Araştırma grubunu Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi'nde öğrenim gören 551 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Sosyal ve Duygusal Yalnızlık Ölçeği, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-I (YİYE-I), Yaşam Amaçları Ölçeği ve Öznel İyi Oluş Ölçeği (ÖİOÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde basit doğrusal ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizleri ve SPSS PROCESS makronun Model 4 eklentileri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, yetişkin bağlanma stillerinden kaçınmacı bağlanmanın öznel iyi oluşu ve dışsal yaşam amaçlarını negatif yönde, duygusal yalnızlığı pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yordadığı görülmüştür. Kaygılı bağlanmanın ise öznel iyi oluşu negatif yönde, sosyal yalnızlık ve duygusal yalnızlığı pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yordadığı sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Yaşam amaçlarının alt boyutu olan içsel yaşam amaçlarının öznel iyi oluşu pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yordadığı bulunmuştur. Aynı zamanda duygusal yalnızlığın ve sosyal yalnızlığın öznel iyi oluşu negatif yönde ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yordadığı sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Kaçınmacı bağlanma ile öznel iyi oluş arasında duygusal yalnızlığın aracı rolü olduğu ve kaygılı bağlanma ile öznel iyi oluş arasında da hem duygusal hem de sosyal yalnızlığın aracı rolü olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Anahtar sözcükler: Sosyal ve duygusal yalnızlık, Yetişkin bağlanma stilleri, Yaşam amaçları, Öznel iyi oluşThis study aimed to examine the relationships between social and emotional loneliness, adult attachment styles, life goals and subjective well-being in emerging adulthood. The research group consists of 551 university students studying at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Faculty of Education. In the study, data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA-S), Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory-I (YİYE-I), Life Goals Scale and Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWS). Relational screening model was used in this study. Simple linear and hierarchical regression analyzes and SPSS PROCESS macro Model 4 plug-ins were used to analyze the data. According to the results of the research, it was seen that avoidant attachment, one of the adult attachment styles, negatively and statistically significantly predicted subjective well-being and external life goals. It was found that anxious attachment negatively predicted subjective well being and positively and statistically significantly predicted social loneliness and emotional loneliness. It was found that internal life goals, which are the sub-dimensions of life goals, predict subjective well-being positively and statistically significantly, and at the same time, emotional loneliness predicts subjective well-being negatively and statistically significantly. At the same time, it was concluded that emotional loneliness had a mediating role between avoidant attachment and subjective well-being, and that both emotional and social loneliness had a mediating role between anxious attachment and subjective well-being. Keywords: Social and emotional loneliness, Adult attachment styles, Life goals, Subjective well-bein

IMPACT OF COMMUNITY-BASED SHEEP BREEDING PROGRAMME ON FARM'S PROFITABILITY AND LAMB MORTALITY: THE CASE OF THE AKKARAMAN BREED
Get PDFThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of Community-Based Sheep Breeding Program (CBSBP) on gross profit and lamb mortality by comparing participated farms and non-participated farms by focusing on the case of Akkaraman breed in Nigde province of Turkey. The primary data were collected from 108 sheep farms, 54 farms participated and 54 farms those did not participate in the sheep breeding program. According to average treatment effect results derived by utilizing propensity score matching method, if all farms would participate to CBSBP, each farm acquired 6209.13 Turkish Lira (1094.92 USD) more gross profit and would be 3.47% less lamb mortality rate in the farms. The study indicated that CBSBP provided significant economic benefit and welfare of animal. Hence, further supporting and scaling up of community-based small ruminant breeding programs appears to be one of the best solutions for improving livestock genetic resources of rural communities in developing countries. Accordingly, incentive mechanisms for participating in breeding programs should be more focused on small-scale family farms and especially the young people in the rural area
Regenerative Therapy in Erectile Dysfunction: A Survey on Current Global Practice Trends and GAF Expert Recommendations
Get PDFPurpose: This study aimed to examine current global practices in regenerative therapy (RT) for erectile dysfunction (ED) and to establish expert recommendations for its use, addressing the current lack of solid evidence and standardized guidelines. Materials and Methods: A 39-question survey was developed by senior Global Andrology Forum (GAF) experts to comprehensively cover clinical aspects of RT. This was distributed globally via a secure online Google Form to ED specialists through the GAF website, international professional societies, and social media, the responses were analyzed and presented for frequencies as percentages. Consensus on expert recommendations for RT use was achieved using the Delphi method. Results: Out of 479 respondents from 62 countries, a third reported using RT for ED. The most popular treatment was low-intensity shock wave therapy (54.6%), followed by platelet-rich plasma (24.5%) and their combination (14.7%), with stem cell therapy being the least used (3.7%). The primary indication for RT was the refractory or adverse effects of PDE5 inhibitors, with the best effectiveness reported in middle-aged and mild-to-moderate ED patients. Respondents were confident about its overall safety, with a significant number expressing interest in RT's future use, despite pending guidelines support. Conclusions: This inaugural global survey reveals a growing use of RT in ED treatment, showcasing its diverse clinical applications and potential for future widespread adoption. However, the lack of comprehensive evidence and clear guidelines requires further research to standardize RT practices in ED treatment.The authors are thankful to the following societies for pro- moting the online survey through the efforts of their members, Arab Association of Urology, Arab British Urological Society, Austrian Society of Urology, Egyptian Urological Association and Egyptian Society of Andrology, Indonesian Urological Society, Saudi Urological Society and Turkish Urology Associa- tion.

