A familial Xp+ chromosome detected during fetal karyotyping, which is associated with short stature in four generations of a Turkish family.
No full textThe short-stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) on chromosome Xp22.3 was recently identified as an important determinant of the stature phenotype. Deletions of the SHOX gene, some of them due to structural chromosome abnormalities, have been described in patients with idiopathic short stature and Leri-Weill syndrome. Additionally, haploinsufficiency of SHOX is a main cause for short stature seen in patients with Turner syndrome

Beyond the genetic code in leaf senescence
No full textLeaf senescence is not only genetically programmed but also induced by exogenous stress to ensure completion of the plant life cycle, successful reproduction and environmental adaptability. Genetic reprogramming is a major aspect of leaf senescence, and the senescence signaling that follows is controlled by a complex regulatory network. Recent studies suggest that the activity of transcription factors together with epigenetic mechanisms ensures the robustness of this network, with the latter including chromatin remodeling, DNA modification, and RNA-mediated control of transcription factors and other senescence-associated genes. In this review, we provide an overview of the relevant epigenetic mechanisms and summarize recent findings of epigenetic regulators of plant leaf senescence involved in DNA methylation and histone modification along with the functions of small RNAs in this process

A general view of poverty in Turkey as an issue for social work in the light of behavioral finance and game theory
No full text#nofulltext# --- Cesur Kılıçaslan, Seher (Arel Author)In this chapter, the authors define poverty in general terms before including statistics for a detailed, Turkey-Specific discussion. Once the authors elaborate on the causes of poverty, they introduce behavioural economics and game theory, the fundamental aim of the chapter being to examine how these two theories affect perceptions of poverty and the struggle against poverty. Another issue that enters into the scope of this chapter is to what extent the poor themselves are responsible for their own poverty. On this question, game theory and behavioural economics can potentially be marshalled against the poor. However, we also argue that, by using a different approach, both theories can be interpreted in the poor's favour. We examine the Double-Sided nature of these two theories in detail and stress how important it is in the study of poverty to consider the disadvantageous position in which the poor find themselves. © 2015, IGI Global.

