Analysing studies conducted on responsibility education in Turkey: A Meta-synthesis study

The aim of this study was to analyse studies conducted on the topic of responsibility education in Turkey up to the present. The research method was structured in two stages. In the first stage, the trends in all studies conducted with regard to responsibility education were determined with descriptive content analysis, and in the second stage, the findings in the studies were synthesised by reinterpretation with meta-synthesis. Criteria for inclusion of studies in the research were that: (1) research related to responsibility education was carried out, (2) the method used was clearly stated, (3) they were articles published in refereed scientific journals or masters/doctoral theses, and (4) the research sample was within the borders of Turkey. Review was carried out with the keyword “sorumluluk” (“responsibility”) on the DergiPark, Google Scholar and Higher Education Council Thesis databases. These studies were analysed using a “Research Information Form” prepared by the researchers. As a result of the analysis, the findings can be summarised as follows: the great majority of the conducted studies are scientific articles and recent studies. They vary in terms of methods used. A large majority are studies in which teachers’ opinions are examined. The studies were grouped into four categories depending on their aims in relation to responsibility education, namely, “studies examining opinions”, “studies in which activities and practices are used in lessons”, “studies on curriculum development”, and “studies examining course books”.The aim of this study was to analyse studies conducted on the topic of responsibility education in Turkey up to the present.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction and (U)HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn analysis of phenolic compounds from black chokeberries cultivated in Turkey

Phenolic compounds from two black chokeberry cultivars 'Viking' and 'Nero' grown in Turkey were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-electrospray ionization-multistage mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn). In the first step, five different solvents were compared to efficiently isolate phenolic compounds by ultrasound-assisted extraction. Three sequential extraction cycles using methanol/formic acid (95:5, v/v) sufficed for exhaustive extraction of anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, and flavonol glycosides from black chokeberry within merely 60 sec. A total of four cyanidin glycosides, two hydroxycinnamic acids, and five quercetin mono- and diglycosides were detected in both cultivars. Total anthocyanins (425-438 mg/100 g of fresh weight, FW), hydroxycinnamic acids (173-179 mg/100 g of FW), and flavonols (37 mg/100 g of FW) were determined in a similar range for both cultivars. Complementary, a rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-DAD method was developed, permitting a high throughput screening of chokeberry phenolics. The established methods were validated considering extraction recoveries, intra- and inter-day repeatability, calibration linearity, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ). UHPLC provided a 2.3 times faster compound separation (30 min) and less solvent consumption than HPLC (68 min)

Evaluation of the Prognostic Importance of c-Myc and Bcl-2 Expressions and the Presence of Epstein-Barr Virus in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

Objective: Although classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) has a relatively good prognosis, it also entails different treatment responses and involves patients who have different clinical courses. Our aim was to investigate c-Myc, Bcl-2 and EBV biomarkers in cHL and their relationship with the IPS score. Material and Method: c-Myc and Bcl-2 immunohistochemical staining with EBER in situ hybridization (EBER-ISH) was applied to the paraffin sections of 94 cases diagnosed as cHL. These cases were classified into two groups as low and high clinical symptoms according to the International Prognostic Scores (IPS). Results: Positive results were obtained in 83 (88.3%) cases with c-Myc and 39 (43.5%) cases with Bcl-2 while EBER-ISH was found positive in 42 (44.7%) cases. No difference was found between the groups of low/high IP scores with respect to the positive or negative results of EBER-ISH, Bcl-2 and c-Myc. When Bcl-2 and c-Myc positive cases were grouped together and compared to the IP scores of the remaining cHL cases, again no difference was seen. Extranodal involvement and bone marrow involvement was observed in 25 (26.5%) and 9 (9.5%) cases, respectively. Similarly, no statistically significant differences was found between these groups according to their positivity with EBER-ISH, Bcl-2 and c-Myc. Conclusion: We could not find any relationship between Bcl-2, c-Myc and EBER-ISH positivity and the low/high IPS groups in cHL. New studies with larger series are needed in which more precise cut-off values are used and clinically and biologically heterogeneous groups of cHL patients are determined more clearly

Assesment of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in the Pediatric Emergency Department

