The Effects of Using Dictionary Notebook in Native Language Education on Students’ Social Lives

Word activities are very important for improving language ability in native language education. If children learn more words, they could read books thoroughly by enjoyment. Teachers use “Dictionary Notebooks” because they are new ways for step by step improvement while students are learning new words. The purpose of this research is to evaluate student’s opinions about “What is the importance of ‘Dictionary Notebooks for them?’”. The study was carried out with sixth-grade students in a middle school in the fall and spring semesters of 2015-2016 academic year at Yenice distirict of Çanakkale province. The research follows the qualitative research paradigm and the data was collected via semi-structured one-on-one interviews with 10 students. Case study design was employed in the current study. One of the researchers is Turkish Language Teacher in the target school. For this reason she interviewed her own students. On the light of our study it can be noted that as a habit formation it is better to start that unknown vocabulary note taking process as much early as possible

A comparative study on the education systems in the Turkic countries

The purpose of this research is to examine the structure of education and training in the Turk World and to compare them with each other. In the study, the general structure, development and current situation of the education and training systems of the Turk World has been researched in detail and compared. In this comparative study, a horizontal approach was used that examined the elements of different education systems as a whole. The education and training systems in these countries, the stages of the educational institutions, the structure of the institutions that educate students, the admission conditions of the students to the schools, the duration of education, the status of higher education, and postgraduate education were examined, and evaluated. The education and training systems of the countries in the Turk World were first researched one by one and explanations were made in the light of the gathered information, then the tables were created with the information, the information in the tables was analysed and explanations were made under the tables. In the conclusion part, the information in the tables for all countries was summarized, the current situations were compared, and evaluations were made. At the stage of data collection; printed scientific resources such as thesis, books, journals, and articles related to the education and training systems applied in the Turk World were used. The data gathered were analysed using descriptive analysis approach according to the criteria determined with the aims of the research. As a result, it has been determined that there are similarities and differences in the structure of the education and training of the Turk World, and these determinations have been revealed. The main differences achieved are; secondary education (high school) and higher education periods, and the difference in the age of starting primary school. The duration of basic education (primary school) is the same in all countries. The Turk World should establish common quality standards in education and training, reflect these standards in their programs, and carry out remedial studies to bring education and training to the level of exclusive civilizations and put them into practice as soon as possible

Maternal serum advanced glycation end products level as an early marker for predicting preterm labor/PPROM: a prospective preliminary study

Objective: To evaluate the value of maternal serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs) level at 11–13 weeks’ gestation for the prediction of preterm labor and or preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Materials and methods: This prospective cross-sectional study is performed in a university-affiliated hospital between February and April 2016. The participants of this study are low-risk pregnant women. Blood samples for maternal AGEs level were collected in the first trimester of pregnancy and all women completed their antenatal follow-up and delivered in our center. During the follow-up 21 women developed preterm labor/PPROM. The first trimester maternal AGEs levels of preterm labor/PPROM cases were compared with uncomplicated cases (n¼25) matched for age-parity and BMI. The predictive value of AGEs levels for preterm labor/PPROM was also assessed. Results: First-trimester AGEs levels were significantly higher in cases complicated with preterm labor/PPROM (1832 (415–6682) versus 1276 (466–6445) ng/L, p¼.001 and 1722 (804–6682) versus 1343 (466–6445) ng/L, p¼.025). According to receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the calculated cut off value of AGEs was 1538 ng/L with the sensitivity 91.7%, specificity 73.8%; and the negative and positive predictive values were 91.6% and 29.5%, respectively. Conclusions: For the prediction of preterm labor/PPROM, the relatively high AGEs levels in the first trimester might be a useful marker

Severe 25-OH vitamin D deficiency as a reason for adverse pregnancy outcomes

Objective: There is a growing concern about the unfavorable effects of vitamin D deficiency in general population, including pregnant women, worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of severe maternal serum 25-OH vitamin D levels on adverse pregnancy outcomes in first trimester. Material and methods: Serum samples of 86 pregnant women in first trimester were collected prospectively from May 2017 to June 2017. Serum 25-OH vitamin D levels were analyzed by enzyme immunoassay method. Patients were classified according to maternal serum 25-OH vitamin D levels as group 1 (n¼34) 10ng/ml. The two groups were compared in terms of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results: The mean 25-OH vitamin D levels of the total 86 pregnant women were 13.83 (6–48) ng/ml. 40% of the pregnant women had low level of 25-OH vitamin D levels (<10ng/ml). The adverse pregnancy outcomes were significantly increased in group 1 (p<.018). Conclusions: Maternal serum 25-OH vitamin D levels <10ng/ml is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. 25-OH vitamin D levels should be screened in high-risk pregnant women and treated in case of deficiency

