Airplane Landing Accident: How Safe Is Use of Passenger Lap Seat Belts in Aircrafts?
No full textBACKGROUND: Seat belts are considered the reason for seat belt syndrome, which mainly occurs during rapid deceleration in motor vehicle accidents. Seat belt syndrome is characterized by contusion of the front torso, intrathoracic or intraabdominal organ injuries, and spinal thoracic or lumbar chance fractures. CASE DESCRIPTION: This case study presents a 21-year-old female who was injured by a lap-type seat belt and diagnosed with seat belt syndrome after an airplane landing accident. She underwent surgery for lumbar chance fracture and abdominal injury. We discussed the possible harmful effects of lap seat belts in passenger seats on airplanes. CONCLUSIONS: While an airplane is in a flying position, a lap seat belt functions to protect the passenger from any turbulence. However, during the landing or take-off phase, it may not be enough to fully protect the passenger, especially during sudden deceleration accidents, which cause seat belt injuries and head traumas. Therefore the unique design of a double functional passenger seat belt harness, along with a 3- or 4-point buckle protruding from the shoulder, can serve as a more favorable protective measure in limiting the severity of injury a passenger receives. After the plane has taken off, the diagonal seat belt can then be unlocked, leaving the lap seat belt to remain firmly in place and secured

Get PDFOn this research, it is aimed to determine the teachers’ level of obeying the ethical rules and find out about the relationship between instructors’ ethical values and various variables. Research, in which scanning method is used, is performed with 182 learners on 2015-2016 educational year. For data collection, “Teacher Ethical Value Scale according to Students Perception”, which is developed and tested for reliability by Gunduz and Coskun (2012). On statistical evaluation of gathered values, independent t-test, Mann Whitney u test and correlation matrix is used. On the other hand, values are evaluated on 0.01 and 0.05 meaningfulness level and their percentage, frequency, average and standard deviation values are also analysed. On the research, it is determined that class level and school type variables are effective ones on teachers’ ethical standard of judgement. Yet, it is seen that there is no meaningful difference on gender variable
Análisis comparativo de dos historias de amor: los amantes de Teruel y Ferhat i̇le Şi̇ri̇n de la tradicion oral a la literatura
Get PDFLa presente tesis doctoral es un estudio comparativo de dos leyendas de distintas culturas: «Los Amantes de Teruel» de España y «Ferhat ile Şirin» de Turquía. Es el primer estudio que contiene el análisis de una leyenda española con un relato turco desde un punto de vista comparativo utilizando una bibliografía amplia de los importantes estudiosos de España, Turquía y de todo el mundo.
El estudio consta de dos partes. La primera parte contiene el análisis de los dos relatos en la tradición oral. En el primer capítulo se analiza la distinción entre los géneros folclóricos que pertenecen las dos historias: la leyenda y halk hikayesi. En el segundo capítulo se centran en los orígenes de «Los Amantes de Teruel» y su evolución en la cultura oral del país, analizando la estructura y los motivos folclóricos que contiene el primer testimonio oral del relato en España, el papel escrito de letra antigua de Yagüe de Salas. En el tercer capítulo se dedica a los orígenes del relato turco y al análisis comparativo de sus cinco versiones en la tradición oral turca teniendo en cuenta la estructura que se proporciona por el investigador turco del folclore, Pertev Naili Boratav y los motivos folclóricos de Antti Aarne. En el último capítulo de la primera parte se hace un análisis comparativo de la estructura y los motivos folclóricos de los primeros testimonios de las historias española y turca.
La segunda parte consta de sus versiones más exitosos en la literatura de dos países: Los amantes de Teruel de Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch y Ferhat ile Şirin de Nazım Hikmet. En el primer capítulo se dedica a la vida y la época de Hartzenbusch y la comparación de las dos versiones de la obra; una escrita en 1839, el primer manuscrito y la otra de 1849. Así se ve tanto la evolución de la leyenda en la literatura y también la evolución del drama y el dramaturgo en el siglo XIX. En el segundo capítulo consta de la vida y época de Nazım Hikmet que cultiva su obra dentro del movimiento realismo social y se considera como uno de los autores de la literatura turca más conocidos mundialmente. Para hacer el análisis, escogimos la primera publicación de Ferhat ile Şirin y lo comparamos con su versión en castellano Leyenda de amor, que se traduce bajo el dominio del mismo autor. Así se ven los cambios a la hora de traducir la obra a otro idioma. Tambien se ven la evolución de la leyenda dentro de la literatura.This present thesis contains a comparative study of two legends of different cultures: "The Lovers of Teruel" in Spain and "Ferhat and Şirin" in Turkey.

Seed morphology and its systematic implications for genus Oxytropis DC. (Fabaceae)
No full textWOS: 000367792300007In the present study, seeds of 13 Oxytropis DC. species (including two latest synonyms) classified in subg. Oxytropis (sect. Dolichocarpon, sect. Chrysantha and sect. Eumorpha), subg. Euoxytropis (sect. Orobia) and subg. Phacoxytropis (sect. Protoxytropis, sect. Janthina and sect. Mesogaea) from Turkey were examined using light and scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the taxonomic relevance of macro- and micro-morphological seed characters. As a result of the study, species-specific characters have been determined. Seeds exhibit variation in size, shape, surface sculpturing pattern, hilum position and weight. Seeds ranged from 1.61 to 4.04mm in length and from 1.02 to 2.56mm in width. Five different seed shapes were recognised, as prolonged semielliptic, reniform, prolonged reniform, quadratic and cardiform, with a length to width ratio ranging from 1.02 +/- 0.08 to 1.75 +/- 0.27. Rugulate, rugulate-reticulate and lophate sculpturing patterns were observed in the studied species. According to the results, seed characters, such as the size (length, width and the length/width ratio), the shape, the surface sculpturing and the weight appear to have low taxonomic value in distinguishing subgenera, sections and species.Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) [TBAG-105 T 180]We thank all the curators of herbaria (AEF, ANK, B, E, EGE, G, GAZI, GB, HUB, LE, VANF) which first author visited for their kind permission to work and The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) for financial support (Project No: TBAG-105 T 180).

