    Ergonul, Onder/0000-0003-1935-9235; Tulek, Necla/0000-0002-3952-4982Background: Since 2011, the conflict in Syria has led to over five million refugees. Turkey hosts the highest number of Syrian refugees in the world. By February 2019 over 3.6 million people had fled to Turkey to seek safety. Only 6.1% of Syrian refugees live in temporary shelters. Owing to the disrupted healthcare services, many children coming from the conflict zones are less likely to have received vaccination. In temporary shelters immunization coverage is >95% and the refugee population is receptive to vaccination. Aims: The objective of this study was to review the infectious diseases situation among Syrian refugees in Turkey. Sources: We have reviewed the reports and studies provided by the governmental and non-governmental organizations and obtained more detailed data from the Ministry of Health in Turkey. Content: Between 2012 and 2016, 1 299 209 cases of respiratory tract infection and 158 058 episodes of diarrhoea with 59 bloody diarrhoeas were reported; 1354 hepatitis A cases and 108 active tuberculosis cases were detected and treated in the temporary shelters for Syrian refugees. Overall in Turkey, 7794 cutaneous leishmaniasis have been reported. Implications: Since the influx of Syrian refugees, there has been an increase in cases of leishmaniasis and measles. No significant increase was detected for tuberculosis, other vector-borne infections, and healthcare associated or sexually transmitted infections. The Syrian refugees can be considered as a vulnerable group in Turkey due to their living and working conditions. Based on available data and our detailed analysis, the numbers show a stable situation regarding infectious diseases. (C) 2019 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

    same nation or the same author in terms of subject, motivation, and form. It is also possible that the studies in this discipline, whose exact boundaries cannot be mentioned, can address these three items together, or two or only one of them. This discipline, which emphasizes the similar and different sides of the texts, also emphasizes the causes of differences and similarities. This branch of science, which sees literature as a whole, aims to find all possible affinities of intercultural and intertextual relations and their reasons in works of different or the same period. In this context, the main criterion is that suitable motifs or thoughts can be handled in a common context in terms of comparability. In this study, Les Fleurs du Mal of Charles Baudelaire; The poem titled a Conversation Between God and Man by Muhammed Ikbal and the art poem of Arif Nihat Asya was primarily studied thematically. Different and common aspects of the texts were emphasized. The 'Pluralist Method' used in comparative literature science was taken as the basis.Karsilastirmali edebiyat bilimi, farkli uluslara ya da ayni ulus veya ayni yazara ait en az iki eserin konu, düsünce ve biçim açisindan incelenmesini esas alir. Kesin sinirlarindan söz edilemeyen bu bilim dalindaki çalismalarin bu üç maddeyi birlikte veya ikisini ya da tekini konu edinmesi de mümkündür. Metinlerin, ortak, benzer ve farkli yanlarini açik etmeyi hedefleyen bu disiplin özellikle metinlerdeki farklilik ve benzerliklerin nedenleri üzerinde durur. Farkli veya ayni zaman dilimindeki eserlerde, kültürlerarasi ve metinlerarasi iliskilerin olasi tüm yakinliklarini ve bunlarin nedenlerini açik etme de bu hedefler arasindadir. Bu baglamda temel kriter, mukayese edilebilirlik açisindan uygun motif ya da düsüncelerin ortak baglamda ele alinabilmesidir. Bu çalismada, Charles Baudelaire’in Sonsöz Tasarisi adli siiri, Muhammed Ikbal’in Allah ile Insan Arasinda bir Konusma baslikli siiri ile Arif Nihat Asya’nin Sanat baslikli siiri, öncelikle tematik açidan incelendi. Metinlerin ortak, benzer ve farkli yanlari üzerinde duruldu. Çalismada karsilastirmali edebiyat biliminde kullanilan yöntemlerden ‘Çogulcu Yöntem’ esas alindi

    A secure and efficient inventory management system for disasters

    Over the last three decades, disasters worldwide claimed more than 3 million lives and adversely affected the lives of at least 1 billion people (Noji, 1997). Regarding the threats posed by these disasters, emergency disaster management has emerged as a vital tool to reduce the harm and alleviate the suffering these disasters can cause to their victims. A significant task of planners involved in emergency disaster management is planning for and satisfying the vital needs of the people located in emergency shelters such as the Superdome in New Orleans. This thesis proposes a novel and comprehensive framework for the development of a humanitarian emergency inventory management system based on the real-time tracking of emergency supplies and demands through the integration of emerging technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) for commodity tracking and logistics. The novelty of this thesis is that, for the first time in the emergency inventory management field, the proposed approach combines an offline planning strategy with online control techniques in a unified framework. Within this framework, the offline planning problem is solved by the stochastic humanitarian inventory management approach, whereas the online modeling strategies include the application of neural network-based functional approximation, simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA), and continuous time model predictive control (CMPC) techniques. Unlike previous studies, the flexibility of the proposed inventory management and control model allows the application of the developed mathematical model to extreme events making online real-time tracking possible. Realistic case studies built using information available from past disasters are used to examine the differences in inventory strategies for different types of disasters based on the impact area and duration of the extreme event. The proposed methodology is also capable of representing and understanding real-life cases where uncertainty and limitations on the inventory levels and flow of supplies can be modeled by introducing different levels of stochasticity and real-life constraints. The overall findings of this thesis have pointed out that the proposed integrated framework can be efficiently used for emergency inventory planning and inventory control during disaster relief operations without ignoring the real-world uncertainties, fluctuations, and constraints of disaster conditions.Ph.
