Structural and electronic characterization of the precipitate phase in deformed Cu-13.81%Mn-3.78%Al alloy
No full textIn this paper, crystallographic, morphological, mechanical, thermomechanical, and electronic properties of Cu-13.81%Mn-3.78%Al (wt.%) alloy has been investigated under various conditions by distinct physical methods. Please check and confirm the edit made in the article title. As a result of surface and crystallographic investigations; precipitate phase is observed in the alloy. A Schottky diode based on Cu-Mn-Al alloy was fabricated. The electrical properties of the Schottky diode were investigated using transient photocurrent, photoconductivity and photocapacitance analysis. Electrical properties showed sensitivity to different illumination intensities and frequencies. The Schottky diode showed negative capacitance (N.C.) behavior at reverse bias. This behavior is due to the loss of interface charges.Amasya University for Scientific Research [FMB-BAP 22-0527, FMB-BAP 23-0590]The author kindly thanks Amasya University for Scientific Research Projects No's FMB-BAP 22-0527 and FMB-BAP 23-0590
Association between Increased Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio and Postoperative 1-Year Mortality in Elderly Patients with Pertrochanteric Hip Fracture
No full textPurpose: This study aimed to examine the prognostic value of perioperative NLR level in terms of mortality in the first postoperative year in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Materials and Methods: The study included 236 patients (68.6% female and 31.4% male) who met the specified criteria and had undergone hip fracture surgery. Complete blood counts were recorded at admission and on the fifth postoperative day. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR) at admission (NLR-D0) and on the fifth postoperative day (NLR-D5) were identified as the primary variables. Results: The mean age of the participants was 80.1±7.9 years (min: 65 years to max: 99 years). The mean NLR-D0 and mean NLR-D5 values of surviving patients were 6.54 and 4.55, respectively. The mean NLR-D0 and mean NLR-D5 values of patients who died were 6.99 and 8.90, respectively. A significant difference was found in the NLR variability of the patients who survived and those who died. The examination of the effects of NLR-D0 and NLR-D5 parameters on mortality revealed no significant difference in NLR-D0 values between the patients who lived and those who died (p>0.05), but the NLR-D5 value was significantly higher in the patients who died. The mortality rate at the end of the first postoperative year was 35.2%. Conclusion: A high NLR value (NLR-D5>7.85) on the fifth postoperative day in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery may be a predictor of 1-year mortality after hip fracture surgery
Psychological status and perceived social support of oncology nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textBACKGROUND: Oncology nurses play an important role in supporting cancer patients during the pandemic. The aim of the study is to determine the depression, anxiety and stress levels of oncology nurses and analyze the potential factors associated with them. METHODS: This cross-sectional research sample consisted of 363 oncology nurses. Data were collected using the Questionnaire Form, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze potential factors associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. RESULTS: Factors causing the most stress in oncology nurses were reported the fear of getting COVID-19 disease (81.21%), disruption of family order (61.04%), fear of transmitting COVID-19 to one of the family (56.35%), being assigned to different clinics due to pandemic (53.59%). In the regression model, being married (OR=3.46, 95% CI: 1.53 to 7.94) and having a chronic (OR=2.17, 95% CI: 1.11 to 4.25) illness were found to be independent risk factors associated with depression, and support form significant other was an independent protective factor for depression (OR=0.818 95% CI: 0.871 to 0.967). Three variables were associated with anxiety among oncology nurses (gender (OR=2.68, 95% CI: 1.38 to 5.19), marital status (OR=2.38, 95% CI: 1.10 to 5.14) and chronic disease (OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.01 to 3.42). CONCLUSIONS: In our study, anxiety and depression levels of oncology nurses were found to be moderate during the pandemic. It is recommended to support of oncology nurses by providing a supportive and safe working environment. © 2024 Edizioni Minerva Medica. All rights reserved

A new modelling approach for air transportation: A case study for total number of air passengers per month
