The Sea in the Novels Aganta Burina Burinata by the Fisherman of Halicarnassus and Sail and Storm by Hanna Mina
(Sirnak Univ, 2021) Alsibli, Ibrahim
This research aims to explain the sea image in Aganta Burina Burinata by the Fisherman of Halicarnassus and Sail and Storm by Hanna Mina in a comparative way. In this sense, the American Literature School approach, which shows the aesthetics of the similarities and differences between the sea images in the two narratives, was taken as a basis in this study. The reason for this is that the American school focuses on the aesthetic cooperations between the literatures of different nations and does not attach importance to the issues of influence. The research is in four parts, the first of which is the narrative language and the role of the sea image in the fictional depiction of words, sentences, and narrative passages in two novels, and the forms of conflict between man and nature. The second part discusses the role of the land in shaping the sea territory while analyzing the existence of closed and open spaces and the effect of open spaces in the two novels. The focus is on the ability of the narrative style to express the sea territory where the events in both novels take place. The third part compares the techniques of the narrative time, the role of flashbacks in shedding light on the background of the characters, and the techniques such as foreshadowing, which means predicting some future events to arouse the reader's curiosity. The fourth part focuses on the comparison of the sea vision from the perspectives of the protagonists in the novels Purinata and Sail and Storm. This article reveals the similarity of the narrative in the two novels in terms of describing the lives of sailors, dockers and fishermen, and also contributed to the understanding of history. The research showed th analyzing at the open places were more present than the closed ones, and the sea appeared as a haven for the hero of the two novels to resort to escape from the world of land and its contradictions and conflicts that occur in it as a result of human greed, and their desire to adapt nature to achieve their goals, while the sea was a field for self-search, dreaming, and contemplation.

Is There Any Effect of Non-Suitable Pull Technique in Back & Leg Dynamometers on the Leg Strength Test Results
(Carbone Editore, 2019) Aslan, Cem Sinan; Karakulak, Izzet; Sahin, Fatma Nese; Eyuboglu, Ender
Introduction: Dynamometers are valid and reliable test instruments that have been used for many years to measure strength. However, there are excessive differences in leg strength scores in different studies with similar groups. This situation suggests a non-conformity to testing procedures occurred during the practice of the tests. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of non-suitable pulling technique on the leg strength test results. Materials and methods: A total of 127 healthy subjects (24 female athletes and 41 male athletes, 22 sedentary females and 40 sedentary males) were included in the study. A back & leg Dynamometer was used to determine the leg strength of the participants. The participants pulled up the dynamometer's grab handle with and without contact with their upper leg. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference (p=0.000) between contacted and non-contact pulling trials of all participants. The percentage difference of leg strength between contacted and non-contact pull was 51.69% (43.25 kg) for female athletes, 54.78 (73.46 kg) for male athletes, 5631% (37.52 kg) for sedentary females, and 50.69% (65.55 kg) for sedentary males. Conclusion: There were significant differences between contacted and non-contact pull trials. It was determined that during the pulling phase if the dynamometer's grab-handle contacted the upper leg of a subject, the strength measurement's score increased considerably. In this case, it can be said that non-suitable pulling technique in the "back & leg dynamometers" affects the leg strength test scores.
Incidence and Risk Factors of Developmental Hip Dysplasia in Southeastern Turkey: A Population-Based Screening Study
(Brieflands, 2025) Solmaz, Murat; Orhan, Ozhan
Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a leading cause of preventable childhood disability. Early identification through ultrasonography (US) screening enables simple, non-invasive treatment and avoids late surgical interventions, reducing lifetime morbidity and health-system costs. Despite Turkey's national screening program, province-level implementation data from the southeast remain limited. Objectives: This study aims to determine the incidence of DDH in southeastern Turkey and to assess the clinical outcomes of a large-scale, population-based ultrasound screening program conducted in Batman province. Additionally, the study seeks to identify associated risk factors contributing to the development of DDH and to estimate DDH incidence and describe risk factors and management outcomes within a large, province-wide universal screening program. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 10,639 infants who underwent hip US (Graf method) from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. Associations between DDH and prespecified risk factors were tested using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests; we report Pvalues and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: At first ultrasound, 88.8% of hips were Graf type 1 (normal). After follow-up of type 2a hips, 616 infants (5.8%) met criteria for DDH (>= type 2b). Female sex was significantly associated with DDH (OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 135-1.88; P = 3.4 x 10-8). Oligohydramnios (OR: 636, 95% CI: 4.28-9.46; P = 1.6 x 10 25), multiple gestation (OR: 35.29, 95% CI: 17.64-70.59; P = 7.0 x 10 23), and family history (OR: 54.97, 95% CI: 25.90-116.66; P = 6.9 x 10-29) showed strong positive associations. Breech presentation was not significant (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.54-1.07; P = 0.115). Primiparity was less frequent among DDH cases (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.66-0.92; P = 3.5 x 10 3). Conclusions: Province-wide universal screening confirms key associations (notably female sex and oligohydramnios) and provides implementation-level metrics to guide quality improvement.

(int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2020) Eskiyecek, Canan Gulbin; Gul, Mine; Meseci, Berkay; Gul, Gazanfer Kemal
This study was conducted to determine the effects of 8-weeks TRX exercises toward upper extremity area of male swimmers in 10-12 age group on 25 meter and 50 meter freestyle swimming degrees and the number of 50 m strokes. 14 licensed and 7 amateur male athletes who are from Kocaeli Province Golciik Municipality Swimming Club voluntarily participated in this study. Participators were divided into three groups as Subject1 (n=7, age average = 11.14 +/- 0.69 years, height average = 1.53 +/- 0.06 m, bodyweight average = 39.16 +/- 6.11 kg stroke length average = 1.54 +/- 0.07 m), Subject2 (n=7, age average = 11 +/- 0.82 years, height average = 1.52 +/- 0.05 m, bodyweight average = 40.26 +/- 5.09 kg stroke length average = 1.53 +/- 0.05 m) and Control (n=7, age average = 11.14 +/- 0.9 years, height average = 1.52 +/- 0.05 m, bodyweight average = 43.31 +/- 7.35 kg and stroke length average = 1.50 +/- 0.05 m) groups. Athletes of Subject1 group performed 60 TRX exercises such as Push Up, Chest Press, Chest Fly, Low Row, Biceps Curl, Triceps Extension, Reaching Row toward upper extremity area in addition to 8-weeks swimming practices. TRX practices were performed for 3 days a week before swimming exercises. Subject2 group performed routine club swimming exercises only; the control group has not applied any exercises. Obtained data were analyzed by Paired-Samples t-test and One-Way ANOVA test in SPSS 24.0 packaged software. Results were evaluated at p<.05 significance level. It is determined in in-group comparisons that there are significant differences between 25 m and 50 m freestyle pretest and posttest swimming degrees (p<.05). Concerning between-groups comparisons, there are significant differences between posttest values of control and subject2 group in terms of both the number of 50 m stroke and 25 m and 50 m swimming degrees (p<.05). Regarding posttest values of control and subject1 group, there also are significant differences in both the number of 50 m strokes and 25 m freestyle swimming degrees (p<.05). We can say as the result of this study that TRX exercises toward upper extremity area of swimmers in 10-12 age group have a positive effect on the number of 50 m strokes and 25 m and 50 m freestyle degrees.

Simultaneous Screening of Total Aflatoxins (B₁, B₂, G₁, G₂) and Ochratoxin A (OTA) in Coffee Samples
(Parlar Scientific Publications (p S P), 2019) Altun, Serap Kilic; Temamogullari, Fusun; Yigin, Akin; Gurbuz, Semra
The aim of this survey was to determine the occurrence of total aflatoxins (B-1, B-2, G(1), and G(2)) and ochratoxin A (OTA) from different coffee brands and types in the southeastern region of Turkey. Coffee samples (deep-roasted coffee (it is called 'mirra' in Turkey), powdered Turkish coffee, green coffee beans and instant coffee) were collected from supermarkets, retail coffee shops, cafes and touristic bazaars. Total aflatoxins and OTA were microbiologically detected by solid phase direct ELISA. The survey included 90 coffee samples. Survey results demonstrated that 39 (43%) were positive for the presence of total aflatoxins and 36 (%40) out of the 90 samples were positive for the presence of OTA. Total aflatoxin concentrations were found in the range 0.08 - 42.81 mu g kg(-1), only 11 of them exceeded the maximum limit of 10 mu g kg(-1) which is allowed by the European Union for total aflatoxins. OTA levels were range from 0.10 to 41.28 mu g kg(-1); only 9 of the samples exceeded the maximum allowed a limit of 5.0 mu g kg(-1), which is set by the Turkish Food Codex and the European Union. The mean relative humidity level of coffee samples was 5.35. The results of this study has shown the significance of government control programmes in coffee production and sale. This study assessed for occurrence of total aflatoxins and OTA in coffee from different types and brands of coffee.

Qualitative Analysis of Solutions for a Timoshenko Type Equation With Logarithmic Source Term
(Univ Nis, 2025) Dinc, Yavuz; Irkil, Nazli; Piskan, Erhan; Tunc, Cemil
This paper deals with a Timoshenko type equation with strong damping and logarithmic source terms. The global existence and the decay estimate of the solutions have been obtained. We reproduce the finite time blow up results of weak solutions by the combining of the concavity method, perturbation energy method and differential-integral inequality technique. These results extend and improve some recent results in logarithmic nonlinearity.
The Effects of Elicitor and Abiotic Stressor Molecules on Phenolic Composition of in Vitro Callus Cultures of Elecampane (Inula Helenium L.)
(Soc Stiinte Farmaceutice Romania, 2025) Battal, Peyami; Akcura, Gokhan; Turker, Musa; Dalar, Abdullah
This study focused on the effects of various stressors and elicitors on phenolic metabolism of in vitro callus cultures of Elecampane. 1 mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) + 0,3 mg/L Kinetin (KN) formulation was detected as the most proper application for callus production. Quercetin was synthesized as the dominant phenolic compound of callus cultures. The highest values of total phenolics were obtained through the combination of 6-Benzylaminopurine + 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (BAP+NAA) in the plant growth regulators (PGR) group (169 mu g/g), 1/2 reduced Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) (108 mu g/g) in the stressor group, and both abscisic acid (140 mu g/g) and melatonin (138 mu g/g) in the elicitor group. The application of various PGRs and elicitors enhanced the level of quercetin at pronounced levels (241-388 mu g/g), but not in rutin (3-18 mu g/g). Chlorogenic acid increased under silver nitrate (19 mu g/g) and 1/4 reduced MS stressors (17 mu g/g) and melatonin (32 mu g/g) and abscisic acid (24 mu g/g) elicitors. These findings suggest that the combination of 2,4-D + KN, reduced MS, abscisic acid, and melatonin conditions stimulated the synthesis of phenolics through the biosynthetic pathway by increasing the stress resistance of Elecampane.

An Empirical Investigation on Growth and Institutional Structure Relations in Central Asian and Caucasian Countries
(Ege Univ, Fac Economics & Admin Sciences, 2023) Cuhadar, Pinar; Kıran Bulgurcu, Berna
Whether economic and political institutions have an impact on countries' economic growth performances is one of the important research topics discussed in the literature. Former socialist Central Asian and Caucasian countries trying to adapt into market economy have not yet completed their transition processes, but they have managed to grow their economies in comparison to previous periods. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the growth performances and institutional structures of the Central Asian and Caucasian countries of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan between the years 2000-2018 by using the decision variables of civil rights, economic freedom, political stability, rule of law and GDP per capita. According to the analysis results obtained via Grey Relational Analysis method by assigning equal importance to all variables, Kazakhstan is found to be the highest-ranking country among all examined countries for all periods. The authoritarian tendencies that these countries have shown during their market economy transitions with regards to matters related to institutional structure have been found to be the reason why countries' economic efforts have failed to yield results.

Understanding of Tourists' Memorable Local Food Experiences: a Netnography Study
(Istanbul Univ, Methodology & Sociology Research Center, 2022) Kodas, Betul; Aksoy, Zekeriya
Memorable food experiences are an important factor in both the tourism business and destination marketers and managers attracting not only current tourists but also potential tourists. Recently, several studies have been performed to explore or understand memorable food experiences, as food experiences are a crucial indicator of tourist behavioural intentions and satisfaction. Thus, the purpose of the current study is to understand tourists' memorable local food experiences, food experience satisfaction, and behavioural intentions. Accordingly, data was collected through online reviews (424) posted about tourists' memorable local food experiences in Gaziantep between 9 April 2021 and 29 May 2021. A phenomenological approach and content analysis technique were used to analyse the data. In the results of the present study, a theoretical model of memorable local food experiences (MLFEs) was developed with six key components: novelty, hospitality and services, taste and food attributes, togetherness and local interactions, ambience and setting, and local culture. In addition, tourists' food experience satisfaction and behavioural intentions were found to be positive while experiencing regional local food. Based on the results of this study, practical and managerial implications are discussed, and future research recommendations are proposed.

Adsorptive Performance of Magnetic Nano-Biosorbent for Binary Dyes and Investigation of Comparative Biosorption
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Tarhan, Tuba; Tural, Bilsen; Boga, Kenan; Tural, Servet
The individual and competitive biosorption capacities of Metanil Yellow (MY) and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by glutaraldehyde cross-linked magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (GMCNs) were studied. Competitive biosorption of the MY and RB5 dyes by the GMCNs has never been reported previously. Fourier transform infrared technique has been used to show the biosorbed MY and RB5 dyes onto GMCNs. During the studies, various essential factors influencing the biosorption, like adsorbate concentration, pH of the solution and contact time have been monitored.The equilibrium was achieved within 17 h for single dyes and 3 h for binary mixture at pH 3. The biosorption capacities were 620 mg/g for dye MY and 2549 mg/g for dye RB5 at pH 3, 30 degrees C. The second-order kinetic model has good compatibility with the dynamical biosorption behavior of a single dye and binary mixture. In order to study the competition biosorption of the RB5 and MY dyes in mixture solutions, the intraparticle diffusion model was used. Competition biosorption through analysis of the intraparticle diffusion model apparently favored the RB5 dye more than the MY dye on the GMCNs in mixture solutions. The biosorbent was regenerated efficiently through the alkaline solution and was then reused ten times for biosorption-desorption cycles.

Determination of Antimicrobial Activity of Nasturtium Officinale and Its Content of Volatile Organic Compounds and Fatty Acids
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2022) Ercan, Leyla; Dogru, Mehmet
Due to the side effects of antibiotics used in the treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic resistance that develops due to the misuse of antibiotics, scientists have turned to the search for alternative antimicrobial compounds. Plants and antimicrobial compounds in plants are widely researched because they are natural and have been a familiar resource in the field of complementary medicine for centuries. In this study, antimicrobial activities of the methanol and water extracts of Nasturtium officinale prepared at different concentrations were investigated on gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi by the disc diffusion method. In addition, volatile organic compound and fatty acidcontent of the plant were determined. For this purpose, fatty acids were determined by converting them to methyl esters in GC-FID (gas chromatography flame ionization detector), volatile compounds were determined by SPME (Solid-phase microextraction) method in GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). In addition, the amounts of volatile components in different parts of the plant were shown comparatively within the scope of the research. According to the results obtained; it was revealed that Nasturtium officinale has an antimicrobial effect on Bacillus megaterium, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus Spizizenii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The plant showed a stronger antimicrobial effect, especially on P. aeruginosa, C. Albicans, and E. coli. It has also been determined that Nasturtium officinale has important essential fatty acids as well as many volatile components. In the analyzes made, it was determined that the main volatile component of Nasturtium officinale was alpha-Terpinolene.
Evaluation of Serum Levels of Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) as Potential Biomarkers of Renal Tubular Damage in Brucellosis Patients
(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2025) Dundar, Ahmet; Irmak, Halit; Ayhanci, Tugba; Yildiz, Songul Cetik
Background: Brucellosis is a zoonotic and multisystemic disease that is widespread worldwide and can present with many different clinical conditions, ranging from asymptomatic to serious and fatal conditions. Brucellosis may be linked to renal tubular and acute kidney damage, nephrotic syndrome, and various types of nephropathies. Objective: Our research was carried out prospectively to investigate the relationship between brucellosis and various biochemical markers and particularly to investigate the role of renal tubular damage biomarkers. Methods: Demographic and biochemical data from 60 controls and 60 brucellosis patients were included in the study. Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were analyzed by. The diagnostic accuracy of KIM-1 and NGAL for brucellosis was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: According to our findings, significant differences of KIM-1 and NGAL were observed between brucellosis and healthy patients. A high AUC (area under the curve) value of 0.742 (95% CI: 0.616-0.868) and 0.835 (95% CI: 0.729-0.941) was observed for KIM-1 and NGAL, respectively. Conclusion: Serum levels of KIM-1 and NGAL, which are renal tubular damage markers, where higher in Brucellosis than in healthy patients. These biomarkers can contribute to the rapid and accurate diagnosis of brucellosis regarding the involvement of nephropathies and to the standardization of comprehensive diagnostic warning indicators.

(Brieflands, 2025) Ozalkak, Servan; Yildirim, Ruken; Karakaya, Amine Aktar; Tas, Funda Feryal; Oncel, Kahraman; Okur, Nurettin; Ozbek, Mehmet Nuri
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common reason for gynecology-related hospital admissions in adolescence. Objectives: The present single-center study aimed to evaluate the diagnosis distribution in adolescents with AUB and to compare the clinical features and treatments of patients with hemoglobin levels below and above 10 g/dL. Methods: The present single-center study retrospectively collected demographic and epidemiological data from adolescents aged 10 - 18 years presenting to our institution with a diagnosis of AUB. Patient data were extracted from electronic medical records and analyzed using SPSS software. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, and interquartile range (IQR), were calculated. Patients were classified according to hemoglobin levels (< 10 g/dL as group 1 and >= 10 g/dL as group 2). Results: Among 167 adolescent patients, 35.9% had hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dL. Hospitalization rates were significantly higher in group 1 (86.4%) compared to group 2 (2.8%) (P < 0.001). The most common causes of AUB were anovulation (84.4%) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (11.4%). The primary treatments included combined oral contraceptives (COCs) with iron supplementation (45.5%) and iron alone (28.7%). Erythrocyte transfusion (ERT) was performed in 18% of cases, predominantly in group 1. This study is limited by the lack of a standardized quality of life assessment tool for AUB. The single-center design and retrospective data collection may limit the generalizability of the findings and introduce selection bias, respectively. Conclusions: Anovulation and PCOS are the main causes of AUB in adolescents. Patients with hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dL and active bleeding should be evaluated carefully, as ERT may be necessary. A wide differential diagnosis should always be considered when managing adolescent AUB.

How Was the Academic Incentive Plan Reflected on Performance: Comparative Analysis of 2016 To 2017
(Tuba-turkish Acad Sciences, 2019) Goksu, Idris; Bolat, Yusuf Islam
When evaluating academic performance, research criteria are taken into consideration as well as quality of the instructional delivery. Scientific research is usually carried out by universities. The impact of the academic incentive plan, which was initiated in 2016 in Turkey, can be revealed by comparing the academic incentive results of 2017 with the results of the previous year. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the academic incentive plan for 2016 and 2017 and to examine them in terms of universities, titles, faculties and gender. As a result of this study, 67 academic incentive reports were examined, and it was found that the rate of academic incentives increased by approximately 12 points. Similarly, the average academic incentive score increased by 8.5 points. Associate professor, professor, assistant professor, research assistant and others were ranked as the academic titles receiving the highest amount of incentive, respectively as determined by the analyses performed on the basis of the titles, and it was found out that this order did not change in 2017 either. Our gender analysis revealed that the ratio of academic incentives given to the males increased by approximately 11 points, while for females this ratio increased by approximately 15 points. According to the analysis conducted on individual faculties, it was determined that the highest academic incentive was in the Faculty of Pharmacy in both 2016 and 2017. The lowest average was in the Faculty of Theology in 2016, and in the Faculty of Law in 2017. The ratios of academic staff who earned 30 points and 100 points were examined and it was determined that the ratio of academic staff that earned the maximum 100 points increased while the percentage of academic staff who earned 30 points decreased. These results show that academic incentive plan contributed significantly to the quantitative increase in academic research within one year.
