The rhetoric of tourism diplomacy: a study on Türkiye’s tourism cooperation with Russia and Germany
No full textThis research was conducted to explain the tourism collaboration
agreements signed with Germany and Russia, Türkiye’s leading
target markets, through tourism diplomacy and to evaluate tourist
flows. The research was designed with qualitative research
methods and was carried out by document scanning method.
Research data were analyzed using content analysis. Firstly, the
recurring and prominent keywords in the texts of tourism
cooperation agreements were coded thematically. Then, tourist
flows were examined descriptively. In the research, it was seen that
Türkiye’s tourism cooperation with Germany dates back further
than that of Russia. At the same time, it has been determined that
since 1980, tourists visiting Türkiye from Germany are significantly
more than those visiting from Russia. There has been an increase
in Türkiye’s tourism collaborations with Russia, especially after
2010. After this date, it has been observed that there has been a
great increase in the number of tourists visiting Türkiye from Russia
compared to those visiting from Germany. Thanks to tourism
cooperation, in the last decade, Turkiye’s tourist target group has
been tourists from Russia. This research develops the concept of
tourism diplomacy, which has been discussed to a limited extent in
the literature, and reveals its functioning between states
How does zinc chelation affect liver sphingolipid metabolism in an Alzheimer's-like model?
No full textBackground: The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of Cyclo-Z, a combination of Cyclo (His-Pro) plus zinc, on hepatic sphingolipid (SL) metabolism and antioxidant properties in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: Alzheimer's disease rat model created via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) amyloid beta-42 oligomer (AβO) injection into the lateral ventricles. Cyclo-Z administration was performed with daily gavage for 3 weeks after the AβO injection. Ceramide, ceramide kinase (CERK), sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), glutathione (GSH), total oxidant capacity (TOS), 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and caspase-3 levels were measured with Elisa kit in liver tissue.
Results: S1P, CERK and GSH levels increased and ceramide, TOS, 4 HNE, and caspase-3 levels decreased in the liver tissues of AD group. Cyclo-Z treatment decreased S1P, CERK, ceramide and caspase-3 levels but increased TOS and 4-HNE levels in the liver tissues of AD group.
Conclusion: These results showed that SL metabolism was modulated to generate an anti-apoptotic defense system in liver tissue of AD rats.Kültür Üniversites
Role of human capital and emerging technologies to achieve the climate neutrality goals in tourism industry: A review
No full textClimate change poses a significant threat to all life on earth. Climate neutrality has emerged as a crucial objective to ensure the long-term survival of the earth's natural resources. Local and national authorities have implemented recent legislation to mitigate carbon emissions by compensating for alternative methods in many industries. Tourism industry, sometimes referred to as a “industry without chimney” in Turkish, generates a substantial quantity of greenhouse gases, surpassing initial projections. This study focuses on three primary factors: human capital, emerging technology, and climate neutrality. This study examines the impact of human capital and emerging technology on achieving climate neutrality, with a specific focus on the tourism industry. The existing body of research asserts that there is a connection between human capital, developing technology, and achieving climate neutrality. A study report has stated that human capital and developing technology might have both good and negative effects on the ecological system. However, the definition and idea of climatic neutrality necessitate a comprehensive comprehension, taking into account the interconnection with the other characteristics discussed in this work. In addition, despite several studies in the literature on the tourism industry, there has been limited investigation into the relationship between human capital and developing technologies in relation to climate neutrality. This study tries to evaluate and synthesize the relationship between human capital, new technologies, and climate neutrality in a concise manner. In a manner, this review study aims to establish a correlation between three key characteristics by analyzing fundamental texts that are key terms to the ecosystem. Some of the terms mentioned here are sustainability, carbon footprint, tourism industry, and awareness. Furthermore, this study asserts a robust correlation between human capital, developing technologies, and climate neutrality. Finally, the research discusses recommendations as well as theoretical and practical contributions
Constitutional Protection of Cultural Heritage in Indonesia: The Role of Museums in Preserving National Identity and Public Welfare
Full text linkCultural heritage is a fundamental asset in promoting cultural diversity and facilitating access to education, social values, science, technology, and tourism. Museums play a pivotal role in preserving cultural heritage and fulfilling constitutional obligations, as enshrined in the Indonesian Constitution. Protecting cultural heritage is essential for maintaining national identity and upholding citizens' constitutional rights, particularly in education and cultural participation. This study analyses the constitutional framework and government policies related to cultural heritage protection, with a specific focus on museums in Indonesia. Employing a statute-based and comparative approach, the research examines constitutional provisions such as Article 18B(1) of the Indonesian Constitution, which mandates the state’s responsibility to preserve cultural heritage and safeguard indigenous communities' rights. Despite this constitutional obligation, challenges such as limited financial resources, inadequate maintenance, and institutional constraints hinder the effective operation of museums. The findings emphasize that strengthening museums is not only necessary for heritage conservation but also for fostering national and local values that define Indonesia’s constitutional identity. The study argues that the government must implement more comprehensive policies and allocate sufficient resources to enhance museums’ role in cultural preservation, ensuring their sustained contribution to public welfare and national development
Translation-Focused Technological Competence: Bridging Tradition and Innovation
Full text linkTranslation has become a multidisciplinary profession which is influenced by technological advances rather than being a
traditional linguistic discipline. Translators have long acted as intermediaries between languages and cultures,
facilitating communication across boundaries. The field of translation studies has broadened in the contemporary age,
including theories from other fields and adjusting to technological advancements that are changing the nature of translation
both in practice and education. The idea of translation-focused technological competency is examined in this study, with an
emphasis on how technology improves the productivity, accuracy, and efficiency of translators. Instant information sharing
via Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and other platforms has been made possible by the emergence of digital
media and Web 2.0 technologies, which have completely changed communication. By providing interactive communication
and translation solutions via software, mobile applications, and smart devices, these innovations have also revolutionized
translation methods. Machine translation enabled by artificial intelligence lacks emotional intelligence and nuanced
comprehension required for precise interpretation of complicated texts. Therefore, human translators are still essential,
even if technology helps to increase accessibility and decrease workload. Consequently, human translators are moving into
positions that concentrate on correcting and improving translations produced by machines. This change emphasizes how
crucial it is for translators to be technologically proficient since it enables them to use digital tools efficiently without
sacrificing the quality and authenticity of their translations. Translators may improve their performance, ensure accuracy,
and satisfy the needs of a globalized society by being proficient with technology tools and being aware of their limitations.
This paper positions translators as crucial mediators in the digital era by highlighting the necessity of ongoing adaptation
and skill improvement in translation methods. In the end, the human element is still essential to producing translations that
are suitable for the target culture and setting
Bakliyat Unlarının ve Aquafabanın Glutensiz ve Vegan Kek Üretiminde Kullanımının İncelenmesi
No full textTüketicilerin beslenme alışkanlıklarındaki değişim ve çevresel duyarlılığın artması, glutensiz ve vegan ürünlere olan ilgiyi önemli ölçüde artırmıştır. Bu doğrultuda gerçekleştirilen proje kapsamında, yaygın olarak tüketilen keklerin üretiminde hayvansal bileşenler yerine alternatif içeriklerin kullanımı araştırılmış ve başarılı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Çalışma sürecinde, gluten hassasiyeti, yumurta alerjisi veya vegan beslenme tercihi olan bireyler için uygun formülasyonlar geliştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, farklı bakliyatlardan elde edilen unların buğday ununa alternatif olarak kullanılabilirliği değerlendirilmiş ve fonksiyonel özellikleri açısından incelenmiştir.
Proje çıktılarına göre, nohut aquafabasının köpürme kapasitesi ve stabilitesi mercimek aquafabasına göre daha yüksek bulunmuş, bu da keklerin daha yumuşak dokuya ve daha iyi duyusal kabul edilebilirliğe sahip olmasını sağlamıştır. Fizikokimyasal analizler, nohut aquafabasının nem tutmayı artırarak sertliği azalttığını, mercimek bazlı formülasyonların ise daha sakızımsı ve düşük kabul edilebilirlik gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Elde edilen bulgular, nohut aquafaba ve ununun, glütensiz ve vegan kek üretimi için umut verici ve sürdürülebilir alternatifler sunduğunu göstermektedir.
Proje sonucunda, özel beslenme ihtiyaçlarına hitap eden, sürdürülebilir ve besin değeri yüksek kekler geliştirilmiş; aynı zamanda genellikle atık olarak değerlendirilen haşlanmış bakliyat suları için yeni bir kullanım alanı oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışma, gıda kaybı ve israfını azaltmaya yönelik yenilikçi bir yaklaşım sunarak çevresel sürdürülebilirliğe katkı sağlamıştır
Bir Aile Sağlık Merkezine Başvuran Hastalar Arasında Yaşam Doyumunun Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı Bilgi Düzeyine Etkisi
Full text linkGiriş ve Amaç: İlaçlar, akılcı kullanıldığında hastalıkların tedavisinde etkili olabilir, hastalıkların ilerlemesini önleyebilir ve bireylerin yaşam kalitesini artırabilir. Ancak, yanlış ya da bilinçsiz ilaç kullanımı istenmeyen toksik etkilere yol açarak yaşam kalitesini düşürebilir ve hatta ölümle sonuçlanabilecek ciddi durumlara neden olabilir. Yapılan literatür incelemesinde akılcı olmayan ilaç kullanımı konusunda çok sayıda yayının bulunduğu, ancak yaşam doyumu ile akılcı ilaç kullanımını arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bir Aile Sağlık Merkezine başvuran hastaların yaşam doyumu ile akılcı ilaç kullanımı bilgi seviyesi arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit etmektir.Metot: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir tasarıma sahiptir. Ankara'nın Mamak ilçesindeki bir Aile Sağlık Merkezine başvuran 18-65 yaş arası 260 hastayı kapsamaktadır. Veri toplama formu üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk bölüm, katılımcıların tanımlayıcı özelliklerini içermekte, ikinci bölüm Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı Ölçeği'ni, son bölüm ise Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği'ni içermektedir. Verilerin istatistiksel analizi, Bağımsız Örneklem t-Testi, Tek Yönlü ANOVA testi, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi kullanılarak yapılmıştır.Bulgular: Yapılan analiz bireylerin yaşam doyumunun akılcı ilaç kullanım düzeyi üzerinde etkili bir faktör olduğunu kanıtlanmıştır (p≤0,05). Yaşam doyumu, akılcı ilaç kullanımındaki değişiminin yaklaşık %16’sını açıklamaktadır (R= 0,160). Sigara içmeyen katılımcıların ve kronik hastalığı olan katılımcıların hem yaşam doyumu puan ortalaması hem de akılcı ilaç kullanımı puan ortalaması daha yüksek bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Sigara içmeyen ve kronik hastalığı olan, üniversite mezunu ve gelir düzeyi daha yüksek olan katılımcıların yaşam doyumunun daha yüksek olduğu; sigara içmeyen ve kronik hastalığı olan katılımcıların akılcı ilaç kullanım düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir
