Search for supersymmetry in final states with two or three soft leptons and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at ?s = 13 TeV
Get PDFAbstract: A search for supersymmetry in events with two or three low-momentum leptons and missing transverse momentum is performed. The search uses proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV collected in the three-year period 2016–2018 by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 137 fb?1. The data are found to be in agreement with expectations from standard model processes. The results are interpreted in terms of electroweakino and top squark pair production with a small mass difference between the produced supersymmetric particles and the lightest neutralino. For the electroweakino interpretation, two simplified models are used, a wino-bino model and a higgsino model. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on ?~20/?~1± masses up to 275 GeV for a mass difference of 10 GeV in the wino-bino case, and up to 205(150) GeV for a mass difference of 7.5 (3) GeV in the higgsino case. The results for the higgsino are further interpreted using a phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model, excluding the higgsino mass parameter ? up to 180 GeV with the bino mass parameter M1 at 800 GeV. In the top squark interpretation, exclusion limits are set at top squark masses up to 540 GeV for four-body top squark decays and up to 480 GeV for chargino-mediated decays with a mass difference of 30 GeV.

Thiol/disulfide homeostasis and oxidant status in children with congenital heart disease
Get PDFAbstract: Objectives: This article aims to explain the altered oxidative status and thiol/disulfide homeostasis before and after surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: Blood samples were taken from the patients (n=50) before the operation (baseline), at the 1st hour, and at the 24th hour after the operation. Thiol-disulfide levels, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), myeloperoxidase (MPO), ceruloplasmin, albumin, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), and prolidase activities of all samples were measured. Preoperative oxygen saturation (SaO2) values and neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratios (NLR) were also measured. Results: Before the operation, TOS, OSI, MPO, ceruloplasmin, IMA, NRL, and disulfide levels were higher in the cyanotic group than in the acyanotic group. When the indicated three different time points were compared, the TOS, OSI levels, and MPO activities of the 24th hour were significantly lower than the baseline and 1st hour. In comparison, ceruloplasmin levels of 1st hour were significantly higher than of the baseline and 24th hour. Native thiol and total thiol levels in the baseline group were significantly lower than in the 1st and 24th hours. Disulfide levels of the 24th hour were significantly lower than of the baseline. Conclusions: The operation leads to changes in the thiol-disulfide balance and oxidant status in CHD. © 2021 Ibrahim Sogut et al., published by De Gruyter
Evaluation of the relationship of emotional eating behaviors with food choice, depression and body mass index in adults
Get PDFÖZET: Duygusal yeme ve obeziteyle bağıntılı olan depresyon ise oldukça önemli bir duygudurum bozukluğudur. Bu çalışmada, yetişkin bireylerde duygusal yeme davranışlarının besin seçimi, depresyon ve beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) ile ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma, rastgele örneklem seçimi ile İstanbul’da yaşayan, 18-65 yaş arasında 208 yetişkin katılımcıyla yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların % 28’i erkek % 72’si ise kadındır. Beden kütle indeksi ile cinsiyet arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde kadınların erkeklerden daha şişman oldukları belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Zayıf bireyler; normal, hafif şişman, 1. ve 2. derece obez bireylerden daha düşük ağırlık kontrolü puan ortalamasına sahiptir (p<0,01). Zayıf bireylerin; normal, hafif şişman ve 1. derece obez bireylerden daha düşük kısıtlayıcı yeme davranışı gösterdikleri saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Zayıf, normal, hafif şişman ve 1. derece obez bireylerin, 2. derece obez bireylerden daha düşük duygusal yeme puan ortalamasına sahip bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Zayıf, normal, hafif şişman ve 1. derece obez bireylerin, 2. derece obez bireylerden daha düşük dışsal yeme puan ortalamasına sahip bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Bu araştırmada, besin seçim testine göre düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapanlar, yapmayanlardan daha yüksek sağlık, doğal içerik, ağırlık kontrolüne sahip olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Orta ve şiddetli depresyonu olan bireyler, minimal depresyonu olanlara göre daha yüksek duygusal yeme puan ortalamasına sahiptir (p<0,05). Minimal ve hafif depresyonu olanların kısıtlayıcı yeme davranışı puan ortalaması, şiddetli depresyonu olanlardan daha düşüktür (p<0,05). Ayrıca, minimal depresyonu olanların dışsal yeme davranışı puan ortalaması orta şiddette depresyonu olanlardan daha düşüktür (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak, depresyon varlığında duygusal, dışsal ve kısıtlayıcı yeme gibi psikolojik yeme davranışlarının bireylerin mevcut beslenme durumları üzerinde etkili olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.ABSTRACT: Depression, which is associated with emotional eating and obesity, is a very important mood disorder. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between emotional eating behaviors, food choice, depression and body mass index (BMI) in adults. The study was conducted with 208 adult participants between the ages of 18-65, living in Istanbul, with a random sample selection. 28% of the participants are male and 72% are female. When the relationship between body mass index and gender was examined, it was determined that women were more obese than men (p<0.05). Weak individuals; had a lower mean weight control score than normal, slightly obese, 1st and 2nd degree obese individuals (p<0.01). Weak individuals; It was determined that they exhibited less restrictive eating behavior than normal, slightly obese and 1st degree obese individuals (p<0.05). It was found that thin, normal, slightly obese and 1st degree obese individuals had lower emotional eating scores than 2nd degree obese individuals (p<0.05). Thin, normal, slightly obese and 1st degree obese individuals were found to have lower mean external eating scores than 2nd degree obese individuals (p<0.05). In this study, it was found that those who do regular physical activity according to the food choice test have higher health, natural content, weight control and total score averages than those who do not (p<0.05). Individuals with moderate and severe depression have a higher mean emotional eating score than those with minimal depression (p<0.05). The mean restrictive eating behavior score of those with minimal and mild depression was lower than those with severe depression (p<0.05). In addition, the mean external eating behavior score of those with minimal depression was lower than those with moderate depression (p<0.05). As a result, it was concluded that psychological eating behaviors such as emotional, external and restrictive eating in the presence of depression are effective on the current nutritional status of individuals
The relationship between history of sexual abus
Get PDFÖZET: Bu araştırma cinsel istismar yaşantısı olan ve olmayan ergenlerin zihin kuramı becerilerinin incelendiği karşılaştırmalı betimsel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi’ne bağlı Çocuk Koruma ve Koordinasyon Birimi’ne cinsel istismar öyküsü ile başvuran ergenler; kontrol grubunu ise sosyo-demografik özellikleri benzeşen ve cinsel istismar öyküsü olmayan ergenler oluşturmaktadır. Zihin kuramı becerilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla Dokuz Eylül Zihin Kuramı Ölçeği (DEZİKÖ) ve Gözlerden Zihin Okuma Testi kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizlerinde ölçeklerden alınan puanların dağılımı, en düşük, en yüksek ve ortanca değerlere yer verilmiştir. Gruplar arası farkın anlamlılık düzeyi Mann-Whitney U Testi ile değerlendirilmiş, istatistiksel anlamlılık p0,05) ve Gözler Testi puanları (p=0,099, p>0,05) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Araştırmanın verilerine göre cinsel istismar yaşantısı olan ve olmayan ergenlerin zihin kuramı becerileri arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktur. Fakat kısıtlı örneklem büyüklüğü ve kesitsel araştırma deseni nedeniyle bu araştırma ile genellenebilir verilere ulaşılamamıştır. Bu araştırma zihin kuramı becerilerini travma bağlamında incelendiği bir ön çalışma olarak kabul edilmelidir. Çocukluk çağı cinsel istismar yaşantısına yönelik koruyucu ve önleyici müdahalelerin geliştirilebilmesi için istismarla ilişkili risk faktörleri ve koruyucu faktörlerin belirlenmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Travma bağlamında zihin kuramı becerilerine ilişkin yapılacak araştırmalarda risk faktörlerinin daha geniş bir bağlamda, geniş örneklem grupları ile incelenmesinin alan yazına önemli katkılar sunacağı düşünülmektedir.ABSTRACT: This research is a comparative descriptive study examining the relationship between history of sexual abuse and theory of mind skills of adolescents. Sexually abused children were reached through the Child Protection Unit (CPU) of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Children without sexual trauma history and with similar socio-demographical features to the study group are included in the study as control group. In order to evaluate theory of mind skills Dokuz Eylül Theory of Mind Index (DEToMI) and Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) were applied. In the data analysis, distribution of the scores, lowest, highest, median values are included. The significance level of the difference between groups was evaluated with the Mann-Whitney U Test, and statistical significance criteria was accepted as p0.05) and RMET scores (p=0.099, p>0.05) based on their history of abuse. According to data, there is no significant difference between theory of mind skills of adolescents with and without sexual abuse history. Due to the limited sample size and sectional research design, generalizable data could not be reached with this study. This research should be accepted as a preliminary study in which theory of mind skills are examined in the context of trauma. It is important to determine the risk factors and protective factors related to child sexual abuse in order to develop preventive interventions. Importance of carrying out studies about theory of mind skills in the context of trauma which include risk factors in a broder sense and large sample groups is highlighted
