Zeki Demirkubuz Sinemasında Şiddet: Masumiyet ve Kader
(2015) Pelin Erdal Aytekin
Bu çalışma Zeki Demirkubuz’un şiddet olgusunu anlama ve aktarma biçimini ele almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı sinema anlatısını yalnızca şiddeti anlamak için araç olarak kullanmak değil, daha çok sinema anlatısıyla kurulan tekil, küçük ve “anlamsız” hayatların eşliğinde şiddetin dönüştürdüğü dünyanın anlaşılabilir kılınabilmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Demirkubuz’un şiddeti “bir insanlık hali” olarak konumlandırdığı Masumiyet (1997) ve Kader (2006) filmlerindeki şiddet olgusu detaylı bir film analizi ile bahsi geçen sorunsal bağlamında tanımlanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Demirkubuz’un Kader ve Masumiyet filmlerinde yarattığı sinematografik dil auteur eleştirisine göre incelenmiş; bu inceleme mizansen eleştirisiyle desteklenerek Demirkubuz sinemasında şiddetin farklılaşan görünümleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma, Demirkubuz’un anlatılarında yarattığı karakter atmosferinin etkisiyle Türkiye sineması içerisinde şiddeti görünür hale getiren önemli yönetmenler arasında bulunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Demirkubuz’un hayata yenilmiş ve kadere boyun eğmiş karakterlerinin şiddet olgusunu açık bir biçimde gözler önüne seren bir özellik taşıdığı gözlemlenmektedir.
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.
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.

(2019) Adak, Abdurrahman
Görebildiğimiz kadarıyla Klasik Türk Edebiyatı akademik çalışmalarının önemli bir kısmında, bu edebiyatın, Arap ve Fars edebiyatları ile meydana getirdiği ilişkiler ele alınmış ve yapılan müstakil çalışmalarla bu konuda önemli gelişmeler kaydedilmiştir. Elbette Şark-İslam edebiyatının kurucu unsurları olmaları açısından Arap ve Fars edebiyatları özel bir ilgiyi hak etmektedirler. Bununla birlikte Osmanlı Dönemi’nde devletin hâkimiyet alanlarının genişlemesi ve çeşitli dilleri konuşan milletlerin Osmanlı hâkimiyetine girmesi sonucu, Klasik Türk Edebiyatı’nın başka edebiyatlar ile de daha çok emetteur/gönderici vasfı ile bir ilişki içerisine girdiği görülmektedir. Bu meyanda Balkanlar ve Afrika’daki kimi edebiyatlar ile Şark edebiyatının içinden doğan Kürt, Urdu, Peştu edebiyatlarının isimleri zikredilebilir. Türkiye’deki akademik birimlerde yürütülen Klasik Türk Edebiyatı çalışmalarında yeri geldiğinde Balkan ve Urdu edebiyatları üzerinde de durulduğu görülebilen bir husustur. Oysa Kürt edebiyatının Kurmanci ve Sorani kolları ile gelişen kısmının tamamı Osmanlı Dönemi’ne denk düşmesine ve bu dönemlerde her iki edebiyat arasında önemli bir etkileşim olmasına rağmen, kimi küçük değinileri saymazsak, denebilir ki şu ana kadar Türk edebiyatı akademik camiasında bu konu hiç ele alınmamıştır.
Mediator Role of Metacognitive Awareness in the Relationship between Educational Stress and School Burnout among Adolescents
(2017) Sarıçam, Hakan; Çelik, İsmail; Sakız, Halis
Metacognition is accepted as a process that affect learning of students directly and is composed of metacognitive skills such as planning of learning, use, regulation and evaluation of learning strategies as well as information on the individual, duty and strategy variables. Educational stress is defined as reactions given by all individuals in the school to the problems they encounter as they carry out their duties and it has an impact on their success both at and outside of school. School burnout is handled in the dimensions of exhaustion against school demands, scornful attitude towards school and the inadequacy felt as a student. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between metacognition, educational stress and school burnout and the mediator role of metacognitive awareness in the relationship between educational stress and school burnout. The sample of 303 students was selected from 7th, and 8th grade students who were at 13, 14 and 15 years old at middle schools in Ağrı, Turkey. The Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, the Educational Stress Scale and the School Burnout Scale were used for data collection. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis was applied in order to determine relationship between the variables and simple, multiple/stepwise regression analysis were used to determine predictor roles of metacognition and educational stress on the school burnout. In correlation analysis, there are statistical significant correlations between metacognition, educational stress and school burnout. In stepwise regression analysis, metacognition is a mediator in relationship between educational stress and school burnout, and educational stress was strongest predictor of school burnout.

