Happiness and social appearance anxiety in overweight young girls
No full textOBJECTIVE: This research was conducted to determine the relationship be-tween social appearance anxiety and happiness in overweight young girls. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This is a correlational descriptive study and the study sample included 343 overweight young female students from a university in eastern Turkey. A Personal Information Form, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire-Short Form (OHQ-SF), and the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, standard deviation), independent-samples t-test, analysis of variance, and correlation and regression analyses were used in data analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 21.55 +/- 3.03 years. About a third of the participants (30.6%) was composed by year 3 university students, 60.6% had an income level equal to their expenditure level, and 50.7% was residing in the city center. The OHQ-SF mean total score of the participants was 17.03 +/- 5.86, and the SAAS mean total score was 43.36 +/- 17.07. There was a moderate negative correlation between the mean scores of the OHQ-SF and the SAAS (r:-.547, p < 0.001). Social appearance anxiety explained 30% of happiness in young girls participating in the study (beta:-.547, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Happiness in young girls was effective on social appearance anxiety. Health professionals may also evaluate the level of happiness in the care and counseling services they provide to young girls during extraordinary circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic
Reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions of HVAC system in airport terminal buildings
No full textAirport terminal buildings consume more energy than other buildings in an airport due to their functional and operational characteristics. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been major energy consumers with a significant contribution to the annual total energy consumption in terminal buildings particularly in harsh climates. Therefore, improvement of energy efficiency of the HVAC system is becoming an increasingly important issue to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions of existing terminal buildings. The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the effect of various energy conservation strategies on energy consumption and CO2 emissions, including a number of modifications that can be applied to the HVAC system of airport terminal buildings. Erzurum Airport terminal building, located in the coldest climate zone of Turkey, was chosen as the airport terminal building. In order to achieve this goal, six strategies that can create energy savings and cost savings and provide environmental benefits were analyzed and evaluated by building energy simulation. The results indicated that energy consumption could be reduced from 6.3 GWh/year to 2.7 GWh/year and CO2 emissions from 1.9 million kg/year to 0.9 million kg/year by implementing feasible energy conservation strategies. This means that, by implementing the proposed energy-saving projects, energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced by 57.24% and 48.79%, respectively
Metabolomic analysis of endometrial cancer by high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy
No full textPurpose To analyze endometrial metabolite profiles between patients with endometrial cancer and controls. Methods Seventeen (17) women with endometrium cancer and 18 controls were enrolled in this study. H-1 HR-MAS (High Resolution-Magic Angle Spinning) NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy data obtained from endometrial tissue samples of patients with endometrial cancer and control group were analyzed with bioinformatics methods. Results Principal component analysis (PCA) and the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) score plots obtained with the multivariate statistical analysis of pre-processed spectral data shows a separation between the samples from patients with endometrial cancer and controls. Analysis results suggest that the levels of lactate, glucose, o-phosphoethanolamine, choline, glycerophosphocholine, phosphocholine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, glutamate, glutamine, n-acetyltyrosine, methionine, taurine, alanine, aspartate and phenylalanine are increased in patients with endometrial cancer compared to the controls. Conclusion The metabolomics signature of patients with endometrial cancer is different from that of benign endometrial tissue.Scientific Research Projects Unit of Inonu University [TCD-2021-2359]; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) [120C152]The study was supported by Scientific Research Projects Unit of Inonu University [under Grant number TCD-2021-2359].

Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu; Erzurum yöresi gazelhanlarından 14 kişi, 1 TRT Erzurum Radyosu THM emekli ses sanatçısı ve 1 Urfa yöresi gazelhanı oluşturmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, Erzurum gazellerinin sufiyane (arifâne) gazeller olduğu, gazelhanların büyük çoğunluğunun tarikat iltisaklı olduğu, başlangıçta dergâhlarda zikir ve sohbet ortamları için seslendirilen gazellerin zamanla dergâh dışına taşarak yörenin kültürü olarak benimsendiği, Erzurum gazellerinin yörenin halk müziğinde kullanılan makamları ve kullanım sıklığıyla büyük ölçüde benzerlik gösterdiği, gazelhanların yörenin müzik kültürüne katkılar sağladıkları, gazellerin icra tavrı, icra edildiği ortamları, icra şekilleri ve amacı bakımından yöreye özgü niteliklere sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Gazelhanlık Geleneği, Gazel, Erzurum, Kültür, Tasavvuf.Ghazal, which is one of the oral music genres of Turkish music, is also a literary form of verse. Ghazals sung between chapters in Turkish Classical Music are also included in Turkish Folk Music literature and are performed in different regions. In terms of literature, ghazal, which is defined as a genre in Divan Literature, also finds its counterpart in Folk Literature and can be seen in different genres. In this study, it has been tried to determine the literary and musical situation of the Erzurum gazelkhanate tradition. The performance of the ghazal, which is the subject of different disciplines and genres, in Erzurum region and the definition of the performance environments and the tradition of the ghazalkhanate; It is thought that the results of this study, which aims to determine the historical, philosophical, social and cultural situation, will contribute to the literature and subsequent research. The originality of the determinations made and the results reached regarding this ancient tradition reveals the importance of the research. This research was handled with a qualitative approach and a case study was used as a method. Data was obtained by using literature review, observation and interview, content analysis, musical analysis and sensory analysis methods. In the research, semi-structured interviews were applied to the study group. The study group of the research consists of 14 people from Erzurum region gazelhans, 1 TRT Erzurum Radio THM retired vocalist and 1 Urfa region gazelhan. As a result, Erzurum ghazals are sufiyane (arifāne) ghazals, the majority of ghazals are affiliated with the sect, the ghazals that were originally sung for dhikr and conversation environments in dervish lodges were adopted as the culture of the region over time, and Erzurum ghazals are largely similar to the maqams and frequency of use used in the folk music of the region. It has been determined that the ghazals have contributed to the musical culture of the region, that the ghazals have characteristics specific to the region in terms of their performance style, the environments in which they are performed, the way they are performed and their purpose.

Molecular communication between Apelin-13 Apelin-36, Elabela, and nitric oxide in gestational diabetes mellitus
No full textOBJECTIVE: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that affects from 3.8% to 6.9% of pregnancies worldwide, causing significant mortality and unfavorable obstetric outcomes. such as delivery trauma and macrosomia risk. The fundamental processes of this metabolic disorder that first appeared during pregnancy are still unknown. Tissue hormones, particularly adipokines. have aided in understanding the pathophysiology of numerous disorders in recent years. This study aims to determine if Apelin-13 (APLN-13), Apelin-36 (APLN-36). Elabela (ELA), and nitric oxide (NO) molecules have all a part in the pathophysiology of GDM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 30 pregnant control women and 30 pregnant women who had been diagnosed with GDM in the second trimester and whose body mass index and age were compatible with each other. Blood samples were collected from 60 participants during the second trimester (30 control pregnant women and 30 GDM pregnant women) and postpartum (17 controls vs. 14 GDM). In these blood samples, the amounts of APLN-13, APLN-36, ELA, and NO were studied using the ELISA method. In addition, the participants' glucose, lipid profiles, and other parameters were obtained from the hospital record files. At postpartum, 29 pregnant women (13 control and 16 pregnant women with GDM) dropped out of the study without explanation. RESULTS: In the second trimester and postpartum plasma of mothers with GDM. APLN-13, APLN-36. NO. and ELA molecules were found to be significantly higher (< 0.05). compared to those of the control mothers. while APLN-13, APLN-36. NO values were significantly lower (0.05). While APLN-13. APLN-36, NO amounts in mothers with GDM were positively correlated with glucose amounts. they were negatively correlated with ELA amounts. Similarly, the triglyceride amounts in mothers with GDM were positively correlated with APLN-13, APLN-36 and NO, while they were negatively correlated with the ELA amounts. Due to gestational diabetes, APLN-13, APLN-36, NO. glucose. and triglyceride increased. and ELA decreased. CONCLUSIONS: It is predicted that the glucose increase in GDM is because Apelins reduce glucose transport to erythrocytes by inhibiting the sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT) and that the increase in triglyceride and NO may be associated with high glucose levels in GDM. As a result, we believe that the above-mentioned chemicals may cause GDM Pathology by triggering one another
