Structural Assessment of the Historical Yozgat Clock Tower

Many methods and tools have been used to measure time throughout history. People started using mechanical watches instead of sundials and hourglasses because of technological advances. After that, they built clock towers, which have become a symbol of cities. Although clock towers were first constructed in Europe, they soon spread to the Ottoman Empire. Now these structures are considered an important component of a country’s cultural heritage, and therefore must be preserved for future generations. The clock tower in Yozgat, Turkey is one such structure. For this study, a three-dimensional model of the Yozgat clock tower was constructed in a digital environment and subjected to static and dynamic analyses. The static analyses demonstrated that the structure is safe in terms of stress and displacement. However, the dynamic analyses demonstrated that damage would be formed in the lower regions of the tower base and extend all the way to the balcony in the event of an earthquake. Both the linear and nonlinear analyses yielded similar results in terms of where the damage would occur. This study could be used as a guide for future restoration studies or endeavors

Transphobic Attitudes of Physicians Who Play an Active Role in the Gender-Affirming Treatment in Turkey

Introduction Transgender people are exposed to many health inequality practices while receiving healthcare. In this study, we aimed to investigate the levels of transphobia among physicians who play an active role in the gender-affirming treatment (GAT) in Turkey. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 530 physicians from the disciplines of psychiatry, endocrinology, gynecology, urology, and plastic surgery were assessed. Respondents completed a web-based survey consisting of sociodemographic data form and Genderism and Transphobia Scale (GTS) from May to June 2020. Results Among the 530 physicians, 126 were psychiatrists, 107 were endocrinologists, 119 were gynecologists, 111 were urologists, and 67 were plastic surgeons. We concluded that the transphobic attitude was the lowest in psychiatrists and the highest in urologists. In addition, we found that males were more transphobic than females (for GTS, p < .001; morality/shame and teasing, p < .001; for violence, p = .003), married individuals than single ones (for GTS, p = .012; morality/shame, p = .006), and residents than other academic status (for teasing, p = .024). Finally, we showed that transphobic attitudes are higher among the religious and those belonging to a religion people, respectively, and lower among the atheists and the deists. Conclusions Our findings indicate that transphobia is quite common among physicians in Turkey other than psychiatrists who are more in contact with transgender people. Policy Implications It can be said that it may be important to establish more relationships with transgender individuals and develop policies regarding this situation in order to reduce the common transphobia among physicians
