There is only one study in the literature. We predict that it will pass through the literature as a new method that can be used in determining fetal sex especially in first trimester. Introduction: Determination of fetal gender before birth has been a matter of curiosity for both the family and the clinician. In the presence of gender-linked genetic disease, it becomes an obligation instead of an interest. The aim of this study was to determine the fetal gender accurately at first trimester with anogenital distance (AGD) and to investigate the correlations of nuchal translucency (NT), fetal heart rate (FHR), and crown-rump length (CRL) with AGD. Materials and methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, AGD measurement was performed in 111 patients with singleton pregnancy from 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days (CRL 45-84 mm). Measurements of AGD >= 4.8 mm were identified for males, and AGD Results: Genders were demonstrated accurately for males as 76.7% and for females as 97.1%. The mean value of AGD was 3.6 mm for females and 5.1 mm for males. There were no relations between fetal gender and FHR and also NT. Conclusions: Gender can be detected with great accuracy in gestations between 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days by using AGD. CRL and gestational week (GW) were determined as nonsignificant predictors of fetal gender by AGD measurement. In order to obtain more accurate results with AGD, consideration of further studies with larger series in different races is recommended

Antropolog Lloyd A. Fallers’ın 1960’lardaki Türkiye çalışmaları
No full textDue to the influence of the modernization paradigm, as the main axis of the American social sciences during the Cold War, and since the 1950s, the field of anthropology has shown interest in the developing nation-states in addition to primitive societies. Within this context, Turkey was one of the ‘new nations’ to become a potential object of analysis for Western anthropologists as Turkey was already praised as an exemplary democracy in the political science literature. As a result, for the first time in the history of American anthropology, a series of ethnographies pertaining to Turkey were generated in the 1960s. This article brings to light the academic portrait of the anthropology professor Lloyd A. Fallers at Chicago University and his studies on Turkey. Fallers worked on Turkey for more than ten years, did long-term fieldwork during his residences in Turkey for a total of two years, and supervised dissertations about Turkey. Fallers’ work, which has mostly remained unpublished due to his early death, is analyzed by relying on the archives deposited in the Chicago University library and on oral history interviews conducted by the author with people who had known Fallers.Science Academy in TurkeyPublisher versio
Does multifollicular development and number of intermediate follicles contribute to the effect of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone gel in intrauterine insemination cycles?
No full textTokgoz, Vehbi Yavuz/0000-0002-4113-385X; sipahi, mehmet/0000-0001-8344-9863WOS: 000475253200001PubMed: 31237153Luteal phase deficiency as a result of multifollicular development which produces supraphysiological progesterone and estradiol levels and benefit of luteal phase support have been proven in assisted reproductive technique (ART) treatment. But, there were some controversial results in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles whether luteal phase support (LPS) with progesterone have an impact on pregnancy outcome. To assess the efficacy of vaginal progesterone gel in the gonadotropin-induced IUI cycles, this retrospective data analysis compared the luteal phase support and control group in terms of clinical pregnancy (CPR) and live birth rates (LBR). In subgroup analysis, multifollicular and monofollicular growth were analyzed separately. In total, after exclusion criteria, 380 IUI cycles were analyzed, cycles were grouped as LPS(+) and LPS(-) with 190 and 190 cycles, respectively. CPR and LBR were comparable between groups (11.6% vs. 10.5, p = .74 and 8.9% vs. 8.4%, p = .75 respectively). Although multifollicular growth demonstrated higher pregnancy outcomes than monofollicular growth, intermediate follicles (14-16 mm) had a positive impact on pregnancy outcome in monofollicular growth like multifollicular subgroup. We found no difference in CPR and LBR according to the luteal phase vaginal progesterone gel. Nevertheless, multifollicular cycles and also monofollicular growth cycles with two and more intermediate follicles may have benefit LPS in gonadotropin-induced IUI cycles