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanocomposite for in vitro evaluation of irinotecan using human cell lines
(Turkish Journal of Chemistry, 2021) Tarhan, Tuba
In this study, magnetic O-carboxymethyl chitosan (MOCC) nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized as a drug delivery system for loading the anticancer drug irinotecan (CPT-11). To increase the drug loading capacity, MOCC was synthesized by linking the carboxyl group functionally to chitosan. Also, several critical factors such as concentration, the dose of MOCC, and contact time for optimum drug loading condition were investigated. The loading capacity of CPT-11 onto MOCC was calculated as 5.6 mg/g, and the loaded drug concentration was calculated as 0.04787 mM at pH value of 5. Besides, the cytotoxic properties of MOCC, CPT11 loaded MOCC (MOCC-CPT-11), and free CPT-11 were studied on glioblastoma multiforme cell lines, including U87 and U373. According to the results, the MOCC-CPT-11 showed at least as toxic effect as free CPT-11 even at very low concentrations, while the MOCC showed slight toxicity (cell viability of 96% to 78%) on U373 cell lines at all concentrations and for 24 h and 48 h incubation times. Moreover, the results showed that the MOCC indicated significant toxicity in increasing concentrations and incubation times, and the MOCC-CPT-11 is as toxic as free CPT-11 on U87 cells at all concentrations and incubation times.
The Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Anxiety Levels and Sleep Among University Students
(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Cifci, Sema; Deger, Vasfiye Bayram; Kacan, Havva
Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the anxiety and sleep levels of university students.Materials and Methods: The population of this descriptive study consisted of students who studied in health departments. The data were collected with a questionnaire that consisted of the descriptive characteristics form, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Results: A total of 70.5% of the students who participated in the study were female. 9.0% of the students use drugs and 38.4% of them smoke. The difference between anxiety score averages and having a chronic disease, continuous drug use, smoking, and being a disabled person in the living environment is significant. Sleep quality scores were found to be "elevated" and significant for those who constantly used drugs, had a family member with a disability and/or a person over the age of 65, and those who smoked. It also affected the sleep quality scores of those who were infected with the Coronavirus, those who had family members with Coronavirus in their family, and/or students who had a relative who died from the Coronavirus.Conclusion: It can be argued that the anxiety frequency of the students increased and their sleep quality deteriorated during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Having a family member over the age of 65, having a disabled person, being infected with the Coronavirus and/or losing one of their relatives to the Coronavirus affected the anxiety and sleep quality scores of the students.

Morphometric analysis of the skulls of domestic cattle (Bos taurus L.) and water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L.) in Turkey
(2019) Özkan, Ermiş; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Kahvecioğlu, Kifayet Oya; Öztürk, Muhsin; Onar, Vedat
A total of 20 domestic cattle (Bos taurus L.) and 15 water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis L.) skulls were analyzed in this study. All of the specimens belonged to female individuals. Using a total of 27 craniometric measurements from each of the skulls, 9 indices were calculated. Although there were statistically significant differences between the linear measurements of the skulls of both species, while calculating the indices with their ratios, the values of the measurements of the facial area were determinative in the craniology. Among these indices, the facial index 1 value was statistically significant (P < 0.01) in the comparison of these two species. On the other hand, while considering the orbit and foramen magnum measurements, in contrast with the transversal measurement, the height was more determinant for their index and form.

Cranial size and shape sexual dimorphism in the Kangal dog from Turkey
(Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), 2020) Pars-Casanova, Pere M.; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Onar, Vedat
This study has so far been the first attempt to characterize and quantify skull sexual variation in Kangal dog, by means of geometric morphometric techniques. A sample of 16 adult Kangal crania has been analyzed with this purpose. To obtain a full image of morphological pattern, digital pictures were taken from the ventral, left lateral, and dorsal sides of each skull, and a total of 16, 15, and 16 landmarks respectively were obtained on each image. Skull size and shape differed significantly in all aspects among different sexes, male skulls being bigger. Shape differences were observed mainly on zygomatic arch and muzzle on the dorsal view, pterygoid bone and articular surface to mandibular condyle in the lateral aspect, and cranial width and maxillary bone on the ventral view. Although the sample was comparatively small in number, being the first geometric morphometric approach applied on the Kangal dog, the obtained results will add vital information particularly to understand the cranial shape sexual dimorphism of this unique dog breed in Turkey.

