The relationship between COVID-19 fear, health perceptions, routine health checks, and safety behaviors in participants with chronic illnesses
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted individuals with chronic illnesses, leading to increased fear of contracting the virus, delays in routine health follow-ups, and notable behavioral changes. This study aimed to determine the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and health perceptions, routine health checks, and safety behaviors among participants with chronic illnesses during the pandemic. An online survey was conducted between February and July 2021 to collect data from 288 patients in Istanbul who had been diagnosed with chronic illnesses persisting for six months or longer. Data were collected using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), the Perception of Health Scale (PHS), and a descriptive information form. Of the participants, 38.2% had diabetes mellitus, with an average diagnosis duration of 44.5 +/- 15.64 months. Due to the fear of contracting the virus, 30.2% reported avoiding regular health follow-ups during the pandemic. The participants were found to have a high level of adherence to safety behaviors. Fear of COVID-19 negatively predicted the certainty subdimension of health perception, while the fear of COVID-19 positively predicted the importance of health subdimension. Fear of COVID-19 was linked to increased safety behaviors but had a negative impact on routine health follow-ups and health perceptions in participants with chronic illnesses. Thus, during pandemics, it is essential to plan interventions that improve awareness and promote self-management in individuals with chronic illnesses
Some Idioms Established with Organ Names in Egyptian Arabic and Their Equivalents in Turkish
No full textDeyimler, bir dilin söz varlığını ve kavram zenginliğini yansıtan önemli yapı taşlarıdır. Toplumların deneyimlerinden ve kültürel birikimlerinden beslenen bu ifadeler, her dilde olduğu gibi Arapça ve Türkçede de geniş bir kullanım alanına sahiptir. Ancak, Arapça-Türkçe deyimler üzerine yapılan çalışmaların genellikle klasik Arapçaya odaklandığı ve modern Arap lehçeleriyle ilgili araştırmaların sınırlı kaldığı gözlemlenmektedir. Bu çalışma, Mısır Arapçasında organ adları içeren deyimlerin Türkçedeki karşılıklarını incelemeyi ve bu bağlamda iki dilin kültürel ve dilsel etkileşimini ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Deyimler çerçevesinde uzun zaman aralarında siyasî malî ve kültürel alışveriş yaşamış iki milletin düşünme tarzı ve dil mantıkları anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Aziz'in “El-Kinayetu'l-?Ammiyye El-Massriye” adlı çalışmasında yer alan organ adları bulunan 50 deyim incelenmiş ve alfabetik sırayla yazılmış, Türkçe karşılıkları tespit edilerek organ adı içermesi ve yapılarının fiil ya da isimle kalıplaşması açısından incelenmiştir. Mısır Arapçası deyimler orijinal biçimleriyle aktarılmış, sözlük anlamları verilmiş ve Türkçe karşılıkları belirlenmiştir. Türkçe karşılıkların tespitinde, başlıca Ömer Asım Aksoy'un “Atasözleri ve Deyimler Sözlüğü”, Öztürk'ün “Türkiye Türkçesinde Anlamca Kaynaşmış-Deyimleşmiş Birleşik Fiiller” adlı çalışmaları ve Türk Dil Kurumu'nun çevrim içi kaynakları kullanılmıştır. İfade açısından benzemeyen ancak anlam bakımından birbirini karşılayan 39 adet deyim tespit edilirken, her iki dilde hem anlam hem de ifade bakımından birebir eşdeğer 11 adet deyim saptanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda iki dile ait deyim varlığının zenginliği ve deyimlerde organ adlarının ne kadar önemli bir yere sahip olduğu gösterilmiştir.İdioms are important building blocks that reflect the vocabulary and conceptual richness of a language. These expressions, which are nourished by the experiences and cultural accumulations of societies, have a wide area of use in Arabic and Turkish, as in every language. However, it is observed that studies on Arabic-Turkish idioms generally focus on classical Arabic and research on modern Arabic dialects remains limited. This study aims to examine the Turkish equivalents of idioms containing organ names in Egyptian Arabic and to reveal the cultural and linguistic interaction of the two languages in this context. Within the framework of idioms, it is attempted to understand the way of thinking and the language logic of the two nations that have experienced