Author Self-Citation in the Turkish Otorhinolaryngology Literature
Full text linkObjective:To evaluate the prevalence and other characteristics of author self-citations in six Turkey-originated general otorhinolaryngology (ORL) journals of Turkish ORL literature.Methods:A total of 970 articles published in six Turkey-originated general ORL journals (ENT Updates, Journal of Ear Nose Throat and Head Neck Surgery, KBB-Forum, Praxis of Otorhinolaryngology, The Turkish Journal of Ear Nose and Throat, and Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology) in 2016-2020 were analyzed for author self-citations. The association between author self-citations and journal types, study types, study topics, country of origin, and compatibility with the topic were also evaluated.Results:There were 265 author self-citations (0.273 per article) which corresponded to 1.36% of all citations. There was no significant difference between the journal types, study topics, and origin of the studies in terms of mean self-citation values per study, whereas case reports had significantly lower self-citations than review and original investigations. There were three citations (1.1%) that were irrelevant to the study topic.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that investigated the practice of author self-citation in Turkish ORL literature. Author self-citation rate in the Turkish-originated general ORL journals was found remarkably lower than the medical literature, whereas the self-citations were found compatible with the study topic to a very large extent. Members of the scientific community including authors, readers, and journal editors should be cautious regarding the unethical practices of self-citations
An Evaluation of the Second Survey on Electronic Databases Usage at Ankara University Digital Library
Full text linkPurpose
The study encompasses the assessment of the effectiveness of the digital library and the value of multidisciplinary databases in terms of user preferences and use frequency by academic ranking.
Methodology
This paper compares the results of two survey questionnaires carried out in 2002 and 2005. To examine the level of awareness by academic staff of digital library resources along with their use rate and to evaluate the preferences of faculty for specific electronic databases case studies were undertaken by means of separate questionnaires in both years.
Findings
Findings were consistent that positive results have been observed in two studies conducted in two years, 2002 and 2005. According to the results of current survey, the increase numbers of the faculty members of Ankara University know about the existence of the digital library after the informative activities on databases from. Another result of the survey is that many of the faculty members, although not all of them use electronic databases. The most preferred databases have been Web of Science, Science Direct and Ebsco. When use of the electronic databases is analyzed, in respect of faculty rank and level of awareness, associate and assistant professors, assistants place at first ranges.
Originality/value
The study presents the first case study in the field in Turkey that compares the current situation of the digital library usage with the initial survey data
Sub-lethal effects of two pyrethroids on biological parameters and behavioral responses to host cues in the egg parasitoid Telenomus busseolae
No full textThe present study was undertaken to investigate possible integration of synthetic pyrethroids with biological control of Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvre (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) by the egg parasitoid Telenomus busseolae Gahan (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). The effects of two commonly used synthetic pyrethroids, deltamethrin (Decis Jet 15 EC) and cyfluthrin (Bayteroid 5 EC), on the parasitoid were studied. Lethal concentrations (LC25) were estimated for both insecticides, and their sub-lethal effects on some biological parameters and behavioral responses to different kairomonal cues mediating host location were investigated. Parasitoid females exposed to cyfluthrin (LC25) parasitized significantly fewer eggs than untreated females, whereas neither the level of emergence from parasitized eggs nor the sex ratio of the offspring was affected by the insecticides. None of the above biological parameters were significantly affected by deltamethrin (LC25). Both insecticide treatments reduced the longevity of the parasitoids. The effects of both insecticides (LC25) on the behavioral responses of parasitoid females to the sex pheromone of S. nonagrioides, which acts as a long-distance kairomone, were investigated in a Y-tube olfactometer. Cyfluthrin-treated parasitoids failed to respond to the host pheromone, whereas deltamethrin-treated females responded similarly to untreated females. In addition, sub-lethal effects of pyrethroids on parasitoid arrestment behaviors were evaluated in an open arena containing abdominal scales from virgin female moths, which are a source of short-distance kairomone for the parasitoid. No significant differences in arrestment behaviors (residence time, linear speed) were found. Based on our results, possible consequences of treating maize with cyfluthrin or deltamethrin on the effectiveness of surviving T. busseolae in the field are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar'In Huzur Adlı Romanının İngilizce Tercümesi Üzerine Bir Vaka İncelemesi
No full textTürk edebiyatının önde gelen isimlerinden olan Ahmet Hamdi TANPINAR, Türkiye'de romanları, denemeleri ve şiirleri ile tanınmaktadır. Ancak, TANPINAR yaşadığı dönemde gerek romanları ve düz yazıları gerekse şiirleri ile hak ettiği değeri bulamamıştır. Bununla birlikte, 1970'ten itibaren hem kendi ülkesinde hem de uluslararası alanda Tanpınar'ın eserlerine olan ilgide ciddi bir artış olmuştur. Özellikle son yıllarda Türkiye Çeviri ve Yayım Destek Programı Kurumu'nun (TEDA) projesi sayesinde Tanpınar eserleri diğer dillere en çok tercüme edilen Türk edebiyatçıları arasına girmiştir. Tanpınar'ın önemli eserlerinden biri kabul edilen Huzur romanı TEDA'nın da çabalarıyla 2008'de Türk asıllı Amerikalı akademisyen ve çevirmen Erdağ Göknar tarafından İngilizceye A Mind at Peace ismiyle çevrilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Tanpınar'ın Huzur romanının özgün hali ile İngilizce çevirisinin mukayese edilmesi ve çeviri bilimsel olarak tahlil edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İncelemede temel olarak Raymond van den Broeck'un karşılaştırmalı analiz yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Kaynak eser Huzur'daki kelime zenginliğinin, şiirsel bölümlerin, sıklıkla başvurulan eğretileme kullanımının, esere sirayet etmiş olan kültürel unsurların, mekânsal ve ruhsal derinliği olan tasvirlerin ve nihayetinde yazarın edebî tarzının hedef dile ve kültüre ne düzeyde aktarılabildiğine dair tespitlerde bulunmak bu incelemenin ana hedefidir.Ahmet Hamdi TANPINAR, one of the leading figures of Turkish Literature, is well-known for his novels, essays and poems in Turkey. However, he could not achieve the acclaim he deserved during his lifetime. But, since 1970s, both in his native country and in international arena, there has been an increasing interest in his literary works. And especially in recent years, thanks to the support of Translation and Publication Grant Program of Turkey (TEDA), his works have become among the most prominent translated works of Turkish Literature. One of his most important novels, Huzur was translated into English by Turkish American academician Erdağ GÖKNAR with the title A Mind at Peace in 2008. The main concern of this study is to make a comparative and scientific analysis of the source and the target texts. In this study, the model of comparative analysis by Raymond Van Den Broeck has been adopted. The main objective of the study is indeed to find out to what extent lexical variety and richness of the source text, poetic lines, commonly used metaphors by the author, cultural elements, descriptions with spatial and spiritual depth, as well as the literary approach of the author could be transferred into the target language and text
The modulation of delta responses in the interaction of brightness and emotion
No full textKurt, Pınar (Arel Author), Eroğlu, Kübra (Arel Author), Kuzgun Bayram, Tubanur (Arel Author)The modulation of delta oscillations (0.5-3.5 Hz) by emotional stimuli is reported. Physical attributes such as color, brightness and spatial frequency of emotional visual stimuli have crucial effect on the perception of complex scene. Brightness is intimately related with emotional valence. Here we explored the effect of brightness on delta oscillatory responses upon presentation of pleasant, unpleasant and neutral pictures. We found that bright unpleasant pictures elicited lower amplitude of delta response than original unpleasant pictures. The electro-physiological finding of the study was in accordance with behavioral data. These results denoted the importance of delta responses on the examination of the association between perceptual and conceptual processes while in the question of brightness and emotion