The effect of G-CSF used after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on engraftment times and platelet suspension replacement numbers
No full textBackground: With the use of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the duration of neutrophil engraftment and hospitalization were shortened. How-ever, there is no consensus on the effect of G-CSF on platelet engraftment time. The primary aim of our study is to determine the effect of G-CSF use on platelet engraftment time after HSCT. Secondary purposes are to determine the number of platelet suspension, number of erythrocyte suspension and incidence of acute graft versus disease after HSCT. Material and methods: Patients who had allogeneic stem cell transplantation at our center between 01.01.2011 and 01.01.2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups as those who received and did not receive G-CSF after transplantation. Results: A total of 64 patients were included. While 32 patients were given post-HSCT G-CSF support, the other 32 patients were not given. Neutrophil engraftment time and length of hospital stay were shorter in the group receiving G-CSF (p < 0.05). Platelet engraftment time was shorter in the group that did not receive G-CSF (p < 0.05). The incidence of acute GVHD of the patients in group 1 tended to be higher than the patients in group 2 (40.6 % vs 15.6 %, p = 0.052). Post-HSCT platelet suspension was less in the group that did not receive G-CSF, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.173). Conclusion: While the positive effect of post HSCT G-CSF use on duration of neutrophil engraftment and hospi-talization is evident, its effects on platelet engraftment need to be investigated
Subgaleal and epidural metastases of the undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver
No full textUndifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is very rare and has a very poor prognosis. UESL metastases have been reported in 5%-13% of the children with UESL and most metastases reported in the literature are present at diagnosis. Metastases reported in the literature belong to the lungs, pleura, and peritoneum. Radiological diagnosis of the UESL remains a poorly understood problem due to its rarity. Most of the reports published in the literature are also based on a relatively small number of patients. Approximately 200 cases have been reported regarding imaging features of this tumor. We reported a girl with UESL, who applied to the emergency department with abdominal pain. The lesion was solid and had cystic areas on ultrasound and there were peripherally enhanced serpenginous vessels in the lesion on Computed Tomography and MRI. Immunohistochemical diagnosis of the lesion was UESL. 26 months after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy extradural and subcutaneus metastases were detected. These metastasis sites were first described for UESL. © 2021Acknowledgments: Funding is not applicable
The effect of cooperative learning method on pre-school teacher candidates in self-efficacy, success and music literacy in music lessons
No full textİşbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi, yalın bir anlatımla az sayıda öğrencinin birbirlerine destek olarak çalışmasıdır. İşbirlikli öğrenme, uzun yıllardır çalışılan, öğrencilerin akademik başarısının yanı sıra tutum ve davranışları üzerindeki olumlu etkileri de pek çok kez kanıtlanmış bir öğretim yöntemidir. Dünya genelinde, bu yöntemin çeşitli alanlarda ortaya çıkardığı olumlu etkiler gözlemlendiği gibi, müzik eğitiminde de başarı, tutum ve sosyal beceri gibi farklı değişkenler üzerinde olumlu sonuçlar doğurduğu, yapılan pekçok araştırma ile ortaya konmuştur. Gerek mesleki müzik eğitimi sürecinde, gerekse genel müzik eğitimi sürecinde işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi ile ilgili birçok çalışma yapılmış ve sonuçlar genellikle olumlu olmuştur. Ancak, ilgili alan yazın incelendiğinde, okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının müzik eğitimleri sürecinde, işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi uygulamaları ile ilgili bir çalışmanın yapılmadığı görülmüş ve bu durum araştırılmaya değer görülerek, öncelikle okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının müzik eğitimlerinde işbirlikli öğrenme yönteminin kullanılması ile ilgili bir çalışmanın yapılmasının anlamlı olacağı düşünülmüştür. Bu araştırmada, yöntem olarak kontrol gruplu ön-test son-test modeli uygulanmıştır. Araştırma toplam 62 kişilik bir çalışma grubu ile yapılmış olup her iki grup 31 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Çevrimiçi yapılan 10 haftalık ders sürecinde, deney grubunda işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemlerinden takım-oyun-turnuva tekniği ile müzik dersi yürütülürken, kontrol grubu geleneksel öğretim yöntemleri ile müzik dersini işlemişlerdir. Süreç sonunda, işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi ile okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının almakta oldukları müzik eğitimi derslerindeki öz-yeterlikleri, başarıları ve müzik okuryazarlıklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda karma yöntem deseni kullanılarak veriler nicel ve nitel olarak toplanmıştır. Nicel veriler müzik okuryazarlığı ölçeği, müzik dersi başarı testi ve müzik dersi öz-yeterlik ölçeklerinden elde edilmiş olup, nitel veriler okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının müzik derslerinde kullanılan işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi ile ilgili görüşlerinin alındığı görüşme formlarından elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi ile müzik dersi alan deney grubu öğrencilerinin müzik dersi başarıları ve müzik öz-yeterlik algıları kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı fark göstermekle beraber, müzik okuryazarlığı değişkeni üzerinde anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır. Öte yandan her iki grubun grup içi ön-test ve son-test bulgularına göre anlamlı düzeyde gelişme gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Deneysel süreç sonunda, deney grubuna uygulanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundan ulaşılan verilere göre de, işbirlikli öğrenme yönteminin öğrencilerin müzik dersi başarılarına, müzik okuryazarlıklarına ve müzik öz-yeterlik algılarına birçok farklı kategoride olumlu etkileri tespit edilmiştir.

Cooperative learning is a teaching method that has been studied for more than 40 years around the world, and its positive effect on students' academic achievement and attitudes and behaviors has been demonstrated by numerous studies. It has been supported by many research results that this method has a positive effect on many variables such as success, attitude and social skills in music education. Many studies have been conducted on the cooperative learning method both in the professional music education process and in the general music education process, and the results have generally been positive. However, when the relevant literature is examined, it is seen that there is no study on cooperative learning method practices in the music education process of pre-school teacher candidates, and this situation is considered worthy of research, and it would be meaningful to conduct a study on the use of cooperative learning method in the music education of pre-school teacher candidates. has been considered. In this study, pre-test post-test model with control group was used as a method. The research was conducted with a study group of 62 people in total, and both groups consisted of 31 people. During the 10-week online course, the experimental group taught the music lesson with the team-game-tournament technique, which is one of the cooperative learning methods, while the control group taught the music lesson with the traditional teaching methods. At the end of the process, it was aimed to examine the self-efficacy, achievements and musical literacy of pre-school teacher candidates in the music education lessons they are taking with the cooperative learning method. For this purpose, data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively by using mixed method design. The quantitative data were obtained from the music literacy scale, the music lesson achievement test and the music lesson self-efficacy scales, and the qualitative data were obtained from the interview forms in which the opinions of the pre-school teacher candidates about the cooperative learning method used in music lessons were taken. According to the results of the study, although the music lesson achievement and music self-efficacy perceptions of the experimental group students who took music lessons with the cooperative learning method showed a significant difference compared to the control group, no significant difference was found on the musical literacy variable. On the other hand, it was found that both groups showed significant improvement according to the in-group pre-test and post-test findings. At the end of the experimental process, according to the data obtained from the semi-structured interview form applied to the experimental group, positive reflections of the cooperative learning method on the music lesson success, music literacy and music self-efficacy perceptions of the students were determined in many different categories.
