireyin çocukluk döneminde ebeveynlerinden algıladığı duygusal sıcaklık, reddedicilik ve aşırı kontrolcülük eğilimleri olmak üzere üç alt boyutta incelenmiştir.
Bu araştırmada, OKB hastalarındaki obsesyon ve kompulsiyon semptom şiddeti ile çocukluk döneminde algılanan ebeveynlik tutumlarının zihinselleştirme becerisine etkisinin incelenmesi hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmanın yöntem aşaması, Antalya'da bulunan Terapi Tıp Merkezi içerisinde yürütülmüştür. Kurum bünyesinde görev yapmakta olan psikiyatri hekimleri tarafından OKB tanısı koyulan 40 bireyle zihinselleştirme ölçeği (MentS), Yale-Brown obsesyon-kompulsiyon ölçeği (YBOKÖ) ve kısaltılmış algılanan ebeveyn tutumları ölçeği (KAET-Ç) uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizi SPSS 20 programı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, bireylerde çocukluk döneminde ebeveynlerden algılanan reddedici tutum ile obsesyon ve kompulsiyon semptom düzeylerinin bireylerin kendilik temelli zihinselleştirme kapasitelerini anlamlı düzeyde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte araştırma bulguları, çocukluk döneminde ebeveynlerden algılanan aşırı koruyucu ve reddedici ebeveyn tutum eğilimleri ile bireylerin yetişkinlik dönemlerindeki obsesyon ve kompulsiyon semptom şiddetlerini arasında anlamlı düzeyde pozitif ilişki var olduğunu da göstermektedir.
Araştırmanın sonuçları, bireylerin kendilik temelli zihinselleştirme becerileri ile annelerinden algıladıkları duygusal sıcaklık düzeyi arasında pozitif, reddedicilik düzeyi arasında negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki tespit edildiğini göstermektedir. Bunun dışında kalan ötekiler temelli zihinselleştirme ve zihinselleştirmeye güdülenme alt ölçekleri ile çocukluk döneminde algılanan ebeveyn tutumları ve OKB semptom şiddetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.The concept of mentalization, refers to the ability of an individual to analyze in detail the behaviors of others and oneself in interaction, based on underlying semantic foundations such as desires, emotions, needs, and beliefs. In this research, parental attitudes that are perceived by OCD patients were examined in three sub-dimensions: emotional warmth, rejection, and overcontrol perceived by individuals from their parents during childhood. The aim of the research is to examine the effect of severity of obsessive and compulsive symptoms and perceived parental attitudes ont he capacity of mentalization. This study was conducted within the Therapy Medical Center in Antalya. Mentalization Scale (MentS), Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (YBOCS), and Abbreviated Measure of Perceived Parental Attitudes Scale (EMBU-S) were administered to 40 individuals diagnosed with OCD by psychiatrists working at the center. The statistical analysis of the collected data was performed using the SPSS 20 program. The research findings suggest that the perceived rejection from parents during childhood significantly affects the levels of obsession and compulsion symptoms and the individuals' capacity for self-based mentalization. Moreover, the research findings also indicate a significant positive relationship between the tendencies of overprotective and rejecting parental attitudes perceived during childhood and the severity of obsession and compulsion symptoms in adulthood. The results of the study demonstrate that there is a positive relationship between individuals' self-based mentalization skills and the level of emotional warmth perceived from their mothers, and a negative relationship with the level of rejection perceived. However, no significant relationship was found between other-oriented mentalization, motivation for mentalization, and the severity of OCD symptom severity and perceived parental attitude.No sponso
Investigation of the incidence ofaccessory foramen infraorbitale in adult Turkish population in dry skulls
The foramen infraorbitale is the opening in the face of the canalis infraorbitalis, which carries the infraorbital artery, vein and nerve. It is located below the infraorbital margin in the maxilla and is found bilaterally in the facial skeleton. Infraorbital nerve, after leaving the infraorbital foramen, gives its branches by travelling on the anterior surface of the maxilla. During embryological development, the development of an accessory foramen
infraorbitale can be observed especially in the superior medial aspect of the foramen infraorbitale. Knowledge of this variation will increase the effectiveness of anaesthesia during facial applications.The main objective of our study is to investigate the presence of accessory foramen infraorbitale and to contribute to the literature by paying attention to the localisation of accessory foramen infraorbitale. Knowledge of these localisation changes will be useful to increase the effectiveness of local anaesthesia in treatment areas such as maxillofacial surgery,
plastic surgery, dentistry and otolaryngology. In the laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine, 111 dry skulls were examined and 144 skull halves were measured. The study
was repeated three times with two independent observers. The frequency of accessory foramen infraorbitale in 144 skull halves was 34%; 44.4% of these accessory foramen infraorbitale were found to be on the left and
23.6% on the right. 13.9% were observed bilaterally. The sex of the skulls observed in our study is not known. Future radiological studies in which gender is determined and categorised according to age groups will contribute to the incidence studies in this field. The findings of our study showed that the incidence of accessory foramen infraorbitale is high in the Turkish population. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this variation
