    Background: Vitamin D was shown to be related to autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) in the previous studies. We aimed to investigate the relationship between Vitamin D and thyroid autoimmunity. Materials and Methods: Eighty-two patients, diagnosed with AITD by the endocrinology outpatient clinic, were included in this prospective study. All of the patients had both AITD and Vitamin D deficiency, defined as serum values <20 ng/mL. They were randomly assigned into two groups. The first group included 46 patients and the second one included 36 patients. The first group was treated with Vitamin D for 1 month at 1000 IU/day. The second group served as the control group and was not treated with Vitamin D replacement. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T4 (fT4), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and Vitamin D levels were measured at the initiation of the study and again at 1 month in all patients. Results: Two groups were similar with regard to age, sex, and type of thyroid disease. Whereas TPO-Ab (before; 278.3 ± 218.4 IU/ml and after; 267.9 ± 200.7 IU/ml) and TgAb (before; 331.9 ± 268.1 IU/ml and after; 275.4 ± 187.3 IU/ml) levels were significantly decreased by the Vitamin D replacement therapy in group 1 (P = 0.02, P = 0.03, respectively), the evaluated parameters in the control group did not significantly change (P = 0.869, P = 0.530, respectively). In addition, thyroid function tests did not significantly change with Vitamin D replacement in two groups. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the pathogenesis of AITDs. Since supplementation of the Vitamin D decreased thyroid antibody titers in this study in Vitamin D deficient subjects, in the future Vitamin D may become a part of AITDs' treatment, especially in those with Vitamin D insufficiency. Further clinical and experimental studies are required to understand the effect of Vitamin D on AITD

    La 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. It is the first study that elaborates the analysis of a Spanish legend with a Turkish story from a comparative point of view using a large bibliography of leading scholars from Spain, Turkey and the entire world. The study consists of two parts. The first part contains the analysis of the two stories in the oral tradition. In the first chapter analyses the diferences between the folk genders that belong two stories: the legend and halk hikayesi. The second chapter focuses on the origins of "The Lovers of Teruel" and its evolution in the oral culture of the country, analyzing the structure and folk motifs taht contains the first oral testimony of the story in Spain taht is written by notarial Yagüe de Salas. The third chapter is dedicated to the origins of the Turkish story and the comparative analysis of the structure of Pertev Naili Boratav and folk motifs of Antti Aarne of the five versions in Turkish oral tradition. The last chapter contains the comparative analysis of the structure and the folk motifs of the first testimonies of the Spanish and Turkish stories. The second part consists of its most successful versions in the literature of two countries: The Lovers of Teruel of Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch and Ferhat ile Şirin of Nazım Hikmet. The first chapter is dedicated to the life and the century of Hartzenbusch and the comparison of the two versions of the book; one is written in 1839, the first manuscript and the other in 1849. Wıth thıs study we see the evolution of the legend in literature and also the evolution of the drama in the 19th century. The second chapter consists of the life and era of Nazım Hikmet who cultivated his work within the social realism movement and is regarded as one of the authors of Turkish literature more known ın world. We chose the first publication of Ferhat ile Şirin and compare it with the version in Spanish Legend of Love, translated under the control of the same author. So we compare the diferences between the original text and the translation one and also the evolution of the legend in literature

    ABSTRACT Simav geothermal field is located in the Simav graben system at Kütahya province in western Anatolia. Geological units are mainly consisting of formations the Menderes Massif. The Kalkan formation and Simav metamorphics consist of migmatite, gneiss and schists of PrecambrianPaleozoic age, and accorded at the basement of the study area. The sequence continues upward with laterally and vertically interbedded, Paleozoic Balikbasi (marble), Saricasu (schist) and Arikaya (crystallized limestone) formations. The Triassic -Jurassic Budagan limestone rest on the above mentioned formation with angular conformity. The Paleocene Egrigöz granite crosscut all the above mentioned units. Detritic and calcareous Kizilbük formation, Civanadag tuff and Akdag volcanic comprising of agglomerate, dacite, rhyodacite and rhyolite are Miocene in age, laterally and vertically interbedded to each other and, overlie the Egrigöz granite unconformably. Coarse detritic Toklargölü formation, Eynal formation and Nasa basalt intercalating both formations occur at the top of the sequence. All of these formations are covered by actual alluvium. Joints and fractures developed in the Nasa basalt (1. reservoir rock), the Budagan limestone (2. reservoir), marble and limestone of the Arikaya and Balikbasi formations form secondary porosity and better permeability. The Eynal formation, Akdag volcanics, Civanadag tuffs, Kizilbük formation and Saricasu formation are impermeable and are cap rocks in character. According to the data obtained from wells drilled for the drinking and irrigation water purposes, ground water flow is toward the desiccated lake. Cold water analysis gave high CO 3 +HCO 3 , Ca, Mg ion values, and low NH 4 , NO 3 , Fe, NO 2 , Al and Mn ion values. Hot water analysis gave a cation trend of Na+K &gt;Ca&gt;Mg and an anion trend of HCO 3 +CO 3 &gt;SO 4 &gt;Cl .Cold water -hot water interactions and contaminated areas were determined by doing isotherm, resistivity and hydrochemical maps. Based on saturation indices, hot waters are saturated in respect to aragonite, calcite and dolomite and this indicates that rocks at the recharge area and reservoir are calcareous in composition. Isotopic analyses have shown that geothermal water is meteoric in origin and the circulation time of water is longer than 50 years. Reservoir rock temperatures have been calculated as being 148 -180 ºC through geothermometric applications