A SEARCH FOR LEPTONIC PHOTON, Z l , AT ALL THREE CLIC ENERGY STAGES BY USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS (ANN)
Get PDFIn this work, the possible dynamics of the massive leptonic photon Z l are reconsidered via the e + e - -> mu + mu - process at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) with the updated center-of-mass energies (380, 1500, and 3000 GeV). We show that new generation colliders as CLIC can observe the massive leptophilic vector boson Z l with mass up to the center-ofmass energy, provided that the leptonic coupling constant is g l >= 10 - 3 . In this study, we also estimated the cross sections by artificial neural networks using the theoretical results we obtained for CLIC. According to the results obtained, it was seen that these predictions could be made through machine learning.SCOAP3Funded by SCOAP3 under Creative Commons License, CC-BY 4.0
Protective effect of misoprostol against paclitaxel-induced cardiac damage in rats
Get PDFObjective: One of the most critical reasons for limiting cancer treatment is the toxic effects of anti-cancer drugs on healthy tissues and organs. This study aims to investigate the possible protective effects of misoprostol (MS) against the damage that arises from paclitaxel (PT), an anti-cancer pharmacological agent, in the rat heart using histopathological and biochemical analyses. Methods: In this study, four groups, each containing seven animals, were formed by random selection from 28 Sprague Dawley female rats. Control group rats were administered 1 ml of normal saline orally and intrapertoneally (i.p.) for six days. While the PT group rats were administered PT at a dose of 2 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) on days 0, 2, 4, and 6, the MS group was administered MS at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg in 1 ml normal saline by oral gavage for six days. PT and MS were administered to the PT +MS group rats in the same dose and route as the previous groups. Results: Administration of PT increased serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiac troponin I (cTn-I), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. PT administration also decreased the levels of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the heart tissue while increasing the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) (p <0.05). In histopathological examinations, pathological changes, such as edema, congestion, hemorrhage, apoptosis, and degeneration, occurred in the heart tissue of PT-treated rats. The negative changes in histopathological and biochemical parameters that occurred in the PT group were almost not observed in the PT +MS group (p <0.005). Conclusion: When the findings were evaluated, it was concluded that MS protects the heart tissue from the harmful effects of PT, probably due to its antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and TNF-alpha suppressive effects
The Impact of Laying Hen Age, Egg-Laying Time, Cage Tier, and Cage Direction on Egg Quality Traits in Hens in an Enriched Cage System
Get PDFThis study determined the effect of layer age, egg-laying time, cage tier, and cage direction (outward-inward) on egg quality parameters of commercial layer chickens reared in enriched cages. A total of 944 layers (approximately 100 eggs every four weeks, from the 26 to the 58th week) obtained from Lohmann LSL-Classic layers reared at the Nigde Omer Halisdemir University Ayhan & Scedil;ahenk Agricultural Application and Research Centre were analyzed. Laying hen age significantly affected all the egg quality variables (p0.05). Furthermore, it was found that cage direction had a significant effect on egg weight, shell thickness, egg surface area, and all the internal egg quality traits, except for yolk color score (p<0.05; p<0.01). In conclusion, our results highlight significant changes in egg quality traits due to layer age, egg-laying time, cage tier, and cage direction
Parameter Calibration of Chaboche Kinematic Hardening Model by Inverse Analysis Using Different Optimization Methods in the Case of Pipe Bending
Get PDFDrag link is one of the important parts in steering system used in automotive. The ball joint, ball joint housing, and pipe compose the drag link. In this study, finite element analysis is used to simulate the deformation process. St 52 steel material is used. A yield criterion, an associated flow rule, and Chaboche's kinematic hardening rule were used in the finite element simulations of processes involving high plastic deformation. A series of low-cycle tensile/compression tests is performed to determine the parameters of Chaboche's kinematic hardening rule. The success of the simulation results depends on the more accuracy of the finding parameters. Some optimization methods are used in the calibration progression of these parameters and the results are compared. For the purpose of optimization, the angle of the pipe after bending is set as 16.6° as soon as possible. As design variables, the Chaboche kinematic hardening rule parameters were adjusted. Consequently, calibrated parameters were obtained for St52 pipe bending. By analysing and verifying the candidate points, optimization methods are compared. The optimum parameters are determined as JSH350 MPa, C=2984.3 MPa, and ^=100 while their initial values are Y5K373.806 MPa, C=4016 MPa, and y=94. It is concluded that the optimization process gives more consistency in the bending process. © 2024 Society of Automotive Engineers Turkey.