Introduction:Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is an important emergency problem that can occur at any age in childhood and requires urgent treatment for the underlying cause. Etiological causes of gastrointestinal bleeding vary by age and geographic region. In this study; we aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics, etiological causes, endoscopic intervention results, and the relationship between analgesic/antipyretic drug use and bleeding in patients admitted to the pediatric emergency department with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:The records of patients aged 1 month to 18 years who presented to our pediatric emergency department with upper gastrointestinal bleeding between January 2017 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic features, complaints at admission, etiological reasons, endoscopy findings, diagnoses, and antipyretic/analgesic drug use were recorded.Results:There were 108 patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and 53.7% of the patients were male. The mean age was 76.7±58.3 months. Hematemesis was present in 100 patients. Symptoms of the patients; vomiting was present in 82.4%, upper respiratory tract infection in 36.1%, fever in 29.6%, and abdominal pain in 25.9%. There were 52 patients with a history of antipyretic and/or analgesic drug use. An endoscopic examination was performed in 74 patients. In patients who underwent endoscopic examination; pathological changes were detected in 26 of 32 patients who used drugs and 30 of 42 patients who did not use drugs.Conclusion:In patients presenting to the pediatric emergency department with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the bleeding is usually acute and self-limiting, but requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Approximately half of the patients in our study had a history of antipyretic/analgesic drug use in etiology. When the endoscopic findings of drug users and non-users were compared, no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of pathological findings

Covid-19 Vaccine Acceptance Among Parents: Are They Willing to Vaccinate Their Children?

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the willingness of parents to allow their children to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and the factors affecting the decision. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive survey study. A survey consisting of questions about the COVID-19 vaccination was conducted with parents. Results: The study included 592 parents, 180 (30.4%) male, and the mean age was 34.14±7.42 years. There were 257 (43.4%) parents would vaccinate their children. A high level of education of parents (p=0.022), a high monthly income of the family (p=0.006), and male gender (p=0.002) were associated with high willingness to vaccinate their children. Two hundred twenty two parents stated that their decision may change depending on whether the vaccine is of domestic or foreign origin, and 215 (96.85%) of them stated that they would prefer domestic vaccines. The most frequent reasons for vaccine hesitancy or refusal to their children were: fear of possible side effects and it being a foreign vaccine. Conclusion: The hesitancy or refusal of parents to vaccinate their children with the COVID-19 vaccine is high. Public health authorities should inform the public about the importance of vaccination and domestic vaccine production should be encouraged

Mevlana Toplum ve Bilim Merkezi öğretim programlarının öğrencilerin bilimsel süreç becerilerine ve bilime yönelik tutumlarına etkisi

Bu çalışmada alternatif bir eğitim projesi olarak hayata geçirilen Bornova Belediyesi Mevlana Toplum ve Bilim Merkezi'nin öğretim programlarının öğrencilerin bilimsel süreç becerilerine ve bilime yönelik tutumlarına etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Fen Bilimleri Kulübü Öğretim Programı tasarlanmış, program tasarlanırken, öğrencilerin yaparak yaşayarak, ilk elden deneyim kazanmalarına, bilimsel süreç becerilerini edinmelerine ve bilime yönelik olumlu tutum geliştirmelerine önem verilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini, İzmir ili Bornova ilçesinde bulunan BB-MTBM'nin etkinliklerine katılan ilköğretim ikinci kademe öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise 2013-2014 öğretim yılının güz yarıyılına denk gelen dönemde, BB-MTBM'ne başvuran 197 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır (çalışma 114 öğrenci ile tamamlanmıştır). Çalışma öntest-sontest eşitlenmemiş kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen çerçevesinde yürütülmüştür. Deney grubu öğrencileriyle Fen Bilimleri Kulübü Öğretim Programı kapsamında tasarlanan 10 adet Fen Bilimleri etkinliği 5 hafta boyunca yürütülmüş, kontrol grubu öğrencilerinin ise bilim merkezindeki etkinliklerle hiç karşılaşmaması sağlanmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak "Bilimsel Süreç Becerileri Testi" ve "Bilimsel Tutum Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Bilimsel Süreç Becerileri Testi ve Bilimsel Tutum Ölçeği, denel işlem öncesinde ve sonrasında her iki grupta yer alan öğrencilere eşzamanlı olarak uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde karışık desenler için iki faktörlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, etkinlikler sonunda deney grubu öğrencilerinin bilimsel süreç becerileri anlamlı düzeyde gelişirken, kontrol grubu öğrencilerinin bilimsel süreç becerilerinde değişim gözlenmemiştir. Grupların bilimsel süreç becerileri sontest puanları arasında anlamlı farklılık gözlenmese de, yapılan varyans analizi sonucunda, uygulanan öğretim programının deney grubu öğrencilerinin bilimsel süreç becerilerindeki değişim üzerinde, kontrol gruplarındaki bilimsel süreç becerileri puanlarındaki değişimden anlamlı farklılık yaratacak düzeyde etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Fakat deney ve kontrol grubu öğrencilerinin bilimsel tutum puanlarında grup içi öntest-sontest ve gruplar arası sontestler arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır. Elde edilen bu bulgulara göre, geliştirilen BB-MTBM Fen Bilimleri Kulübü Öğretim Programının, öğrencilerin bilimsel süreç becerilerini geliştirmede etkili olduğu fakat bilimsel tutumlarını geliştirmede yeteri kadar etkili olmadığı söylenebilir. Elde edilen bu sonucun, denel işlem süresinin öğrencilerin tutumlarını değiştirebilecek uzunlukta olmamasından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir

Effect of different drying processes and pretreatments on quality properties and nutrients of some edible mushroom species

Bu çalışmada, materyal olarak Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus ve Lactarius deliciosus mantar türleri kullanılmıştır. Mantarlar değişik ön işlem uygulamalarından sonra dondurarak, infrared ve etüvde kurutma yöntemleri kullanılarak kurutulmuştur. Kurutulmuş mantar; hazır çorba ve pizza sanayiinde hammadde, çeşitli sos ve bebek mamalarının üretiminde ise yardımcı madde olarak kullanılmaktadır.Araştırmada; kurutulmuş mantar örneklerinde; renk, rehidrasyon kapasitesi, antioksidan aktivite gibi son ürünün kalite özelliklerini etkileyen parametrelerin yanı sıra, indirgen şeker, protein, mineral maddeler ve toplam fenolik madde miktarı gibi çeşitli besin öğelerinin değişimleri incelenmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre; kurutma yöntemleri arasında, mantarların besin bileşimleri ve kalite özelliklerini en iyi korumada dondurarak kurutma (liyofilizasyon) yöntemi uygulamanın etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kurutmadan önce 1. ve 2. ön işlemlerde uygulanan haşlama işleminden dolayı tüm mantar örneklerinin suda çözünebilen besin içeriklerinde bir miktar azalma olurken, haşlama işlemi olmayan 3. ön işlem uygulamasında bu azalmanın daha düşük oranlarda olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Diğer taraftan, aynı zamanda antioksidan özelliği bilinen askorbik asitli 2. ön işlem uygulamasına ait kurutulmuş mantar örneklerinin antioksidan aktivite ve toplam fenolik madde miktarı, diğer uygulamalara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur.Ayrıca; taze ve kurutulmuş mantarların antioksidan aktivite ve toplam fenolik madde miktarları incelendiğinde türler arasında en fazladan aza doğru bir sıralama yapıldığında bu sıranın Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinus edodes ve Lactirus deliciosus türü olduğu saptanmıştır.In this study, Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lactarius deliciosus mushroom species were used as material. After application of different pre-treatment, mushrooms were dried with different methods (freeze, infrared and oven drying). Dried mushroom; are used as raw material for soups and pizza industry and auxiliaries for various sauces and baby food in the manufacture.In this research; samples of dried mushrooms were analyzed for color, antioxidant activity and rehydration properties, these parameters were determine the end product quality as well as proteins, reducing sugars, minerals, and nutrients such as and total phenolic content were examined in terms of change. Freeze drying (lyophilization) was determined as best drying methods according to result of the analysis. Freeze drying showed best protection for the nutrient content and quality characteristics. Beside, certain percentage decrease was identified in nutrient content of samples in first and second pre treatments which have boiling application. Quality characteristic of third pre-treatment process followed the control group which did not have pre-treatment. Ascorbic acid which has antioxidant properties was used in the second pre treatment of drying mushrooms. So that second pretreatment applied dried mushrooms had higher total antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents than other pretreatment applications.Also according to species, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of fresh and dried mushrooms can be ordered higher to lower Agaricus bisporus > Pleurotus ostreatus > Lentinus edodes > Lactirus deliciosus.Tarımsal Araştırmalar Genel MüdürlüğüAtatürk Bahçe Kültürleri Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğ
