Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity in Turkey
No full textAbstractObesity is a major public health problem affecting an important proportion of the Turkish population. The prevalence of obesity has significantly increased among adult Turkish population over the past 20years. In 1990, 18.8% of the adult population was obese (28.5% among women and 9% among men), and the prevalence increased to 36% in 2010 (44% among women and 27% among men). From the data, we found that the prevalence of obesity in Turkey has increased steadily from 1990 to 2010 in both genders. Adult obesity-associated risk factors are age, gender, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, high household income, low education level and physical activity, occupation, marital status and a family of selected medical conditions (e.g. obesity, diabetes and hypertension). To control obesity, necessary precautions should urgently be taken. The precautions include serious public health education encouraging a well-balanced diet and increasing physical activity

Diagnostic value of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and free prostate specific antigen (fPSA) in women with ovulatory and anovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome
No full textDiagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is very difficult in women with ovulatory cycles. We assessed the diagnostic value of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) in women with ovulatory or anovulatory PCOS. Study group consisted of 62 women with PCOS and 35 healthy female controls. PCOS group was divided into two subgroups as anovulatory (n = 42; 68%, Group A) and ovulatory group (n = 20; 32%, Group B). A cut-off level of PSA and fPSA was established for the sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, area under curve, diagnostic accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values of diagnosis of PCOS. In group A, a PSA level of greater than 10 pg/ml yielded a sensitivity of 73.2%, a specificity of 80%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 73%, with a positive predictive value of 88.2% and a negative predictive value of 59.3%. An fPSA level of greater than 2.1 pg/ml yielded a sensitivity of 71.2%, a specificity of 80.4%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 87%, with a positive predictive value of 87.2% and a negative predictive value of 58.4%. In group B, a PSA level of greater than 10 pg/ml yielded a sensitivity of 65%, a specificity of 80%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 73%, with a positive predictive value of 76.5% and a negative predictive value of 69.6%. An fPSA level of greater than 2.1 pg/ml yielded a sensitivity of 65.4%, a specificity of 80.4%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 87%, with a positive predictive value of 75.5% and a negative predictive value of 68.4%. Circulating androgens and hirsutism are independently associated with the degrees of PSA and fPSA in PCOS women. Increased plasma levels of PSA (> 10 pg/ml) and fPSA (> 2.1 pg/ml) could be helpful as a diagnostic tool for women with ovulatory or anovulatory PCOS
Cross country stock market comovement: A macro perspective
No full textince the 1990s, there has been a simultaneous rise in cross-country stock market correlations and FDI positions. We establish an empirical relationship between these two, for pairs of developed economies that survives controlling for relevant factors. At firm level, we find that stock returns of multinationals that invest in technology capital are more correlated with world stock markets. Using a calibrated two-country asset pricing model with multinationals, we find that the increase in FDI accounts for one third of the rise in the observed stock market correlations. When allowing for increases in trade and portfolio diversification, we find that these two factors do not generate an increase in stock market correlations. © 2022 The Author(s

No full textThe Republic of Azerbaijan, as the largest nation state in the South Caucasus Region, has the potential for developing and using renewable sources of energy in order to support the environmental challenge resolution associated with climate change, improving the environmental situation in the country. Solar photovoltaic (PV) comprises one of the direct usages of solar energy. In this paper, a sustainable PV usage scenario in residential houses was introduced to reduce negative environmental effects in land use, water consumption, air pollution, etc. It was recommended by the author that PV systems can be part of function and design of residential building components, such as roofs, walls and windows.

No full textBu çalışma ile Ocak, Nisan, Temmuz ve Ekim aylarında olmak üzere yılda dört defa yayınlanmakta olan Muhasebe ve Finansman Dergisinde 2005- 2013 yılları arasında basılmış makalelerin bibliyometrik özellikleri kapsamında incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden bibliyometrik atıf analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bibliyometrik özellikler çerçevesinde değerlendirmeye alınan toplamda 562 makalenin analize tabi tutulduğu çalışmanın neticesinde finansal performans, kamu ekonomisi ve finansal piyasalar konularına ağırlık verildiği görülmüştür. En fazla yayın yapan kurumlar arasında Marmara, Trakya ve İstanbul Üniversiteleri yer alırken, toplamda 112 kurum katkıda bulunmuştur. Atıf yapılan kaynaklara bakıldığında; ilk sırada dergiler, ikinci sırada diğer kaynaklar, üçüncü sırada kitaplar ve son sırada ise bildirilerin yer a ldığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Muhasebe ve Finans Dergisine toplamda 250 atıf yapılmış, öz atıf sayılarının ise 224 olduğu görülmüştür. Çok yazarlılık durumlarına bakıldığında ise genellikle bireysel çalışmalara yer verildiği sonucu elde edilmiştir.This study evaluates the Journal of Accounting and Finance published four times a year in terms of the bibliometric characteristics and for this purpose, 562 articles published in the so -called journal between the years 2005- 2013 have been analyzed. In the study, bibliometric citation analysis technique one of the qualitative research methods has been used. As a result of the study; it has been seen that financial performance, public finance and financial markets are the most common subjects of the articles. Marmara, Trakya and Istanbul Universities are the institutions having most articles and totally 112 institutions make contribution to the so - called journal.
