No full textProspective Teachers' Views on the Representation of Teachers in Social Media
No full textRapid advancements in information and communication technology have deeply transformed the pedagogical and structural aspects of education and training systems. Most particularly, the inclusion of social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, etc.) in the classroom environment has produced dramatic effects on the role of teachers, resulting in the appearance of education influencers, namely edu-influencers, or teacher influencers. Edu-influencers are the individuals who actively create educational content, materials, or philosophies by leveraging these social media platforms. Within this context, investigating prospective teachers' views on the edu-influencers has come into prominence in order to reveal the current situation of the teacher profession in the digital era. Therefore, this paper aimed to examine the representation of teachers in social media from the perspectives of prospective teachers. The research was configured in accordance with phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 prospective teachers studying in 9 different departments at a state university during the 2025-2026 academic year. The data obtained from the prospective teachers were analyzed in line with the descriptive analysis method and organized into meaningful categories, sub-categories, and codes. The findings indicate that teacher influencers enhance educational practices by creating enjoyable, inspiring, and collaborative teaching and learning environments; however, they also constitute risks, particularly in self-interested purposes, reputational harms, and ethical boundary violations.</p
Comparison of Early Outcomes of Laparoscopic and Open Appendectomy
No full textIntroduction: There are numerous studies comparing the outcomes of open appendectomy (OA) and laparoscopicappendectomy (LA). However, the debate over which method is superior is still ongoing. This study aims to comparethe early outcomes and complications of laparoscopic and open appendectomy to determine the advantages anddisadvantages of each method. Materials ve Methods: In this study, the medical records of patients who underwentsurgery for acute appendicitis between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2025, were retrospectively reviewed. Patientswere divided into two groups based on whether they underwent laparoscopic or open appendectomy, and comparisonswere made regarding age, gender, and length of hospital stay. Postoperative complications, including pain, atelectasis,surgical site infection, bleeding, stump leakage, and intra-abdominal abscess formation, were identified and comparedbetween the groups. Results: A total of 179 patients were included in the study, with 64.2% being male and 35.8%female. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of atelectasis, surgical site infection, or intraabdominal abscess formation (p>0.05). However, postoperative pain and length of hospital stay were significantlyshorter in the laparoscopic group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The complication rates following laparoscopic and openappendectomy are similar. However, postoperative pain and hospital stay are shorter in patients undergoing laparoscopicappendectomy. Laparoscopic appendectomy is an effective and reliable method for treating acute appendicitis.</p
Nutrient status of Kırıkhan-Kumlu soils and their relationship with several soil properties
No full textIn this study, it was aimed to determine severalsoil properties and the fertility status of the soils in the Kırıkhan-Kumlu region of Hatay province. For this purpose, a total of 60 soil samples were taken from two depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) to represent the soils.According to the results of the research; In terms of lime, more than 83.33% of the soils were found to be moderately calcareous to very calcareous and 78.33% of the soils had low to moderate organic matter content;% total nitrogen (N) content of the soils 0.03-1.15 and available phosphorus (P) 0.17-0.38 mg kg-1; exchangeable potassium (K) 47.00-452.00 mg kg-1; exchangeable calcium (Ca) 2534-6282 mg kg-1; exchangeable magnesium (Mg) 737-2429 mg kg-1; available copper (Cu) 0.89-4.68 mg kg-1; iron (Fe) 4.04-13.09 mg kg-1; manganese (Mn) 3.10-21.41 mg kg-1 and zinc (Zn) 0.27-1.08 mg kg-1. In the research area, 5.00% of the soils contain very low and 33% very high total N. Very low levels of phosphorus were determined in all of the soils in the study area in terms of phosphorus content. In terms of exchangeable potassium content, 3.33% of the soils were very low, 30.00% were low, 16.67% were medium, 30.00% were high and 20.00% were very high. It was determined that most of the soils were insufficient in respect to available zinc. However, the soils were sufficient in respect to available Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Cu. In addition, negative significant relationships were found between the sand contents of the soils and the available P, Ca and Mg contents
