Cadaver versus simulator based arthroscopic training in shoulder surgery
Get PDFIntroduction: There are few studies that compare the cadaver dissections with the medical simulators in means of talent improvement.
Therefore, the aim of this study is to find out if using cadaver dissections is still the golden standard for surgical training or using the
medical simulators in surgery could replace cadaver dissections.
Materials and methods: The study is conducted during the European Orthopaedics & Traumatology Education Platform accredited
Shoulder Club International Cadaver Course including a number of 34 orthopedics trainees. The participants were randomly divided
into two groups to be trained with the simulator (Group 1) and on cadavers (Group 2), followed by a test performed on shoulder
arthroscopy simulator (Virtamed ArthroS, Switzerland). There was no conflict of interest before, during, or after the study. Informed
consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.
Results: Group 2 had statistically significant higher simulation overview procedure time values than Group 1 (p < 0.05), the meaning
of which is participants trained with the simulator completed the given tasks in a shorter period of time. Group 2 had statistically
significant higher scratching of humerus cartilage values than Group 1 (p < 0.05), which means that participants trained with simulation
have less scratching done on the humerus cartilage than the participants trained on a cadaver.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first one to compare virtual reality (VR) simulators with cadavers for surgical
education in an objective manner, while using qualitative and quantitative data. According to this study, it is possible to state that VR
simulators are just as effective as cadavers in means of training subjects. As medical education will face a total change all around the
world after the COVID-19 pandemic, this study has the potential to be an important guide during and after this period

No full textObjectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the thalassemia disease group in Balikesir Prov ince, Turkey. Methods: Blood samples provided by 11,558 individuals (5675 males and 5883 females) aged 3-90 years between May 15, 2018 and September 30, 2019 for laboratory analysis at the Balikesir Provincial Public Health Laboratory were included in the study. Hemoglobin chain analyses were carried out using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The data obtained were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The level of hemoglobin (Hb) A2 was >3.5% in 591 (5.11%) of the total study group and these individuals were identified as ?-thalassemia carriers. The prevalence of the ?-thalassemia trait was 5.76% in females and 4.44% in males. A total of 792 cases (446 female and 346 male) had a result outside the normal range: 74.6% were identified as thalassemia carriers, 9.4% had isolated low Hb A2, 12.3% had isolated Hb F elevation, and 3.8% had total abnormal hemoglobin values. Conclusion: The prevalence of ?-thalassemia trait (5.11%) in the study group was extrapolated for the general pop ulation of Balikesir (2019 population: 1,228.620 ) and it was estimated that there were 62,782 potential carriers in the province
The interventions of the amendments in the Act no. 5403 on Soil Conservation and Land Use on the right to property
No full textTarım arazilerinin korunması ve tarım arazilerinden daha iyi verim alınabilmesi için tedbirler alınması zorunludur. Ancak Anayasa'nın mülkiyet hakkına tanıdığı güvenceler göz ardı edilemez. 5403 sayılı Toprak Koruma ve Arazi Kullanımı Kanunu, tarım arazilerinde yeni düzenlemeler getirmiştir. Anayasa Mahkemesi, Kanun'un farklı hükümleri hakkında yapılan iptal başvurularını kabul etmemiştir. Uygulamada yaşanan zorluklar nedeniyle kanun koyucu, iptal başvurularına da konu edilen bazı maddelerde değişiklikler yapmak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu kapsamda 7255 sayılı Gıda, Tarım ve Orman Alanında Bazı Düzenlemeler Yapılması Hakkında Kanun'un yaptığı değişiklikler de bu çalışmada ele alınacaktır. Tez üç bölüm ve sonuçtan meydana gelmektedir. İlk bölümde mülkiyet hakkı kavramı ve korunması incelenecektir. İkinci bölümde, tarım arazilerinde mülkiyet sınırlamaları ve 7255 sayılı Kanun'la yapılan değişiklik öncesi ve sonrası devir işlemleri karşılaştırılacaktır. Son bölümde mirasa konu tarım arazilerinde mülkiyet ve ölüme bağlı tasarruf yetkilerinin sınırlandırılmasına yer verilecektir.It is necessary to take measures for protecting agricultural lands and obtaining better yields. However, the assurances granted by the Constitution for the property rights cannot be ignored. Soil Conservation and Land Use Law No. 5403 introduced new regulations on agricultural lands. The Constitutional Court rejected the applications for annulment regarding different provisions of the law. Due to the difficulties