Maternal and Environmental Determinants of Breast-Milk Mercury Concentrations
No full textSUMMARY: Yalçın SS, Yurdakök K, Yalçın S, Engür-Karasimav D, Coşkun T. Maternal and environmental determinants of breast milk mercury concentrations. Turk J Pediatr 2010: 52: 1-9. We aimed to evaluate the maternal factors [including dietary habits, dental care, smoking, anemia, levels of breast milk zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), and levels of serum selenium (Se), Zn and copper (Cu)] that influence breast- milk mercury (Hg) concentrations and to investigate whether there is any relation between Hg concentrations and infant growth and development during the exclusive breastfeeding period and in the second year of life. Forty-four healthy mother-infant pairs in the 10-20-day postpartum period were enrolled in the study. Maternal history and blood samples for hemoglobin, Fe, Fe binding capacity, ferritin, Se, Zn, and Cu and breast-milk samples for Fe, Zn and Hg were taken. Infant growth and development during the exclusive breastfeeding period and in the second year of life were followed. The mean concentration of breast-milk Hg was 3.42±1.66 µg/L. Serum Se levels were negatively correlated with milk Hg levels. Multivariate analysis revealed that active/passive smoking and offal intake during pregnancy and presence of maternal anemia had an impact on increased milk Hg concentrations. Preventive strategies for mercury exposure should include management of iron deficiency anemia, cessation of smoking exposure and proper nutrition during the pregnancy period.Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [SBAG-2407]This research was partially supported by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK SBAG-2407).

Examining the Effects of Oxygen Exposure on the Developing Brain Through Murine Models
No full textABSTRACT Hyperoxia is one of the key players contributing preterm brain injury. Researchers typically use rodent models to pinpoint the underlying pathologic alterations in hyperoxic brain damage. When evaluating the neurological effects of neonatal hyperoxic brain injury in an experimental model, choosing the appropriate assessment techniques is crucial. The goal of this article is to review the behavioral and learning tests that can be used to determine the impact of hyperoxia on the developing brain. Injuries to the nervous system can be recovered very quickly in newborn rodents. Thus, the timing of evaluation tests are very critical. A model that is appropriate for the brain's developmental processes and accurately simulates the damage in humans should be utilized in studies on neonatal hyperoxic brain injury, and the right test should be chosen at the appropriate time. In the first twenty days, physical and motor development tests, and subsequent evaluation of damaged brain structures are relevant. The open field and forced swim tests can be used to assess the animal's locomotor activity and depressive condition, while the watermaze, passive avoidance and new object recognition tests can be used to assess cognitive abilities. In laboratory mice and rats, physical development and motor reflex development tests can be started right after birth, while learning and memory tests can be done from 4 weeks at the earliest. Correlations between motor development, behavior, memory tests, and results of cellular/ molecular studies should be made and interpreted carefully.

Going global: The role of gatekeepers in the transnational reception of defne suman’s the silence of scheherazade
No full textGoing Global: The Role of Gatekeepers in the Transnational Reception of Defne Suman’s The Silence of ScheherazadeOn August 12, 2021, with hashtags, #historicalfiction, #translatedfiction, #greece, #turkey, #armenia, #levant #empire, #Scheherazade, Defne Suman announced the release of her English-language debut novel, The Silence of Scheherazade on social media. The novel centres on the tale of the burning of Smyrna in 1922, told through Levantine, Greek, Turkish and Armenian inhabitants of the city. Her gatekeepers, Head of Zeus Independent Publishing Company, the book’s translator Betsy Göksel and her literary agent Nermin Mollaoğlu were among the first ones to receive tribute for their hard work and support in the process. In the following months, Maureen Freely hosted the book’s launch in an online event, organized by Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon. Succeeding interviews, book reading events and podcasts concentrated on the writer’s upbringing, other authors who influenced the style of the author, the translation process, the role of history in the book, as well as the motivation behind its title, which was different from its Turkish version, Emanet Zaman (2016).If World Literature is constituted by \"literary works that circulate beyond their culture of origin, either in translation or in their original language,\" as Damrosch (2003: 4) states, then, other actors who are involved in the work’s interaction with the world audience pave the way for its success in the global market, as William Marling claims in Gatekeepers: The Emergence of World Literature in the 1960s (2016:1). Taking its cue from the convergence of these insights, the paper focuses on the multi-layered gatekeeping process of Suman’s Scheherazade and explores the ways in which people and institutions have become integral components of its global dissemination.Works CitedDamrosch, David (2003) What is World Literature?

