Relationship Between Weight Loss and Dietary Inflammatory Index and Serum C-Reactive Protein Level Before and After Bariatric Surgery
No full textBackground: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between weight loss, dietary inflammatory index (DII), and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG).Materials and Methods: This research is a retrospective cross-sectional study. We enrolled patients who had obesity surgery in a private clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, between February 1, 2014, and February 1, 2018. Pre-operative (pre-op) and 12th, 18th, and 24th month post-operative (post-op) weight, nutritional consumption, and CRP levels of the participants were evaluated. The DII scores of the individuals were calculated from the obtained dietary data.Results: In this study, a total of 140 SG patients, 100 women and 40 men, were evaluated. It was found that there was a positive and significant correlation between the decreasing body mass index (BMI) value and CRP value of the individuals. It was concluded that for all measurements of BMI, excessive weight loss, DII, and CRP, at least one measurement significantly differentiated from the other measurements. Post-op 18th month DII was significantly higher than the post-op 24th month DII value.Conclusions: Long-term follow-up of patients by a multidisciplinary team in the pre-op and post-op periods is required to ensure success in bariatric surgery results. Dieticians play an important role in changing and sustaining eating habits.Science Citation Index Expanded - Social Science Citation Inde
Sporcularda Çift Kariyer Yetkinliği: Bireysel ve Durumsal Faktörlerin Rolü
No full textAraştırmanın amacı çift kariyer yetkinliğinin belirlenmesinde hedef yönelimi ile antrenör tarafından oluşturulan güdüsel iklimin rolünü başarı hedefi yaklaşımı ile araştırmak ve bu yetkinliklerin; cinsiyet ve spor deneyimine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Bu bağlamda araştırmaya, 194 kız (X ̅yaş =15.09±1.53) ve 210 erkek (X ̅yaş =15.46±1.44) olmak üzere 404 (X ̅yaş =15.28±1.49) öğrenci-sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılara “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Sporcular için Çift Kariyer Yetkinliği Ölçeği”, “Başarı Algısı Envanteri” ve “Antrenör Kaynaklı Destekleyici ve Kısıtlayıcı Güdüsel İklim Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analiz sonuçları, görev yöneliminin ve destekleyici güdüsel iklim algısının çift kariyer yetkinlik algılarının tümünü yordadığını göstermektedir (p0.05). Bağımsız örneklemlerde t test analizi sonuçlarına göre çift kariyer yetkinliklerinden sadece duygusal farkındalık (t(373)= 3.43; p0.05). Sonuç olarak, görev yöneliminin ve antrenörün yarattığı destekleyici güdüsel iklim algısının çift kariyer yetkinliklerini belirlemede rol oynadığı; sporcuların çift kariyer yetkinliklerinin cinsiyet değişkeni açısından farklılık gösterdiği söylenebilir
The Effect of Melatonin on Glycoprotein Levels and Oxidative Liver Injury in Experimental Diabetes
No full textERTIK, Onur/0000-0001-5437-3513; Sener, Goksel/0000-0001-7444-6193In this present study, the duration of melatonin (Mel) administered to diabetic rats was prolonged so as to examine its effects on the biochemical liver parameters of diabetic rats. In the experiment, Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided randomly into five groups; the control, diabetic + Mel, diabetic, diabetic + insulin, and diabetic + Mel + insulin. Diabetes mellitus was induced by administration of a single dose of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally and rats were given vehicle as a solvent for Mel every day for 12 weeks. In the diabetic + Mel group, diabetic rats were administered Mel (10 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks to treat diabetes. The diabetic + insulin group were diabetic rats given insulin (6 U/kg) subcutaneously for 12 weeks. The diabetic + Mel + insulin rats received insulin and Mel at the same dose and time. At the end of the experiment, the animals were decapitated and liver tissues were taken. The protective effect of Mel on liver tissue of diabetic rats was investigated, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress index, adenosine deaminase, xanthine oxidase, paraoxonase 1, sodium/potassium ATPase, myeloperoxidase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, homocysteine, nitric oxide, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glycoprotein levels were determined in liver tissues. Treatment with Mel and/or insulin has been found to have a protective effect on biochemical parameters. The results showed that administration of Mel to diabetic rats prevented the distortion of the studied biochemical parameters of liver tissues.Science Citation Index Expande