Is ovarian volume a good predictor to determine metabolic syndrome development in polycystic ovary patients
No full textTokgoz, Vehbi Yavuz/0000-0002-4113-385X; Demir, Selim/0000-0002-1863-6280; sipahi, mehmet/0000-0001-8344-9863WOS: 000461905700016PubMed: 30744441The aim of this study was to investigate the findings of ultrasound that could predict the metabolic syndrome (MetS) which may develop in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. A total of 96 consecutive PCOS patients, who were scheduled for any gynaecologic examination from January 2015 to January 2016 and who were eligible for the study, were prospectively enrolled in it. About 15.6% of PCOS patients were diagnosed with MetS. The mean age of the MetS patients and the non-MetS patients were 25.8 and 23.3, respectively (p = .056). The mean ovary volume was calculated as being 11.7 mL in the MetS patients and as 9.6 mL in the non-MetS patients (p = .027). The Doppler and the other ultrasound findings were compared between the groups and no significant difference was observed. When a receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was conducted for the ovarian volume to predict MetS, the area under curve was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.52-0.81). The optimum cut-off point for OV was determined at 9.2 mL, with the sensitivity and specificity of 80.0% and 50.6%, respectively. The risk of developing MetS appears to be higher in PCOS patients with higher OV values.Impact statement What is already known on this subject? Metabolic syndrome is not rare in PCOS patients. There are several studies to specify a predictor for MetS development in PCOS. Most are biochemical predictors, such as hyperandrogenemia, a visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product, adiponectin index and a leptin-to-adiponectin ratio. What do the results of this study add? The ultrasound markers to predict the insulin resistance at PCOS is already used, but are new for predicting MetS.Giresun UniversityGiresun University [SAG-BAP-A-200515-32]The research was supported by Giresun University [SAG-BAP-A-200515-32
PRİZREN’DE YOK OLUP GİDEN OSMANLI İZLERİ: ŞAİP SİPAHİ KONAĞI
No full textPrizren, one of Kosovo's religious cultural political and economic important cities, was founded at the foot of a castle built during the Roman times and also has a rich history that traces the Ottomans in every corner. Many of the most beautiful examples of Ottoman civil architecture was built in Prizren. Within these structures, the Şaip Sipahi mansion, built in 1856, is an important building abandoned to its fate, even if it is a building that has lost its identity today. After being set on fire in Kosovo war in 1999, only the external part of this two-storey mansion, which was abandoned to its fate, was repaired using European Union funds, but all historical sections, decorations were destroyed and the rooms and ceilings were replaced and the Ottoman heritage buildings was tried to be destroyed.
It is aimed to uncover the Şaip Sipahi mansion, which was tried to be identified in Prizren, the Ottoman heritage. This research is expected to shed light on many research and create awareness.
Kosova’nın dini kültürel politik ve ekonomik açıdan önemli şehirlerinden birisi olan Prizren, Romalılar döneminde inşa edilen bir kalenin eteklerinde kurulmuş, aynı zamanda her köşesinde Osmanlı’nın izlerini taşıyan zengin bir tarihe sahiptir. Prizren’de Osmanlı sivil mimarisinin en güzel örneklerinden olan bir çok konak inşa edilmiştir. Bu yapıların içinde; 1856 yılında inşa edilen Şaip Sipahi Konağı bugün kimliğini yitirmiş bir bina da olsa ayakta durmaya çalışan içi harabeye dönmüş bir halde kaderine terk edilmiş önemli bir yapıdır. 1999 yılında Kosova Savaşında ateşe verildikten sonra yıllarca kaderine terk edilen iki katlı bu tarihi konağın, Avrupa Birliği fonlarından faydalanılarak sadece dış kısmı onarılmış fakat onarım adı altında içindeki tüm tarihi bölümler, süslemeler tahrip edilmiş, odalar ve tavanın yeri değiştirilerek bilinçsizce Osmanlı kimliği yok edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Yapılan saha araştırması ile Osmanlı mirası olan Prizren’de kimliksizleştirilmeye çalışılan Şaip Sipahi Konağı’nın gün yüzüne çıkarılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın bundan sonra bir çok araştırmalara ışık tutması ve farkındalık oluşturması beklenmektedir
Granitoyidlere (Gümüşhane, KD Türkiye) Bağlı Gelişen Skarn Cevherleşmelerinin Jeolojisi, Jeokimyası ve Jeokronolojisinin Araştırılması
No full textTÜBİTAK PROJESİ (DEVAM EDİYOR)Bu projede; Doğu Pontidler’in Kuzey-Güney geçiş zonunda Gümüşhane İli Torul İlçesi’ndeki skarn cevherleşmesinin detay jeolojik haritası, mineralojisi, yan kayaç kimyası, mineral parajenezi,oluşum yaşı, oluşum modeli ve kökeni aydınlatılacaktır. Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde, yaygın ve farklı yaşta çok sayıda granitoid bulunmakta ve bunlara skarn yatakları eşlik etmektedir. Bölgedeki granitoidik kayaçlar hakkında çok fazla sayıda çalışma (bu projedeki skarn yatağının civarındaki granitoidler hariç) olmasına karşılık, bu kayaçların etkisiyle oluşan skarn yatakları hakkında ise yok denecek kadar az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Mevcut çalışmalar mineralojik bileşim, cevher türü ve kısmen yan kayaç kimyası ile sınırlıdır. Bu proje kapsamında incelenecek Eğrikar (Torul, Gümüşhane) skarn cevherleşmesindeki minerallerin ve yan kayaçların dokusal, mineralojik ve jeokimyasal özellikleri, sıvı kapanım özellikleri ve kökenlerine yönelik bulgular yeterli değildir. İncelenecek skarn yatağını oluşturan cevherleşmenin oluşum sıcaklığı ve oluşum modeli halen çalışılmamıştır. Bu bağlamda bu projede, tüm kayaç analizleri (ana, iz ve nadir toprak element analizleri), cevher ve skarn mineralleri üzerinde yapılacak detaylı mikrokimyasal çalışmalar, sıvı kapanım çalışmaları ve izotop verileri (C, O, H, S ve Pb izotopları) yardımıyla bu eksikler giderilmeye çalışılacaktır. Ayrıca skarn yataklarının oluşmasına neden olan granitoidik kayaçlara (granit, granodiyorit vb.) ve yan kayaçlara (kireçtaşı, andezit vb.) ait jeokimyasal (ana, iz ve nadir toprak element ve jeokronoloji) verilerin bilinmesi çalışma konusunu oluşturan skarn yatağının kökeni, oluşum sıcaklığı ve yatağın oluşum yaşı hakkında bilgi verecektir. Yatağın yaşı hakkında da genellikle granitoidik kayaca veya yan kayaca dayanılarak bir kabullenme yapılmaktadır. Bunun çok da doğru olduğu düşünülmemektedir. Skarn yatağının oluştuğu yan kayacın yaşının bilinmesi yatağın oluşum yaşının kabullenilmesinde önem arz etmektedir. Bu proje sonuçlarının bölgenin jeolojik evriminin yorumlanmasına birçok yönden katkı sağlayacağı ve ayrıca bu yatakların ekonomik yönünün ortaya çıkarılması açısından da önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Yaklaşık 24 ayda (2 yıl) tamamlanması planlanan bu proje sonucunda tüm verilerin eksiz olarak elde edilmesiyle bölgedeki skarn yataklarının bir kısmının oluşumu ve bölgenin tektonik evrimindeki yeri netlik kazanacak ve yatakların ekonomikliği aydınlatılmış olacaktır.TÜBİTA
Genetic screening of Turkish barley genotypes using simple sequence repeat markers
No full textThirty-four Turkish barley genotypes were differentiated and identified using barley simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Amplification of SSR loci were generated using 17 SSR primers. These SSR primers totally produced 67 alleles ranging from two to six alleles per locus with a mean value of 3.94 alleles per locus. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.507 to 1.000. Maximum genetic similarity was found between Efes-98-Başgül, and among Anadolu-86, Obruk-86, Anadolu-98, Tokak157/37 and Orza-96. Minimum genetic similarity was between Bolayır and Angora. Although SSR markers cannot classify 34 Turkish barley cultivars based on end use, growth habits and row groups, 27 Turkish barley genotypes could be identified uniquely using 17 SSR primers. These results will are useful proves for protecting breeder’s rights and designing new crossings
Kurdish Students' Writing Problems on the Mechanics of English as a Foreign Language
No full textThe present study investigated the type and frequency of the common errors in the written performance of
EFL students in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, considering the correct use of Mechanics of writing, and also
compared the errors made by students in the two groups of Male and Female Kurdish EFL learners. In this
regard using a composition test, the errors made by the participants were analyzed. Moreover the inter-rater
reliability was estimated to ensure the reliability of the instrument and the obtained results, and in order to
add to the reliability and the validity of the results, a checklist was designed, developed and used by the
researcher as a framework for correcting and analyzing the errors made by the students, which contained a
list of the most identified elements of writing mechanics. The results revealed that generally the major
problems of Kurdish students and the most errors they made were on the elements of Capitalization (61%),
Punctuation (88%), and paragraphing (87%). However female students found to have generally much better
performance than the male students in this respect