Get PDFEğitim Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Temel Eğitim Ana Bilim Dalı, Sınıf Öğretmenliği Eğitimi Bilim DalıGünümüzde eğitim, çocuklarımızın geleceğini şekillendirmek adına kilit bir rol oynamaktadır. İlkokul çocuklarının beceri gelişimine katkı sağlamak için ders kitapları, eğitim sürecinde kritik bir araç olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Ders kitapları, çocuklara sadece bilgi kazandırmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda onlara hayatları boyunca kullanabilecekleri pratik becerileri öğretme görevini üstlenir. Ders kitapları aracılığıyla çocuklara kazandırılan beceriler, sadece sınıf içinde değil, aynı zamanda günlük yaşamlarında da onlara rehberlik eder. Problem çözme, iletişim kurma, sosyal katılım gibi beceriler, çocukların karşılaşacakları zorluklarla baş etmelerine yardımcı olur. Bu beceriler, onların sosyal ilişkilerini güçlendirir, özgüvenlerini artırarak yaşam becerilerini kazanmalarına katkıda bulunur. Bu araştırmada 2018 Hayat bilgisi Dersi Öğretim Programında bulunan temel yaşam becerileri olarak adlandırılan becerilerden yola çıkılarak yine 2018 yılında uygulanmaya başlanmış Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programında bu becerilerden hangilerinin bulunduğu, bununla birlikte Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından onaylanan ve ilkokul dördüncü sınıflarda okutulan ders kitabında yer alan metinlerde bu becerilere işaret eden ifadelerin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Verilerin toplanması ve analiz edilmesinde doküman analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre 2018 Hayat Bilgisi Dersi Öğretim Programı ile 2018 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programında toplam 10 ortak temel yaşam becerisinin yer aldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca ilkokul dördüncü sınıfta okutulan ders kitabında ortak temel yaşam becerilerinin tamamının bulunduğu, ancak beceriye ilişkin ders kitabı ifadelerin gerek öğrenme alanları gerekse kitap genelinde dengeli dağılım göstermediği yönündedir.Today, education plays a key role in shaping the future of our children. To contribute to the skill development of primary school children, textbooks stand out as a critical tool in the educational process. Textbooks not only provide children with knowledge, but also teach them practical skills that they can use throughout their lives. The skills that children acquire through textbooks guide them not only in the classroom but also in their daily lives. Skills such as problem solving, communication and social participation help children cope with the challenges they face. These skills strengthen their social relationships, increase their self-confidence and contribute to the acquisition of life skills. In this study, based on the skills called basic life skills in the 2018 Life Science Course Curriculum, it was aimed to determine which of these skills are included in the Social Studies Course Curriculum, which started to be implemented in 2018, as well as the statements that point to these skills in the texts in the textbook approved by the Ministry of National Education and taught in primary school fourth grades. Qualitative research design was used in the study. Document analysis method was used to collect and analyze the data. According to the results obtained from the research, it was seen that there are a total of 10 common basic life skills in the 2018 Life Studies Curriculum and 2018 Social Studies Curriculum. In addition, the textbook taught in the fourth grade of primary school contains all of the common basic life skills, but the textbook expressions related to the skill do not show a balanced distribution both in learning areas and throughout the book
