Attitudes promoting coping with death anxiety among parents of children with disabilities
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2021) Sakız, Halis; Sakız, Halis; Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Department of Educational Sciences / Eğitim Bilimleri Bölümü; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü
We investigated death anxiety among parents of children with disabilities and its associations with coping attitudes and psycho-demographic factors. Surveys were administered to 382 parents of children who possess a severe disability and data were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that parents experienced high levels of death anxiety; the level of death anxiety changed according to some psycho-demographic factors, such as external support, type of disability, and death-related beliefs; and death anxiety was significantly explained by demographic variables, death-related thoughts, and experiences, and adaptive and maladaptive coping attitudes.

Biography as allegory
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2013) Krausmüller, Dırk; Department of History / Tarih Bölümü
Through comparison with Dante's Divine Comedy and with Late Antique allegorical interpretations of the Bible this article makes the case that Byzantine hagiographers encoded an allegorical dimension into their texts and that they did so in order to make value judgements that complement explicit evaluations of the behaviour of saints.

Bodily boundaries transgressed: corporal alteration through ornamentation in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic at Boncuklu Tarla, Türkiye
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2024) Kodaş, Ergül; Baysal, Emma L.; Ozkan, Kazim; Department of Archaeology / Arkeoloji Bölümü
Lack of contextual evidence for the use of small personal ornaments means that much of our understanding of ornamentation traditions within archaeological cultures is reconstructed from ethnographic comparisons. New in situ finds from the areas around the ears and mouth in burials at Boncuklu Tarla, a Neolithic settlement in Turkiye, add a novel dimension to the interpretation of stone 'tokens' or 'plugs'. This article presents a new typology for these artefacts and argues for their use as ear ornaments or labrets in a practice involving significant and lasting corporal alteration.

(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Kabak, Mehmet; Cilli, Aykut; Kızılırmak, Deniz; Coşkun, Ayşın Şakar; Güler, Nurcan; Çiçek, Sedat; Researchers, Tebveb; Department of Internal Medical Sciences / Dahili Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü
Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease characterized by permanent bronchial wall dilatation. Although it has been known as an orphan disease, it has recently gained attention because of registry-based studies and drug research. Aims: We aimed to use a multicenter database to analyze and compare data regarding the etiology, associated comorbidities, microbiological characteristics, and preventive strategies of bronchiectasis in Türkiye to those of other countries. Study Design: A multicenter prospective cohort study. Methods: The multicenter, prospective cohort study was conducted between March 2019 and January 2022 using the Turkish Adult Bronchiectasis Database, in which 25 centers in Türkiye participated. Patients aged > 18 years who presented with respiratory symptoms such as cough, sputum, and dyspnea and were diagnosed with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis using computed tomography were included in the study. Demographic information, etiologies, comorbidities, pulmonary functions, and microbiological, radiological, and clinical data were collected from the patients. Results: Of the 1,035 study participants, 518 (50%) were females. The mean age of the patients was 56.1 ± 16.1 years. The underlying etiology was detected in 565 (54.6%) patients. While postinfectious origin was the most common cause of bronchiectasis (39.5%), tuberculosis was identified in 11.3% of the patients. An additional comorbidity was detected in 688 (66.5%) patients. The most common comorbidity was cardiovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis was identified in 19.5% of the patients. The most commonly detected microbiological agent was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (29.4%). Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) were used in 70.1% of the patients, and the frequency of exacerbations in the last year was significantly higher in patients using ICS than in nonusers (p < 0.0001). Age [odds ratio (OR): 1.028; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.005-1.051], cachexia (OR: 4.774; 95% CI: 2,054-11,097), high modified medical research council dyspnea scale score (OR: 1,952; 95% CI: 1,459-2,611), presence of chronic renal failure (OR: 4,172; 95% CI: 1,249-13,938) and use of inhaled steroids (OR: 2,587; 95% CI: 1,098-6,098) were significant risk factors for mortality. Mortality rates were higher in patients with COPD than in those with no COPD (21.7-9.1%, p = 0.016). Patients with bronchiectasis and COPD exhibited more frequent exacerbations, exacerbation-related hospitalizations, and hospitalization in the intensive care unit in the previous year than patients without COPD. Conclusion: This is the first multicenter study of bronchiectasis in Türkiye. The study results will provide important data that can guide the development of health policies in Türkiye on issues such as infection control, vaccination, and the unnecessary use of antibiotics and steroids.

(FOOD CHEMISTRY, 2020) Korkmaz, Aziz; Atasoy, Ahmet Ferit; Hayaloglu, Ali Adnan; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Changes in sugars, organic acids and volatile compounds (VC) of red pepper flakes (RPF), traditional (TRI), and industrial (INI) isot peppers were evaluated during one year storage at the room condition. The changes in the flavor components were significantly affected by the production methods and storage time. Glucose content decreased gradually along storage and reduced by about 21.23, 47.22 and 56.65% for TRI, INI and RPF, respectively. However, fructose decreased significantly only in RPF (11.29%). Citric and succinic acids exhibited slight changes, but malic acid showed an increasing trend, especially in RPF (4-fold). Most of the VC in all samples decreased or disappeared after storage. The major quantitative losses in these compounds were found in TRI during the first 3 months as 81.76%. The storage was found to be caused deterioration flavor properties in red pepper spices and revealed the importance of appropriate storage conditions.

The Cittaslow Philosophy in the Context of Sustainable Tourism Development; The Case of Turkey
(Tourism Management, 2014) Ekinci, Mehmet Behzat; Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü
This paper studies the Cittaslow (slow city) philosophy in terms of sustainable tourism development (STD); and in this context research was undertaken for the case of Turkey. Cittaslow, a movement rooted in STD philosophy, aims to encourage the development of tranquil cities already known for their historical, natural, socio-cultural, and touristic features and the intention is to offer a significant contribution to systematic and rapid implementation of STD on a global scale. This paper, which makes a particular study of the practice of STD in Turkey, offers new candidate cities (Uzungöl, Hasankeyf, Safranbolu, Ürgüp, and İznik) and, thus, endeavours to contribute to the spread of STD throughout the whole country. In this study, above-named cities were found to be particularly good candidates for Cittaslow membership. In addition to these: Tatvan, Midyat, Alanya, and Fethiye were also found to be potential Cittaslows even though they fail to meet the population criterion.

Corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1 M HCl with Cyclotrichium niveum as a green inhibitor
(Elsevier, 2024) Yıldız, Reşit; Arslanhan, Selim; Döner, Ali; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Yıldız, Reşit; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü
Recently, green inhibitors are replacing classical inhibitors in the acid cleaning industry due to very low cost, environmentally friendly and none toxic. In this study, Cyclotrichium niveum is used as a potential green corrosion inhibitor to investigate the corrosion behavior of mild steel (MS) in chloride solution using electrochemical, morphological, structural and quantum chemical methods. Fifty-three flavonoids are detected in methanol extract of cyclotrichium niveum by LC/ESI-MS/MS. While icorr values decreased, Rp and inhibition efficiencies values derived from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization resistance (LPR) increased in increasing inhibitor concentrations. Maximum inhibition efficiency is found to be 97.3%, that is the almost highest value, when compared to previous studies and plant extract is classified as a mixed type inhibitor with respect to the potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). The model that best fits the experimental values is the Langmuir isotherm. The temperature effect is also studied in the range of 25–55 ○C. Higher activation energy is obtained in the presence of inhibitor, suggesting that it acts as an efficient inhibitor by forming a physical barrier to the charge and mass transfer reaction, leading to reduction in corrosion rate. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopies showed the more uniform, crack and pits free structure, confirming that there is a protective film over the MS surface for inhibited solution. XPS analysis showed the existence of C, O, and Fe atoms on the MS surface. Quantum chemical calculation manifested the adsorption mechanism associated with the electronic structure of the molecules. The findings of this work can be applicable in chemical cleaning process with acid treatment.

Critical success factors for tourist destination governance in times of crisis: a case study of Antalya, Turkey
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018) Çakar, Kadir; Department of Tourism Management / Turizm İşletmeciliği Bölümü
The aim of this paper is to identify the critical success factors for the development of crisis management and strategy for the governance of the tourist destination of Antalya, Turkey. Data was obtained from in situ interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with the main tourism stakeholders representing both public and private sectors in Antalya. Findings show that the critical success factors of responsiveness, shared roles, strategy formation, and collaboration are vital for effective crisis management. The study also highlighted the fact that in the area of shared roles and collaboration, encompassing the characteristics of coordination, communication, cooperation, and knowledge transfer, stakeholders are proving ineffectual, thereby obstructing the development of necessary strategies for crisis management and the recovery process. Further, ineffective governance, adopted by local stakeholders, has had a substantial negative impact on the process of developing future effective crisis management strategies.

Developing and Validating the Attitudes Towards Inclusive Education Scale (AIES) Around Contemporary Paradigms of Inclusion
(Springer, 2023) Sakız, Halis; Ergün, Naif; Göksu, İdris; Department of Educational Sciences / Eğitim Bilimleri Bölümü; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji Bölümü
A few educational models have evolved fast as inclusive education (IE), which has expanded from being a special education technique focused on integration to a comprehensive model that encompasses the education of all students. However, there is a lack of measurement tools that align with the evolving conceptualizations of IE, provide insights into its implementation in the field, and capture the perspectives of school staff. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was twofold: firstly, to develop the Attitudes towards Inclusive Education Scale (AIES) to assess the attitudes of school staff, including teachers, managers, and school counselors, towards IE; and secondly, to examine the relationships between staff attitudes, demographic factors (age, gender), work experience, educational level engaged with and prior training in IE. The AIES comprised 43 items and three distinct dimensions, demonstrating a valid factor structure and satisfactory internal consistency. The findings revealed that school staff's attitudes significantly varied based on gender and prior training in IE. This study makes a valuable contribution to the field by developing a robust and up-to-date attitude scale to assess attitudes towards IE.

Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation “Homophobia in Healthcare Employees”: a Cross-Sectional Study
(Springer, 2025) Değer, V.B.; Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Kaçan, H.; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü
Introduction: The study was conducted to examine the attitudes of healthcare employees toward homosexuals and the factors affecting them, while homophobic thoughts and behaviors are based on heteronormative cultural beliefs and gender stereotypes. Methods: This study was planned as a cross-sectional and completed with 720 healthcare employees. The Demographic Information Form and Hudson and Ricketts Homophobia Scale were used in the study. Data were collected between January 06 and January 10, 2022. Results: The mean homophobia total score of the employees was determined as 97,503 ± 25,807. Homophobia levels of male healthcare employees, those who thought homosexuality is a disease, and those who stated that homosexuality can be caused by taking an example had increasing homophobia levels. The level of homophobia decreases in the presence of homosexual friends, those who can talk freely about homosexuality, and healthcare employees who support same-sex marriage. Conclusions: Recognition of individuals with different sexual orientations by healthcare employees will reduce homophobic attitudes toward these individuals. Examining the level of homophobia in healthcare institutions and ensuring that discriminatory attitudes or behaviors toward individuals from different sexual orientations are determined to be effective on the quality of healthcare and access to healthcare services. Policy Implications: There is a healthcare system in which patients are generally assumed to be heterosexual; [healthcare employees are not prepared to work with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual patients in general. Studies conducted on this subject indicate that more studies are needed on the subject to implement a healthcare policy focusing on sexual diversity in healthcare services and to discuss healthcare practices for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual population. © The Author(s) 2024.

The effect of acupressure on postoperative pain of lumbar disc hernia: A quasi-experimental study
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018) Tanrıverdi, Seher; Sarıtaş, Serdar; Department of Social Services/ Sosyal Hizmet Bölümü
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a disease characterized by lumbar and leg pain that occurs as a result of compression of the lumbar spinal root by the degenerated disc. The results of the study showed that 80% of humans experienced lumbar pain in any period of their lives [[1], [2], [3]]. Comprising an important part of lumbar pain; lumbar disc herniation (LDH) has an prevalence of approximately 15–56% per year [4,5]. One of the treatment methods preferred for patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation is surgery. Patients, who undergo surgery, experience intense pain in the early postoperative period [6]. It is known that medications are commonly used in pain control. Analgesic treatment used for pain control is the most preferred treatment method for pain relief as it has a rapid action and is administered easily [7,8]. Damages in both individual and national economy due to preferring carelessly and frequently analgesics affect negatively some physiological functionings and have negative effects such as development of addiction with the increase of dosages every time especially in cases where narcotics are preferred [9]. Thus, it is indicated that the administration of non-pharmaceutical methods by nurses to relieve the postoperative pain in patients in addition to medications increases the action of medications [8]. It is anticipated that there are numerous non-pharmaceutical methods which are efficient in pain management, such as distraction, relaxation, therapeutic touch, transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS), informing, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, massage, aromatherapy, music and meditation, yoga, attention-grabbing, imagination, cognitive-behavioral techniques. But, it is known that nurses do not use these methods adequately to relieve pain [10]. It may be asserted that non-pharmaceutical treatments are among independent nursing roles of professional nurses who have theoretical knowledge and problem solving ability. Nurses are required to take a role in non-pharmaceutical interventions in order to meet the health needs of individuals, families and society [11]. One of the non-pharmaceutical treatment methods used in pain relief is acupressure. Applied with touch pressuring on the acupuncture points using hands, fingers, thumbs or small beads according to the traditional Chinese medicine; acupressure is a non-pharmaceutical pain relief example that balances energy in the body [[12], [13], [14]]. Advantages of acupressure include low cost, learning convenience and non-invasive characteristics [14]. Besides, randomized clinical studies conducted to compare physiotherapy and acupressure in decreasing lumbar pain (LBP) have reveal that acupressure might be effective [[15], [16], [17]]. The use of acupressure in nursing practices by taking all its positive effects into consideration will contribute to the establishment of qualified nursing care standards.

Effect of Economic Policy Uncertainty on Co2 With the Discrimination of Renewable and Non Renewable Energy Consumption
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Atay Polat, Melike; Ilhan, Ozturk; Usama, Al-Mulali; Savranlar, Buket; Polat, Melike Atay; Metawa, Noura; Raboshuk, Alina; Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü
The link between policy -related economic uncertainty and the environment has a new and developing literature. In this study, the effects of economic policy uncertainty, energy consumption and economic growth on pollution in G7 countries are investigated by using methods of moments quantile regression over the perod of 1995-2018. According to the long run coefficient estimation results, in the model in which the fossil fuel energy consumption variable is used as an energy consumption indicator, economic policy uncertainty has a reducing effect on emissions at all quantile levels. Although this negative effect becomes more pronounced as the quantile level increases, it is statistically insignificant at the 0.90 quantile level. In the model that includes fossil fuel energy consumption, the coefficient of economic policy uncertainty variable is negative in all quantiles and is significant only at the 0.30 and 0.40 quantile levels. In addition, while a U-shaped relationship is detected between economic growth and emissions in these countries, the destroying effect of fossil fuel energy on environmental quality is confirmed in all quantiles. Thus, it should be a priority to support the developments in growth performance with environmental regulations, encourage energy -saving and energy -efficient practices as well as to establish the legal infrastructure.

Effect of seasonal variation on lipid and fatty acid profile in muscle tissue of male and female Silurus triostegus
(SPRINGER INDIA, 2016) Kaçar, Semra; Bashan, Mehmet; Oymak, Seyit Ahmet; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Fatty acid (FA) compositions of total lipid, phospholipid (PL) and triacylglycerol (TAG) fractions have been determined in muscle tissues of Silurus triostegus. The distributions of saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) proportions were found to be different among total lipid, PL and TAG fractions from lipids in muscle tissues of the male and female S. triostegus in all seasons. Triacylglycerol contained a lower proportion of PUFA and a higher proportion of MUFA and SFA than PL while PL contained higher proportion of PUFA than proportion of MUFA and SFA compared to TAG. Triacylglycerol and PL fatty acid compositions in muscle tissues of the male and female fish species were found different. The most abundant fatty acids in the investigated seasons were palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1 n-9), palmitoleic acid (C16:1 n-7) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3). It was shown that the total lipid content and FA compositions in muscle tissues of the male and female S. triostegus were influenced by reproduction period and season.

Electrochemical Behavior of Pt Nano-Particles Dispersed on Cu/Ni Electrode in Alkaline Environment
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Toprak Döşlü, Serap; Doner, Ali; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
The development of a low-cost Pt-based electrocatalyst for industrial water splitting is important. In this study, to prepare cost-efficient Pt-based electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution, Cu electrode is deposited with nickel (Cu/ Ni) and this surface is modified with Pt nanoparticles by electrodeposition method (Cu/Ni-Pt). The surface properties of the produced electrocatalysts are studied via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Characterizations demonstrated that the coating is homogeneous and compact. Hydrogen evolution and corrosion behaviors of prepared electrode (Cu/Ni-Pt) are examined in 1.0 M KOH solution using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and cathodic and anodic current-potential curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Tafel slope is determined to be 133 mV dec(-1) on Cu/Ni-Pt. Very high exchange current density (5.65 mA cm(-2)) and very low charge transfer resistance (0.91 Omega cm(2) at 1.05 V vs RHE) are measured again on this electrocatalyst. High activity is due to intrinsic activity of Pt and synergistic interaction of Pt and Ni. Besides, Cu/Ni-Pt exhibits so stable structure over 4 h without any current densities decay as well as showing good corrosion performance after long-term immersion times and these properties make it possible electrocatalyst with high corrosion resistant and activity in the water electrolysis systems.

(Arabian Journal of Chemistry, 2018) Toprak Döşlü, Serap; Doğru Mert, Başak; Yazıcı, Birgül; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü
The aim of this study was to protect stainless steel against corrosion via poly (indole-co-aniline) with the help of titanium dioxide pre-coating. Different monomer ratios (1:1 and 1:9) wereapplied in order to determine the suitable chain composition to synthesize the copolymer in lithiumperchlorate containing acetonitrile. The structures, morphologies, electrochemical properties andcorrosion resistances of the mono and multi-layer coatings were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectra, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic polarization. Furthermore the geometric struc-ture and electronic properties of indole, aniline, and indole-co-aniline (dimmer) molecules have beeninvestigated by quantum calculations. The results indicated that corrosion protection of copolymerswas increased via titanium dioxide pre-coating. The 1:1 copolymer coating showed better corrosionprevention than 1:9 coating. The correlation was determined between experimental and theoreticalparameters.

Entrepreneurship in Crisis: The Determinants of Syrian Refugees' Entrepreneurial Intentions in Turkey
(Sustainability, 2021) Almohammad, Dawoud; Rashıd, Mohamad; Taher, Alkhalaf; Mohamad, Rashid; Department of Political Science and International Relations / Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü; Department of Management / İşletme Bölümü
This study aims to identify the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among Syrian refugees in Turkey. The research, based on planned behaviour theory, focused on the impact of the refugee context on those intentions and thus on the attitudes and behaviour of entrepreneurs. The study is based on the positivist paradigm, and a quantitative methodology was used to collect data. We preferred the method of convenience sampling and chose 122 entrepreneurial projects at the beginning of 2020. The results show that psychological characteristics have no significant impact. Motivation, conviction, and independence are not sufficient conditions for the choice of an entrepreneurial profession. Self-standards do not affect the entrepreneurial intentions of refugees, as support from family and friends may not be sufficient reason to engage in an entrepreneurial project. However, entrepreneurship emerged among the refugees distinguished by perseverance, efficiency, a spirit of innovation, prior experience, adequate perceptions of barriers, and having the resources needed to implement projects. The refugee context has a negative emotional impact on entrepreneurship for reasons related to conditions of instability, language difficulties, the need for capital to invest, and a lack of entrepreneurial knowledge. The research findings can be used to support the role of humanitarian organisations, UN agencies, and host governments in developing a deeper understanding of entrepreneurial intentions in the refugee context. © 2021 by the authors.