political, financial and cultural exchange between them for a long time. In this regard, 50 idioms with organ names in Aziz's work titled "El-Kinayetu'l-?Ammiyye El-Massriye" were examined and written in alphabetical order, their Turkish equivalents were determined and examined in terms of containing organ names and their structures being stereotyped with verbs or nouns. Egyptian Arabic idioms were transferred in their original forms, their dictionary meanings were given and their Turkish equivalents were determined. In determining the Turkish equivalents, mainly Ömer Asım Aksoy's “Dictionary of Proverbs and Idioms”, Öztürk's “Compound Verbs That Have Fused in Meaning in Turkish” and the online resources of the Turkish Language Association were used. While 39 idioms that were not similar in terms of expression but matched each other in terms of meaning were identified, 11 idioms that were exactly equivalent in terms of both meaning and expression were identified in both languages. As a result of the study, it has been shown how rich the idioms of the two languages are and how important the organ names are in the idioms
RURAL CITIZENSHIP: DETERMINANTS OF ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP SELF-EFFICACY AMONG TURKISH RURAL RESIDENTS
No full textDespite its rare usage in the literature to date, rural citizenship has the potential to serve as a theoretical framework for understanding social behaviors and movements in rural communities. This study investigates the civic self-efficacy level of 531 adult participants living in rural Turkey. The results demonstrate that civic competence reflects the socioeconomic disadvantages of rural regions, including low-level income, gender, education, and undifferentiated economic activities and occupations. Participants had the lowest level of self-efficacy in political literacy (PL) compared to the other two dimensions: community engagement (CE), and demonstrations, protests, and the pursuit of rights (DPPR). Gender difference is the highest determinant of active citizenship self-efficacy, followed by education, time spent in the village, marital status, and monthly income. Findings suggest that interacting with the city appears to be enhancing rural residents' civic efficacy. These can provide evidence of rural regions exhibiting a unique pattern of citizenship. In the discussion section, we have interpreted the potential implications of the results
New insights into the environmental safety of incorporating Cr(III) into cement matrix: Cr(VI) formation driven by low-intensity fire
No full textCement kiln co-processing has become a popular strategy for dealing with solid waste containing Cr(III) because hazardous Cr(III) can be incorporated into the cement matrix to reduce its leaching risk. However, whether Cr (III) can be transformed and leached from the cement matrix under extreme conditions remains unclear. This study demonstrates that even when Cr(III) is solidified and encapsulated by the cement matrix, it can undergo substantial oxidation into soluble Cr(VI) at temperatures 100-250 degrees C. Approximately 43.8 % of Cr(III) was oxidized into Cr(VI) when the cement matrix was fired at 250 degrees C for 1 h, and CrO3 was identified as the predominant phase of Cr(VI). When the firing time was increased over 10 h, part of CrO3 was reduced into Cr(III), and the combination of CrO3 and Ca(OH)2 occurred accompanied with CaCrO4 formation. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) indicated that Cr(VI) concentrations leached from cement matrix samples fired at 200 and 250 degrees C for 5 h exceeded the regulatory limit. The cumulative leaching amounts of Cr(VI) from the cement matrix samples fired at 200 and 250 degrees C by EA NEN 7375:2004 tank tests were 1381 and 1369 mg/m2, far higher than the limit of 25 mg/m2. Cement matrices after firing process exhibited significant degradation in mechanical properties. The high temperature process in the event of a fire for cement matrix not only poses critical environmental hazards but also severely impacts the structural stability of buildings.National Natural Science Foundation of China [21707011]; Key Technology and Research Project of Changshu City [CS202310]; Analysis and Testing Center of Changzhou UniversityThis work was funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (21707011) and Key Technology and Research Project of Changshu City (CS202310) .

The utilization of the large unstained cell (LUC) parameter in lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue's malignant neoplasms
No full textObjectives: Large unstained cells (LUCs) are a differential count parameter reported by routine hematology analysis, and LUC percentages (LUC%) reflect active lymphocytes and peroxidase-negative cells. We aimed the evaluate the LUC% parameter in routine practice towards malignant neoplasms, stated or presumed to be primary, of lymphoid, haematopoietic, and related tissue. Methods: LUC analysis was performed with Siemens ADVIA® 2120 Hematology System. Data were obtained from Ankara Bilkent City Hospital’s laboratory information system. Results: A statistical difference in the LUC % data in the case of LUC % <4.5 and LUC % ?4.5 among preliminary diagnoses was observed (P<0.001). According to the Kruskal-Wallis test, a statistical difference was observed between preliminary diagnosis and LUC % values (P<0.001). The One-way ANOVA test with Bonferroni correction was performed for post hoc multiple comparisons of the preliminary diagnosis among LUC%. LUC% was higher in Hodgkin Lymphoma patients than Myeloid leukaemia patients (P=0.002). LUC % was higher in the Lymphoid leukaemia patients than in the patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (P<0.001), Other and unspecified types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (P<0.001), Multiple myeloma and malignant plasma cell neoplasms (P<0.001). LUC% was higher in patients with leukemia unspecified cell type than Hodgkin lymphoma (P<0.001), Follicular lymphoma (P<0.001), Non-follicular lymphoma (P<0.001), Mature T-Cell and Natural Killer Cell lymphomas (P<0.001), Other and unspecified types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (P<0.001), Malignant immunoproliferative diseases (P<0.001), Multiple myeloma and malignant plasma cell neoplasms (P<0.001), Lymphoid leukaemia (P<0.001), Myeloid leukaemia (P<0.001), Other leukaemias of specified cell type patients (P<0.001). Conclusions: The present study underscores the importance of LUC% in line with ICD-10 and may provide ideas for new research. Prospective studies including patient and control groups may be useful in assessing LUC%
Türkiye’de Konut Piyasası Hareketliliği ve Enflasyon Arasındaki İlişkinin Analizi: Panel Veri Analizi
No full textKonut, insanların en önemli ihtiyaçlarından birini teşkil eden barınma ihtiyacını karşılamakta ve bu yönüyle insan hayatının olmazsa olmaz unsurlarından birini teşkil etmektedir. Bunun yanında konutun kuşkusuz ekonomik bir yönü de bulunmaktadır. Son 10 yıllık dönemin ikinci yarısında konut fiyatlarında önemli yükselişlerin meydana geldiği görülmektedir. Bu yükselişlerde başta faiz oranlarındaki yükselişler, inşaat malzemelerinin fiyatlarındaki artışlar ve gelir düzeyindeki yükselişler şeklinde olmak üzere pek çok faktörün etkisinin bulunduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Uzun soluklu bir süreçte gelir seviyesindeki yükselişlerin de konut talebini artırması ve enflasyonist bir baskı oluşturması beklenebilir. Ancak enflasyonun yüksek olduğu dönemlerde satın alma gücündeki azalışlara bağlı olarak konut talebinin azalma eğilimine girebileceği de dikkatlerden kaçırılmamalıdır. Pek çok dışsal ekonomik faktörden etkilenen konut piyasası ile enflasyon arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koymak amacıyla hazırlanmış olan bu çalışmada Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK)’ndan elde edilen 2013-2021 dönemine ait veriler panel veri analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Panel veri analizinin yatay kesit boyutunda Türkiye’nin NUTS-2 düzeyindeki 26 bölgesini kapsayan tüm il gurupları kullanılmıştır (TRA01, TRA02, TRB1, TRB2, TRC1, TRC2, TRC3, TR10, TR21, TR22, TR31, TR32, TR33, TR41, TR42, TR51, TR52, TR61, TR62, TR63, TR71, TR72, TR81, TR82, TR83, TR90). Yapılan analiz sonucunda konut satışlarındaki (LKONSAT) bir birimlik artışın enflasyonu 0,62 oranında artırdığı, ayrıca tüketicilerin enflasyon beklentilerindeki (LUDBGT) bir birimlik artışın ise enflasyonu 11,72 oranında artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır
Evaluation of metacognition, difficulties in emotion regulation and addiction severity levels of individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder
No full textAim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between metacognition, difficulties in emotion regulation, and level of addiction severity in individuals with substance use disorder. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 121 participants at the Alcohol and Drug Addicts Treatment and Research Center between February and June 2023. The data were collected using the Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MTQ-30), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form (DERS-16), and Addiction Profile Index (API). Results: All the participants were male and polysubstance users; the age of the onset of substance use was 16.43 +/- 5.95; they had been receiving treatment for addiction for an average of 1.79 +/- 2.16 years. There was a strong positive significant correlation between the mean total MTQ-30 score and the mean total DERS-16 and API scores (r = .704, p < .001; r = .776, p < .001) and a moderate positive significant correlation between the mean total DERS-16 score and the mean total API score (r = .628, p < .001). It was determined that metacognition had an effect at a rate of 60.3% and difficulty in emotion regulation had an effect at a rate of 39.5% on the addiction severity of individuals. Conclusion: Addiction severity was found to increase as the levels of metacognitive impairment and difficulty in emotion regulation increased

Utilization of Lands Under State Jurisdiction within the Scope of Law No. 6306
No full text6306 sayılı Afet Riski Altındaki Alanların Dönüştürülmesi Hakkında Kanun kapsamında devletin hüküm ve tasarrufu altındaki yerlerden yararlanmaya ilişkin düzenlenen yasal düzenlemeler kamu yararının gereği olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. 2709 sayılı Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Anayasası'nın devlete tanımladığı görev ve sorumlulukların yerine getirilmesi adına oluşturulan yasal ve idari tüm düzenlemeler temelde kamu yararı adınadır. Devletin yasama organına verdiği düzenleme emrinin esası insan onuruna yaraşır yaşamsal donatının oluşturulması, sosyal bakımdan zayıf ve yetersiz olanın sosyal eşitliğe ulaşmasının sağlanmasıdır. Devlete yüklenen görevler arasında ormanların korunması, tarım arazilerinin, çayır ve meraların tahribatının ve amaç dışı kullanımlarının önlenmesi, erozyonla toprak kaybının önlenmesi görevleri de yer almaktadır. Bu görevlerin yerine getirilmesi doğrultusunda oluşturulan idare makamlarına tanımlanan yetki ve sorumluluk alanlarının iç içe geçmesi ve kullanım amaçlarının birbirine ters düşmesi halinde benimsenmesi gereken ilke idarenin bütünlüğü ilkesidir. Doğal alanları daraltıcı etkinin asgari seviyede tutulması için öncelikli olarak alternatif rezerv alanlarının değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir. Afetlerin neden olduğu ve/veya neden olabileceği risklere bağlı olarak tespit edilen riskli alanların yerinde iyileştirilmesi, tasviyesi ve yenilenmesi mümkün olmadığı hallerde rezerv yapı olarak tespit edilecek doğal alanların evveliyatının da teknik olarak incelenmesi önem arz etmektedir. 6306 sayılı kanun kapsamında rezerv yapı alanının ilgili idareye tahsisi acele işlerden sayılmaktadır. Riskli alanların tespitinin temelini oluşturan teknik raporların rezerv yapı alanları için oluşturulması sağlıklı ve dengeli bir çevrenin oluşturulmasında önemli görülmektedir.Within the scope of the Law on Transformation of Areas Under Disaster Risk No. 6306, legal regulations regarding the use of places under the state's control and disposal are presented as a requirement of public interest. All legal and administrative regulations established for the fulfillment of the duties and responsibilities defined to the state by the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey No. 2709 are fundamentally in the name of public interest. The basis of the regulation order given by the state to the legislative body is the creation of vital facilities befitting human dignity and ensuring that the socially weak and inadequate reach social equality. In addition to these duties, the state