Epistemic Justice as a Political Capability of Radicalised Youth in Europe: A Case of Knowledge Production with Local Researchers
Get PDFAbstract: This article has sought to explain a research process where a senior researcher felt the need to form an alliance with local researchers in order to enable more authentic research with marginalised youngsters. The aim of this paper is to suggest a useful model demonstrating the focal role of the primary investigator in creating an inclusive and participatory setting to produce knowledge challenging epistemic injustices. By cooperating with novice researchers in the countries we study, our methodology recognised and fostered their epistemic agency. As knowledge mediators, they helped us access many self-identified Muslim youth and native youths who are labelled as far-right in Europe. In addition to emphasising the relevance of local setting in knowledge production, the paper will also question the epistemic injustice that these youngsters have been exposed to. Both groups have been clustered in two distinct categories by previous research that has been overwhelmingly engaged in the civilisational discourse that sets these groups apart in two culturally, religiously and civilisationally defined boxes. We believe that our participatory commitment to producing high-quality knowledge will be helpful in the scientific consideration of socio-economically, politically, spatially, and nostalgically deprived youths, who feel pressurised by the perils of modernisation and globalisation. © 2021 The Author(s).

On projective invariants of general spherically symmetric Finsler spaces in Rn
No full textIn this paper we discuss projective invariants of general spherically symmetric Finsler metrics in R-n. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the metrics to be projectively Ricci flat, Weyl and W-quadratic types. In particular, we use the spray theory to give a short proof of the well-known theorem, that is, Finsler manifold is of scalar flag curvature if and only if F is Weyl metric . Therefore, considering the technique of the proof, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the metrics of scalar flag curvature to be Weyl metric. Also, under a certain condition, we prove that projectively Ricci flat general spherically symmetric metrics coincide with the Douglas type metric.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

An impossible effort in the works of Fyodor Mihaylovich Dostoyevski and Oğuz Atay: the search for the self
Get PDFÖZET: Bu çalışmada, Fyodor Dostoyevski’nin Öteki ve Yeraltından Notlar ile Oğuz Atay’ın Tutunamayanlar ve Tehlikeli Oyunlar isimli eserlerine odaklanılarak; ilk bölümde, gecikmiş modernleşmenin tarihsel bağlamı genel hatlarıyla incelenecektir. Atay ve Dostoyevski’nin Batılılaşmayı nasıl deneyimledikleri; bu sürecin onların eserlerine, yazarlık deneyimine nasıl yansıdığı ve karakterlerinin ben denilen alanını nasıl şekillendirdiği üzerinde durulurken Harold Bloom’un “etkilenme endişesi” ve Girard’ın üçgen arzu kuramından faydanılacaktır. İkinci bölümde ise, Atay ve Dostoyevski’nin kendi benini aramakla ilgili olan karakterlerinin “ben” derken ne demek istediğinden yola çıkılarak iki yazarın da romanlarında ana motif haline getirdiği kendilik arayışı sorgulanacaktır. Söz konusu eserlerdeki karakterlerin kendilik arayışı; Bakhtin’in çok seslilik ve diyaloji kavramlarından yararlanılarak; “Estetik Etkinlikte Sanat ve Kahraman” ile Dostoyevski Poetikasının Sorunları isimli çalışmalarına odaklanılarak tartışılacaktır.ABSTRACT: In this study, the historical context of delayed modernization will be examined in general terms by focusing on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Double and the Notes from the Underground and Oğuz Atay’s The Disconnected and Tehlikeli Oyunlar. Harold Bloom’s the anxiety of influence and Girard’s triangular desire theory will be used while focusing on how Atay and Dostoyevsky experienced Westernization, how this process reflected on their works and writing experience, and how they shaped their characters’ area called “I”. In the second part, the search for the “I”, which is the main motif of both authors in their novels, will be questioned based on what Atay and Dostoyevsky’s characters, who are about searching for their own self, mean when they say “I”. The search for the self of the characters in the works in question will be discussed by focusing on Bakhtin’s works titled “Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity” and the Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics, using Bakhtin’s concepts of polyphony and dialogue