Characteristics of Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia Treated with High-flow Oxygen and Non-invasive Ventilation Outside the Intensive Care Unit

Objective:Comparing high-flow oxygen (HFO) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatment methods applied to patients hospitalized in the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) service outside the intensive care unit.Materials and Methods:Demographic characteristics, duration of hospitalization and application times, acute phase reactants, ROX index, comorbid conditions, radiological scores and results were evaluated retrospectively in patients treated with HFO (n=26) and NIV (n=23) who were hospitalized in the COVID service outside the intensive care unit of the state hospital between November 2020 and June 2021.Results:A total of 49 patients, 27 males and 22 females, were included in the study. The mean age was 55.6±14.6 years. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (n=27), diabetes (n=15). Patients in the HFO group were hospitalized for 16.6±9.4 days, HFO was applied for 6±4.6 days. Patients in the NIV group were hospitalized for 9.4±6.4 days, NIV was applied for 5.8±4.2 days. The saturation of the patients who were administered HFO (84.1±4.6) were found to be lower than those who received NIV (88.7±2). It was determined that 18.37% of 49 patients e.g. 5 of whom were treated with HFO and 4 of them were those who received NIV treatment. The ROX index was found to be significantly lower in the death group (n=9) compared to the survivors (n=40). In radiological imaging, there was no significant difference in the severity of pneumonia in patients treated with HFO and NIV. Lactate dehydrogenase and C-reactive protein from acute phase reactants at the time of hospitalization were significantly higher in the group who ex.Conclusion:It was determined that HFO or NIV was not different in terms of mortality in thr non-intensive care COVID service

Endometrium Kanserli Hastalarda Preoperatif Tam Kan Sayımının Prognostik Parametreler ve Sağkalımla İlişkisi

Amaç: Çalışmamızda endometriyum adenokarsinomu tanılı hastalarda preoperatif tam kan sayımı parametrelerinin çeşitli klinikopatolojik prognostik parametrelerle ve sağkalım ile ilişkisi olup olmadığını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2011-Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında fakültemizde opere edilen ve endometrial adenokarsinom tanısı alan 144 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Hemogram parametrelerinden absolü beyaz küre sayısı BK , absolü platelet sayısı Plt hematokrit Hct , hemoglobin Hb değerleri yanı sıra absolü nötrofil sayısının absolü lenfosit sayısına bölümü olan NLR, absolü platelet sayısının absolü lenfosit sayısına bölümü olan PLR ve absolü monosit sayısının absolü lenfosit sayısına bölümü olan MLR oranlarının; tümör çapı, tümör derecesi, FIGO evresi, serviks invazyonu, pozitif lenf nodu sayısı, lenf nodunda ekstrakapsüler yayılım, lenfovasküler invazyon LVİ , myometrial invazyon derinliği gibi prognostik parametreler ve hastalıksız ve genel sağkalım süreleri ile olan ilişkisi istatistiksel metodlarla araştırılmıştır.Bulgular: Derece 3 tümöre sahip hastalarda BK sayısının derece 1 tümörlü hastalara göre anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu görüldü p=0.04 . LVİ olan olgularda PLR p=0.018 ve MLR p=0.028 LVİ olmayan hastalara göre daha düşük idi. Düşük evre olgularda evre I-II PLR, yüksek evreli olgulara göre evre II-III daha düşük tespit edildi p=0.03 . Tedavi öncesi bakılan tam kan parametreleri ile tümör çapı, serviks invazyonu, pozitif lenf nodu sayısı, lenf nodunda ekstrakapsüler yayılım, myometrial invazyon derinliği, hastalıksız sağkalım ve genel sağkalım arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı p>0.05 .Sonuç: Endometriyum kanserinde tedavi öncesi tam kan sayımı parametrelerinin bir arada kullanılması, hastalığın prognozu ile ilgili fikir verebilir. Çalışmamızın sonuçlarının daha uzun takip süresine ve daha geniş olgu sayısına sahip çalışmalarla desteklenmesi gereklidi
