Active participation or legal obligation? A qualitative study of the effectiveness of participatory methods designed for local participation
The most effective structure in designing the participation process is local government units. It is much easier for local governments to establish closer dialogue with citizens, create negotiation environments for them and identify appropriate needs for participation. The intense feeling of centralization in terms of the duties and responsibilities of local governments in Turkey leads to the inability to transfer the negotiation processes in participation practices to realistic/realizable practices. As a result, permanent institutional practices do not carry on sustainably; they turn into structures established to fulfill legal obligations only. The transition from government to governance, with the winds of change began after 1990 in Turkey, revealed the necessity of reorganizing the duties and responsibilities of executives at both local and national levels regarding active citizenship; the necessity of activating local participation mechanisms was emphasized. For this reason, the application of the Headmen's (Headman means “Muhtar” in Turkish. Sometimes “Mukhtar” uses instead of Headman in some studies. But in this study Headman used to descripe partipatory process. In Turkey, there two types of “Headman”. One of them is village headman. Villages are legal entities, so village headmen have much more authority. The second one is neigborhood headmen. Neigborhoods are not legal entities. So that, neigborhood headman is responsible to City Mayor.). Workshop, designed by the Tekirdağ Metropolitan Municipality, was periodically subject to the research as an ongoing method, and its effectiveness for citizen participation was analyzed using the qualitative research method in the study. The reason why Tekirdağ was chosen in the study is that it has the only metropolitan municipality in the Thrace Region, periodic meetings and participatory democracy discourses on the sharing of duties and powers with new regulations increase. The practice was examined through 6 meetings held until 2020 since there were disruptions in the planned meetings of the practice on account of the fact that the study coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic process. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V
Epulis fissuratum eksizyonu sonrası kullanılan sarı kantaron yağının yara iyileşmesi ve postoperatif komplikasyonlar üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi
Objective: Epulis fissuratum (EF) develops around the edges of ill-fitting total or partial dentures. The best treatment approach for EF is surgical intervention with prosthetic reconstruction. Different therapeutic drugs have been tried to accelerate postoperative recovery and reduce/prevent postoperative complaints. This study aimed to compare the effects of St. John's Wort oil and chlorhexidine gluconate+benzidamine HCl gargles on postoperative complications after EF excision. Material and Method: This prospective, randomized, split-mouth study was conducted on patients who applied to Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with complaints of bilateral EF. In the study, chlorhexidine gluconate+benzidamine HCl and St. John's Wort oil gargles were used for 7 days. To evaluate wound healing, measurements of the length and width of the defect were repeated on the 2nd, 7th, 14th, and 30th days after surgery. Pain was assessed with VAS at the same time as the day of surgery for 7 days after surgery. Edema was assessed on the 2nd and 7th days after surgery. Statistical significance was accepted as pGiriş: Epulis fissuratum (EF), tam oturmayan total ya da parsiyel protezin kenarları çevresinde gelişir. EF’nin en iyi tedavi yaklaşımı, protez rekonstrüksiyonu ile birlikte cerrahi müdahale edilmesidir.

Bidirectional tick transport by migratory birds of the African-Western Palearctic flyway over Turkish Thrace: observation of the current situation and future projection
This study was carried out at a vital stopover site of migrating birds in the Turkish Thrace, European part of Turkey, on the Mediterranean/Black Sea Flyway. Ticks were collected from the birds captured in the four migration periods, i.e., autumn 2020, spring 2021, autumn 2021, and spring 2022, and identified morphologically. Throughout the study, 10,651 birds from 77 species were examined, and 671 belonging to 34 species were found infested. The infestation prevalence in total birds and the mean number of ticks per infested bird were 6.3% and 3.8 (range: 1-142), respectively. A total of 2573 ticks were collected with the following species distribution and numbers: Ixodes spp. 70 larvae, I. frontalis 1829 larvae, 337 nymphs, and 30 adults, I. acuminatus 16 nymphs and 42 adults, I. ricinus 39 larvae, 141 nymphs, and one adult, Hyalomma spp. seven larvae and 60 nymphs, and Haemaphysalis sp. one larva. Prevalence, intensity, and species distribution of the ticks in birds varied depending on the month, season, year, and species-specific migration phenology of the birds. The results show that precise determination of the tick-borne risk associated with migratory birds for a particular region necessarily requires long-term and comprehensive studies and indicates that anthropogenic climate change and habitat degradation can significantly differentiate the risk by influencing the migration phenology in birds and by making new regions suitable for the establishment of different ticks
Disjoint maximal arcs in projective planes of order 16
This paper provides the results of some computer searches for disjoint maximal (52, 4) -arcs in the known planes of order 16. Thirty-seven new such sets are discovered: four in Johnson plane and thirty-three in Mathon plane, eighteen of which give examples of 104 -sets of type (4,8) coming from non -isomorphic pairs of maximal (52, 4) -arcs, providing first examples for such sets. A new lower bound on the number of 104 -sets of type (4,8) coming from disjoint maximal (52, 4) -arcs in the known planes of order 16 is obtained. The 104 -length binary and ternary linear codes generated by the blocks of 1 -designs associated with the known 104 -sets of type (4,8) are classified

CAMILLE LAURENS’IN CELLE QUE VOUS CROYEZ ADLI ROMANINDA PARÇALILIK
Özkurmaca yazarları arasında önemli bir rol oynayan Camille Laurens Celle que vous croyez adlı yapıtında farklı benler ortaya koyar. Yazarın farklı benlerle yazınsal, fiziksel ve metafiziksel bir arayış içinde olduğu görülür. Seslerin çoğaltılmasıyla bir bakıma Camille Laurens içindeki tüm benlikleri ve duyguları arama çabasında olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Bunu yapmanın da en iyi yolu postmodern dönemin en belirgin özelliklerinden biri olan parça yazıya başvurmaktır. Camille Laurens kendi yaşamından kesitleri anlattığı yapıtlarında, geleneksel özyaşamöyküsel anlatı yöntemini bir kenara bırakıp yoğun bir şekilde postmodern anlatının önemli özellikleri olan metinlerarasılık ve parça yazıya başvurur. Yapıtlarında postmodern dönemin tüm izleklerini kullanan Laurens Celle que vous croyez’i yazarken parça yazıya başvurmaktan geri durmaz. Süreksizliğin ön planda olduğu Laurens’ın bu romanında parçalılık, metinlerarasılık, ayrışıklık ve kopukluk gibi özellikler ön plana çıkar
Rus Şair Nekrasov İçin Özel Kadınların Şiir Sanatında Yeri
Nikolay Alexeyevich Nekrasov, who had a very important place in the 19th century Russian literature, existed as a poet in the literary scene of his period, apart from his identity as a literary authority and publisher. Despite being an aristocrat, the artist, who grew up with slave peasant children, is closely acquainted with the problems and understanding of slave peasants, who were considered the lowest class of the Russian people. He integrated these experiences with realism, one of the widespread movements of his time, and tried to be the voice of these people who were ignored in their country. When we look at the poet’s art of poetry, it will be observed that he breaks this line only in the verses he dedicates to women who are special to him. The heroes of these poems, written in a romantic and pessimistic style close to the old tradition, are three women who are very important to the author. First, we see the poet's mother, who had a bitter fate in the art of poetry and died at a young age. Then, we meet Avdotya Panayeva, a married woman with whom he had an illicit affair for many years. And finally, his wife, Zinaida Nekrosova, continued it. When the poems written about these three women are considered in general, great sadness, darkness, and longing are felt in all the poems he wrote to his mother. The poems dedicated to Panayeva, one of the women he loved, are the panorama of a relationship that continued with ups and downs for many years. Those dedicated to Zinaida were written more positively and lovingly because they coincided with the most painful years of the poet's illness and instilled hope in her.XIX. Yüzyıl Rus edebiyatında çok önemli bir yere sahip olan Nikolay Alekseyeviç Nekrasov, döneminin edebiyat sahnesinde edebiyat otoriteliği ve yayımcı kimliğinin dışında şair olarak var olmuştur. Bir aristokrat olmasına rağmen köle köylü çocuklarla büyüyen sanatçı, Rus