Evaluation of Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Decision Regret in Kidney Transplant Recipients Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Decision Regret in Kidney Transplantation
No full textAim: This study aimed to evaluate decision regret, depression, anxiety, and stress scores in patients after kidney transplantation as well as the effects of patient characteristics on these variables. Material and Methods: This descriptive study enrolled 340 individuals who underwent kidney transplantation in a private hospital in Istanbul between January 2017 and February 2021. The study sample comprised 302 individuals who volunteered to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria. The Patient Information Form, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS 21), and Decision Regret Scale were used as data collection tools. Results: Mean depression, anxiety, stress, and decision regret scores were 2.454 +/- 3.427, 2.589 +/- 2.881, 1.825 +/- 2.073, and 18.311 +/- 20.123, respectively. Notably, these scores increased with an increase in age, and they were higher in single individuals, unemployed patients, nonbelievers, and those with chronic renal failure for a longer duration. Furthermore, depression, anxiety, and stress scores increased with increasing time after transplantation. In the present study, depression, stress, anxiety, and decision regret scores were significantly higher in patients who received transplants from their children. Discussion: The results of this study indicate that certain personal and clinical characteristics of kidney transplant recipients may affect depression, anxiety, stress, and decision regret after translation. Increasing the existing knowledge of such patients can minimize the risk of adverse effects of transplantation, including both somatic and psychological effects.Emerging Sources Citation Inde
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Toileting Behaviors in Turkish Adult Women
No full textKaradag, Mehmet/0000-0001-9539-4193; Urus Ozcelikel, Gulcin/0000-0001-7590-2488; Ozdemir, Enver/0000-0001-8131-9133; Dusgun, Elif Sena/0000-0003-0419-1150This study aimed to investigate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Turkish adult women and to compare toileting behaviors in women with and without LUTS. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 815 women. The International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Female LUTS and a toileting behaviors form, created by the authors, were used in evaluations. Nearly 50 % of the women had at least one LUTS, 45.8 % had storage symptoms, 7.4 % had voiding symptoms, and 20.2 % had incontinence symptoms. The rates of premature urination, straining during urination, delayed urination, and sitting on the toilet while urinating were higher in women with LUTS than in women without LUTS (p < .05). The rate of squatting on the toilet while urinating was lower in women with LUTS than those without LUTS (p < .05). Various LUTS were common in adult women. Some toileting behaviors such as premature urination, straining during urination, delayed urination, and sitting on the toilet while urinating were higher in women with LUTS compared to women without LUTS. Since the rate of unhealthy toilet behaviors is higher in women with LUTS, it is important to know unhealthy toilet behaviors in the management of LUTS and to organize training programs to prevent these behaviors and LUTS.Social Science Citation Inde

MethodsOnline cross-sectional research was conducted in 11 Arabic countries (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, and Sudan) from 2 August 2022 to 28 December 2022. ResultsApproximately 82% of respondents felt the need to acquire further information. The acceptability of the vaccine against monkeypox has been indicated by more than half of the participants (54.5%). Furthermore, we state that 45% of the participants are knowledgeable about the monkeypox virus, and 53.1% of the participants have never been affected with COVID-19 before are more worried about COVID-19 than about monkeypox. Participants diagnosed with COVID-19 were 0.63 times less likely to worry about monkeypox than those who were not diagnosed with COVID-19. A greater willingness to get the monkeypox vaccination was seen among the age group 21-30 years (42.4%) compared to the other age groups. ConclusionMost healthcare professionals have a moderate knowledge of the monkeypox virus. Furthermore, they demonstrated a low willingness to get the vaccination against the monkeypox virus.Science Citation Index Expanded - Social Science Citation Inde

Sentezlenen bileşiklerin hiçbiri hem kanser hücrelerine hem de mPGES-1 ve COX-1/2 enzimlerine karşı anlamlı bir inhibisyon göstermezken, sağlıklı hücrelere karşı da sitotoksik olmadıkları belirlendi. Son olarak yeni sentezlenen bileşiklerin ADMET özellikleri in siliko yöntemler kullanılarak tahmin edildi
