Cyprus problem in Turkey-EU relations
No full textBu çalışmada Türkiye-AB İlişkilerinde Kıbrıs Sorunu detaylıca değerlendirilecektir. Son dönem Türk dış politikasının en önemli sorunlarından biri olan Kıbrıs sorunu, geçmişten bugüne güncelliğini koruyan bir sorun olmuştur. Uzun yıllar Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun egemenliği altında olan Kıbrıs, 1878'de İngiltere'ye kiraya verilerek yeni bir dönemi başlatmıştır. Başlarda Türkiye, İngiltere ve Yunanistan'ı ilgilendiren bir sorun haline gelmiştir ancak bölgede yaşanan değişimler ile küreselleşerek AB'nin de dikkatini çekmiş ve günümüzde Türkiye-AB ilişkilerini etkileyen konuların başında gelmektedir.1959 yılında AET'ye başvuruda bulunarak AB'ye üyelik sürecini başlatan Türkiye, bu süreçte beklediği şekilde yol alamamıştır. AB'nin Kıbrıs'a bakış açısı, Yunanistan'ın üyelik süreci ve en son olarak da 2004 yılında GKRY'nin birliğe tam üye olması ile Kıbrıs, Türkiye için bir ön koşul haline gelmiştir ve AB'nin tarafını belli etmesi ile içinden çıkılamaz bir hal alarak günümüzde de geçerliliğini koruyan bir soruna dönüşmüştür. Bu tezin yazılış amacı; stratejik konumu nedeni ile Kıbrıs adasının geçmişten bugüne güncelliğini koruyan bir sorun haline nasıl geldiğini araştırmak ve bu soruna dahil olan Türkiye, Yunanistan ve AB'nin tutumu ile AB zirvelerinde ortaya çıkan sonuçların, Türkiye-AB ilişkilerine olan etkilerinin detaylıca analiz edilmek istenmesidir. Ayrıca Kıbrıs'ın, Türkiye ve AB için neden önemli olduğu, Türkiye'nin AB'ye yönelik elinde bulundurduğu kozların neler olduğu ve küresel güçlerin soruna bakış açısı etrafında çok boyutlu bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Sorunun çözülememesinin en önemli nedeni birçok ülkenin taraf olması ve kendi ulusal çıkarlarından dolayı adadan faydalanmak istemeleridir. Kıbrıs sorununda yaşanan son gelişmeler, Türkiye-AB ilişkilerinin de gelecekteki seyrini belirleyecektir.In this study, the Cyprus Problem in Turkey-EU Relations will be evaluated in detail. The Cyprus problem, which is one of the most important problems of the recent Turkish foreign policy, has been a problem that maintains its currency from past to present. Cyprus, which was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for many years, was leased to England in 1878 and started a new era. At first, it became a problem that concerns Turkey, England and Greece, but with the changes in the region, it became globalized and attracted the attention of the EU, and today it is one of the leading issues affecting Turkey-EU relations. Turkey, which started the EU membership process by applying to the EEC in 1959, could not proceed as expected in this process. The EU's perspective on Cyprus, Greece's accession process, and finally with the full membership of the Greek Cypriot Administration in 2004, Cyprus has become a prerequisite for Turkey and it is an inextricable situation when the EU declares its side. It has turned into a problem that still remains valid today. The purpose of writing this thesis; The aim of this study is to investigate how the island of Cyprus has become a current issue from the past to the present due to its strategic location, and to analyze in detail the attitudes of Turkey, Greece and the EU involved in this problem and the effects of the results of the EU summits on Turkey-EU relations. In addition, a multidimensional research has been carried out on why Cyprus is important for Turkey and the EU, what trump cards Turkey holds against the EU, and the perspective of global powers on the problem. The most important reason why the problem could not be solved is that many countries are parties and want to benefit from the island for their own national interests. The latest developments in the Cyprus problem will also determine the future course of Turkey-EU relations
The organization of sports, the legal status of sports federations, and their place and position in the administrative organization
No full textBu çalışmada sporun teşkilatlanması, spor federasyonlarının hukuki statüsü ve idari teşkilat içerisindeki yeri ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Genel olarak bakıldığında, Spor federasyonlarını düzenleyen 3289 sayılı, yeni adıyla Gençlik ve Spor Hizmetleri Kanunu, spor federasyonlarının sahip olduğu tüzel kişiliğin hukukî niteliğini açıkça ortaya koymamıştır. Bu nedenle spor federasyonlarının özel hukuk tüzel kişiliğine mi yoksa kamu tüzel kişiliğine mi sahip olduğunun belirlenmesi çok kritik bir öğe olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Çalışmada bu konuda yargı içtihatları ve doktrinde yer alan görüşlere de yer vermek suretiyle bir değerlendirme yapılmış ve çeşitli önerilere yer verilmiştir.This study, it's aimed to reveal the organization of sports, the legal status of sports federations, and their place and position in the administrative organization. Generally, law no 3289 on Youth and Sports Services, which regulates sports federations, doesn't clearly define the legal character of the legal entity owned by sports federations. For this reason, determining whether sports federations have a private legal entity or a public legal entity is a very critical element. In this study, an development has been made by including the opinions in the jurisprudence and doctrine and various suggestions have been made
How should we teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Randomized multi-center study
No full textBackground: A 2017 update of the resuscitation guideline indicated the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback devices as a resuscitation teaching method. The aim of the study was to compare the influence of two techniques of CPR teaching on the quality of resuscitation performed by medical students. Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, simulation study and involved 115 first year students of medicine. The participants underwent a basic life support (BLS) course based on the American Heart Association guidelines, with the first group (experimental group) performing chest compressions to observe, in real-time, chest compression parameters indicated by software included in the simulator, and the second group (control group) performing compressions without this possibility. After a 10-minute resuscitation, the participants had a 30-minute break and then a 2-minute cycle of CPR. One month after the training, study participants performed CPR, without the possibility of observing real-time measurements regarding quality of chest compression. Results: One month after the training, depth of chest compressions in the experimental and control group was 50 mm (IQR 46-54) vs. 39 mm (IQR 35-42; p = 0.001), compression rate 116 CPM (IQR 102-125) vs. 124 CPM (IQR 116-134; p = 0.034), chest relaxation 86% (IQR 68-89) vs. 74% (IQR 47-80; p = 0.031) respectively. Conclusions: Observing real-time chest compression quality parameters during BLS training may improve the quality of chest compression one month after the training including correct hand positioning, compressions depth and rate compliance.ERC Research Net; Polish Society of Disaster MedicineStudy supported by the ERC Research Net, and the Polish Society of Disaster Medicine
Examining the differential rater functioning in the process of assessing writing skills of middle school 7th grade students
Get PDFWhen students present writing tasks that require higher order thinking
skills to work, one of the most important problems is scoring these
writing tasks objectively. The fact that raters give scores below or above
their performance based on several environmental factors affects the
consistency of the measurements. Inconsistencies in scoring negatively
affect the validity and reliability of student performance and cause the
scores obtained to be questioned. In regard to the validity and reliability
of these measurements, it is significant to identify the rater behavior and
correct the sources of error. This study aims to analyze the differential
rater functioning (DRF), which is one of the problematic rater behaviors,
in evaluating compositions written by middle school 7th-grade students
within the scope of the Turkish course. 86 students attending a public
school were participated the study. Students' compositions were rated
using an analytical rubric by 8 teachers from different institutions. In this
correlational research, the many facet Rasch model was used, and five
variables including students, raters’ and, students’ gender, students’
qualification, and evaluation criteria were examined. it was examined
whether the raters show DRF on an individual and group basis based on
the dual interaction analysis, including the gender of the student x rater
and the student's competence x rater. The findings have revealed that
DRF at the group level does not interfere with the measurements, while
the individual level DRF is involved in the measurements. It was
determined that the level of DRF mixing in the measurements of
successful students was the lowest. Especially rigid and lenient raters
were found to show DRF. In the present study, it was observed that the
raters showing DRF was also the most lenient raters, while these raters
did not show DRF in terms of the gender of the studen
Psychological factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
Get PDFBackground Vaccine hesitancy is an important public health problem.
Aims Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may aid future public health messaging. This study, in
which we planned to study the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, aims to reveal the relationship between “intol erance of uncertainty,” “belief in conspiracy theories,” and “COVID-19 phobia” with vaccine hesitancy.
Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted during a COVID-19 outbreak. Participants were reached via various
social media platforms and e-mailing lists for convenience. Data were collected with an online survey using SurveyMonkey
application. “Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12),” “Conspiracy Mentality Scale (CMS),” and “COVID-19 Phobia
Scale” were applied to 488 participants. Statistical signifcance level was considered p<0.05.
Results Four hundred eighty-eight people between the ages of 18 and 65 participated. Twenty-one participants were excluded
from the analysis due to random marking and unreasonable flling times (<10 min). In this way, analyzes were made with
467 people. We found a positive correlation between the belief in conspiracy theories and vaccine hesitancy (p<0.05). And
also found that individuals with low fear of COVID-19 would hesitate about vaccination (p<0.05).
Conclusions Vaccine hesitancy is an important public health problem, and it puts public health at risk, especially during the
epidemic period we live in. Therefore, it is important to understand the psychological factors involved in vaccine hesitancy.
It would be useful to look for ways to spread accurate information about the vaccine in a healthier way in this case
Evaluation of the efficacy of pro-yellow laser in the management of vascular skin disorders
Get PDFBackground: Lasers have great importance in the management of vascular skin lesions.
Aim: To determine the efficacy of 577-nm pro-yellow laser in cure of certain vascular
skin diseases.
Material and methods: Seventy-four patients who are diagnosed as vascular skin
diseases were involved in this study. All participants were treated with 577-nm pro yellow laser with 4-week intervals. The photographs that were taken before and at
every following visit were used to evaluate improvement.
Results: A significant improvement occurred in port-wine stain, rosacea, facial telangi ectasia, venous lake, scrotal angiokeratoma, and cherry angioma cases.
Conclusion: Vascular skin lesions can be treated with 577-nm pro-yellow laser with a
minimal adverse effect and great success rate
Image reconstruction for diffuse optical tomography using bi-conjugate gradient and transpose-free quasi minimal residual algorithms and comparison of them
Get PDFDiffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a new emerging modality in the diagnosis of
soft tissue abnormalities. DOT image quality substantially depends on the recon struction stage. In the literature, there are many reconstruction algorithms used in
DOT systems. However, some algorithms were improved for solving specific cases
but still need to be improved. The bi-conjugate gradient (BiCG) enhanced is one
of the conjugate gradient (CG)-based reconstruction techniques for non-Hermitian
systems. The BiCG provides a solution to a non-Hermitian system. However, it
has erratic convergence in some cases. Therefore, DOT images reconstructed by
BiCG can be at the wrong location and is inaccurate in some cases. In this study,
we used continuous-wave diffuse optical tomography (CW-DOT) to acquire mea surements from breast tissue phantoms with single or double inclusion at different
depths and center-to-center separations and we have used the transpose free quasi
minimal residual (TFQMR) reconstruction algorithm, improved as an alternative
to BiCG for the first time in the CW-DOT system. Moreover, we have experimen tally proved that TFQMR is superior to BiCG in some specific cases for the first
time in CW-DOT. Therefore, we concluded that TFQMR has the potential to be
able to be used in the reconstruction stage in CW-DOT
The assessment of the relationship between the vascularity of FIGO Type 4-7 leiomyomas and abnormal uterine bleeding
Get PDFThe current study aimed to analyse and compare the vascularity of FIGO Type 4–7 leiomyoma speci mens obtained from women with or without abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The records of 31
women who underwent myomectomy for FIGO Type 4–7 leiomyomas in a university hospital setting
were analysed. Group I (n ¼ 16) was composed of women that were symptomatic for AUB and group II
(n ¼ 15) consisted of asymptomatic cases. The myomectomy material(s) of each case were processed
with CD34 staining and evaluated by Image JVR
software (Image J 1.52a, Wayne Rasband National
Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). There was no statistically significant difference between the rates
of vascular areas in the specimens of the two groups (p>.05). Although areas with large vessels were
higher in group I compared to group II, the difference did not reach statistical significance (p>.05).
AUB caused by FIGO Type 4–7 leiomyomas seems to be related to factors other than vascular density