The results of cytogenetic analysis with regard to intracytoplasmic sperm injection in males, females and fetuses
No full textObjectives: To determine the incidence of chromosome abnormalities among couples for whom intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment was indicated and fetuses conceived through the ICSI procedure. Methods: All cytogenetic results were evaluated retrospectively. Patients undergoing ICSI (n = 508) were classified according to the referring indications as: (1) males with severe infertility ( 87 azoospermia and 34 oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, OAT), (2) prior to ICSI (56 males and 61 females), and (3) following an unsuccessful ICSI procedure ( 132 males and 138 females). Fetuses conceived through ICSI (n = 475) were also classified into 4 groups according to the additional risk factors for chromosome abnormalities: ICSI (n = 185), ICSI + advanced maternal age (AMA, n = 215), ICSI + positive triple test result (TT, n = 50), and ICSI + abnormal ultrasound findings (USG, n = 25). Results: An abnormal karyotype was found in 31.03% of males with azoospermia and 14.71% of males with OAT, in 3.57% of males and 1.64% of females in the group prior to ICSI, and in 5.30 and 5.07%, respectively, in the group following unsuccessful ICSI treatment. Gonosomal aneuploidies were predominant in males with azoospermia and autosomal rearrangements in males with OAT, while low-level sex chromosome mosaicism was found in females. The overall frequency of chromosome abnormalities in fetuses was 4.42% and varied in the different groups from 1.62% in ICSI, 2.79% in ICSI + AMA, 10.0% in ICSI + TT to 28.0% in ICSI + USG. The frequencies of the different types of chromosome abnormalities were as follows: balanced 1.05%, unbalanced 3.37%, familial 0.84%, de novo 3.37%, autosomal 3.58%, gonosomal 0.84%, numerical 1.89%, structural abnormalities 2.53%, and mosaicism 1.26%. Conclusion: Our results indicate that cytogenetic investigations of the ICSI parents and fetuses are essential for the families, genetic counselors and also reproductive centers. In fetal karyotyping, de novo structural chromosome abnormalities and mosaicism should be taken into consideration. Copyright (C) 2004 S. Karger AG, Basel
Unfinished nursing care occurrence, priority order and reasons as perceived by nursing students: An international study
No full textAim The study aimed to measure and compare differences (a) in the unfinished nursing care interventions overall and the order in which they are left unfinished; and (b) in the underline reasons, as perceived by Italian, Slovak and Turkish nursing students. Background In recent years, in the nursing education context a novel line of research in the field of unfinished nursing care as those interventions required by patients, but omitted or delayed, has emerged. However, no studies have been conducted at the international level. Design An international, comparative cross-sectional study was performed in 2022-2023 and reported here according to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. Methods A multinational research network was formed with a convenient sample of 13 universities and 60 campuses (4595 students). The Unfinished Nursing Care Survey for Students (UNCS4S) was administered. A total of 1850 students participated. Results According to the UNCS4S total score, Italians reported an average 50.9 out of 110 unfinished nursing care interventions (CI95 % 47.6-54.1), Slovakians 54.9 (CI95 % 53.7-56.1) and Turkish students 50.4 (CI95 % 49.2-51.5) (p<0.001). Some interventions were reported more often as unfinished across countries as supervising the task assigned to the nursing aides, going to the patient without being called, spending the required time with the patient and their caregivers and emotionally supporting patients and their caregivers. In terms of reasons, total scores were statistically different across countries (Italy: 45.92 out of 90, CI95 % 43.91-47.9; Slovakia: 62, CI95 % 61.02-62.98; T & uuml;rkiye: 72.29, CI95 % 71.13-73.45; p<0.001); however, at the factor level, communication issues, lack of material resources and issues in supervision of nursing aides were reported in all countries as the most important reasons of the unfinished nursing care. Conclusions Students learn to shape and set priorities early in their nursing careers with similar order in what to leave unfinished as first, despite the different educational structures, care cultures and healthcare systems. Among the unfinished nursing care reasons perceived, the most influential were similar across countries, suggesting common areas for improvement. How to better prepare students to be resilient and capable of managing the challenges posed by unfinished nursing care episodes due to the lack of resources and communications issues should be considered as a priority by nurse educators
Hemşirelik Öğrencileri Finansal Okuryazarlıkta Sağlık Alanında Lisans Eğitimi Alan Öğrencilere Göre Nerede?
No full textAmaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik lisans eğitimi alan öğrencilerin diğer sağlık bölümü (ebelik, ergoterapi ve fizyoterapi) öğrencilerine göre finansal okuryazarlık düzeylerinin incelenmesi ve öğrencilerin finansal okuryazarlık düzeylerini etkileyen etmenlerin araştırılması amacıyla tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel tasarımda yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini, Türkiye'de sağlık alanında lisans eğitimi alan toplam 369 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin %59,6’sı hemşirelik, %19,5’i ebelik, %11,9’u ergoterapi ve %9,0’ı fizyoterapi bölümlerinde öğrenim görmektedir. Veriler Google Form aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Veri toplama araçları, ‘Öğrenci Bilgi Formu ve Finansal Okuryazarlık Davranış ve Tutum Ölçeği’ oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde; ikiden fazla bağımsız grup arasında fark olup olmadığını incelemek için tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), grup puanlarını karşılaştırmak için t testi, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için korelasyon analizi ve örneklem gücünü hesaplamak için G-Power programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bütün öğrencilerin Finansal Okuryazarlık Davranış ve Tutum Ölçeği puanı 3,39 (SS=0,50) iken hemşirelik öğrencilerinin puan ortalaması ise 3,51 (SS=0,49) bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin finansal okuryazarlık puanı ile sınıf, cinsiyet, istihdam ve bölüm değişkenleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur (p<.05). Hemşirelik ve ergoterapi öğrencilerinin finansal okuryazarlıkları ebelik bölümünden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek saptanmıştır (p<.05). Öğrencilerin %4,9'u finansal okuryazarlık dersi aldığını ve %71,8'i sağlık ekonomisi dersi almak istediğini belirtmiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin finansal okuryazarlık düzeyleri diğer bölümlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuş olup ortalamanın üstündedir. Genel olarak sağlık bölümündeki öğrencilerin finansal okuryazarlık düzeylerinin ise ortalamanın biraz üstünde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelik ve diğer sağlık bölümü lisans öğrencilerinin finansal okuryazarlıklarının gelişimi için öğrencilerin eğitiminde bu alanlardaki yeterlik gelişimine odaklanılabilir.Aim: This study was conducted with a descriptive-correlational design in order to examine the financial literacy levels of nursing undergraduate students compared to other healthcare students (midwifery, occupational therapy and physiotherapy) and to investigate the factors affecting the financial literacy levels of the students. Method: The sample of the study consisted of 369 students receiving undergraduate education in the field of health in Türkiye. 59.6% of the students are nursing, 19.5% midwifery, 11.9% occupational therapy and 9.0% physiotherapy students. Data were collected via Google Form. Data were collected using Student Information Form and Financial Literacy Behavior and Attitude Scale. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze whether there was a difference between more than two independent groups, t test was used to compare group scores, correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between variables, and G-Power program was used to calculate the sampling power. Results: While the Financial Literacy Behavior and Attitude Scale score of all students was 3.39 (SD=0.50), the mean score of nursing students was 3.51 (SD=0.49). A statistically significant relationship was found between the financial literacy score of the students and the variables of class, gender, employment and department (p<.05). The financial literacy score of the nursing department was statistically significantly higher than the midwifery department, and the financial literacy score of the occupational therapy department was statistically significantly higher than the midwifery department (p<.05). 4.9% of the students had taken a course on financial literacy, and 71.8% stated that they wanted to take a health economics course. Conclusion: The financial literacy levels of nursing students were found to be higher than those in other departments and were at a over moderate level. In general, the financial literacy levels of students in the health department were found to be a little more than medium. In order to improve the financial literacy of nursing and other health department undergraduate students, the education of students can focus on the development of competence in these areas
