THE EARLY IRON AGE CEMETERIES OF THE LAKE VAN BASIN: AN OVERVIEW OF BURIAL TRADITION OF PRE-URARTIANS
(2018) Aynur Özfırat
The aim of this article is to evaluation of the burial tradition of pre-Urartians in the basin of Lake Van. After the Middle Bronze Age, which had a strong pastoral character, and towards the end of the Late Bronze Age, new pottery, architectural and metallurgical traditions, new settlement pattern and new burial customs emerged in the highland of eastern Anatolia in the Early Iron Age. One of the most remarkable changes is the settlement system, great numbers of fortresses and their cemeteries in the highlands and foothills have been recorded in eastern Anatolia which is also the case southern Caucasia and northwestern Iran. A ruling elite together with a hierarchical social structure and the steps towards the sedentary life started to form around the socio-economic centers, a lifeway between pastoralism and sedentary had taken place in the whole region. Lake Van Basin is the most investigated area, excavations at cemeteries of Ernis (Ünseli) Karagündüz, Yoncatepe, Dilkaya, and a great number of cemeteries which is mainly connected with the highland fortresses found in the survey represent the Early Iron Age burial tradition in the basin. The graves and stelae from Hakkari are quite remarkable finds of the pre-Urartian elite, or the rulers of Uruatri and Nairi lands. This paper also emphasizes the role of Early Iron Age investigations in the basin which is important for the foundation period of the Urartian Kingdom as well as understanding the local polities of pre-Urartians.
In Pursuit of Regional Hegemony: How Iran Is Using the IRGC to Resist U.S. Influence
(Seta Foundation, 2024) Kazdal, Melıh
Zionism and Academic Hegemony: The Intersection of Power, Knowledge, and Suppression in the United States Universities
(2024) Rakipoğlu, Mehmet
Bu makale, Siyonizm’in ABD üniversitelerindeki akademik özgürlük ve bilgi üretimi üzerindeki etkilerini eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla incelemektedir. Çalışma, siyasi lobicilik, finansal güç kullanımı ve antisemitizm suçlamalarının, kabul edilebilir söylemi belirleyen bir kültürel hegemonya oluşturmak için stratejik olarak nasıl kullanıldığını vurgulamaktadır. Michel Foucault’nun bilgi-iktidar teorisine—bilgi ve iktidarın birbirini karşılıklı olarak şekillendirdiği anlayışına—ve Antonio Gramsci’nin kültürel hegemonya kavramına—egemen grupların iktidarlarını ideolojik araçlarla nasıl koruduğunu açıklayan teorisine—dayanan bu makale, Siyonist organizasyonların yükseköğretim çerçevelerini, araştırma önceliklerini ve kamusal söylemi nasıl etkilediğini analiz etmektedir. Bu etkiler, genellikle Filistin topraklarının işgali ve insan hakları ihlalleriyle ilgili İsrail politikalarına ve eylemlerine karşı çıkan veya bunları eleştiren perspektiflerin marjinalize edilmesi, susturulması veya gayrimeşru ilan edilmesi şeklinde kendini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, zikredilen dinamikleri somut örneklerle irdelemektedir. Örneğin, Steven Salaita’nın İsrail’in Gazze’deki soykırımını sosyal medyada eleştirmesi sonrasında Illinois Üniversitesi’nde kendisine yapılan iş teklifinin geri çekilmesi, Siyonist lobiciliğin ve bağışçı baskılarının üniversite yönetimlerini, akademik atamaları ve akademik ortamlardaki ifade özgürlüğünü doğrudan nasıl etkileyebileceğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, ABD’deki çeşitli önde gelen üniversitelerde, Filistin haklarını savunan öğrenci ve akademisyenlerin susturulması ve cezalandırılması gibi örnekler, akademik söylemi kontrol altına almaya yönelik daha geniş ve sistematik çabaları gözler önüne sermektedir. Bu vakaları inceleyen makale, Siyonizm’in etkisinin yalnızca münferit olaylarla sınırlı kalmadığını, aksine akademik özgürlüğün kısıtlandığı yaygın bir atmosfer yarattığını ortaya koymaktadır. Özgür düşüncenin ve eleştirel sorgulamanın merkezleri olması gereken üniversiteler, giderek muhalefetin bastırıldığı ve ideolojik uyumun dayatıldığı mekânlara dönüşmektedir. Bu çalışma, Siyonizm’in ABD’deki entelektüel ortamı şekillendiren mekanizmalarının daha derin bir şekilde anlaşılmasına ve açık tartışma ile eleştirel akademik çalışmaları kısıtlayan güç yapılarının nasıl pekiştirildiğine dair bir farkındalık oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Gastronomy Scholars’ Perspectives towards the Gastronomy Term: A Metaphorical Analysis
(2019) Seyitoğlu, Faruk
The purpose of this paper is to examine gastronomy scholars’ perspectives onto gastronomy term. By adopting qualitative research method, content analysis was utilized. The data were drawn from interviews with 29 scholars from tourism faculties in seven Turkish universities. After content analysis, the metaphors were put forward by the interviewees categorized into different groups such as tangible attributes, intangible attributes, living beings, food and nature, places and miscellaneous comparisons. Gastronomy and tourism scholars have yet to study the potentially useful applications of metaphors empirically. This study thus intends to fill a gap in the existing literature.

(2015) Hala Hassan El Sayed; Mona Mohamed El-shafei; Lokman Toprak
Ergenlerde görülen beslenme alışkanlıkları ve uygulamaları veya yeme alışkanlıkları onların sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilmektedir. Alkolsüz içecekler, tatlı içecekler, fast food tüketiminin aşırı düzeylere varması alımı, meyve, sebze, tam tahıllı gıdalar, süt ürünleri ve diğer kalsiyum katkılı gıdaların yetersiz alımı; düşük düzeylerde egzersiz yapımı ile artan obezite oranları ile ortaya çıkan olumsuz sağlık sonuçları; bu yaş grubunun beslenme ve yaşam tarzı özelliklerini yeniden gözden geçirmelerinin bir ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma Mısır, Suudi Arabistan ve Türkiye arasında karşılaştırmalı bir araştırma olarak farklı kültürlerde ağırlık fazlalığı ya da eksikliğinde (BMI) üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarının etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma 450 öğrencinin (her bölgeden 150) beslenme alışkanlıklarını ortaya çıkaracak bir anket formu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. BMI (ağırlık / boy2 kg / m 2) ölçülmüş (tüm ölçümler çalışma bölgelerinde de aynı koşullar altında alınmıştır) ve göreceli ağırlık endeksi olarak kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar Suudi Arabistanlı öğrencilerin yaklaşık yarısının (% 43.33) kilolu, Türkiye’deki numunelerin çoğunluğunun (% 75.3) normal kilolu olduğunu, Mısır'da ise özellikle kadın katılımcıların 50.67%’sinin kilolu olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Öte yandan sonuçlar; bütün faydalarına rağmen kahvaltının en sık atlanan öğün olması gibi üniversite öğrencileri arasında pek çok sağlıksız beslenme alışkanlıkları olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarını değiştirecek, sağlıklı gıda ve diyet çeşitliliğini tanıtacak; eğitim programları önermektedir.

The Effect of Talaromyces funiculosus ST976 Isolated from Pistacia vera Rhizosphere on Phosphorus Solubility in Soil Samples with Different Physicochemical Properties
(Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Tarım ve Doğa Dergisi, 2022) Derviş, Sibel; Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Eren, Abdullah; Özer, Göksel
In this study, a total of 78 Talaromyces isolates were isolated from the pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) rhizosphere heavily infested with Neoscytalidium spp. The identification studies of the four representative isolates based on morphological and molecular methods showed that all isolates were T. funiculosus. The 575 bp long sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region of T. funiculosus isolate ST976, selected as a representative of the isolates, was deposited in GenBank under accession no. MW130842. The Maximum Likelihood tree clustered the ST976 isolate with reference T. funiculosus isolates derived from the GenBank nucleotide database. The phosphorus dissolution ability of ST976 isolate was determined by an experiment using six soil samples collected from agricultural lands in various locations of Şanlıurfa province. The pH of the soil samples taken varied between 7.21 and 7.88. As a result of the analysis performed with the addition of the isolate ST976 applied to soil samples with different soil structures (Clay and Clay-Loam), it was determined that the isolate ST976 dissolved 109–311% more phosphorus than the control sample. The study is one of the first studies proving the ability of T. funiculosus isolate ST976 to dissolve phosphorus without any additives to soil solution was determined.