TÜRKİYE’DE PLANLAMANIN EVRİMİ VE HAYVANCILIK SEKTÖRÜNDE PLANLAMALAR –ULAŞILAN HEDEFLER
No full text1929 Dünya Ekonomik Buhranı'nın ardından başlayan ve Sovyetler Birliği'nin etkisiyle şekillenen devlet müdahaleli sanayileşme süreçleri, Türkiye'nin planlama tarihinde önemli bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. İlk beş yıllık sanayi planlarıyla başlayan bu süreç, zaman içinde farklı planlama modelleriyle devam etmiştir. Özellikle 1960 yılında Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı'nın kurulmasıyla planlama daha sistemli bir hal almış, ekonomik ve sosyal kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmak için stratejik planlar geliştirilmiştir. Ancak, 1980'lerin başında yaşanan politik ve ekonomik krizler, planlama süreçlerinin değişimine neden olmuş ve piyasa ekonomisine geçiş süreci başlamıştır. Hayvancılık sektörüne gelindiğinde, Türkiye'nin coğrafi ve doğal kaynakları itibariyle büyük potansiyele sahip olduğu, ancak sektördeki sürdürülebilir politikalar ve yeterli destek mekanizmalarının olmaması, yüksek girdi maliyetleri ve pazar erişimindeki zorluklar nedeniyle bu potansiyelin tam olarak kullanılamadığı görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye'de planlamanın gelişiminin uzun bir süreci olduğunu ve bu planlamaların hayvancılık sektörü üzerine de yapıldığı, ancak hedeflenen başarıya tam olarak ulaşılamadığı, bu sebeple sektörde üretimde kendi kendine yeterliliği sağlamak, ulusal beslenmenin güvence altına alınması ve sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı sağlamak için yeni strateji/politikaların hayata geçirilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, Türkiye'de planlamanın evrimini incelemek ve özellikle hayvancılık sektörüne yönelik planlamaların tarihsel gelişimini detaylı bir şekilde analiz etmektir.The state-led industrialization processes, which began after the 1929 Great Depression and were shaped by the influence of the Soviet Union, marked a significant turning point in Türkiye's planning history. This process, which started with the first five-year industrial plans, continued over time with different planning models. The establishment of the State Planning Organization in 1960 made planning more systematic, developing strategic plans to achieve economic and social development goals. However, political and economic crises in the early 1980s led to changes in planning processes and started the transition to a market economy. As for the livestock sector, it is seen that Türkiye, with its geographical and natural resources, has great potential, but this potential could not be fully utilized due to productivity issues, lack of sufficient support mechanisms, high input costs, and difficulties in market access. In conclusion, it is understood that planning in Türkiye has a long evolution and that these plans have had significant effects on the livestock sector, but the targeted success has not been fully achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to implement new strategies and policies to increase the competitiveness of the sector and achieve sustainable development. The aim of this article is to examine the evolution of planning in Türkiye and to analyse in detail the historical development of planning especially for the livestock sector
Craniofacial changes of ancient populations lived in different eras in Anatolia
No full textThe aim of our study is to determine the changes in craniofacial dimensions among populations lived in Anatolia from different time periods. Eight skulls from the second century AD, 20 skulls were from the tenth-eleventh centuries AD, 20 skulls from the sixteenth-nineteenth centuries AD, and 60 contemporary skulls were included in this cross-sectional observational study. Using computerized tomography scans, five craniofacial dimensions were enrolled: glabella-occipital length (GOL), maximum width (MW), basion-bregma height (BBH), bizygomatic width (BZW), nasion-prosthion height (NPH). The differences of craniofacial dimensions between eras, the effect of sex and/or era on craniofacial dimensions were investigated. The GOL dimensions of the second century AD group were found to be significantly higher than contemporary skulls, and the tenth-eleventh century AD group were also found to be significantly higher than sixteenth-nineteenth century AD group and contemporary skulls (p < 0.001). NPH dimensions of tenth-eleventh century AD group were found to be significantly lower than contemporary group (p = 0.002). The main effect of sex, era, and sex-era interaction on GOL was found statistically significant (p = 0.004, p < 0.001, and p = 0.017, respectively). Only sex had a statistically significant effect on BZW (p < 0.001). Our study showed that GOL has decreased and NPH has increased over the centuries in Anatolian societies. Both sex and era influence the change of GOL