during the treatment of patients in anaesthesia applications in the maxillofacial area.No sponso
Examining the relationship between eating disorders, anxiety-stress, and self-compassion during pregnancy
Amaç: Bu çalışma, gebelikte yeme bozukluğu, anksiyete-stres ve öz şefkat arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı desende yürütülen çalışmaya, Antalya’da özel bir kadın doğum hastanesinin kadın doğum polikiliniğine başvurup, çalışmaya gönüllü olmayı kabul eden 18-40 haftalık 162 gebe dâhil edilmiştir. Gönüllü gebelere, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Yeme Bozukluğu İnceleme Ölçeği (YBİÖ)”,
“Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği (DASS 21)” ve “Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formu (ÖŞÖ-K)” ölçekleri yüz yüze görüşme ile doldurulmuştur.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların %91’ini çalışan gebeler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışan gebelerin çoğunluğu lise ve üstü eğitim düzeyine sahiptir (%91,35). Katılımcıların ortalama gebelik haftası 29’dur. Gebelikte yeme
bozukluğu ile anksiyete-stres arasında orta şiddetli pozitif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmakla birlikte p=0.001 ile bu ilişki istatistiki olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gebelik sayısı ile yeme bozukluğu arasında orta şiddetli pozitif yönlü bir ilişki görünmekte olup bu ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı
belirlenmiştir. (p>0.05) Gebelikte yeme bozukluğu özşefkat (r=0.267) ile aralarında zayıf pozitif yönlü bir ilişki var olup bu ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p=0.016).
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak yeme bozukluğu olan gebelerin aksiyete-stres ve özşefkat ölçek puanlarının yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda gebelere verilecek bakımda multidisipliner bakış açısı ile yaklaşılmalıdır.Aim: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between eating disorders, anxiety-stress, and self-compassion during pregnancy.
Method: The study, which was conducted with a descriptive design, included 162 pregnant women aged 18-40 weeks who applied to the gynecology outpatient clinic of a private gynecology hospital in
Antalya and agreed to volunteer for the study. "Personal Information Form", "Eating Disorder Examination Scale (EDES)", "Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21)" and "Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (SSS-K)" scales were filled in by the pregnant volunteers through face-to-face interviews.
Conclusion: 91% of the participants are working pregnant women. The majority of working pregnant women have an education level of high school or above (91.35%). The average gestational age of the participants was 29 weeks. Although there is a moderately positive relationship between eating disorders and anxiety-stress during pregnancy, this relationship was found to be statistically significant with p =0.001. There is a moderately positive relationship between the number of pregnancies and eating disorders, but this relationship was not statistically significant. (p>0.05) There is a weak positive relationship between eating disorders during pregnancy and self-compassion (r=0.267), and this relationship was found to be statistically significant (p=0.016).
Result: As a result, it was determined that the anxiety-stress and self-compassion scale scores of pregnant women with eating disorders were high. In this context, the care to be given to pregnant women
should be approached from a multidisciplinary perspective.No sponso
Pythagorean fuzzy based AHP-VIKOR integration to assess rail transportation systems in Turkey
Rail transit systems, one of the important public
transportation (PT) systems, are widespread in large cities
to satisfy passengers or commuters for their daily trips.
However, rail transportation (RT) investments are costly,
and the budgets are minimal. Thus assessing RT systems in
big cities play a crucial role in deciding on the best RT
investment. In this study, for the first time, a two-stage
fuzzy set is used among the multi-criteria decision-making
(MCDM) studies in the area of transportation. The proposed method is a unique technique integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Vise Kriterijumska
Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) techniques
with an extension of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. In this manner, datasets from the observations of three rail lines in
Antalya, one of the largest cities in Turkey, are applied to
the proposed method. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process
(FAHP), a commonly used MCDM method, is used to
weighting four main criteria and thirteen sub-factors. AHP
is strengthened by interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy
numbers (IVPFNs). The Fuzzy VIKOR (FVIKOR)
approach is then applied for the prioritization of three rail
line alternatives. Results are achieved by analyzing not
only real RT service observations, also actual RT expenditures or costs. Consequently, the uncertainty in results is
thus minimized. Outcomes of the case study reveal the most serviceable RT line in the city evaluating the main
criteria, namely economy, comfort, environment, and
safety. Therefore, the proposed approach methodologically
contributes to adopting a new insight into the integration of
MCDM methods with fuzzy set.No sponso
