    Mustafa Balel (1945- ) 1972'de Yeni Ortam'da başlayıp günümüze uzanan yazarlık hayatında toplumsal gerçekleri konu etmesi ve ayrıntıları sivriltmesi ile döneminin yazarlarından ayrılır. Sanat hayatı boyunca başta öykü olmak üzere roman, anlatı, gezi yazısı ve çocuk edebiyatı alanlarında eserler vermiştir. Balel, toplumdaki yapıyı eserlerinde okura sunmuştur. Bu bağlamda yazar, Türk toplumunun sanıldığı gibi ataerkil değil anaerkil bir yapıda olduğu görüşünü savunmaktadır. Bu durum eserlerinde baskın kadın tiplerini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Yazarlık hayatı boyunca hiçbir zaman realizmden kopmayan Balel, yaşamın kendisini eserlerine taşımıştır. Bunu yaparken de gerçekleri olduğu gibi söyleyen çocuk anlatıcılardan yararlanmıştır. Toplumdaki sosyoekonomik yapıya dayanan sınıf ayrımını eserlerinde vurgulayan yazar, toplumsal gerçekçi bir çizgiye sahiptir. Daha çok aile, şiddet, kadın hâkimiyeti, yalnızlık ve göç temalarını konu etmiştir. Ele aldığı toplumsal konulara paralel olarak dilde de halktan kopuk bir tutum izlemeyen Balel, daha çok halkın yöresel söyleminde yer edinen deyim ve atasözlerinden faydalanmıştır. Bu karakteristik özellikleri farklı edebî türlerde kaleme aldığı eserlerinin tamamında görülür.Mustafa Balel (1945- ) whose career as a novelist started with Yeni Ortam (New Circumstances) in 1972 and pursued up to now is distinguished from his contemporaries as depicted social realities and sharpened details. During his art career, he produced novels, stories, narration, itineraries and works in children?s literature. Balel has presented the social structure to readers. In this context, the author argues that Turkish society is not a patriarchal as supposed but matriarchal. This case has lead to dominant women characters in his works. Balel, who have always stuck to realism, reflected his own life in his works. While doing this, he made use of children narrators who tell the truth as it is. The author who emphasizes social stratification in his works which is based on socioeconomic structure follows a social realistic line. In his works, he mostly treated family, violence, women dominancy, loneliness and immigration. In parallel with social issues he handled, Balel used idioms and proverbs established in people?s local language and thus did not have a language style different from people. This characteristic is seen in all his works in different literature genres

    No full text
    This study aims to determine the use of interactional metadiscourse in articles from the domains of Turkish language and literature. The study employed a descriptive research model to examine 20 articles from the Mustafa Kemal University Journal of Social Sciences Institute (all articles were published between 2010 and 2015 and each has only a single author). Of these randomly selected articles, 10 were on Turkish language education and 10 were concerned with Turkish literature. Hyland and Tse's metadiscourse model was adopted to examine markers of interactional metadiscourse in all fundamental parts of these articles. For the evaluation of the obtained data, the content analysis technique and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to determine whether the interactional metadiscourse demonstrates any significant differences regarding the domains of Turkish language education and literature. Experts were consulted to ensure the reliability of the research. As a result, this study revealed that there is more use of interactional metadiscourse markers in the field of Turkish language education than in the field of literature, and this difference is significant, according to the Mann-Whitney U test. Further, it was found that hedges and boosters demonstrate a significant difference in studies on Turkish language education and literature; however, no significant difference in the uses of attitude markers, engagement markers, and self-mentions was observed.This study aims to determine the use of interactional metadiscourse in articles from the domains of Turkish language and literature.

Selim’in cülûsunu anlatmaktadır. Tarih bakımından ehemmiyeti olan bu eserin, edebi yönden de büyük kıymet iktiza ettiğini söylemek gerekir. Çünkü eseri incelerken olaylardan fazla olayların aktarılışının ön planda olduğunu görmek mümkün. Bilinen birçok şeyin edebi bir dille, özen ve itina ile anlatıldığı hem edebi hem de tarihi yönden birçok kıymete haiz bu eser, H.980 (14 Mayıs 1572-2 Mayıs 1573) tarihinde Mustafa Âlî tarafından kaleme alınmış ve Sadrazam Sokollu Mehmed Paşa’ya sunulmuştur.

