    Türkiye Klinikleri Tıp Bilimleri DergisiObjective: Low back pain is a common public health problem and causes serious socioeconomic losses. The most common etiology is mechanical in origin. Noninvasive treatment methods, such as medication, exercise, and physical therapy, should be applied first. The most commonly used methods among percutaneous interventions are prolotherapy, facet joint corticosteroid injection, and medial branch blocks. In our study, the effectiveness of facet joint injection and prolotherapy procedures was evaluated in patients with chronic low back pain using a visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Material and Methods: Data from 178 patients who underwent facet joint injection and prolotherapy with a diagnosis of chronic low back pain in our clinic between 2013 and 2019 were evaluated. In the study, 20 mg of methylprednisolone combined with 2-4 mL of 0.25 bupivacaine was used for facet joint injection. 5 mL of 25 dextrose solution was used for prolotherapy injection to the faset capsule. The VAS and ODI results were evaluated and analyzed before and after the procedures. Results: Preintervention VAS scores were higher in patients who received facet joint injections than in those who received prolotherapy (p<0.001). Facet treatment significantly decreased VAS scores on the first day (p<0.001). Prolotherapy became a more effective treatment later, as reflected by VAS scores at 3 months (p<0.001). The 3-month ODI scores were higher in patients treated with prolotherapy (p<0.001). Conclusion: Facet joint injection is considered more effective at relieving symptoms of back pain early in the condition, but prolotherapy provided more benefit, according to long-term VAS scoresAmaç: Bel ağrısı, toplumda yaygın görülen bir sağlık sorunudur ve ciddi sosyoekonomik kayıplara neden olur. Etiyolojide en sık neden mekanik bel ağrısıdır. İlaç, egzersiz ve fizik tedavi gibi girişimsel olmayan yöntemler öncelikle uygulanmalıdır. Perkütan girişimler arasında en sık kullanılan yöntemler; proloterapi, faset eklem kortikosteroid enjeksiyonu, mediyal dal bloklarıdır. Çalışmamızda, kronik bel ağrılı hastalarda yapılan faset eklem enjeksiyonu ve proloterapi işlemlerinin etkinliği ve farklılıklarını vizüel analog skala (VAS) ve Oswestry Yetersizlik İndeksi [Oswestry disability index (ODI)] kullanarak, geriye dönük olarak inceledik. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kliniğimizde 2013 ve 2019 yılları arasında kronik bel ağrısı tanısı ile faset eklem enjeksiyonu veya proloterapi uygulanan 178 hastanın verileri değerlendirildi. Çalışmada, faset eklem enjeksiyonu için 2-4 mL %0,25 bupivakain ile karıştırılarak, 20 mg metilprednizolon kullanıldı. Proloterapi enjeksiyonu için faset eklem kapsülüne 5 mL %25 dekstroz solüsyonu kullanıldı. Hastaların VAS ve ODI skorları, işlem öncesi ve sonrası takip dönemlerinde değerlendirilerek analiz edildi. Bulgular: Faset eklem enjeksiyonu uygulanan olgularda işlem öncesi VAS değerleri proloterapi alanlara göre daha yüksekti (p<0,001). Faset tedavisi, 1. gün VAS skorlarını belirgin düşürdü (p<0,001). Üçüncü aydaki VAS skorlarına bakıldığında proloterapi daha etkili bir tedavi haline geldi (p<0,001). Proloterapi uygulanan hastalarda, 3. ay ODI skorları istatistiksel olarak yüksekti (p<0,001). Sonuç: Faset eklem enjeksiyonunun, enjeksiyon sonrası erken dönemde hastalığın semptomlarının giderilmesinde daha etkili olduğu düşünülürken, 3. ay takipleri incelendiğinde proloterapinin uzun dönem VAS sonuçları üzerinde istatistiksel olarak daha anlamlı fayda sağladığı görülmektedir

    &lt;p&gt;We report the synthesis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional&nbsp;porous polyphenylenes (2D/3D-pPPs) via the Diels-Alder&nbsp;cycloaddition polymerization reaction. The resulting 2D and 3D-pPPs showed surface areas up to 1553 m2 g-1, pore volumes of 1.45&nbsp;cm3 g-1 and very high H2 uptake capacities of 7.4 and 7.1 wt.% at 77K, respectively, along with a competitive high-pressure CO2 and CH4&nbsp;uptake performance.&lt;/p&gt