Selecting the Right Location for Sports Facilities Using Analytical Hierarchy Process
No full textKula, Ufuk/0000-0002-4061-5873; Erturan-Ogut, E. Esra/0000-0002-4320-1545Purpose This study aims to adapt analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for choosing the optimal location for sport facilities. The location of a sports facility contributes significantly to its potential success or failure. Therefore, factors affecting such location-related decisions must be carefully studied and prioritized in a systematic fashion. Design/methodology/approach This study develops a seven-step framework which may be used to decide on a location from among several alternatives. Through an extensive literature review, this study first determines the factors affecting sports facility location selection and then applies AHP steps by asking several sports facility owners and managers to assess importance of the criteria. Findings This study determined the sport facility location selection factors as "ease of access," "facility features," "financial issues," "neighborhood" and "market," and further divided each factor into its subfactors. To illustrate the framework of using AHP as a tool to select the right location for sport facilities, we chose three candidate locations and scored them according to the calculated weight scores of the criteria, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each location. Practical implications This study provides several managerial implications that may guide sport facility investors in choosing the right location. Social implications This study presents a method to evaluate different factors for different actors of sport industry in a systematic way. Private investors can use the method for securing sufficient number of potential customers in a well-selected location. Government institutions and public policymakers can use the method, possibly with different sets of factors, to decide on the location of public sports facilities to maximize the number of visitors or to reach disadvantaged or underserved populations. Originality/value This framework of AHP method can help private and public investors and policymakers evaluate and make the optimal decision for choosing sports facility locations. This study contributes both to sport management theory and practice as well as to operation management literature. This study also refined the scattered factors in the literature of selecting a sport facility site in a more understandable and adaptable way.Emerging Sources Citation Inde

The sample consisted of 128 children aged between 4 and 12 years.Results: In the study, it was found that 50.8% of the children who came to the COVID-19 Paediatric Emergency Area due to suspicion of COVID-19 were boys and their mean age was 8.54 & PLUSMN; 2.62. 21.1% of the children were hospitalised before and 73.4% were afraid of the hospital. State stress scores of the participants before the patient education were higher in those, who didn't attend school between ages of 4-10, than those who went to school. State stress mean scores of the children from all age groups decreased significantly after the education.Conclusions: The video-based paediatric patient education decreases the children's hospital-related anxiety during the pandemic and increased their adherence to treatment.Science Citation Index Expanded - Social Science Citation Inde
Michael Hardt Ve Antonio Negri’nin Siyasal Ontolojisi
Get PDFSiyaset kuramcıları Michael Hardt ve Antonio Negri’nin birlikte kaleme aldıkları İmparatorluk ve Çokluk başlığını taşıyan eserler insan ve toplum bilimleri alanlarında hatırı sayılır bir etki yaratmıştır. Yazarlar bu çalışmalarında modernlikten postmodernliğe, sanayi üretiminden sanayi sonrası maddi olmayan üretime, modern egemenlik anlayışından İmparatorluk adını verdikleri küresel rejime geçişin temel özelliklerini ele almaktadır. Bunun yanında, modernlikte etkin olan siyasal faillerin postmodern durumda “çokluk” adını verdikleri yeni bir siyasal öznellik bağlamında tekrar değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini belirtmektedir. Bu makale Hardt ve Negri’nin siyaset kuramının sadece ampirik bir yaklaşımla kavranamayacağını, aynı zamanda siyaset ontolojisinin bakış açısıyla okunması gerektiğini öne sürmektedir. Bu iddianın temelinde Hardt ve Negri’nin modernliğe ait hâkim siyaset kuramlarından ve eleştiri yöntemlerinden ayrılarak Gilles Deleuze ve Félix Guattari’nin kullandığı Spinozacı ontolojiyi kendi çözümlemelerinin merkezine almaları yatmaktadır. Buna göre bu makalede Hardt ve Negri’nin ortaya attıkları İmparatorluk, çokluk, arzu ve maddi olmayan emek gibi kavramların başta Deleuze ve Guattari felsefesi olmak üzere hangi kaynaklardan beslendiği tartışılmakta, yazarların eserlerinin çerçevesini oluşturan siyasal ontoloji incelenmektedir