experienced in practice, the legislator had to make changes in some articles, which were also the subject of cancellation applications. In this context, the changes made by the Law No. 7255 on Making Some Regulations in the Field of Food, Agriculture and Forestry will also be discussed in this study. The thesis consists of three parts and a conclusion. In the first part, the concept of property right and its protection will be discussed. In the second part, the property restrictions on agricultural lands and the transfer procedures before and after the amendment made with the Law No. 7255 will be compared. In the last section, the limitation of ownership and death-related disposition powers in the agricultural lands subject to inheritance will be discussed
Social media use of body image in individuals aged 18-30, an investigation of the effects of social appearance anxiety and eating attitudes in terms of various veriables
No full textGünümüzde beden toplumsal açıdan yapılandırılan bir nesne konumundadır. Bedenin nesne konumuna indirgenmesinde ve günlük yaşam alanları içindeki görünürlüğünün artmasında popüler kültürün, sosyal medya ve kitle iletişim araçlarının rolü de etkili olmaktadır. Toplumsal ortamın bedene ilişkin yargıları, bedene ilişkin güzellik idealleri, toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin ve cinsel nesneleştirme yaşantılarının nesneleştirme üzerindeki etkilerinin sonucu olarak bireylerin kendi beden imajlarını şekillendirmekte bir anlamda bedenlerini izlemelerine neden olmakta ve fiziksel benliklerine ilişkin düşüncelerini kültürün etkisi ile içselleştirerek kendi bedenlerini izlemeleri sonucunu doğurmaktadır. Beden izleme utanç ve kaygıları arttırmakta, bedenlerine ilişkin içsel farkındalıklarını azaltmakta depresyon, yeme tutumu ve cinsel işlev bozukluklarına yol açmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Kendini Nesneleştirme Kuramının öngördüğü şemayı temel alarak 18-30 arasındaki bireylerde beden imajı, beden imajını etkileyen toplumsal faktörler, sosyokültürel tutumların içselleştirilmesi, görünüş kaygısı ve yeme tutumu arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemi çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle ulaşılan 300 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Görünüme Yönelik Sosyokültürel Tutumlar Ölçeği", "Nesneleştirilmiş Beden Bilinci Ölçeği", "Yeme Tutum Testi", "Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği" ve "Sosyal Medya Bağımlılık Ölçeği" uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada hipotezlere ilişkin bulguları test etmek amacıyla Bağımsız T Testi, Hiyerarşik Regresyon Analizi ve Pearson Korelasyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre kadınların medya bağımlığı, sosyokültürel tutumları içselleştirme düzeyi, görünüş kaygısı, yeme tutum puan ortalamaları erkeklere oranla daha yüksektir. Kilolu ve aşırı kiloluların bedenlerinden utandıkları ve kendilerini nesneleştirdikleri ayrıca aile ve akran baskısına maruz kaldıkları belirlenmiştir. Yeme tutumunun yordayıcısı olarak kadınlarda beden utancı, genel çekicilik, ince düşük vücut yağ ve kaslılık alt boyutunun, erkeklerde ise genel çekicilik ve beden izleme alt boyutunun etkili olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Ayrıca yaş değişkeni ile diğer değişkenler arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin bulunmadığı saptanmıştır.The body is the intersection point of nature and culture and has both a physical and a social aspect. Today the body is in the state of a socially constructed object. The role of popular culture, social media and mass media are also effective in reducing the body to object status and increasing its visibility in daily living spaces. The judgements of social environment about the body, the ideals of beauty, the effects of gender roles and sexual objectification experiences on objectification and shapes their own body images and thoughts about their own physical selves are embodied by the effect of culture. Body monitoring increases their shame and anxiety decreases inner awareness of their bodies and causes depression, eating behaviour and sexual dysfunctions. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between body image, internalization of sociocultural attitudes, appearance anxiety and eating behavior in individuals aged 18-30, based on the schema predicted by the Theory of Self Objectification. The sample of research consists of 300 participants reached by online survey method."Personal Information Form", "Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire", "Objectified Body Awareness Scale","Eating Behaviour Test","Social Appearance Anxiety Scale" and "Social Media Addiction Scale" were used as data collection tools. In the study, Independent T Test, Hierarchical Regression Analysis and Pearson Correlation Analysis were used to test the finding related to the hypotheses. According the results of the research, women's media addiction, sociocultural attitudes internalization level, appearance anxiety, eating behavior score averages are higher than men. It has been determined that overweight and obese people are ashamed of their bodies and objectify themselves and they are also exposed to family an peer pressure. Body shame, general attractiveness, thin low body fat and muscularity sub-dimension in women and general attractiveness and body monitoring sub-dimension in men were found to be effective as predictors eating behavior. Also it was determined that there was no significant relationship between the age variable and other variables
Afghanistan's political change (2000-2020)
No full textSiyasi değişimin dünyada pozitif ve negatif olmak üzere iki yönü vardır. Pozitif siyasi değişim ülkelerde siyasi durumunun iyileşmesi amacıyla ortaya çıkmaktadır, ama Afganistan'da siyasi değişimin negatif yönü ortaya çıkmıştır. Afganistan devletinin kurulmasından bu yana güçlü bir siyasi istikrara sahip olmamıştır. Afganistan, tarih boyunca çeşitli siyasi kurumlar arasında var olan karmaşık çatışmalara katlanmış ve sonunda Afganistan yoksulluğun, sefaletin derinliklerine sürüklenmiştir. Afganistan'da son 20 yılda ülkenin siyasi gelişimi için çeşitli siyasi akımlar tarafından farklı politikalar uygulanmasına rağmen bugüne kadar bu konuda iyi bir kazanım ortaya konulmamıştır. Siyasal gelişmenin önünde, en önemlisi ırkçılık olan çeşitli engeller var gibi görünmektedir. Örneğin; toplumunun yapısı, farklı ırkların bir arada yaşamak zorunda olması, farklı dillerin konuşulması ve alt kültürlerin karışımı gibi farklılıklar ülkenin kalkınmasının önünde büyük bir engel oluşturmuştur. Ülkede etnik grupların, dil gruplarının ve alt kültürlerin uzun süre beraber yaşamasına rağmen, ortak bir sosyal kimliğe sahip tek bir topluluk olarak düşünülemez. Taliban'ın ortaya çıkmasından sonra Afganistan'ın siyasetinde yeni bir sayfa açılmıştır. Uluslararası toplum Taliban'ın yenilmesinden sonra Afganistan'ın istikrarı için Almanya'da Bonn Konferansını düzenlemiş, bunun sonucunda Afganistan İslam Cumhuriyeti kurulmuş ve 2001 yılından 2020 yılına kadar Afganistan'ın yeniden inşası için büyük fırsatlar sunmuştur. Bu 20 yıl içerisinde Afganistan'a büyük ölçüde maddi yardımlar yapılmıştır. Ancak bu yardımlar Afganistan'ın yeniden inşası, kalıcı bir barış ve istikrarın sağlanması için harcanmak yerine siyasi amaçlar için kullanılmıştır. Gerek Karzai gerekse Ghani yönetiminin yürüttüğü politikalar siyasi değişimin negatif yönde gerçekleşmesine yol açmış, Afgan Halkı'nın refahını yükseltmek mümkün olamamıştır. Böylelikle Afganistan'ın yeniden inşası için elde edilen büyük fırsat kaçırılmıştır.Political change has two aspects in the world, positive and negative. Positive political change emerges in order to improve the political situation in countries, but the negative side of political change has emerged in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has not had a strong political stability since the establishment of its state. Afghanistan has endured complex conflicts between various political institutions throughout history, and eventually Afghanistan has been dragged into the depths of poverty and misery. Despite the implementation of different policies by various political movements for the political development of the country in the last 20 years, no good gains have been made in this regard until today. There seem to be various obstacles to political development, the most important of which is racism. For example, Differences such as the structure of the society, the fact that different races must live together, the speaking of different languages and the mixture of subcultures have created a great obstacle to the development of the country. Despite the long-term coexistence of ethnic groups, language groups and subcultures in the country, it cannot be considered as a single community with a common social identity. After the emergence of the Taliban, a new page has been opened in the politics of Afghanistan. After the defeat of the Taliban, the international community organized the Bonn Conference in Germany for the stability of Afghanistan, as a result of which the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was established and offered great opportunities for the reconstruction of Afghanistan from 2001 to 2020. In these 20 years, financial aid has been given to Afghanistan on a large scale. However, these aids were used for political purposes instead of being spent on the reconstruction of Afghanistan and the establishment of lasting peace and stability. Policies which carried out by both Karzai and Ghani administrations led to negative political change, and it was not possible to increase the welfare of the Afghan people. Thus, the great opportunity for the reconstruction of Afghanistan was missed
Obligations of bank employees to protect customer secrets under Law no. 6698 on Protection of Personal Data