    Socioeconomic indicators are strong predictors of hepatitis A seroprevalence rates in the Middle East and North Africa

    The goal of this analysis was to examine the association between age-specific hepatitis A virus (HAV) seroprevalence rates and various socioeconomic indicators within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We conducted a systematic review of all recently published studies on HAV conducted in the MENA region and identified the highest quality studies for inclusion in our analysis. We calculated the age at midpoint of population immunity (AMPI) for each study and estimated seroprevalence rates at the ages of 5, 10, and 15 years. Next, we identified the correlations between these metrics and several socioeconomic variables. HAV data collected in or after 2000 were available for 14 of the 19 countries in the MENA region. Four of the 14 included countries had intermediate HAV endemicity (Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and UAE), five had high endemicity (Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia), and five had very high endemicity (Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen). Water and sanitation were not significant predictors of AMPI or seroprevalence, most likely because most countries in this region have high rates of access to these utilities. However, gross domestic product (GDP), gross national income (GNI), and the human development index (HDI) were all highly associated with AMPI and prevalence. The observed correlations suggest that of the MENA countries without recent HAV data, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar most likely have low endemicity, Oman likely has intermediate endemicity, and Libya likely has high endemicity. While it is unlikely that a single correlation model would be suitable for use in all world regions, the approach utilized in this analysis might provide a simple but accurate method for using economic data to impute the endemicity profiles of countries without recent data in regions where at least several neighboring countries have conducted recent serostudies.

    Kahraman Kilbas, Elmas Pinar/0000-0003-1348-625X; Altindis, Mustafa/0000-0003-0411-9669The aim of this study is to analyze the available information on the use of probiotics containing different microorganisms, singly or in combination, in order to investigate the effect of probiotics on the treatment, prophylaxis and microbiota of various diseases. In addition to Pubmed, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL, AMED, Turkish Medline electronic da- tabases, the gray literature was searched to cover the years 2004-2021. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) included in the specified selection criteria were brought together. RCTs were evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Of the 32 RCTs included in total, only yeast (Saccharomyces spp.) was administered in fourteen, only Lactobacillus spp. in six, Bifidobacterium spp. only in four, and probiotic supplementation containing more than one bacterial strain in six. Only 10/32 of the included studies fully reported the probiotic strain, and 22/32 reported only at the species level. In all nine studies using probiotics for the treatment of diarrhea, probiotics were reported to shorten the duration of diarrhea and length of hospital stay. Four of the five studies reporting the use of probiotics in the treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis reported that probiotics were not effective in reducing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, but could improve nutritional tolerance. In two of the four RCTs investigating the use of probiotics in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infec- tion, it was stated that the side effects associated with eradication therapy decreased. In both studies conducted for prophylaxis, it was reported that probiotics prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea. This study shows that probiotics have positive results for the treatment indications and prophylaxis of various diseases. For the sustainability of these health benefits and the safe administration of probiotics, more research is needed that includes strain information and side effect reports.Emerging Sources Citation Inde

    Exponential developments of both Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) 3R ve 36R and methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) 27S were evaluated in the presence and absence of oxacillin. The strains were isolated from the specimens collected in microbiology department. It was also determined the transfer of mecA gene from 3R to 27S strain by using the replica plate technique. It was observed that the presence of antibiotics in the preliminary culture had a positive impact on the growth of the secondary culture of MRSA isolates. Comparison results of Rt bacteria in three different mixed cultures, assessed with Tukey's HSD test, showed a significant statistical difference among the groups. The values were as following; on the first day; Df: 2, F: 60.90, P: 0.0001, second day; Df:2, F:90.56, P: 0.0000, and third day; Df:2, F:4.86, P:0.0557. As a result of the study, we can suggest that the gene expression levels of the transferred antibiotic resistance genes could help us in both controlling hospital originated sickness and developing new strategies to prevent the spread of resistant bacteria.

    A Diagnostic Algorithm for the Detection of Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea

    No full text
    Conclusion: Tests targeting C. difficile toxins are frequently applied for the purpose of diagnosing CDI in a clinical setting. However, changes in the temperature and reductant composition of the feces may affect toxin stability, potentially yielding false-negative test results. Therefore, employment of a GDH EIA, which has high sensitivity, as a screening test for the detection of toxigenic strains, may prevent false-negative results, and its adoption as part of a multistep diagnostic algorithm may increase accuracy in the diagnosis of CDIs
