Could Intern Health Care Students Control Their Emotions and Make a Career Plan During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
No full textThe negative effects of the pandemic caused students to make changes in their career plans and their ability to manage their emotional states. Not only health students in our country, but also students in other countries of the world experienced fear, anxiety, and unwillingness to participate in professional practices and the provision of care for patients with COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted to determine factors influencing intern healthcare students' career adaptability and their ability to manage emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 219 intern healthcare students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences Undergraduate Program of a University in the fall semester of the 2020 to 2021 academic year. The study data were collected online using the Personal Information Form, Career Adapt-Ability Scale (CAAS), and Courtauld Emotional Control Scale (CECS). The data obtained were analyzed by using the independent samples t-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), correlation tests, and the regression model to distinguish variables significantly. Two models explained more than 50% of the variance of CAAS and CECS regarding COVID-19, and 5.1% of the career planning regarding the period during the COVID-19 pandemic (P < .05). As the students' control over their careers decreased during the COVID-19, their feelings of anxiety and unhappiness increased (P < .05). Of the variables, sex, department, future expectations, the position dreamed of being in after graduation, and attitudes toward patient care with COVID-19 affected their CAAS and CECS scores
THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF Fe-EDDHA APPLICATIONS IN A VINEYARD (Vitis vinifera L.) IN THE SEMI-ARID ENVIRONMENT
No full textMost of the production of seedless grapes ( Vitis vinifera L.) in Turkey is covered by the Aegean region, mainly in Manisa Province. It accounts for a significant part of the export (80%). One of the widespread micro element deficiencies in the soils of the Aegean Region in Turkey is Fe deficiency (Fe chlorosis). The inorganic Fe salts applied into the soils or sprayed on the leaves and organic chelates containing Fe such as FeEDTA or FeEDDHA have been used to correct Fe chlorosis in recent years. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different FeEDDHA dosages on some yield quality parameters (total soluble solids %, pH, titratable acidity %, total Fe and active Fe content in leaves) of fresh grapes and some macro-and micro elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, active Fe) in leaves. In the study, four different doses of FeEDDHA (0, 20, 40, 60 g(-1)) were applied to the soil. It was found that there was less N deficiency but more P and K deficiency in the vineyard. Moreover, Ca, Mg, total Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu deficiency were not observed in the vineyard. The yield of fresh grapes increased with the iron content, with the most efficient result obtained at a level of 20 g(-1) FeEDDHA
Towards a better understanding of Prunus (Rosaceae): molecular and morphological notes on Prunus subgenus Cerasus in Turkey
No full textIn this study, we explore the relationships among taxa of Prunus subgenus Cerasus in Turkey using a combination of macromorphology, micromorphology and molecular techniques. We recorded qualitative and quantitative characteristics of flowers, leaves, seeds and endocarp for 96 populations representing 14 taxa of Prunus subgenus Cerasus. ITS, matK, ycf1, trnL-trnF DNA sequence data were used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees for this group. Haplotype analyses results found 11 haplotypes among the samples used in this study. We also note that the infraspecific taxa of Cerasus angustifolia (=P. albicaulis), P. mahaleb, P. microcarpa and P. prostrata, as described by previous authors, do not exhibit significant differences even among the features of foliar morphology that are so often used to distinguish them from one another. As a general rule, our analyses indicate that the highly variable features of leaf micromorphology and endocarp and seed micromorphology are not taxonomically significant. In contrast, although floral morphology is often overlooked in systematic studies of Prunus subgenus Cerasus, we found several taxonomically useful flower characters, including sepal indumentum, hypanthium shape and indumentum and petal shape. This work clarifies the infraspecific relationships of members of Prunus subgenus Cerasus in Turkey and solves some taxonomic problems
The Fate of an Ottoman Armenian Family; Balyozzades
No full textIn the 19th century the importance of the non- Muslim community of the Ottoman economy is well known. The city of Izmir was one of the places where existed an intense commercial life. The Armenian Balyozzade family living in Izmir had an important place in the city of commerce. But there is not much information about this family. Balyozade family had probably come to Izmir in the 19th century and became one of the leading traders in the city. They made some investments in agriculture, industry and commerce. Balyozade family members were among the founders of the Hamidiye Ferry and served as the directors of the company for a long time. The family's activities were not limited to Izmir. They had some investments in other cities as well, i. e. in agriculture in Manisa. Balyozzades were effective at commercial organizations in Izmir. They took part in the foundation of Izmir Chamber of Commerce. For many years, they were in the management of the Chamber. The family was also city management. They were among the members of the Provincial Council and the Municipal Council. Balyozzade family was affected extremely negatively by the Armenian terrorist movement. A member of the family was killed by the Armenian terrorists. Another member was arrested while helping the terrorists. They probably were not subjected to the Deportation in 1915. But they were not certainly in Turkey during the Republican Era
What is the Color of Cancer?
No full textObjective: To investigate the colors that evokes cancer in the patients with prostate, lung and breast cancer, and in healthy controls. Materials and Methods: A visual card in one of the 9 colors (white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, navy, black) was shown to totally 210 patients diagnosed with lung cancer (LC), prostate cancer (PC) or breast cancer (BC) and 200 healthy participants and the question of What is the color of cancer? was asked to them. Disease information of the cancer patients were also recorded. Results: The mean ages of the patient and control groups were 61.54 and 20.49, respectively (p<0.001). While the most preferred color was yellow (24.8%) in the patient group, it was red (39%) in the control group. The patients were divided into three groups according to both type and stage of cancer. While the patients with PC and BC selected yellow color, the patients with LC selected black color. The patients without recurrent and residual diseases preferred yellow, patients with local recurrence preferred red and patients with distant metastasis preferred black colors. Conclusion: While cancer patients selected yellow color which represents positive emotions, the healthy young individuals selected red color which represents negative emotions. However, progressive or aggressive cancer patients selected red and black colors which is associated with negative emotions
The Distribution and Heterogeneity of Mast Cells in the Cecum of Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)
No full textThe aim of the present study is to investigate the location and heterogeneity of mast cells in quail cecum. Cecum samples were fixed in basic lead acetate (BLA), Carnoy's, isotonic formaldehyde acetic acid (IFAA) and 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) solutions. The sections were stained with an alcian blue-critical electrolyte concentration (AB-CEC) (pH 5.8, 0.3 M MgCl2) and safranin O (SO) (pH 1.0) used in a combined method and with toluidine blue (TB) (pH 0.5). Mast-cell population was shown in highest ratios in all layers of Carnoy fixed cecum parts within TB-stained sections. Metachromatic mast cell density was determined the most in tunica mucosa layers of the middle and distal cecum. It was seen that AB-CEC (+)/SO (-) mast-cell density was greater in tunica mucosa layers of the proximal and middle cecum in IFAA and BLA fixed tissues campare to Carnoy fixation. At the end of the study; it can be said that Carnoy solution fixed the connective tissue mast cells, as well as IFAA and BLA solutions fixed the mucosal mast cells better
Does Fetal Malnutrition Affect Ghrelin, Leptin, Adiponectin and Insulin Levels in the Cord Blood of Newborns?
No full textAim: Fetal malnutrition is a condition characterized clinically by the inability of subcutaneous adipose tissue and muscle mass to reach the mai amount or by significant intrauterine loss. The major hormones regulating fetal growth, fetal energy metabolism and adipogenesis are insulin, leptin, ghrelin and adiponectin. Cholesterol and triglycerides are very important in fetal growth in the last period of pregnancy. In this study, it was aimed to compare the glucose, insulin, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the cord blood of newborn babies with and without fetal malnutrition. Materials and Methods: Term babies born in our hospital were included in this study. Babies with a Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status of 24 or below were considered as cases with fetal malnutrition, and those over 24 were considered as cases without fetal malnutrition. Glucose, insulin, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels were studied from blood samples taken from the umbilical cord after delivery. Results: A total of 80 term newborn babies (40 babies with fetal malnutrition and 40 babies without fetal malnutrition) were included in this study. Birth weight, glucose and insulin values were found to be significantly lower in the group with fetal malnutrition (p<0.001; p<0.001; p=0.047, respectively), and adiponectin levels were found to be significantly higher (p<0.001). Concluslon: In our study, adiponectin levels in cord blood were found to be high in infants with fetal malnutrition. Considering the anti-inflammatory role of adiponectin, high adiponectin levels in infants with fetal malnutrition may directly or indirectly reflect a protective mechanism
Generalized normal ruled surface of a curve in the Euclidean 3-space
No full textIn this study, we define the generalized normal ruled surface of a curve in the Euclidean 3-space E-3. We study the geometry of such surfaces by calculating the Gaussian and mean curvatures to determine when the surface is flat or minimal (equivalently, helicoid). We examine the conditions for the curves lying on this surface to be asymptotic curves, geodesics or lines of curvature. Finally, we obtain the Frenet vectors of generalized normal ruled surface and get some relations with helices and slant ruled surfaces and we give some examples for the obtained results
Incorporating Symbolic Discrete Controller Synthesis into a Virtual Robot Experimental Platform: An Implementation with Collaborative Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Robots
No full textWe introduce a modeling framework aimed at incorporating symbolic discrete controller synthesis (DCS) into a virtual robot experimental platform. This framework involves symbolically representing the behaviors of robotic systems along with their control objectives using synchronous programming techniques. We employed DCS algorithms through the reactive synchronous environment ReaX to generate controllers that fulfill specified objectives. These resulting controllers were subsequently deployed on the virtual robot experimental platform Simscape. To demonstrate and validate our approach, we provide an implementation example involving collaborative UAV robots