    WOS: 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).

    The 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. This usage diffes from that found in common dicoure, suggesting a particular construction of authorial identityLe propos principal de ce présent article est d’examiner la construction de l’identité d’auteur dans les articles scientifiques écrits par des doctorants algériens.Nous nous sommes concentrées sur les pronoms personnels sujets (nous et on) comme la principale marque de l’expression de la subjectivité, en essayant de voir comment se constitue l’identité de l’auteur dans les textes de ces jeunes chercheurs. Les observations indiquent que, malgré l’exigence de l’objectivité qui caractérise le genre discursif en recherche, les écrits des doctorants continuent s’inclurent des marques de la première personne. Cet emploi se différencie de celui que l’on trouve dans le discours commun,ce qui indique une construction particulière de l’identité auctorial

Araştırmalarım sonucu eserin iki nüshasına ulaşabildim. Bu nüshalardan Topkapı Sarayı Ktp. 1296 numarada kayıtlı olan minyatürlü orijinal nüsha’yı transkripe ederek, İstanbul Üniversitesi Ktp. Tyz. 2372 numarada kayıtlı olan ikinci nüsha ile karşılaştırdım ve farklılıkları dipnot olarak verdim. Müellif bu eserinde Ferhat Paşa’nın Gence’yi fethini ve bu sefer sırasında olan olayları anlatmaktadır. Gence Fetihnâmesi, sekiz bâb ve bir hatimeden oluşmakta olup eserde yer olan konu başlıkları ve bölümler şu şekildedir; Serdar Ferhat Paşa’nın Doğu Seferi H-991/M-1583 , Ordunun Gürcistan’a Girmesi, Lori ve Tomanis Kalelerinin İnşası H-992/M-1584 , Vezir Ferhat Paşa’nın İkinci Defa Serdar Olması H-994/M-1586 , Gori Seferi ve Kazak Hanın İta‘ati H-995/M-1587, Gori ve Ahıska Kalelerinin İnşası H-996/M-1588, Gence Seferi H-996/M-1588 , Muhammed Kulu Han’ın Yenilgisi H-997/M-1589, Şehzâde Haydar’ın Erzurum’a Gelmesi H-998/M-1589, Ebu’s- suud Efendi’nin Savaşa Cevaz Veren Fetvâsı. Rahîmîzâde İbrahim Çavuş’un bu eseri H-991-996/ M-1583-1588 yılları arasındaki İran Seferlerini ve 1590 İstanbul Antlaşması’na kadar olan sınır bölgesindeki askeri ve diplomatik gelişmeleri içermektedir.In my study, I aimed Sergant Rahîmîzâde İbrahim’s Gence Conquest - Declaration’s transcript , which mentioned Murat III era, Otoman-Safevî contacts and particularly Gence Conquest , to present current historian benefits. After my researches, I obtained two copies of the work. I transcribed the original miniature one registered at Topkapı Palace Library 1296 and then I compared with the other one registered at İstanbul University 2372, finally I signed the differences as footnotes. The author tells Ferhat Pasha’s Gence Conquest and the events during the campaign. Gence Conquest -Declaration consists of eight baps and an epilogue, these are the subject titles and chapters: Commander Ferhat Pasha’s East Campaign, The army’s capturing Georgia, Building of Lori and Tomanis castles, Vizier Ferhat Pasha’s anew of being Commander, Gori Campaign and Kazak Han’s submission, Building of Gori and Ahıska Castles, Gence Campaign, Muhammed Kulu Han’s defeat, Prince Haydar’s arriving in Erzurum, Lord Ebu’s-suud’s affirmative fatwa for the war.