halkının en alt tabakası olarak değerlendirilen köle köylülerin sorunlarını ve anlayışını yakından tanımaktadır. Bu deneyimlerini de döneminin yaygın akımlarından biri olan realizmle bütünleştirip ülkelerinde önemsenmeyen bu insanların sesi olmaya çalıştır. Şairin şiir sanatına bakıldığında bu çizgisini sadece kendisi için özel olan kadınlara adadığı mısralarda bozduğu gözlemlenecektir. Eski geleneğe yakın romantik ve karamsar bir üslupla kaleme alınan bu şiirlerin kahramanları ise yazar için çok önemli olan üç kadındır. İlk olarak şairin şiir sanatında acı bir yazgıya sahip olan ve genç yaşta ölen annesini görürüz. Daha sonra karşımıza uzun yıllar yasak bir ilişki yaşadığı evli bir kadın olan Avdotya Panayeva çıkar. Ve son olarak karısı Zinaida Nekrosova devam ettirir. Bu üç kadın hakkında yazılan şiirler genel olarak ele alındığında annesi için yazdığı şiirlerin hepsinde büyük bir keder, karamsarlık ve özlem hissedilir. Sevdiği kadınlardan Panayeva’ya adanan şiirler ise uzun yıllar inişli çıkışlı devam eden bir ilişkinin görsel yansımasıdır. Zinaida’ya adananlar ise şairin hastalığının en acı veren yıllarına denk geldiği ve ona umut aşıladığı için daha az keder ve aşk dolu kaleme alınmıştır
Geleneği aşmak: Samuel Beckett'in 'Molloy' romanında modernist ve postmodern unsurların tematik kapanışı
Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı Ana Bilim Dalı, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı Bilim DalıSamuel Beckett'in "Molloy" romanı, modernist ve postmodernist edebi akımların kesişim noktasında önemli bir edebi metin olarak durmaktadır. Bu tez, "Molloy"da modernist ve postmodernist temalar ile anlatı tekniklerinin nasıl iç içe geçtiğini araştırmaktadır. Beckett'in parçalı yapısı iki anlatıcıdan kaynaklanır: Molloy ve Moran. Molloy'un anlatısı, anılardan, duyulardan ve düşüncelerden oluşan doğrusal olmayan bir yapıya sahiptir ve bu, bilinç akışı teması ve modernist anlatı tekniğini yansıtır. Buna karşılık, Moran'ın anlatısı, başlangıçta doğrusal bir yapıdan başlayarak sona doğru kaotik bir şekilde ilerler, bu da modernist anlatının parçalanmasını yansıtır ve aynı zamanda postmodern anlatı tekniklerinin (öz-anlatı ve metinlerarasılık) özellikleridir. Molloy'un cümleleri ve dili tekrar edici ve döngüseldir; bu tekrar, kendi üzerine referans veren bir dil içinde, hem karakterlerin varoluşsal durgunluğunu yansıtır hem de dilin gerçekliği temsil etmedeki imkansızlığını ortaya çıkarır. Romandaki en önemli temalar: kimlik arayışı ve kaybı, varoluşsal kaygı ve yabancılaşmadır. Molloy ve Moran'ın hikayeleri, hem modernist yabancılaşmayı hem de postmodern belirsizlik ve anlamsızlığı araştırır. "Molloy", modernist ve postmodernist özellikleri ve kavramları bir araya getiren benzersiz bir kitaptır ve bu, onu sadece İrlanda modernizmi içinde değil, aynı zamanda tiyatro, sinema ve edebi-felsefi düzeylerde de önemli bir eser yapar. Bu tez, "Molloy"un modernist ve postmodernist edebiyat içindeki konumunu ve Beckett'in yenilikçi anlatı tekniklerinin kullanımını vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Samuel Beckett, edebiyatı belirsizlik ve karmaşıklık alanlarına taşıyarak yenilikler yapmış ve postmodernist düşüncenin ortaya çıkmasıyla bu alanları genişletmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Parçalı Anlatı, Varoluşsal Yabancılaşma, Metinlerarasılık, Dil BelirsizliğiSamuel Beckett's novel Molloy stands as a seminal text at the interface between modernist and postmodernist literary movements. This thesis investigates how modernist and postmodernist themes and narrative techniques intertwine throughout Molloy. Beckett's fragmented structure emerges from two narrators: Molloy and Jacques Moran. Molloy's narrative is non-linear and made out of memories, sensations and thoughts, and this reflects the theme of stream of consciousness and modernist narrative technique. Conversely, Moran's narration starts from a linear beginning and progresses chaotically as it reaches the end, reflecting the modernist narrative fragmentation but also being characteristic of postmodern narrative techniques (self-narration and intertextuality). Molloy's sentences and language are repetitive and circular; this repetitiveness, within a self-referential language, reflects both the existential stasis of the characters as well as bringing up the impossibility of language to represent reality. The most relevant themes in the novel are: the search for identity and its loss, existential anxiety and alienation. The stories of Molloy and Moran investigate both the modernist alienation and the postmodern uncertainty and meaninglessness. Molloy constitutes a unique book that brings modernist and postmodernist features and concepts together and this makes it a seminal work not only in Irish modernism but also at theatrical, cinematic and literary-philosophical levels - this thesis intends to highlight both Molloy's position within modernist and postmodernist literature as well as Beckett's innovative use of narrative techniques. Samuel Beckett stood out by innovating and pushing literature into territories of ambiguity and complexity, which were expanded by the emergence of postmodernist thought. Keywords: Fragmented Narrative, Existential Alienation, Intertextuality, Language Ambiguit
Influence of FeSO4.7H2O, Indole-3-Butyric Acid and Different Nutrient Medium on In Vitro Sapling Propagation and Micrografting of Walnut (Juglans Regia L.)