THE NOVEL THE ADVENTURES OF MISFIT DEFNE KAMAN -WATER IS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF DISCOURSES SURROUNDING SULTURAL DIVERSITY AND MARGINALIZATION WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF MAGICAL REALISM SU-UYUMSUZ DEFNE KAMAN’IN MACERALARI ADLI ROMANDA BÜYÜLÜ GERÇEKÇİLİK EKSENİNDE KÜLTÜREL ÇEŞİTLİLİK VE ÖTEKİLEŞTİRME SÖYLEMLERİ
No full textBuket Uzuner’s novel The Adventures of Misfit Defne Kaman -Water contains rich data that can be analyzed in terms of cultural diversity and marginalization in the light of folkloric and mythological discourses. In addition, in the study, an examination was made based on the magical realism narrative style, which originates from Novalis, one of the Romantic period writers of German literature, within the framework of the author’s extraordinary narrative style. It was determined that the traces of the magical realist narrative style were based on Shamanism and myths, and it was seen that realistic elements perceived as fantastic and strange were consciously placed in the novel in the context of dreams and mythological references. The author’s novels, which bear the title The Adventures of Misfit Defne Kaman and are a nature quadrilogy, draw attention to ecological awareness and bring environmental problems back to the agenda. In the novel, the author emphasizes the importance of the “Water” element in Shamanism, one of the ancient Turkish traditions where nature and life are sanctified, and the work “Kutadgu Bilig” in terms of Turkish history and culture by arguing that all living things are of equal value. Among the topics covered in the novel in terms of reflecting cultural differences, the cultural diversity offered by various worldviews such as the Shaman belief as well as sectarian differences are emphasized. In this context, the love between the young Alevi Ümit and the young Sunni girl Tasvir is one of the striking examples discussed in the work. The work also addresses the psychological, spiritual, and physical problems caused by intrafamily traumas transmitted from the experiences of past generations, family constellation, and the resulting unity of origin and family destiny in terms of the Shaman belief. In the study, an analysis focused on text analysis and interpretation was carried out in terms of examining the samples and quotations
Aerosol production via electro and plasma devices: In-vitro PlasmaJet and ERBE tissue effects and aerosol production affecting factors evaluation
No full textSurgical aerosols in other words plumes are produced during thermal tissue destruction in medical operations. The cellular debris in the form of particulate matter may contain viruses and harmful chemical compounds which can lead to an infectious transmission in case of inhalation. The goal of this study was to design and produce an experimental setup to simulate Plasmajet (PJ) and ERBE experiments with minimal airflow disturbances. Such setup can lead to defining the lowest aerosol production conditions, investigating the production-affecting factors, and evaluating tissue effects to promote a safer and healthier surgical environment for both healthcare workers and patients. A clear correlation between the aerosol production affecting factors and particle counts was established for particle sizes 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, and 10.0 µm. The results of the experiments showed that among all experimental conditions, the PJ coagulation mode with fast operation yielded the lowest aerosol counts. In cutting mode, the lowest aerosol counts were also produced by PJ with fast operation speed. However, between speed and aerosol counts, no statistically significant correlation was found. Upon analyzing the correlation between aerosol counts and tissue effects, it was determined that, for ERBE device, higher aerosol counts were associated with darker tissue effects. In the case of the PJ device, this relationship persisted in the cutting mode, whereas no connection between tissue effect and particle counts was observed in the coagulation mode. Further investigation on the toxicity of the produced particulate matter and establishment of a clear minimal aerosol intake is recommended. Until then, preventive measures such as implementing local exhaust ventilation and using surgical N95 masks are strongly advised to minimize aerosol inhalation.Biomedical Engineerin
Laboratuvar Sıçan Kolonilerinde Sık Laktasyon Dönemleri Annelerin Kendilerine ve Yavrularına Bakım ve Beslenmesi Üzerinde Olumsuz Etkisi Olur mu?
No full textLaboratuvar sıçanları deneysel hayvan araştırmalarında en çok tercih edilen ikinci memeli türüdür. Bu araştırma, “laboratuvarda üretimde kullanılan dişi sıçanların emzirme dönemlerinin sık olması yavruların ve kendilerinin öz bakımını olumsuz etkiler mi ?” sorusuna cevaplandırmak için yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla, geleneksel bir Wistar Albino sıçan kolonisinden gelen anne sıçanların kendileri ve yavruları için bakımı, birbirini takip eden iki emzirme dönemi bu çalışma kapsamında izlendi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen anne sıçanlar doğurdukları tüm yavrularını iki laktasyon döneminde başarıyla büyütmüşlerdir. Anne sıçanların iki laktasyon döneminde de erken laktasyon evresinde (PostNatal-PN1-8 gün) günlük yaşamlarının %85'ini yavruları ile birlikte geçirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Laktasyon döneminin ikinci ve orta evresinde (PN9-18 günleri arasında) günlük yaşamlarının %60'ını, laktasyonun geç ve son evresinde (PN19-23 günleri arasınde) günlük yaşamlarının %30'unu yavrularıyla birlikte geçirdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Anne sıçanların laktasyon döneminin erken, orta ve geç dönemlerinde yavrularıyla birlikte kalma süreleri, yavrularından ayrılma süreleri ve ayrılma sıklıkları açısından anlamlı farklılık bulunurken (p< .001), iki laktasyon döneminin aynı dönemleri birbiriyle karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı (p> .05). Anne sıçanların iki laktasyon dönemindeki canlı ağırlık değişimi, yem tüketimi ve su tüketimi değişimleri karşılaştırıldığında önemli bir fark bulunamadı. Anne sıçanların ve yavrularının sık laktasyon dönemlerinde bakımında herhangi bir olumsuz etkinin olmadığı sonucuna varıldı. </p