(2022) Düz, M.zahir; Keskin, Cumali; Aktepe, Necmettin; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Baran, Ayşe
Su canlılar için ekosistemin önemli parçasıdır. Endüstrileşme ile birlikte su kaynaklarındaki kirlenme endişe edilir boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Ağır metallere bağlı su kirliliği ve artan konsantrasyonları su ekosistemlerine verdiği zarar nedeniyle araştırmacıların konuya olan ilgisinin artmasına sebep olmuştur. Ağır metallerin sularda oluşturduğu kirliliği gidermek ciddi maliyet ve zaman gerektirmektedir. Son yıllarda suda bulunan ağır metallerin uzaklaştırılması için bakteriler kullanılarak biyosorbsiyon yönteminin kullanılması yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu yöntemin tercih edilmesinin temel sebebi gram pozitif bakterilerin hücre duvarında kalın bir peptidoglikan tabakasına sahip olması ile adsorbsiyon kapasitesini artırmasıdır. Bu çalışmada içme, atık, nehir suları ve suni olarak hazırlanan numunelerde çalkalamalı metod kullanarak ağır metal biyosorbsiyonu ile birlikte çoklu hazırlanmış ağır metal çözeltilerinde biyosorbsiyon rekabeti incelenmiştir. Bu işlemler için Dicle nehri bölgesine ait topraklardan izole edilen Bacillus licheniformis sp. Bacillus subtilis sp. ve Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6051) suşları ile sulu çözeltiden Cd (II), Cu (II), Pb (II), Fe (II), Ni (II) ve Zn (II) metallerinin biyosorbsiyonu değerlendirildi. B. subtilis suşları ve B.licheniformis sp. organizmalarının yüzey morfoljik yapıları SEM görüntüleri, element kompozisyonları EDAX verileri ile incelendi. ICP-OES kullanılarak element içeriği tespit edildi. Sulu çözeltideki Cd (II), Cu (II), Pb (II), Fe (II), Ni (II) ve Zn (II) metal iyonları farklı pH’larda 25 °C de 0,25 mg L-1 biomass ile biyosorbsiyon gerçekleştirildi. pH 6.0 da maksimum biyosorbsiyon ile metal iyonlarının % 98 varan oranda giderildiği belirlendi.
Evaluation of the Neurodevelopmental Status for Urea Cycle Disorders: Based on Clinical Experience
(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Bozaci, Ayse Ergul; Goksoy, Emine; Unal, Aysel Tekmenuray; Albayrak, Hatice Mutlu; Tas, Ibrahim; Kanar, Berat; Kose, Melis
Aim: Urea cycle disorders (UCD) still have poor neurological outcomes despite early diagnosis and treatment. We aimed to present the neurological outcomes of UCD patients and to determine the main simple and accessible factors affecting these outcomes. Materials and Metkods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in two pediatric metabolism centers on 29 patients from 25 unrelated families who were diagnosed and followed with UCD based on clinical presentation, neurological parameters, biochemical measurements, and molecular analysis.Results: Within the study population, the most common diagnosis was argininosuccinate synthase deficiency in 13 (44.82%) patients, followed by N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency in five patients (17.24%), ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency in four patients (13.79%), arginase 1 deficiency in three patients (10.34%), carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1 deficiency in three patients (10.34%), and argininosuccinate lyase deficiency in one patient (3.44%). Peak ammonia levels were observed to be significantly higher in those patients with delayed milestones and patients who had Denver II <-2 standard deviation score results (p=0.032, p=0.026). Effect sizes were large in both groups. Delayed milestones were noted in 17 (94.4%) of the cases with peak ammonia >500 mu mol/L (n=18). Those patients with abnormal neurological parameters had a significantly higher mean number of hyperammonemic episodes per year. Extracorporeal detoxification was given to eight patients, in combination with therapeutic hypothermia in two patients. Rapid regression was observed in brain edema in those who underwent therapeutic hypothermia.Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the effect of peak ammonia levels and the frequency of hyperammonemic episodes on neurological outcomes. There were still poor neurocognitive outcomes despite extracorporeal detoxification. This highlights the need to reassess current treatment strategies, including the threshold for starting extracorporeal detoxification if ammonia levels exceed 500 mu mol/L. The use of therapeutic hypothermia by experienced teams may be promising due to its brain edema-reducing effects.

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.

Impact of Tumor Resection Volume on Visual Outcomes and the Need for Secondary Surgery Following Transsphenoidal Surgery in Suprasellar Extended Non-Functionial Pituitary Adenomas
(Turkish Neurosurgical Society, 2024) Batur, Abdussamet; Bozkurt, Mustafa Alper; Gezer, Burak; Karabagli, Hakan; Koktekır, Ender; Sahinoglu, Mert; Gündoğdu, Derya Karaoğlu
AIM: To investigate the surgical outcomes in patients with nonfunctional pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) exhibiting visual field defects (VFDs) in order to ascertain the impact of the volume of adenoma excised during surgery on recurrence rates and improvements in VFDs. MATERIAL and METHODS: From a cohort of 150 individuals diagnosed with NFPAs and exhibiting suprasellar extensions accompanied by VFDs, we selected 114 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for further analysis after a comprehensive retrospective review. All selected patients underwent pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, and volumetric measurements were conducted on T1 contrast sequences using the Syngo.via software. Measurements were derived from MRI scans taken 24 h preoperatively, 24 h postoperatively, at 3 months, and at the end of the first year postsurgery. Volumetric values were compared between patients who underwent subsequent surgeries due to recurrence and those who did not. Similarly, the variables were evaluated in patients experiencing an improvement in VFD, those whose VFD remained stable, and those experiencing a deterioration in VFD. RESULTS: The recurrence rate was 19.3%. Among patients who underwent a second surgery due to recurrence, the presurgical adenoma volume, the adenoma volume removed based on the 24-h postoperative MRI, and the volumes recorded in the 3-month and 1-year postoperative imaging were significantly greater than those in patients who did not require a second surgery. Remarkable improvements were identified in 84.2% of patients with VFD complaints and 62.5% of those with visual acuity complaints. CONCLUSION: Adenoma volume measurements exerted a significant impact on recovery from VFDs and the need for a second surgery. Although the choice of surgical methodology does not definitively affect outcomes, an in-depth evaluation of variations in adenoma volume can provide valuable prognostic insights.