is also responsible for duties such as protecting forests, preventing the destruction and misuse of agricultural lands, meadows and pastures, and preventing soil loss through erosion. In cases where the areas of authority and responsibility defined for the established administrative authorities are intertwined and the purposes of use conflict with each other, the principle that should be adopted is the principle of the integrity of the administration. In order to keep the effect of restricting natural areas to a minimum, it is recommended that alternative reserve areas be evaluated as a priority. In cases where it is not possible to improve, eliminate and renew the risky areas determined due to the risks caused and/or may be caused by disasters, it is important to technically examine the history of the natural areas to be determined as reserve structures. Within the scope of Law No. 6306, the allocation of the reserve structure area to the relevant administration is considered as urgent work. The preparation of technical reports, which form the basis of the determination of risky areas, for reserve structure areas is considered important in creating a healthy and balanced environment
Experience of Parents on the Virtual Education Process of Primary School Children with Disabilities in Inclusive Education
No full textDünya'da görülen COVID-19 pandemisine bağlı olarak tüm ülkeler, eğitim faaliyetlerini uzaktan yürütme kararı almıştır. Bu durum, ailelerin sosyo-ekonomik ve sosyo-demografik yapısına bağlı olarak ebeveynleri ve çocukları her ülkede farklı şekillerde etkilemiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye'de bütünleştirme eğitimine devam eden özel gereksinimli çocukların ebeveynlerinin COVID-19 pandemi döneminde uzaktan eğitim sürecine ilişkin deneyimlerini, süreçte yaşadıkları sorunları ve sorunlara ilişkin başvurdukları çözüm yollarını derinlemesine araştırmaktır. Bu çalışma nitel bir araştırma olup, veriler 2021 yılında bireysel yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla yüz yüze toplanmış ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları sosyo-ekonomik açıdan daha iyi düzeyde olan ebeveynlerin süreçte çocukları için uygun eğitimin sağlanmasında olumlu deneyimler edindiklerini buna karşın diğer ebeveynlerin birçok problemle karşılaştıklarını göstermiştir. Özellikle ebeveynlerin öğretmenlerden beklentileri; işbirliği ve iletişim içerisinde olmak, çocukları ile ilgili takip ve yönlendirme yapmaları şeklindedir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre COVID-19 sona ermiş olsa da Türkiye'de 2023 yılında yaşanan deprem ve olası diğer sağlık sorunları göstermektedir ki uzaktan eğitim konusu etraflıca tartışılarak özel gereksinimli bireyler için afet durumlarında uygulanabilecek eğitim eylem planlarının hazırlanması gerekmektedir.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic seen around the world, most of countries have decided to conduct their education activities virtually. This situation affected parents and children in different ways depending on the socio-economic and socio-demographic structure of families in each country. This research aims to investigate deeply the experiences of parents of children with special needs attending inclusive education in Türkiye and the problems of parents and the solutions for the problems in the virtual education process at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a qualitative research and the data were collected in-person in 2021 via an individual semi-structured interview and analyzed with content analysis. The results showed that parents with better socio-economic levels had positive experiences in providing appropriate education for their children, while others had many problems in the process. In particular, parents' expectations from teachers are cooperation and communication, and follow-up and guidance regarding their children. The results showed that even though COVID-19 is over, the earthquake in 2023 and other possible health problems in Türkiye show that the subject of virtual education should be discussed in detail and the necessary education action plans should be prepared for disasters for individuals with special needs
