Scale development to measure gastronomy experiences and scale adaptation process of destination brand equity were carried out. The relationships among the variables were examined with structural equation modeling. According to the findings, except H5 and H8, all hypotheses are significant in the research model. At the end of the study, significant theoretical and managerial implications were provided for the tourism providers and destination marketers, and managers.Article Beef and milk price links in Turkey(2013) Saghaian Sayed; Özertan Gökhan; Tekgüç HasanThis article addresses the recent beef price spikes in Turkey, using contemporary time-series analysis. The arguments point to the impact of low milk prices that led to liquidation of dairy herds and decline of beef prices initially due to the liquidation and increased meat supply, and subsequent price increases in the next year due to decreased supply. The results revealed that dairy herd liquidation had a delayed impact of a year to 18 months on farm, wholesale, and retail beef prices, Those effects wore off over a two-year time period.Article Between Tritheism and Sabellianism: Trinitarian Speculation in John Italos' and Nicetas Stethatos' Confessions of Faith(Brill Academic Publishers, 2016) Krausmüller, DirkThis article focuses on two confessions of faith, which were composed in the late eleventh century by the philosopher John Italos and by the monk Nicetas Stethatos. In-depth analysis of selected passages shows that the two men subscribed to a Trinitarian theology that could be considered heretical. They denied the existence of a common divine substance that could safeguard the oneness of God and instead emphasised the closeness of the hypostases to each other, which made it impossible for them to accord to the hypostases the distinguishing function that the Cappadocians had given them. Thus it can be argued that it was their Tritheism that pushed them towards a 'Sabellian' solution. © 2016 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.Review Biosensors for the Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria: Current Status and Future Perspectives(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Dicle, Yalçın; Karamese, M.Pathogenic microorganisms pose significant threats to human health, food safety and environmental integrity. Rapid and accurate detection of these pathogens is essential to mitigate their impact. Fast, sensitive detection methods such as biosensors also play a critical role in preventing outbreaks and controlling their spread. In recent years, biosensors have emerged as a revolutionary technology for pathogen detection. This review aims to present the current developments in biosensor technology, investigate the methods by which these developments are used in the detection of pathogenic bacteria and highlight future perspectives on the subject. © 2024 Expert Publishing Medicine Ltd trading as Taylor & Francis.Article Conflict, insecurity and the political economies of higher education: The case of Syria post-2011(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2018) Abedtalas, Musallam; Dillabough, Jo-Anne; Fimyar, Olena; McLaughlin, Colleen; Al-Azmeh, Zeina; Abdullateef, ShaherThis paper stems from a 12-month collaborative enquiry between a group of Syrian academics in exile in Turkey and academics from the University of Cambridge into the state of Syrian Higher Education after the onset of the conflict in 2011. The purpose of this paper is to draw on 19 open-ended interviews with exiled Syrian academics; two focus groups; mapping and timeline exercises; and 117 interviews collected remotely by collaborating Syrian academics with former colleagues and students who were still living inside Syria at the time of data collection. The findings of the research suggest that Syrian HE after 2011 was fragmented across regions; in some cases non-existent, and in others deemed to be in a state of reform in order to meet student needs. Key issues that emerged from this work are human rights’ abuses directed against academics and students including the detainment, purging and kidnapping of academics, an increased militarisation of university life and a substantive loss of academic and human capital. Design/methodology/approach – The overall design involved two workshops held in Turkey (in June and July, 2017) at which the Cambridge team explained the stages of undertaking qualitative research and planned the collaborative enquiry with Syrian co-researchers. The first workshop addressed the nature of qualitative research and explored the proposed methods of interviewing, using timelines and mapping. The instruments for interviewing were constructed in groups together and mapping was undertaken with the 21 Syrian academics in exile who attended the workshop. Syrian academics also built their own research plans as a way of expanding the consultation dimension of this project inside Syria, engaged in survey and interview protocol planning and discussed ways to access needed documentation which could be drawn upon to enrich the project. The Syrian coresearchers interviewed remotely HE staff and students who had remained in, or recently left, Syria; the key criterion for group or participant selection was that they had recent and relevant experience of Syrian HE. The second workshop focused on data analysis and writing up. There was also wide consultation with participants inside and outside Syria. As part of the research, the Cambridge team conducted open-ended interviews with 19 Syrian academics and students living in exile in Turkey. This involved interviewing Syrian scholars about their experiences of HE, policy changes over time and their experiences of displacement. The researchers developed this protocol prior to the capacity-building workshops based on previous research experience on academic and student displacement, alongside extensive preparation on the conditions of Syrian HE, conflict and displacement. In addition to interviewing, a pivotal element of methodological rigour was that the authors sought to member check what participants were learning through mapping and timeline exercises and extensive note-taking throughout both workshops. The major issues that the authors confronted were ethical concerns around confidentiality, the need to ensure rigourously the protection of all participants’ anonymity and to be extremely mindful of the political sensitivity of issues when interviewing participants who may not feel able to fully trust “outsider” researchers. Issues of social trust have been reported in the literature as one of the most significant drawbacks in conducting research in “conflict environments” (see Cohen and Arieli, 2011) where academics and students have been working and/or studying in autocratic regimes or were operating within political contexts where being open or critical of any form of institutional life such as university work or the nation could cost them their jobs or their lives. Findings – The accounts of Syrian academics and students emerging from this work point to some of the state-building expressions of HE manifested in the shaping of professional and personal experiences, the condition and status of HE, its spatial arrangements and their associated power formations, and resulting infeelings of intense personal and professional insecurity among Syrian scholars and students since 2011. While acknowledging that the Syrian situation is deemed one of the worst humanitarian crises in the region in recent decades, these accounts resonate, if in different ways, with other studies of academics and students who have experienced highly centralised and autocratic states and tightly regulated HE governance regimes (Barakat and Milton, 2015; Mazawi, 2011). Originality/value – Currently, there is virtually no research on the status and conditions of higher education in Syria as a consequence of the war, which commenced in 2011. This work presents a first-person perspective from Syrian academics and students on the state of HE since the onset of the conflict. The major contribution of this work is the identification of key factors shaping conflict and division in HE, alongside the political economies of HE destruction which are unique to the Syrian war and longstanding forms of authoritarian state governanceArticle Determination of chemical composition and antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and enzyme inhibition activities of Rumex acetosella L. plant extract(Springer int Publ Ag, 2024) Aktepe, Necmettin; Keskin, Cumali; Baran, Ayse; Baran, Mehmet Firat; Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Keskin, Cumali; Khalilov, RovshanPurpose The phenolic composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity, enzyme inhibition activity, and cytotoxic activity potentials of the plant Rumex acetosella L. (R. acetosella) were examined in this study. Materials and Methods: The chemical composition of R. acetosella methanol extract was identified by the LC-MS/MS method. The antioxidant activity was tested using beta-carotene/linoleic acid, DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS cation radical scavenging, CUPRAC reducing power, and metal chelating activity methods. The cytotoxic activity was determined by the MTT assay using human ovarian adenocarcinoma (Skov-3), glioblastoma (U87), human dermal fibroblasts (HDF), and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2) cell lines. The antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts was tested on gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeuriginosa) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) using the in vitro minimum inhibition concentration method (MIC). Enzyme inhibition activity of R. acetosella methanol extract was measured spectrophotometrically against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. Results: The findings showed that the major components of the methanol extract content were luteolin-7-O-glucoside (1.599 m/L), polydatin (91,024 m/L), and shikimic acid (0.773 m/L). It was determined that the extract and standard antioxidant (a-tocopherol) results in DPPH center dot, and ABTS center dot + tests performed to determine the antioxidant activity were close to each other, and this value was more effective than the standard antioxidant (alpha-tocopherol) in the CUPRAC test. These results suggested that the plant's antioxidant potential was higher when compared with reference antioxidant compounds. It was determined that the methanol extract of R. acetosella had a weaker effect on the growth of the tested microorganisms than the antibiotics used as standard. The activity of the GST and AChE enzymes was found to be severely inhibited by the methanol extract of R. acetosella. Conclusion: Based on these findings, R. acetosella L. is a medicinal and commercially beneficial plant that warrants further investigation.Article DEVELOPING THE ONLINE PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION SCALE AND EXAMINING ITS ASSOCIATIONS WITH PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS(Fundacion VECA, 2023) Ergün, NaifThis study aims to develop the Online Pornography Addiction Scale (OPAS) using the behavioral addiction model and to explore the relationships between the scale, demographic variables, psychosocial variables, and pornography viewing behaviors. Two studies were conducted, the first of which involved two phases. The findings from Study 1a and Study 1b reveal that the OPAS comprises 23 items organized into four sub-scales: Compulsiveness-Uncontrollability, Psychosocial Effects, Sexual Effects, and Tolerance-Withdrawal. Overall, the scale demonstrates consistency and reliability. The results of Study 2 indicate that the OPAS correlates with gender, access to professional support, levels of hopelessness, communication with partners, degree of religious affiliation, engagement with sexual videos, frequency of pornography consumption, time devoted to pornography viewing, longest duration without pornography, impact of pornography on sexual experiences, and influence of pornography on daily life. Communication with partners of the opposite sex, engagement with sexual videos, impact on daily life, and religious affiliation levels are also significant predictors of the OPAS score. These findings are discussed in relation to relevant literatureReview Effectiveness of Valproic Acid in the Treatment of Sydenham's Chorea and a Literature Review(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Özgün, Nezir; Akdeniz, OsmanThere is still no evidence-based guideline and consensus on the treatment Sydenham's Chorea (SC). The first-line medication preference of specialists depends on personal experience and is variable. In this study, we evaluate the treatment results of pediatric patients who were treated with valproic acid (VPA). The medical records of 17 patients diagnosed with SC were reviewed retrospectively. The mean time to clinical improvement was found as approximately 5 days, the mean duration of remission as 13.60 & PLUSMN; 3.94 weeks and the mean duration of medication use was found as 17.96 & PLUSMN; 3.81 weeks. No side effects were observed in any of the patients and relapse occurred in 2 patients. A positive correlation was found between the initial C-reactive protein (CRP) level and the duration of medication use. Until evidence-based guidelines are established, VPA can be used as an effective, safe, and inexpensive first-line treatment option, especially in pediatric patients.Article Evaluation of Nurses' and Midwives' Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Recognizing Violence Against Women(Womens Health & Action Research Centre, 2024) Yeşil, Yeşim; Yesil, YesimThe study was cross-sectional research that surveyed 410 nurses and midwives from March 2020 to March 2021 in Turkey. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of nurses and midwives towards recognizing violence against women. The "Scale for Nurses' and Midwives' Recognition of the Symptoms of Violence against Women" were used. The average total scale score was 20.3 +/- 3.2. The score of participants who are receiving postgraduate education, working in the field of gynaecology and obstetrics, and considering intervention as a professional responsibility when encountering a woman who has experienced violence was found to be significantly higher than the other groups (p<.05). It is important for midwives and nurses to be aware of signs of violence to identify violence against women. Providing education to midwives and nurses regarding signs of violence against women will contribute to the recognition, prevention, and awareness of violence.

This model is set out in exposés of the Imago Trinitatis where the human image, which is defined as a nature, the soul, with two faculties, the mind and its off- spring, the word, serves as a starting-point for a reorganisation of the divine archetype, which when considered in isolation seems to be entirely orthodox.Article Khorsabad/dūr-šarrukin Kazısı ve Asar-ı Atika\rMizamnamelerine Etkisi(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2021) Genç, BülentMusul’a Fransa konsolosu olarak atanan Paolo Emilio Botta ile 19. yüzyılın son\rçeyreğinde Mezopotamya Arkeolojisi’nde önemli değişimler yaşanmaya başlar.\rBotta’nın Musul çevresinde yaptığı araştırmalar sırasında Khorsabad köyünden\rgelen bir kişi, bir tepenin üzerine inşa edilmiş kabartmalarla bezeli taşlar ve\ryazıtlardan bahseder.

Bu sanat eserleri Fatih Sultan Mehmet’i, farklı malzeme ve stiller kullanmalarına rağmen aynı açıdan göstermektedir. Fatih Sultan Mehmet Konstantinopolis’in Fatihi olarak resmedilmekle birlikte, bu resimler Osmanlı kültürel kavramlarını da içermektedir. Makalede, belirli Batı sanatı öğelerinin, Sultan’ın Konstantinopolis üzerindeki gücünü tasvir etmek için geleneksel Türk sanat imgeleriyle nasıl bir araya getirildiğini de göstermeye çalışmaktadır. Fatih Sultan Mehmet’in yer aldığı bu iki tabloda, Sultan’ın bir saray ressamı ve bir yabancı ressam tarafından farklı yönleri tasvir edilmektedir. Burada, her iki ressamın da sahip oldukları kültürel bilinci ve izlenimi resimlerine aktardıkları görülmektedir. Gentile Bellini ve Şiblizade Ahmed, benzer sanatsal eserler ortaya çıkarmış olsalar da Fatih Sultan Mehmet’i kendi kültürel çerçeveleri içinde farklı bakış açısıyla sunmaktadırlar. Ek olarak, bu makale yabancı bir sanatçının yerel bir ressama nasıl ilham kaynağı olduğunu da göstermektedir. Ayrıca, iki resim sanatçıların kullanıldıkları nesnelere ve özelliklere dayanarak açıklanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma her iki resmin kendi sahip olduğu uzun süreli bellek ve farklı sosyal, kültürel ve tarihsel bakış açıları içinde düzenlendiğine işaret etmektedir.Article Metabolic Syndrome in School Children in Mardin, South-Eastern of Turkey(AVES Ibrahim Kara, 2014) Battaloğlu İnanç, BetülAmaç: Okul çocukları popülasyonunda, metabolik sendrom (MES) prevelansının tespit edilmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Türkiye'nin güneydoğusundaki, Mardin şehir merkezinde, üç ilköğretim okulundaki, 7-15 yaşları arası, üç bin dört yüz altmış çocuk, Nisan-Mayıs 2011'de çalışmaya dahil edildi. Yaş, cins, boy, ağırlık, bel çevresi, kalça çevresi, bel/kalça oranı, sistolik ve diyas tolik kan basınçları ölçüldü ve kan testleri kaydedildi.

Nikah akdinin ne tür bir akit olduğu, ticari akitlerle olan ilişkisi ve evlilik için şer’an önemli bir araç olan akdin mahiyeti fakihler tarafından tartışılmıştır. Ḥanefī ve Şafiʿī mezhebi arasında nikahın akit boyutunun hakikat mi yoksa mecaz mı olduğu sorusu bu tartışmanın somut tezahürü olarak karşımıza çıkar. Çağdaş batı literatürü nikahın akdi boyutunu çözümlemeye çalışırken İslam geleneğinde akit kavramını, akit nazariyesi ve akdin mecazla ilişkisine dair tartışmalar üzerinde durmaz ve nihayetinde bir takım tartışmalı neticelere ulaşır. Bu çalışmanın amacı çağdaş çalışmaları da içerecek şekilde, Ḥanefī mezhebinin nikah akdinde mecazla kurduğu ilişki üzerinden nikah akdi ve ticari akdin irtibatı ve bu irtibattan doğan sorunları ele almaktır.Article Nutrition Literacy and Quality of Life of University Students: Evidence from a Cross-Sectional Survey(Mashhad University of Medical, 2024) Aslan Ceylan, Jiyan; Bayındır Gümüş, AylinBackground and Objectives: Nutrition literacy is a concept that improves individuals' diet quality, and quality of life and contributes to enhancing their general health by using and interpreting nutrition-related information correctly. This study purposed to determine the nutritional literacy and quality of life levels of university students and relate them with anthropometric measurements. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and was conducted with 374 university students over the age of 18 at a state university. Nutrition literacy was assessed by using the Evaluation Instrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults (EINLA), and quality of life was evaluated with the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (Turkish_WHOQOL-BREF). Waist, middle-upper arm, neck circumference, body weight, and height were measured in accordance with appropriate techniques by researchers. Independent t and One-Way ANOVA tests were used to determine differences between two and more than two mean values. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect relationships between scores of total EINLA, its sections, total Turkish_WHOQOL-BREF and its dimensions, and other variables. Results: The mean EINLA and WHOQOL-BREF scores of the participants were 25.3±4.7 (borderline) and 54.3±15.1, respectively. While the EINLA score varied according to gender, faculty (health sciences vs others), and degree (1 to 4), the WHOQOL-BREF score varied according to gender and living place (home vs dormitory). EINLA and WHOQOL-BREF scores of BMI (underweight to obese), waist circumference, and neck circumference (normal vs at risk) groups were not different. It was found positive significant relationships between the second section of EINLA (reading comprehension and interpretation) and psychological health, the third section of EINLA (food groups), and social relationships (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nutrition literacy, anthropometric measurements, and quality of life of university students are affected by a multifactorial situation.Article Our Treatment Experience in Poisoning With Calcium Channel Blockers: a Series of Twelve Cases(Briefland, 2024) Talay, Mehmet Nur; Orhan, Ozhan; Ozbek, Mehmet Nuri; Kangin, Murat; Turanli, Ese EdaBackground: Intoxications with cardiovascular system drugs constitute a small percentage of all poisoning cases. Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) are the most common drug poisoning in this group. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for CCB poisoning and add to the current body of literature by outlining the clinical treatments we employ for bradyarrhythmia, hypotension, and resistant vasodilation resulting from CCB poisoning, as well as sharing our clinical insights in this field. Methods: Twelve patients, ranging in age from 1 month to 18 years, were admitted to the Tertiary Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for treatment of medication poisoning related to the CCB group. Patients who ingested several drugs that caused CCB were not allowed to participate in the trial. Results: Twelve patients were followed up in the PICU due to poisoning with CCB group drugs. Of the patients, 7 were male and 5 were female. Five of the patients had taken CCB medication with the purpose of committing suicide, and 7 of them accidentally. All of the patients who received CCB to commit suicide had taken verapamil. Five patients whose hypotension and bradycardia continued were administered inotropes. In addition to PI, calcium gluconate, intravenous lipid, glucagon, insulin, bicarbonate, and methylene blue were given as therapy to our symptomatic patients. Plasmapheresis was applied to a patient who was hospitalized in the PICU due to a sudden loss of consciousness. Conclusions: In the management of patients with CCB poisoning, the use of hyperinsulinemia euglycemia, intravenous lipid emulsion treatment, glucagon treatments, and treatments including methylene blue and extracorporeal life support should be considered in cases of resistant hypotension, bradycardia, and coma in the early period.Article Political discourse and semiotics(de Gruyter Mouton, 2024) Canakpinar, Betul; Kalelioglu, Murat; Gunay, Veli Dogan; Doğan, Yusuf; Kalelioğlu, MuratIn recent years, semiotics has put "life" at the center of the subject of study. There is the desire to be successful in the lifestyle and the desire to convey the right knowledge to the recipient or the correct use of practices in life. A semiotic theory developed by Jacques Fontanille recently showed that strategy can also be used in semiotic analysis. So, the way of life that Fontanille talks about is not just strategy. The process we call "lifestyle" has an order from small to large: There are basic signs, texts, objects, actants, practices, action phases, strategies, and finally lifestyle. In this study, we question the function of strategy, but generally of productive pursuit, in the analysis of political discourses. In our study, we reveal the approach of semiotics to political discourses that concern the whole world and discuss whether they are valid in every society. We emphasize political semiotics, which is used to understand the general structure of political discourses, and show the general functioning of political discourses with Greimas' Actantial Model. We conclude that politicians can influence target audiences by using various methods and discourse strategies.Article Prevalence of obesity in elementary schools in mardin, South-Eastern of Turkey: A preliminary study(2012) Battaloğlu İnanç, Betül; Bindak, Recep; Oğuzöncül, Ayşe Ferdane; Bindak, Recep; Mungan, FerideAmaç: Bu araştırmada, Mardin ilindeki ilköğretim çağı çocukları arasında obezite sıklığı, obezite ile aile ve çevre faktörleri arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmada Mardin il merkezindeki, üç ilköğretim okulunda 6-15 yaş grubundaki, 3460 çocuğun boy ve ağırlık ölçümleri yapıldı. Beslenme alışkanlıkları ve aile-çevre faktörlerine ait bilgiler anket yolu ile elde edildi. Her öğrenci için vücut kitle indeksi (BMI) hesaplandı. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO) tarafından çocuk ve adolesanlarda fazla kilolu olma ve obezitenin sınıflandırılmasında kullanılması önerilen ve 2007 yılında yayınlanan 5-19 yaş grubu çocuklar ve adolesanlar için büyüme referans değerleri baz alınarak hesaplandı. Söz konusu referans değerlerine göre vücut kitle indeksi (BMI)değeri 97. persentil üzerinde olan çocuklar obez; BMI değeri 85-97. persentil arasında olanlarda fazla kilolu olarak tanımlandı. Veriler bilgisayarda SPSS istatistik programı ile değerlendirildi. Analizler için ki-kare ve t-testleri kullanıldı. P<0.05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin % 48.2’si kız idi. Fazla ağırlığı (overweight) olan çocuk %15.78, obez olan çocuk oranı %10.57 idi. Cinsiyete göre obezite sıklığı kız çocuklar için %9.05 ve erkek çocuklar için %11.97 idi. Erkeklerde obezite sıklığı anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti (p<0.01). 13 -15 yaş grubundaki kızların BMI ortalamaları, aynı yaş grubundaki erkeklere göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Sosyoekonomik düzeyi yüksek olanlarda (p<0.01), düzensiz öğün yiyenlerde (p=0.05) , günde 2 saatten fazla TV seyredenlerde (p=0.03), 6 aydan az anne sütü alanlarda (p<0,05), annesi (p<0.05) veya babası (p<0.01) obez olanlarda obezite sıklığı anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Obezite bir sağlık sorunu olarak dünya çapında artmaktadır. Çocukluk çağında obez olmak ve obez ebeveyn/(ebeveynlere) sahip olmak, erişkinlikte obez olmanın risk faktörlerinden ikisidir. Yetişkinlikte, obezitenin kalıcılığı, sorunun en ciddi yönüdür. Obezitede tedavi başarı oranı, ne yazık ki yüksek değildir. Bu nedenle, rutin çocukluk çağı büyüme değerlendirilmesi için, vücut kitle indeksinin eklenerek, risk altında olanların erken tespiti ile ilgili bir önleyici strateji en akılcı yol olarak görünmektedir.