No full textModeling the number of air passengers correctly is essential for management policy in the global world. Based on seasonality (depending on the season of the year), data about the number of air passengers are heteroscedastic. Heteroscedasticity violates Homoscedasticity which is one of the central assumptions of linear regression analysis. In this study, a new weighting approach called Weighting Absolute Centered External Variable (WCEV) is applied to the Turkish total monthly air passenger's data to obtain correct statistical inference and forecasting. Besides scatter plot months vs. studentized residuals, the homoscedasticity assumption is checked with the studentized RCEV test as well. Consequently, the WCEV method is shown superior performance against multiple linear regressions and exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) methods. The study also provides insights into the seasonal patterns of air passenger demand in Turkey, with passenger mobility increasing in the last quarter of each year and the lowest demand in January and February. This information can be used to optimize airport and airplane maintenance schedules and increase capacity during peak months
‘İslâm Artar, Eksilmez.’ Hadisi ile ‘İslâm Üstündür, Hiçbir Şey Ona Üstün Olamaz.’ Hadisinin İslâm Hukukundaki İzdüşümü
No full textBu makale bazı ulemânın, “İslâm artar, eksilmez.” hadisi ile “İslâm üstündür, hiçbir şey ona üstün olamaz.” hadisine dayanarak Müslümanların diğer inanç sahiplerine karşı nasıl üstün kılındıklarını ve lehine ne gibi kazançlar sağlandığını ele almaktadır. Bir kimsenin İslâm’ı kabul ettiğinde hangi konularda diğer din mensuplarına nazaran galip ve üstün kılındığını bilmesi ve ona göre hayatını tanzim etmesi araştırmanın önemini göstermektedir. Makalede ilgili konuların gün yüzüne çıkarılması ve insanların istifadesine sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan araştırmayla müslim-gayrimüslim cenazeleri karıştığında Müslümanın cenaze namazının kılınıp Müslüman mezarlığına defnedilebileceği, babası Ehl-i kitaptan, anası Ehl-i şirkten olursa bu ikisinden doğan çocuğun Müslüman sayıldığı, ölen akrabası farklı bir dine mensup olsa bile Müslümanın onun bıraktığı mirastan istifade edebileceği, haksızlığa uğramamak amaçlı dârulharpte faiz alışverişi yapabileceği, gayrimüslimlerin emri altında bazı şartlarla çalışabileceği, karar yetkisi tam ve siyasî tarafı ağır basan görevlere hassaten kendisinin atanabileceği, diğer din mensuplarını öldürdüğünde kısas cezası verilmediği ve can diyetinin onlarınkinden daha değerli olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır
Türk Hava Yolu Reklamlarında Çok-Düzlemli Metaforlar ve Metonimiler
No full textThis study aims to investigate verbal and pictorial metaphors as a kind of multimodal metaphor within the frame of cognitive linguistics (Forceville, 1996). For this purpose, a micro analysis of three advertisement posters of Turkish Airlines addressed to international passengers was carried out. The verbal and visual texts on the posters were examined within the multimodal metaphor analysis framework proposed by Forceville (1996, 2009) and developed by Pérez Sobrino (2017), and how the cognitive mechanisms in the posters reached the pragmatic effect was discussed. The findings of the study showed that the examined posters were designed in a way that emphasized the service quality of the company, highlighted the concepts of modernization and globalization, and activated the senses and emotions of the passengers through several conceptual metaphors and metonymies. © 2024, Dilbilim Dernegi.

Relationship of atherogenic index of plasma with exercise, obesity and biochemical parameters
No full textAims: It is well-known that regular moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has positive effects on various health indicators, including obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is defined as a highly sensitive predictor of plasma atherogenicity and cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, it is known that physical activity has a reducing effect on AIP with its ability to decrease visceral fat and its positive impact on blood lipids. Additionally, large-scale AIP screenings are recommended for the early detection of obese individuals and effective intervention. This study aims to determine the relationship between regular exercise and cardiometabolic parameters and obesity based on current data. Methods: The study involved a total of 126 participants aged 18-65 and it was conducted in the form of file screening, where the medical history reports of all patients were examined, and systemic physical findings were assessed. Fasting blood samples were used to determine the lipid profile. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters of the participants were determined and AIP was calculated using the formula AIP=log10 (TG/HDL-C). Participants were categorized into groups based on their exercise status, BMI, and AIP risks, and the data of the study groups were evaluated statistically. Results: Participants were divided into two groups based on exercise status, and in the exercise group, body mass index (BMI), body weight, waist circumference, AIP, and triglyceride levels were found to be lower, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were higher compared to the non-exercise group. In all participants, moderate-intensity exercise was negatively correlated with AIP, body weight, BMI, waist circumference, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels; and positively correlated with HDL levels. Conclusion: The relationships uncovered in this study among exercise, cardiometabolic parameters, and obesity status are expected to contribute to future research, especially in studies focusing on the impact of exercise on CVD and obesity