Field Performance of Some Soybean [Glycine Max (L.) Merr.] Cultivars Sown on Different Dates
(2023) Izgı, Mehmet Necat
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], with high oil and protein content, is one of the world's main nutritional sources and millions of hectares are given over to its cultivation. Intensive farming and producing multiple crops per year (such as second-crop soybean cultivation), can improve natural resource exploitation and productivity. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of some soybean cultivars on yield and yield components in lowland conditions in the Mardin province over the main-crop and second-crop seasons. This research was carried out in the lowland conditions of Mardin province in Türkiye in 2018 and 2019. The A-3127, Arısoy, Ataem-7, Blaze, Bravo, Cinsoy, Gapsoy-16, Lider, May-5312, Nova, SA-88, and Umut-2002 cultivars were used as plant material in this research. Since the region is suitable for growing double crops per year, soybean field trials were carried out both as a main crop and as a second-cropped. Sowing dates and 12 different soybean cultivars were taken as factors in the research. The first sowing took place on April 16, the second on April 25, the third on June 15, and the fourth on June 30 in both years of the research. Two sowings were the main crop, while the other two were second-crop. According to the results, the A-3127 (3700 kg ha-1) and Gapsoy-16 (3694 kg ha-1) cultivars produced the highest seed yield. The Arısoy (676 kg ha-1), Gapsoy-16 (676 kg ha-1), A-3127 (662 kg ha-1), and Cinsoy (662 kg ha-1) cultivars produced the most oil yield. The study determined that early sowing increases overall yield while late sowing decreases seed yield significantly (on average by 30%). For this region and in areas with similar agricultural environments where double-crop can be grown each year, early cultivars for a second crop may be recommended to reduce the vegetable food and oil deficit.
Redefining Security in the Middle East: Representation of Security as an Emancipatory Discourse in the capernaum Film
(Istanbul Univ, Fac Communication, 2020) Isik, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Emrah
The Middle East is considered as a marginalized geography and difficult to understand for Western countries due to an orientalist and postcolonial perspective. Today, Lebanon, which offers an important opportunity to understand the Middle East from the political, economic, sociological and security perspectives, is a country facing various problems such as poverty, economic and political instability, ethnic and sectarian conflicts, uncontrolled migration movements and gender inequalities. Capernaum is a significant and effective example in terms of reflecting different living conditions and security perceptions in the Lebanon. In this study, how the security is defined through the eyes of the people from the Lebanon and how the perception of threats is shaped by the security issues of Lebanon are examined through the compelling Capernaum (2018) film of Lebanese female director and screenwriter Nadine Labaki. In this respect, the qualitative thematic content analysis of the film is carried out and it is revealed how the economic, social and religious problems of the Lebanese individuals evaluated in the context of human security are reflected in the film. As a result of the analysis, Capernaum is an exemplary film in terms of addressing the security concerns of Lebanon with a human security and gender perspectives. However, the film cannot address the causes, historical and social origins of these problems adequately, so, this might cause disconnections in the imagination of the audience.

A Very Rare Presentation Of Tubal-Ovarian Torsion in a Patient with Endometrioma: A Case Report
(2024) Kurnuc, Fatma; Balsak, Deniz
Endometriozis üreme çağındaki kadınlarda giderek daha fazla teşhis edilmekte ve kadınların %10’unu etkilediği tahmin edilmektedir. Nadir vakalarda endometrioma akut karın tablosuyla birlikte görülür. Ancak bu hastalarda endometrioma ile adneksal torsiyon çok nadirdir. 38 yaşında bir kadın hasta, 4 saattir başlayan aralıklı sol kasık ağrısıyla acilen kadın doğum polikliniğine başvurdu. Hastada aralıklı ağrı ve eşlik eden kusma vardı. Biyokimyasal inceleme normal aralıklarda değerlendirildi. Yaşamsal bulgularında anormallik yoktu. Ultrason görüntülemede endometrioma ve sol adneksal boşlukta heterojen görüntüler ortaya çıktı. Endometrioma torsiyonu düşünülerek acil cerrahiye karar verildi. Laparoskopi planlandı. Operasyon sırasında sol overde endometrioma ve tuba-ovarian torsiyon görüldü. Operasyon sırasında detorsiyone edildi. Endometrioma kist eksizyonu yapıldı. Hasta iyileşmek üzere hastaneden taburcu edildi. Endometrioma vakalarında torsiyon çok nadirdir. Endometriomalar genellikle komşu yapılara sıkıca yapışıktır ve bu nedenle, bu kistlerdeki torsiyon oranı hakkında yeterli veri olmamasına rağmen, adneksal torsiyona neden olma olasılıkları daha düşük görünmektedir. Bu olgu sunumuyla, endometriomadaki torsiyon hakkındaki literatüre katkıda bulunmayı düşündük. Endometrioma hastalarının akut karınla acil servise başvurduklarında çok nadir görülebilen tuba-ovaryan torsiyona sahip oldukları akılda tutulmalıdır.
Domestic violence and affectıng factors among married women aged between 15-49 Years
(Medicine Science, 2020) Çifçi, Sema; Açık, Yasemin
Domestic violence against women is an important public health problem commonly encountered in all societies, manifesting itself as a negative outcome of gender inequality. This study has been carried out in Mardin province to determine the prevalence of exposure to domestic violence among women aged between 15-49 years and the affecting factors. The population of the study consisted of the women aged between 15-49 years living in Mardin and 1111 people were selected for sampling. Through repeated visits, 1064 people were included in the study (the responsiveness rate was 95.8%). x² (chi-square) test was used in the statistical analysis. The average age of women was 32.5 ± 8.2. 29.4% of them were illiterate. 47.5% of them were married by prearrangement. 25.9% of them were subjected to physical violence by their father and 37.6% by their mother in the past. The women were exposed to physical (44.5%), verbal/emotional (56.4%), economic (37.7%), and sexual violence (14.8%) at least once in their lifetime. 13.2% of them are still exposed to domestic physical violence, 15.8% to verbal/emotional violence, and 7.3% to sexual violence. As the educational levels, socioeconomic status, and monthly income of women and their husbands decrease, the rate of exposure to violence increases (p <0.05). The factors such as being married by bride exchange and bride price, having a familial history of honor killing, living with a co-wife, experiencing childhood violence, having an alcoholic and gambling husband increase the rate of exposure of women to violence (p <0.05). Domestic violence against women was found to be significantly high in Mardin province. Considering the socio-economic and cultural conditions of the region, legal and social regulations should be enforced in cooperation with non-governmental organizations, public institutions as well as local and national press.

Anthrozoological study on the agro-pastoral societies of Kızıltepe, Southeast Anatolia
(İnsan ve İnsan, 2018) Şanlı, Süleyman; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
Since the origin, humans have been depended and formed mixtures of complex relationships with nonhuman animals. These mutualistic relationships eventually intensified following the animal domestication. Southeast Anatolia is one of the important regions where the first domestication of sheep, goat, cattle, and pig occurred as well as domestic herds have been fundamental in every socio-cultural aspect in the region until today. Therefore, Southeast Anatolia has been an ideal place for pastoral and anthrozoological study. Through fieldworks and exploratory case studies in agro-pastoral societies in Kızıltepe, we found certain sheep, goats, and cattle are capable of distinguishing and recognizing human and other cross-species individuals as like they do in their own species. Alongside of providing protein, wealth and social status, herd animals in Kızıltepe also possess deep affection and emotional bonds with human individuals as like as pets in urban societies. On the other hand, we do not observe any gender or sibling effect in children-animal bond which was focused in some contemporary studies. Our overall observations and findings also demonstrate some intangible culture cores in Southeast Anatolia which is promoted mainly by the complex relationships between human and their domestic herds.
Nitrate and Nitrite Levels of Potable Water in Mardin, Turkey
(2020) Gürbüz, Semra
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the presence and levels of nitrate and nitrite in potable water in Mardin. A total of 118 water samples, collected from 64 taps, 41 wells and 13 water tanks within the city center and districts of Mardin, were used in this study. The nitrate and nitrite analyses were performed by spectrophotometric method. The mean value of nitrate levels was found as 2.55±3.58 ppm in 31 (26.27%) and nitrite as 0.032±0.091 ppm in 91 of 118 water samples. The mean values of nitrate and nitrite were 2.49±3.65 ppm and 0.033±0.072 ppm in taps; 2.00±3.09 ppm and 0.035±0.125 ppm in wells; 3.93±4.71 ppm and 0.018±0.017 ppm in tank water respectively. One (0.85%) of analyzed water samples had nitrite level (0.72 ppm) higher than maximum legal limit. There was no statistically significant difference between the samples taken from taps, wells and water tanks for presence of nitrate and nitrite.According to the results of the study, although a general risk was not determined in terms of nitrate and nitrite levels in the water in Mardin, it is thought that monitoring is important for the detection of individual contaminations.
Corporate Governance and Performance of Islamic Banks: A Comparative Study of Banks in Malaysia and the GCC Countries
(Anemon Muş Alparslan Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, 2020) Önal, Mehmet Maksud
This paper contributes to the literature by discussing the relationship between corporate governance and performance of Islamic banks operating in Malaysia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The effects of board independence and board size on performance are examined by using relevant analyses. The paper finds that there was a significant and negative relationship between ROA and board independence and it was also a significant predictor of ROE. Malaysian banks were performed better than the GCC banks by comparing the average ROE and ROA and they also had more independent directors. According to the univariate test results, Malaysian banks were performed better than the GCC banks in terms of ROE and Tobin`s Q.