No full textİnsanların var oluşuyla bilgi ve bilgilerin kaydedilmesi ile veri ortaya çıkmıştır. Kişilere ait bilgiler ise kişisel verileri oluşturmaktadır. Kişisel bilgilerin gizliliği, saklanması, korunması tarih boyunca önemli bir konu olmuştur. Kişisel verilerin korunması adına tarihsel süreç boyunca dönem şartlarına uygun olarak birçok uygulama ve şifreleme teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Bankalar da müşterilerinin bilgi gizliliğini sağlamak durumundadırlar. 5411 sayılı Bankacılık Kanunu'nda konuya Müşteri Sırları olarak değinilmiştir. Bir bankacının en temel gerekliliklerinden biri banka ve müşteri bilgilerini saklamaktır. Bankaya ve müşteriye ait bilgiler bankada kalmalı ve herhangi bir kişi ya da istisnai durum olmadıkça yetkili mercilerle paylaşılmamalıdır. Gelişen teknoloji günlük hayatlarımızı kolaylaştırmış olsa da aynı zamanda hızla gelişen teknoloji ile bilgilere ulaşım daha kolay olmuştur. Bünyesinde barındırdığı müşterilerin bilgilerini korumak adına bankalar da sistemsel alt yapılarını en üst seviyede güvenilir tutmalıdırlar. Banka çalışanları müşteriye ait edindikleri bilgileri sadece veri işleyen sıfatı ile kullanmalı ve gerekmedikçe 3.şahıslarla paylaşmamalıdır. Bankalar müşteri bilgilerini sadece müşteri işlemleri esnasında ve eğer müşterinin açık rıza beyanında izni varsa ürün hizmet pazarlama faaliyetlerinde kullanmaktadırlar. Müşterinin izni olmadığı sürece kendisine bilgilendirme adına e-posta, çağrı merkezi, sms yolu ile iletişim kurulamaz. Müşterilerle açık rıza beyanında vermiş oldukları iletişim izni kapsamında ancak belirtmiş olduğu kanaldan iletişim kurulabilmektedir. Banka çalışanları müşteri beyanının ya da ilgili kanun ve mevzuatların dışında hareket ederse suçun soruşturularak ortaya çıkarılması sonucunda kanunca öngörülen cezai yaptırımla karşılaşacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı da 6698 sayılı Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kanunu kapsamında banka çalışanlarının müşteri sırlarını koruma yükümlülüklerini açıklamak ve güncelde banka çalışanlarının konu hakkındaki bilgisini ve gerek bankaların gerekse banka çalışanlarının pratikte kanuna uyumunu ortaya koymaktır.Information exists at the beginning of humankind and data merged with the recording of that information. Personal information, on the other hand, constitutes personal data. Confidentiality, storage, and protection of personal information have been critical issue throughout history. In order to protect personal data, many applications and encryption techniques were used throughout history in accordance with those times' conditions. Banks have to ensure the confidentiality of the information of their customers. In Banking Law No. 5411, the issue is referred to as Customer Secrets. The essential necessity of a banker should be to store bank and customer information. Information of the bank and the customer should remain in the bank and should not be shared with anyone nor the competent authorities unless there is an exceptional situation. Although advances in technology have made our daily lives easier, access to information has become easier with rapid development in technology. Banks should keep their systemic infrastructure reliable at the highest level in order to protect the information of the customers they host. Bank employees should only use the information they obtain from the customers as the data processor and should not share it with third parties, unless necessary. Banks can use customer information only during customer transactions and in product service marketing activities if the customer has the consent. Without the consent of the customer, communication can not be made via e-mail, Call Center, or SMS in order to inform him/her. Banks can contact the customer only via the channel s/he specifies in the customer consent statement. If the bank employees act outside of the customer consent statement or the relevant laws and regulations, they will face a penal sanction stipulated by the law as a result of the investigation and detection of the crime. The purpose of this study is to explain the obligations of bank employees to protect customer secrets within the scope of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, and to reveal the current knowledge of bank employees on the subject and the compliance of both banks and bank employees with the law in practice
Singlet oxygen formation during accelerated and hyperaccelerated corneal cross-linking: in vitro study
Get PDFBACKGROUND: To evaluate the singlet oxygen (1
O2) production of oxygen assisted %0.1 riboflavin and ultraviolet-A (UVA)
crosslinking therapy (with and without oxygen assistance), in combination with standard, accelerated and hyper-accelerated
procedures via an important quantitive marker of 1
O2 which is the photo-oxidation of 1,3 diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF).