Relationship between obesity and thyroid function in adults
No full textObjectives: Obesity affects prognosis of many comorbid diseases negatively. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between obesity and thyroid function. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2011 and December 2012. Consecutively selected adults who applied to the outpatient clinics of Family Medicine and Internal Medicine, at Marmara University Hospital were recruited in the study. Height and weight were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride and glucose levels were measured for every participant. According to their BMI, participants were divided into three groups as normal weight (< 25), overweight (25-30) and obese (>= 30). Results: Data of 618 participants (53% female/47% male) was analyzed. Mean age was 43 +/- 15. There were 175 (28.3%) participants in normal weight, 242 (39.2%) in overweight and 201 (32.5%) in obese groups. No statistically significant difference was found between groups in terms of TSH or fT4. Statistically significant difference was found in terms of lipid profiles and blood glucose between groups. Atherogenic lipid levels (total cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride) and blood glucose were higher and HLD levels were lower in overweight or obese groups P<0.05) but there were no statistically significant differences between overweight and obese groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: This study is one of the few studies in the literature showing that there is no relationship between obesity and thyroid function
Effects on Blood Pressure Control and Compliance for Medical Treatment in Hypertensive Patients by Sending Daily SMS as a Reminder
No full textObjective: According to the World Health Organization(WHO), drug non-compliance in chronic diseases affects health conditions of patients negatively. The aim of this study is to determine the effects on blood pressure control and drug compliance in hypertensive patients by sending daily short message service(SMS). Methods: In this randomized controlled study, hypertensive patients were selected and divided into control and intervention groups. Daily SMS reminder has been send to intervention group for two months. Weekly ambulatory blood pressure measurements before two visits have been requested of all the patients and measurements were done at the visits. Compliance was scaled by Modified Morisky Questionnaire. Blood pressure measurements and compliance of each group was compared. Results: Sixty patients were enrolled in the study: 45 were female, 15 male; mean age was 55 +/- 11 years; mean BMI was 30 +/- 5 kg/m2; mean number of tablets per day was 4 +/- 2 pills. There was no statistically significant difference between the average at visit and weekly blood pressure (BP) measurements at first visit of two groups. The average at visit and weekly BP measurements at second visit were found to be statistically significant lower and the average at visit and weekly BP measurement change between first and second visit was found to be statistically significant higher in the intervention group compared to the control group. Drug compliance ratio was 36,7% for the control group, 96,7% for the intervention group. Conclusion: Sending a daily reminder SMS is effective in increasing blood pressure control and enhancing drug compliance in hypertension patients
Thyroid hormones and BMI in obese children: One year follow up results
No full textObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and obesity, lipid levels and weight changes. Patients and Methods: Five to eleven year old normal weight, overweight and obese children underwent measurements of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), lipid profile and autoimmune thyroid antibodies. Children with high TSH were re-evaluated one year later without any intervention. Results: Three hundred children (126 obese, 74 overweight, 100 normal weight) were evaluated in the study. The rates of high TSH levels were 1.0% in normal weight, 9.5% in overweight and 11.9% in obese group (p=0.007). fT4 levels of all the children enrolled in the study were in normal range. None of the children had autoimmune antibody positivity. Obese children with high TSH had higher triglyceride levels than children with normal TSH (p=0.028). One year later, a significant decrease in body mass index (BMI) was accompanied by a significant decrease in TSH levels. Conclusion: TSH levels can be high in obese and overweight children. Obese and overweight children with elevated levels of TSH do not need to be treated pharmacologically, losing weight decreases TSH levels significantly
Strategies of Enunciative Erasure and Position Taken by the Author-Researcher Case of Doctoral Student Articles
No full textThe main purpose of this article is to examine the construction of authorship in scientific articles written by Algerian doctoral students. We focused on the personal subject pronouns (nous and on) as the main mark of the expression of subjectivity, trying to see how the identity of the author is constituted in the texts of these young researchers. The observations indicates tyhat,dispite the requirement of objectvity that caracterireres the discursive genre in research,the writings of doctotoral studients continue to include markers of the first person.

Coğrafi bilgi sistemleri (CBS) tabanlı orman yangını risk analizi: Bartın İli örneği
No full textAlthough the Black Sea Region is humid, there have been many forest fires recently. The province of Bartin, located in this region, has forests rich in biodiversity. In addition, the province also includes the Western Kure Mountains, an extension of the Kure Mountains National Park, which is one of the 9 hot spots of our country. Considering these conditions, forest areas within the provincial borders of Bartin should be protected against fire risks. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine the forest fire risk in Bartin province. For this purpose, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is a useful tool, was used in the study. GIS, an advanced approach to processing and displaying data, stands out by enabling risk analysis. In the research, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) method was used to determine the fire risk. GRA is an effective formula for assessing the degree of influence of factors. In the calculation, the factors affecting the fire and the emergency response factors were analyzed and mapped separately. Then, these maps were combined to create a fire risk map. According to the result of the fire risk map, 18% of Bartin province is a very high risk area. In these areas, the temperature is high, the altitude is low, and the presence of conifers has been remarkable
