Quality changes of spotless shad during storage at different conditions

KORAL, SERKAN/0000-0001-7424-2481; Kose, Sevim/0000-0001-6029-0458WOS: 000377012900006This study investigates the effect of using ice in combination with refrigeration on the sensory, physico-chemical and microbiological attributes of spotless shad during storage. Spotless shad kept in ice under refrigerated conditions had better sensory, physicochemical and microbiological quality as compared with control groups. the shelf life of samples kept at ambient temperature without ice was 2 days. Using ice and refrigeration only extended the shelf-life for 3 days and 4 days, respectively, while ice application with refrigeration further increased the shelf-life by 10 days. Physico-chemical and microbiological results usually supported sensory values. Histamine values were below EU (European Union) and FDA permitted levels for the shelf-life of fish

Easily accessible, up-to-date and standardised training model in Urology: E-Learning Residency training programme (ERTP)

Sen, Volkan/0000-0003-2832-0682WOS: 000566529900001PubMed: 32810325Objectives There is no standardised and up-to-date education model for urology residents in our country. We aimed to describe our National E-learning education model for urology residents. Methodology the ERTP working group; consisting of urologists was established by the Society of Urological Surgery to create E-learning model and curriculum in April 2018. Learning objectives were set up in order to determine and standardise the contents of the presentations. in accordance with the Bloom Taxonomy, 834 learning objectives were created for a total of 90 lectures (18 lectures for each PGY year). Totally 90 videos were shot by specialised instructors and webcasts were prepared. Webcasts were posted at uropedia.com.tr, which is the web library of the Society of Urological Surgery. the satisfaction of residents and instructors was evaluated with feedbacks. An assessment of knowledge was measured with the multiple-choice exam. Results A total of 43 centres and 250 urology residents were included in ERTP during the academic year 2018/2019. There were 93/55/43/34/25 urology residents at 1st/2nd/3rd/4th and 5th year of residency, respectively. Majority of the residents (99.1%) completed the ERTP. the overall satisfaction rate of residents and instructors were 4.29 and 4.67 (min: 1 so bad, max: 5 so good). An assessment exam was performed to urology residents at the end of the ERTP and the mean score was calculated as 57.99 points (min: 20, max: 82). Conclusion As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the educational programmes had to move online platforms. We used this reliable and easily accessible e-learning platform for the standardisation of training in urology on national basis. We aim to share this model with international residency training programmes

Bir Üniversite Sağlık Kampüsündeki Bireylerin Sağlık Okuryazarlık Düzeylerinin Belirlenmesi

Amaç: Sağlık okuryazarlığı (SOY), insanların kendileri ve yakınları için sağlığıgeliştirecek ve sürdürecek şekilde bilgi ve hizmetlere erişmelerini, anlamalarını,değerlendirmelerini ve kullanmalarını sağlayan kişisel bilgi ve yetkinliklerdir. DüşükSOY düzeyi, hastaneye yatış ve acil servis kullanımında artma, tarama programları vekoruyucu sağlık hizmetleri kullanımında azalma ile ilişkilidir. Çalışmamızın amacı, birüniversite sağlık kampüsündeki bireylerin (hasta, hasta yakını ve öğrenciler) SOYdüzeyini ve SOY düzeyi üzerinde etkili faktörleri saptamaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesinin polikliniklerinebaşvuran veya sağlık kampüsünde bulunan, 185 hasta/hasta yakını ve öğrencilerdeTürkiye Sağlık Okuryazarlığı-32 ölçeği (TSOY-32), Tıp Fakültesi Dönem 1 öğrencileritarafından ‘Özel Çalışma Modülü’ kapsamında yüz yüze görüşülerekdeğerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcıların yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim durumu,meslek, sosyal güvence, aylık gelir düzeyleri sorularak ve TSOY-32 ölçeği kullanılarak,veriler toplanmıştır. SPSS 24 kullanılarak analizler yapılmıştır. p&lt;0,05 istatistikselolarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.Bulgular: 185 kişi anket ve ölçek sorularını yanıtlamayı kabul etmiştir. Katılımcıların,yaş ortalaması 33,60±14,98 yıl olup, %60,5’i erkekti (n=112). %36,2’i yüksekokul veüzerinde eğitim düzeyine sahipken, sadece %4,9’u ilkokul mezunuydu. KatılımcılarınTSOY-32 indeks puan ortalaması 30,00±6,41 (maksimum skor=50) idi; %49,7’sisorunlu/sınırlı ve %20’si yetersiz SOY düzeyine sahipti. İlköğretim ile lise ve ilköğretimile yükseköğretim mezunlarının TSOY-32 indeks ortalamaları arasında anlamlı farkbulundu.Sonuç: Katılımcıların SOY düzeyleri ile yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, meslek ve gelirdurumu arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmazken, eğitim düzeyi arttıkça SOYdüzeyinin arttığı görülmüştür. SOY ile ilgili eğitimlerin arttırılması kişilerin SOYdüzeylerini artırabilir ve düşük SOY düzeylerinin sağlık sistemi üzerindeki olumsuzetkilerini azaltabilir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Sağlık Okuryazarlığı (SOY), Üniversite sağlık kampüsü, Özelçalışma modülüObjective: Health literacy (HL) is the personal knowledge and competencies thatenable people to access, understand, evaluate and use information and services toimprove and maintain health for themselves and their relatives. Low level of HL isassociated with increased hospitalization and emergency department use, anddecreased use of screening programs and preventive health services. This study wasconducted within the scope of the 'Special Study Module' and our aim was todetermine the HL level of people (patients, patient relatives and students) in auniversity health campus and the factors affecting the HL level.Materials and Methods: The Turkish Health Literacy-32 scale (TSOY-32) was assessedin 185 patients/patient relatives and students who applied to the outpatient clinics ofxxxxx University Faculty of Medicine Hospital or who were in the health campus byface-to-face interviews conducted by Term 1 students of the Faculty of Medicine. Datawere collected by asking the age, gender, marital status, educational status,occupation, social security, monthly income levels of the participants and using theTSOY-32 scale. Analyses were performed using SPSS 24. p&lt;0.05 was consideredstatistically significant.Results: 185 people agreed to answer the questionnaire and scale questions. The meanage of the participants was 33.60±14.98 years and 60.5% were male (n=112). 36.2% hada higher education level of college or higher, while only 4.9% were primary schoolgraduates. The mean TSOY-32 index score of the participants was 30.00±6.41(maximum score=50); 49.7% had problematic/limited and 20% had inadequate HL.There was a significant difference between the mean TSOY-32 index scores of primaryschool-high school and primary school-higher education graduates.Conclusion: While there was no significant correlation between the participants HLlevels and age, gender, marital status, occupation and income status, it was observedthat the HL level increased as the level of education increased. Increasing theeducation related to HL may increase the HL levels of individuals and reduce thenegative effects of low HL levels on the health system.Keywords: Health Literacy (HL), University health campus, Special study module</p
