Conduct Disorder: An Update
Get PDFConduct disorder is a serious mental disorder with a heterogeneous etiology that is frequently encountered in child and adolescent psychiatric clinics, although there are social and international differences. Conduct disorder can be defined as violating the basic rights of others, age-appropriate social norms and values, or existing rules with consistently aggressive behavioral patterns. It has been defined under various headings since DSM-II and most recently in DSM-5 under the heading "Disruptive Disorders, Impulse Control and Conduct Disorders". Genetic, individual, and psychosocial factors play a role in the etiology and constitute a broad etiology. Although its onset dates to childhood, if assistance is not sought, it can lead to more serious mental disorders. Conduct disorders are associated with several mental disorders. Therefore, a differential diagnosis should be made and an effective treatment option should be established. No specific medications were available for treatment. Different disciplines can collaborate for a long time to achieve successful results. In this article, the definition of conduct disorder, DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, etiology, comorbidity, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment approaches are reviewed

Ortadoğu ve Afro-Amerikan edebiyatında yersiz yurtsuzlaştırma kavramına ekofeminist bir yaklaşım
Get PDFÇalışmanın temel amacı Fadia Faqir'in The Cry of the Dove ve Zora Neale Hurston'ın Their Eyes Were Watching God kitaplarındaki ekofeminist bakış açısını incelemek ve Deleuze ve Guattari'nin yersiz yurtsuzlaştırma kavramıyla ekofeminizme yeni bir bakış açısı sunmaktır. Bu çerçevede, kitaplar; karakterler, karakterlerin toplumla olan ilişkisi ve doğanın buradaki rolüne dayanarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada eko feminizm ve yersiz yurtsuzlaştırmanın tanımı ile kitapların ekofeminizm açısından incelenmesi yer almaktadır. İlk olarak, ekofeminizmin tarihsel bağlamı; küreselleşme, kapitalizm, şarkiyatçılık, sömürgecilik ve sömürgecilik sonrasıyla ilişkilendirilerek açıklanmaktadır. Daha sonra, ekofeminizm; yersiz yurtsuzlaştırma, arzu makineleri, organsız beden ve rızam kavramları çevresinde Deleuze ve Guattari'nin felsefesiyle yeniden irdelenmektedir. Son olarak, kitaplar bu çerçevede analiz edilip yersiz yurtsuzlaştırma ile ekofeminizm için yeni bir bakış açısı sunulmaktadır.The main purpose of this study is to examine ecofeminist aspect in Fadia Faqir's The Cry of the Dove and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and to provide a new perspective to ecofeminism through Deleuze and Guattari's concept of deterritorialization. Within this framework, the books are analyzed based on the characters, their relation with the society and the role of nature. The study consists of the definition of ecofeminism and deterritorialization and the analyzing of the books through ecofeminism. First of all, the historical context of ecofeminism is explained in association with globalism, capitalism, orientalism, colonialism and post-colonialism. Then, ecofeminism is reevaluated with Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy evolving around deterritorialization, desiring-machines, body without organs, and rhizome. Lastly, the books are analyzed within this framework and a new lens is provided with deterritorialization for ecofeminism