    A Study on the Advertisement Planning and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Advertising

    Bir reklamın değerlendirilmesinde uygun yöntem seçimi, reklamın iletişim süreci göz önünde bulundurduktan sonra yapılmalıdır. Reklam henüz yayınlanmadıysa, tasarım aşamasında ya da tamamlanmış olmasına göre değişen bir takım pre – test yöntemleri uygulanabilir. Reklam medyada yayınlanmaya başlandıysa, çeşitli rating veya baskı-dağıtım sayıları hedef kitleye ulaşım oranı hakkında firmalara fikir verebilmektedir. Firma, reklam belirli bir oranda yayınlandıktan sonra ise tüketicinin algısındaki etkilerini bir anket ile öğrenebilmektedir. Reklamın satışlara etkisi ise firmanın tarihsel satış rakamlarına bakılarak kıyas yapılabilmektedir. Ancak reklam izlendikten sonra ürün/hizmetin hemen satın alınamamakla birlikte, reklam tüketiciyi daha sonra satın alma davranışına yöneltebilmekte ya da markanın değerine katkıda bulunabilmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmada mevcut reklam ve medya değerlendirme ölçütleri değerlendirilmiş ve bu yöntemlerin derlenmesinden yola çıkılarak televizyonda yayınlanan bir reklam filmi için bir post-test uygulanmıştır. Reklam etkinlik incelemesi, reklam veren firmanın pazarlama sistemine geribildirim sağlayacak şekilde tasarlanmış olup sayısal veriler elde etmek amaçlanmıştır. Reklam değerlendirmesi Internet kullanıcıları üzerinde yapılmıştır. Deneklere, reklamı akılda kalıcı bulması, satın alma isteği uyandırması, marka imajına uygun bulması, dikkat çekici bulması, itici/soğuk bulması, marka ile kendini özdeşleştirmesi, aynı sektördeki markaların reklamlarından farklı bulması, marka ile ilgili bilgi verici olması, zevkle seyredilmesi ve birden fazla izlenebileceği önermeleri yapılmış olup bir likert ölçek yardımı ile bu önermelere ne derecede katıldığı sorulmuştur. Likert ölçeğe sayısal ağırlık verilerek bu kriterlerin sayısal değer alması sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen sayısal veriler üzerinden demografik kırılımlar arasındaki farklar incelenmiş ve çeşitli yaş ve sosyo ekonomik gruplarda veya farklı cinsiyetlerde reklam ile ilgili önermelerin farklı derecelerde algılanabildiği ortaya konmuştur. Bu araştırmada bir reklamın etkinliğinin düşük maliyetli olarak ölçülebileceği ortaya konmuştur. Araştırma, düzenli olarak yapıldığı ve firmanın performans sistemine entegre edildiği takdirde sistemin kendi kendini yönetmesi de söz konusu olacaktır.The appropriate evaluation method for an advertisement depends on the development phase of the ad copy. If the advertisement has not been aired / published yet, certain preteding techniques can be utilized depending upon whether the ad copy is in the design stage or completed. If the advertisement has been published, the rating or publication/distribution figures could be used as indicators of target audience exposure rate. After the launch, impacts on consumer perceptions can be determined via survey studies. On the other hand, sales effects of advertising can be determined based on the comparison with historical figures. And, yet, in certain cases, the advertisement may not have immediate sales effects and just indirectly influrence sales through, for instance, brand value. The current study reviews extant copy/testing methods in advertising and presents a post-test application for a TV commercial. The evaluation technique has been designed to provide feedback to the marketing system of the firm based on quantitative data. The survey was administered through internet. Variable to measure consumer perceptions on the advertisement contains: ad recall, purchasing stimulation, matching with brand image, none/attractiveness, attention gathering, brand identification, differentiation from other advertisements in the same category/industry, hedonic pleasure, and willingness to reexpose oneself. These variables agreement/disagreement is determined based on 5-Likert scale measurement. Based on these measurements, perceptual differences were revealed across different demographic groups, particularly in terms of gender, age, and socioeconomic status. In addition, the study reveals that advertising effectiveness can be measured with reasonable cost. Should similar measurements can be conducted in a periodic/regular systematic approach and be integrated into the firms&amp;amp;#8217; overall performance evaluation system, the system could indeed become a self-managed process