METHODS: %0.1 riboflavin-containing wells were irradiated with UVA light (365-nm wavelength) with or without 2-4-6-8 L/min
oxygen flow assistance. Measurements of decrease in absorbance of DPBF were made in 30 mW (hyper-accelerated), 9 mW
(accelerated), and 3 mW UV-A (standard) applications, and with additional 2-4-6-8 L/min oxygen flow in 30 mW and 2 L/min oxygen
flow in 9 mW. A total of 8 different UV-A irradiance with and without oxygen supplementation groups were formed.
RESULTS: 2 L/min oxygen assisted accelerated UV-A irradiance group has shown a greater decrease in DPBF absorbance compared
to Dresden protocol. (p = 0.014) Also, Dresden protocol has shown a greater decrease in DPBF compared to all groups except
accelerated crosslinking with 2 L/min oxygen. (p < 0.001) Oxygen assisted hyper-accelerated crosslinking groups were showed
greater reduction in DPBF absorbance compared to standard crosslinking without oxygen groups. (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Oxygen supplementation may increase the singlet oxygen generation to the similar levels of Dresden Protocol’s in
accelerated group. Also, more singlet oxygen generation with oxygen supplementation compared to standard UV-A application
might be considered to be promising in terms of shortening the crosslinking therap

Get PDFEffect of chelation therapy on arrhythmogenic and basal ECG parameters of lead exposed workers
Get PDFLead exposure has etiological role on cardiovascular system diseases as hypertension, ath erosclerosis, stroke, and arrhythmic events. In this study, we aimed to compare the basal
and arrhythmogenic ECG parameters of lead exposed workers before and after chelation
therapy and to evaluate the effect of acute change of blood lead levels on ECG. Fourty con secutive occupationally lead exposed workers were enrolled, demographic, blood, echocar diographic, and electrocardiographic data’s were analyzed before and after chelation
therapy. Pmax, P min, P Wave Dispersion, and QT Dispersion values which are arrhythmia
predictors were significantly lower after chelation therapy compared to values before chela tion therapy. Lead exposed workers are under the risk of ventricular and atrial arrythmias
and chelation treatment has a positive effect on these parameters
Evaluating the effects of responsive design on the usability of academic websites in the pandemic
Get PDFResponsive design allows users to beneft from the web page without having to worry about screen size and resolution. The aim of this study is to investigate the efect of responsive design on usability. For this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of a fve-point Likert was applied to university students. According to the results, it was seen that 99.2% of university students had smart phones and used smart phones
to connect to internet with a rate of 91.3%. It was observed that the participants’ attitudes towards responsive design did not difer according to gender, and students in the 24–26 age group had more desire to use responsive design. And, university
students’ attitudes towards responsive design did not difer according to the Internet access method. It was found that 38% of the participants had a daily internet usage rate of 4–5 h and they used social media the most. Ease of use has been identifed as
the most preferred feature (Avg=3.67/5, 73.4%) of usability in responsive design by
evaluating dimensions central tendency measures. With regression analysis, respon sive design explains 74.7% of the change in efectiveness (R2=0.747) among the usability dimensions. With regression analysis, 91.5% of usability can be explained
with the responsive design (R2=0.915). Usability and responsive design (r=0.92, p<0.01) were both found to be positively correlated. It can be said that the aca demic university websites developed with responsive design are preferred by univer sity students in the pandemic and this has increased usability and efectiveness