Ovarian Teratoma Torsion With Ca 19-9 Elevation: Case Report
(2025) Kurnuc, Fatma; Balsak, Deniz
Ovarian torsion is a rare gynecologic emergency and causes serious medical problems. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is not always easy. Ovarian torsion is the most common complication with a confusing ultrasonographic diagnosis. Although the demonstration of blood flow by Doppler ultrasonography does not rule out the diagnosis of ovarian torsion, a serum marker with high reliability and sensitivity in the preoperative diagnosis of ovarian torsion has not yet been defined. A 19-year-old G0P0 patient was admitted to our clinic with pelvic pain lasting 1 week. Abdominopelvic ultrasound revealed a 9 cm diameter lobulated cystic lesion in the right adnexa. Abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 90 × 88 mm cystic lesion consisting of heterogeneous solid structures. The left ovary and other intra-abdominal structures were normal. Tumor markers were as follows: CEA: 24.90 U/mL, AFP: 40 U/mL, CA 15-3: 23.4 U/mL, CA 19-9: 383 U/mL. The patient's MRI report was suspicious for malignancy, and the diagnosis of torsion could not be clarified. As the patient’s condition progressed, laparotomy was decided upon, and a frozen examination was requested. Cystectomy was performed after the findings were compatible with a dermoid cyst. CA 19-9 is a tumor marker that is increased, especially after ovarian teratoma torsion, and may be useful in diagnosing clinical teratoma torsion. However, larger studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Evaluation of the Antioxidant Potency of Seseli L. Species (Apiaceae)
(Turkish Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020) Önder, Alev; Çınar, Ahsen Sevde; Yılmaz Sarıaltın, Sezen; İzgi, Mehmet Necat; Çoban, Tülay
Objectives: In the present study, the antioxidant potency of ethyl acetate (AcOEt) and methanol (MeOH) extracts from the aerial parts of Seseli L. species was investigated for the first time. Materials and Methods: Seseli species L. such as Seseli andronakii Woronow ex Schischk., S. campestre Besser, S. corymbosum Boiss. & Heldr., S. gummiferum subsp. gummiferum Pall. ex Sm., S. hartvigii Parolly & Nordt, S. libanotis (L.) W.Koch, S. petraeum M.Bieb., S. peucedanoides (M.Bieb.) Koso-Pol., S. resinosum Freyn & Sint., and S. tortuosum L. growing in Turkey were collected and evaluated for their antioxidant capacity by using 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation (LPO) inhibition methods. Results: The highest activities as a scavenger of DPPH radicals were found in the AcOEt extracts of S. peucedanoides (M.Bieb.) Koso-Pol (IC50=0.49 mg/mL), and S. libanotis (IC50=0.75 mg/mL); α-tocopherol was used as a positive control. On the other hand, in the LPO assay, the highest activities were determined in AcOEt and MeOH extracts (at 5 mg/mL) of S. tortuosum and S. libanotis (84-94%). Conclusion: This report gives important information about the antioxidant capacity of Seseli L. species. This research on antioxidant capacity proves that the use of some species used in Eastern Anatolia (in salads) is correct. With this screening study performed in Seseli L. species growing in Turkey, in the future, it is planned to isolate antioxidant compounds from the most active strains of Seseli L.
The protective effects of different parts of hypericum perforatum extracts on human mononuclear leukocytes in hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage and their phenolic contents
(Medicine Science, 2022) Aktepe, Necmettin; Keskin, Cumali; Baran, Ayşe; Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
Oxidative stress is the state of the formation of some pathophysiological condition with the excessive increase of the normal amount of free radicals in the organism. In this study, the in vivo genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects of methanol and water extract and phenolic content of Hypericum perforatum flower, fruit, and seed methanol extracts were analyzed. HPLC was used to evaluate the quantities of 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, hydroxycinnamic acid, O-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and catechin in the methanol extracts. The alkaline comet test was used to assess the DNA damage and protective effects of H. perforatum flower fruit, seed methanol, and water extract on human mononuclear leukocytes. The amounts of catechin and caffeic acid in seed methanol extract were found as quite high when compared to other extracts. The highest protective effects were seen at 10 and 50μg/ml concentrations of seed methanol extract. The optimum doses of fruit, flower, and seed extracts obtained from H. perforatum neutralized the genotoxic effect. This effect is stronger in seed methanol extract than other extracts. We suggest that more research is needed to evaluate the effects of H. perforatum phytochemicals in vitro and in vivo.
