Cannabis abuse and vulnerability to psychosis: Targeting preventive services
No full textCannabis is the most widely used illicit substance in the world and due to the high levels of use observed among young people with psychosis, most research has focused on the causal relationship between cannabis use and mental health problems. Despite a large interest in developing intervention models to target this group, there are as yet no established and effective methods of prevention and intervention focusing on cannabis use. In this paper we present the available evidence for the effectiveness of substance use treatments in patients with co-morbid severe mental illness, as well as exploring the prevention and early intervention initiatives for substance use in the general population. © 2012 Bentham Science Publishers

Yeni Türkü grubu, 1978 yazında Derya Köroğlu, Selim Atakan ve Zerrin Atakan tarafından
kurulmuştur. Bu grup, Türkiye’yi derinden etkileyen 12 Eylül Darbesi’nin sebep olduğu
sosyal ve siyasal ortam içinde sanatını icra etmiş ve dönemin koşullarından ötürü tepki ve
otosansüre maruz kalmıştır. Bu etkiler sanatsal kimliklerinde değişime uğramalarını ve daha
kapalı anlatımları benimsemelerini gerektirmiştir. Darbenin baskı ortamında neredeyse
ayrılma noktasına gelen grup, askeri rejim ortadan kalkınca tekrar albüm çıkarmaya
başlamıştır. Parçalarında anlam yüklü benzetmeler ve göndermelere çokça yer veren Yeni
Türkü, darbe sonrası popülerlik kazanmaya devam etmiştir. Bu araştırmada grup üyesi Erkin
Hadimoğlu’ndan alınan bilgiler ışığında grubun yaşadığı sıkıntılar, sarf ettikleri çabalar ve
ortaya koydukları sanat hakkında bulgulara yer verilmiştir.The Yeni Türkü group, which today consists of Derya Köroğlu, Erkin Hadimoğlu, Furkan
Bilgi and Serdar Barçın, was founded in the summer of 1978 by Derya Köroğlu, Selim
Atakan and Zerrin Atakan. This group performed its art in the social and political
environment caused by the September 12 Coup, which deeply affected Turkey, and was
exposed to reaction and self-censorship due to the conditions of this period. These effects
required them to undergo changes in their artistic identities and adopt more closed
expressions, but they did not stop producing despite the effects and consequences of the coup.
Yeni Türkü, which includes a lot of meaning-laden similes and references in its pieces,
continued to gain popularity after the coup. In this research, in the light of the information
received from the group member Erkin Hadimoğlu, the findings about the difficulties
experienced by the group, the efforts they made and the art they produced were included.by İbrahim Mert Öztürk
The Analysis and Forecasting of Stock Price with Deep Learning
No full textStock forecasting is one of the most popular topics nowadays. The dynamic, noisy and long-term dependence of stock market data makes its future prediction more difficult. This requires the use of additional data for successful prediction. In this study, the closing values of the stock data are predicted on a weekly basis by using the extended data set using various technical indicators and different independent variables. AAPL, NVDA, and GOOG stocks in the NASDAQ index were studied for the experiments. 20 different technical indicators obtained from daily stocks; different feature selection techniques were applied and then used as a feature vector for each day of the data. With the calculated technical indicators, a high dimensional feature space was created for data points that normally cover noise. We compare a multi layered Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, which we believe has achieved consistent results for prediction stock closing values, as well as a Long Short-Term Memory with Peephole (LST MP) approach, which can cope well with long-term dependencies such as stock market data
Is cannabis neurotoxic for the healthy brain? A meta-analytical review of structural brain alterations in non-psychotic users
No full textDespite growing research in the field of cannabis imaging, mostly in those with a psychotic illness, the possible neurotoxic effects of smoked cannabis on the healthy brain have yet to be fully understood. There appears to be a need to evaluate the existing imaging data on the neuroanatomical effects of cannabis use on non-psychotic population

No full textOtomotiv Sektörü için regülasyon kavramı, araçların hangi özelliklere uygun olarak üretilmesi gerektiği ile ilgili çevresel, yapısal tanım ve kısıtlamaları araç üzerinde kullanılan parça ve teknolojiye indirgeyen bir yapıdadır. Sektör için bağlayıcı en önemli regülasyon ise çevreye ve insan sağlığına etkisi ve araçların satılabilirliğini direkt etkilemesi nedeniyle gaz salınımı ile ilgili egzoz emisyon değerleridir. Türkiye’de Sanayi Bakanlığı, otomotiv üreticilerine hangi tarihlerde hangi emisyon seviyesinde araç satılabileceğini duyurmakta ve sonrasında kontrollerini yapmaktadır. Emisyon seviyesinin iyileştirilmesi daha iyi bir teknoloji ve yüksek maliyet gerektirmektedir. Otomotiv sektörü temsilcileri, Sanayi Bakanlığı’na başvuruda bulunup emisyon seviyesi geçişinin daha ileri bir tarihe ertelenmesini isteyebilmektedirler. Bu faaliyetler için sektörün ciddi bir medya ve sivil toplum kuruluşu (STK) desteğine ihtiyacı bulunmaktadır. Desteğin sağlanabilmesi için de yapılacak lobi faaliyetlerine kaynak ayrılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, otomotiv sektörünün Türkiye’deki öncü firmalarından birinde, emisyon seviyesi geçişinin ertelenmesi için yapılan çalışmalara ayrılacak kaynak ve üretim planlarının şekillendirilmesi konusunda Ek Bilgi kullanımı ile verilebilecek kararlar analiz edilmektedir.For automotive sector the term of regulation is used for a structure that is a technical term to explain the parts of the automobile and condition of the production environment. The most important regulation term is the gas emission to control the environmental effect of the automobile in the air pollution because human beings are affected directly from the air pollution by breathing. In Turkey the Ministry of Industry check the emission level and present the acceptable level of gas emission from each automobile. To improve the gas emission level firms need high technological systems and it costs very high. Because of the high costs the automobile manufacturers want to delay the date of new level regulations from the Ministry of Industry by the help of media and non-governmental organizations. To get the help of media and non-governmental organizations the automobile sectors firms need extra budgets. In this study the decisions analysis with additional information of one of the leader automobile firm in Turkey, to choose how to use budget for getting help of the non-governmental organizations and media.İstanbul Ticaret Üniversites