A metaheuristic-based method for analysis of tensegrity structures
Get PDFTensegrity systems are construction system that offers solutions for lighter designs compared with a standard truss system consisting of tension and compression elements. Due to their structure, they are recommended in the design of space structures due to the use of lighter and easy-to-assemble structural elements such as cables, ropes, and similar to provide the desired durability. In this study, energy minimization was carried out to solve the structural element displacements. It is expected to reduce the total potential energy of the system with minimization. By minimizing the total potential energy of the tensegrity system models, the displacement of each building element is found for the equilibrium condition. Tensegrity models were analyzed by minimizing energy via the adaptive harmony search (AHS) algorithm. In this research, two distinct tensegrity structure specimens were employed. One comprised a cantilever beam, while the other adopted a cyclic model, forming eight equal octagons from eight nodes at both the base and the top. Additionally, an examination was conducted on a two-layer iteration of the cyclic model. The method is robust for both space and planar tensegrity structures, allowing the determination of deformed shapes under various loads without design assumptions. The TPO/MA method demonstrates superiority in handling nonlinear and barely stable systems, as evidenced by examples illustrating its efficacy in maintaining structural form under increasing loads and challenging conditions
The limits of the employer's right of termination with the principle of proportionality under the Labor Law no. 4857
Get PDFTemel hak ve özgürlüklerin sınırlandırılmasının sınırını teşkil eden ölçülülük ilkesi, öncelikle bireyi kendinden daha güçlü konumdaki devlete karşı korumak amacıyla hukuk sistemlerinin içine girmiş; zamanla kendisine, bir tarafın diğerinden daha güçlü olduğu bireyler arasındaki özel hukuk ilişkilerinde de uygulama alanı bulmuştur. İş sözleşmelerinin yapısı gereği bir tarafının daha güçlü konumda olduğu açıktır. Bu yüzden iş sözleşmeleri kapsamında ölçülülük ilkesi, tarafların çatışan menfaatleri arasında adil bir denge kurabilmek için önemli bir işleve sahiptir. İşçi ve işveren arasındaki menfaat çatışmasının en kritik ve kaçınılmaz olduğu alan sözleşmenin, güçlü olan taraf yani işverence feshedildiği andır. Bu sebeple işverenin sözleşme özgürlüğünden kaynaklanan fesih hakkı, işçinin çalışma hakkı karşısında sınırlanmaktadır. Fakat bu sınırlama yapılırken -her temel hak ve özgürlüğün sınırlamasında ölçülülük ilkesi uyarınca yapılması gerektiği gibi- çatışan hakların ikisinin de tamamen kullanılamaz hale getirilmesinden kaçınılması gerekmektedir.The principle of proportionality, which constitutes the limit of the limitation of fundamental rights and freedoms, was first introduced into legal systems in order to protect the individual against the state, which is in a stronger position than the individual, and over time, it has also found application in private law relations between individuals where one party is stronger than the other. Due to the nature of employment contracts. it is clear that one party is in a stronger position. Therefore, the principle of proportionality in the context of employment contracts has an important function in order to establish a fair balance between the conflicting interests of the parties. The most critical and inevitable conflict of interest between the employee and the employer is when the contract is terminated by the stronger party, in other words the employer. For this reason, the employer's right of termination arising from the freedom of contract is limited against the employee's right to work. However, while making this limitation -as it must be done in accordance with the principle of proportionality in the limitation of all fundamental rights and freedoms- it is necessary to avoid rendering both of the conflicting rights completely unusabl

Spatial Continuum in History: Pier Buildings on the Bosphorus and Golden Horn, Istanbul
Get PDFPier buildings along the coastline of Istanbul City, an ancient city surrounded by the sea on three sides, serve not only as vital transportation nodes but also as hubs for cultural and social life. As an embodiment of their respective topography and culture with distinctive characteristics in terms of location and architecture, the historical pier buildings are incorporated into the social, cultural, and historical fabric of the city. It is important to protect and preserve these buildings and develop sustainable tourism policies for sustainable cultural heritage management. Accordingly, the present study investigated 36 pier buildings in Istanbul using a comprehensive map analysis and on-site discovery. The study results suggested that these buildings preserved their authentic identities and spatial continuum, despite several renovations over time. Today, some of the pier buildings in Istanbul have additional functions, including serving as cafes, libraries, and sightseeing spots along with their transportation functions, contributing to the reinforcement of social interaction and social ties. The study results helped suggest key inferences on how these buildings should be preserved and carried into the future in the scope of urban planning
The Effects of Robot-Asssissted Gait Training on Balance and Fear of Falling in Patients with Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Get PDFObjective The aim of this study was compare the effects of Combined Training (CombT), which included Robot-Assisted Gait Training in addition to Traditional Balance Training (TBT), and TBT alone on balance and fear of falling (FoF) in patients with stroke based on objective assessment methods. Design Patients were randomized into CombT Group (CombTG) (n = 21) and TBT Group (TBTG) (n = 21) for duration of 5-weeks. Balance were assessed with EncephaLog App recorded stand-up time (SUT), sit-down time (SDT), and directional sways during walking, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). International Fall Efficacy Scale (FES-I) measured fear of falling (FoF). Fugl Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) assessed limb impairment. Foot posture were assessed with Foot Posture Index (FPI-6). Results After the treatments, EncephaLog sways (anterior, medial, lateral: P = 0.04, P = 0.01, P = 0.02), SUT (P = 0.006), SDT (P = 0.002); BBS (P < 0.001); FES-I (P = 0.002) improved in CombTG. TUG (P = 0.01) and FMA-LE (P < 0.001) improved in TBTG. SUT (P = 0.01) and SDT (P = 0.04) showed statistically significant improvement in CombTG compared to TBTG; FMA-LE (P = 0.002) demonstrated statistically significant improvement in TBTG compared to CombTG. Conclusion Objective assessment indicated that combined treatments in subacute and chronic stroke rehabilitation enhance balance and reduce FoF more effectively than isolated approaches. © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
