DİKKAT EKSİKLİĞİ HİPERAKTİVİTE BOZUKLUĞUNDA BESLENME VE DİYET TAKVİYELERİ
No full textDikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB), çocukluk çağından yetişkinliğe kadar devam edebilen dikkatsizlik, hiperaktivite ve dürtüsellikle karakterize yaygın bir klinik durumdur (Faraone, 2015; Faraone, 2024). Sendromun bilinen ilk tanımı MÖ 493’te Hipokrat’a aittir, Alman ve İskoç hekimler tarafından tıp ders kitaplarındaki ilk tanımı ise 18.yüzyılın sonuna dayanmaktadır (Faraone, 2015)
Çevresel Eğitim ve Farkındalığın Havacılık Sektöründe Yansımaları
Full text linkÇevresel eğitim ve farkındalık özellikle yükseköğrenim gören öğrenciler için son derece önemli
konuların başında yer almaktadır. Bu sebeple araştırma havacılık bölümünde öğrenim gören
öğrencilerin çevresel eğitim ve farkındalığını tespit etmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırma,
Kapadokya üniversitesi öğrencileri üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiş olup, çevre sorunlarına yönelik
farkındalık ölçeği ile test edilmiştir. Araştırma, toplam 438 öğrenci üzerinden yürütülmüştür.
Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin daha önce sektörde bulunma durumlarının
bulunmama durumlarına göre çevre sorunlarına yönelik farkındalık düzeylerinin farklılaştığı
tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, öğrencilerin sosyo-ekonomik düzeyleri çevreye yönelik
tutum geliştirmede önemli bir faktör olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu sebeple araştırmada ikinci
olarak öğrenci ailelerinin gelirleri çerçevesinde ANOVA testi uygulanmıştır. Öncelikle gelirler,
belirli oranlarda sınıflandırılmış ve ardından post hoc testine tabi tutulmuştur. ANOVA testi
sonucunda sınıflandırılan gelir düzeylerinde en alt düzey ile en üst düzey arasında farklılık
olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, literatürde yer alan bilgileri doğrulamaktadır
Understanding human–aquifer interactions using fuzzy cognitive mapping approach at the Palas Basin
No full textThe complex relationships between social and environmental systems create challenges for environmental sustainability. In this study, we used the fuzzy cognitive mapping approach to investigate human–aquifer interactions at the Palas Basin (Kayseri, Türkiye). Cognitive maps are casual maps that reflect the perceptions and understandings of different people/groups. With this approach, we aimed to reveal how goals, perceptions, and understandings of water users/managers affect the groundwater system in the Palas Basin. The cognitive maps were drawn with farmers and state officials and transformed into adjacency matrices for further analyses. Graph theory indices (indegree, outdegree, centrality, density, complexity, hierarchy index) were calculated to characterize maps. The maps of farmers and state officials were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test. Social cognitive maps were prepared by combining individual cognitive maps. Neural network computational method was used to reveal the response of the system to different management scenarios. This study pointed to the importance of irrigation/irrigated agriculture is for the Palas Basin. Increasing agricultural yields and profits by expanding the cultivation of high water consuming crops and irrigation/fertilization was found to be the priority of people. Both farmers and state officials think that groundwater levels go down due to extensive pumping in the basin. However, farmers are still more focused on short-term economic gains rather than the sustainability of the agricultural system. Fuzzy cognitive mapping approach provided an effective tool for revealing the understandings of water users/managers about the groundwater system. The information obtained in this study could be used in the future for groundwater management in the Palas Basin
Unveiling the Protective Potential of Crocin in Septic Acute Liver Injury via Assessment of TLR4/HGM1/NF‐κB Signaling Pathway, Oxidative Stress and Heat Shock Response
No full textSepsis, defined as a systemic inflammatory response, is one of the conditions with the highest mortality rates. Crosin (CRO) is one of the active ingredients in saffron and known for its various pharmacological effects. It has been reported to have protective and healing effects on liver tissue. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective role of CRO in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute liver injury. 40 male Wistar Albino rats aged 8–12 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control, CRO (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal administration for 9 days), LPS (30 mg/kg, single dose), and LPS + CRO (50 mg/kg CRO for 9 days along with a single dose of 30 mg/kg LPS). Following the experimental procedure, liver and blood samples were collected for further analyses. Histopathological analysis revealed a marked increase in liver damage in the LPS group, as evidenced by significant histopathological changes. In contrast, the liver histology in the LPS + CRO group closely resembled that of the Control and CRO groups, exhibiting substantially less damage compared to the LPS group. Immunohistochemical examinations showed a significant increase in the expressions of TLR4, HMGB1, NF-κB, TNF- α, HSP70, and HSP90 in the LPS group. However, in the LPS + CRO group, the levels of these markers were significantly lower compared to the LPS group. ELISA analyses showed a significant increase in MDA, IL-6, and TGF-β and a decrease in SOD, CAT, GSH levels in the LPS group. Conversely, in the LPS + CRO group, CRO applications exhibited a significant protective effect on these alterations. Additionally, AST, ALT, and LDH levels were significantly elevated in the LPS group, while albumin levels were lower in the LPS group. CRO applications in the LPS + CRO group were observed to have a protective effect on these parameters. We believe that CRO holds significant potential in the treatment of acute inflammatory diseases such as septic acute liver injury and should not be overlooked

Determination of the Amount of Food Waste in the University Refectory and the Effect of Improvements Made to Reduce Food Waste
Full text linkDetermining the amount of food waste is crucial for identifying specific areas needing improvement and for measuring the effectiveness of implemented changes. This study aimed to assess food
waste in university cafeterias before and after implementing menu improvements and nutritional
awareness initiatives. Data collection included food waste measurements, nutrition knowledge
seminars, and surveys conducted from December 2020 to August 2021. Menu improvements involved standardizing recipes and enhancing the texture, color, and flavor of meals. Educational initiatives, such as seminars, posters, and brochures, were used to raise awareness about food
waste. Overall, food waste decreased significantly after menu changes, particularly in soups, main
courses, and second courses (P < 0.05), with the exception of salads and desserts. There were no
significant differences in participant characteristics before and after the improvements (P > 0.05).
Satisfaction with menu quality and meal service increased significantly (P < 0.001), and participants’ awareness of food waste improved (P < 0.05). The findings indicate that menu improvements and increased nutritional awareness can effectively reduce food waste, thereby mitigating
negative environmental and economic impacts