Walnuts are considered a functional food and play a significant role worldwide in people's regular diets. The cultivation and trade of walnut rootstocks and saplings are crucial agricultural activities globally and in T & uuml;rkiye. Rootstocks are used for grafting and propagating different walnut varieties, and they are essential for tree development, fruit yield, product quantity, and most importantly, their ability to adapt to various ecological conditions and resist diseases and pests. Fruit growing and production of fruit rootstocks of deep-rooted plants in horticulture is given high importance in many countries. However, poor rooting and slow-growing sapling prevent establishing high-yield clonal production. Especially walnut sapling propagation is more complicated and timeconsuming than other woody plants. Our research aims to grow high-quality saplings by using biotechnological techniques. This study used modifications to the current in vitro basal medium and evaluated the effects on in vitro rooting and micrografting of walnut species. The optimal medium for shoots induction (2.93 +/- 0.90) of the plant was determined as 4 number medium (Murashige and Skoog (MS) nutrient medium with 5.4 mu M NAA + 6.9 mu M TDZ + 0.6 mu M GA3 and solidified with 0.7% agar). In trials to develop sapling, the 10.33 and 6 rooted (2.5cm root length) shoots were obtained from MS nutrient medium with 14.7 and 19.6 mu M of IBA and 348.42 mu M of FeSO4. 7H2O, and two micrografted plants in MS medium with 19.6 mu M of IBA and 348.42 mu M of FeSO4.7H2O survived. After three months in the growth chamber, six saplings were ready for transfer to the field. Our findings suggested that FeSO4.7H2O and high dose IBA treatment in MS medium is efficient for in vitro rooting and obtaining in vitro micrografted saplings.Acknowledgements We would like to thank Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sefer DEMRBAS (Tekirda Namk Kemal University, Faculty of Agriculture, and Department of Agricultural Biotechnology) for helping to supply of walnut saplings, this article was reproduced from the MSc Thesis of Tuba TuRE
Determination of In Vitro Allelopathic Effect of Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) on Some Weeds and Test Plants
As the damage caused by weeds to agricultural crops increases, the use of herbicides is rapidly rising. The importance of allelopathy, one of the most environmentally friendly strategies in weed control, is growing day by day, making it one of the heavily researched topics in this field. Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is a weed causing considerable damage in agricultural areas. In this study, the in vitro allelopathic effect of field bindweed (C. arvensis) on weeds such as Sorghum halepense and Xanthium strumarium and on seed germination of crops such as cress (Lepidium sativum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and grass (Lolium perenne) was investigated. The studies were conducted in the Laboratory of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Sakarya University of Applied Sciences in 2023. Water and methanol extracts derived from the green parts of field bindweed were applied to seeds in Petri dishes at concentrations of 1, 3, and 5%. According to the results obtained, it was observed that 5% methanol extract prevented seed germination in all plants. It was also concluded that 5% water extract prevented the germination (0% germination) of hogweed (X. strumarium) and cress (L. sativum) plants. Promising data were obtained from this laboratory study against the germination of various plant seeds of field ivy (C. arvensis), which is an agriculturally problematic plant, and the results will be further confirmed by conducting greenhouse and field trials
