Refugees’ employment and adaptability of their occupation

This study aims to explore refugees’ employment issues considering diverse societies in the world including Syrians in Austria and Turkey. Also, a comprehensive literature review has been done to be able to present diverse dimensions of this controversial and current matter by examining different kinds of articles and research papers. Turkey has been chosen for this paper because it shares borders with countries where refugees come; furthermore, it has significant immigrant populations in its many provinces. The percentage of refugees who have moved has reached its peak in recent years. Finding work, managing the workplace, career adaptability in the beginning process as well as having a just workforce in comparison to salary are just a few of the difficulties refugees must overcome in their attempt to integrate effectively into society. When choosing occupation different factors are involved, and it has a great influence on human beings’ lives. In this respect, I assume that this process is much more difficult and complicated for immigrants who have started a new life and has to adapt to a new society

Pepino meyvesi ve pepinodan elde edilen meyve suyunun fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri

06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır.Ülkemizin, dünya meyve üretimi ve meyve çeşitliliği açısından, üretim hacmi ve büyük bir pazara yakınlığı önemli bir avantajdır. Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin taze meyve ithalatının %90-95'ini tropik ve subtropik meyvelerin teşkil etmesi, tarım ve ihracat açısından dikkat çekici bir olgudur. Tropikal meyveler içerdikleri mineraller ve vitaminler nedeniyle beslenmede de önemli bir yere sahiptirler. Bu meyvelerden biri olan ?pepino? (Solanum muricatum) da son yıllarda ülkemizde de yetiştirilmeye başlanan tropikal egzotik bir meyvedir.Bu çalışmayla; ülkemizde Sakarya ili Akyazı ilçesi ve Tuzla yöresi ile Antalya ili Kumluca ilçesinde yetiştiriciliği yapılan ?Miski? çeşidi pepino meyvelerinin ve meyve sularının önemli bazı özellikleri ile olgunlaşma dönemi boyunca (yeşil, çizgili yeşil, olgun) bu özelliklerde meydana gelen değişimler araştırılmıştır.Meyve suyu randımanının olgun meyvelerde %51-53 arasında değiştiği ve meyve suyu randımanı ve meyvenin genel özellikleri (en, boy, ağırlık) açısından pepino meyveleri arasında belirgin bir farklılığın olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Pepino meyvelerinin SÇKM miktarlarının olgunlaşmayla birlikte arttığı ve 4-7 obriks arasında değiştiği, titrasyon asitliği değerlerinin ise düşük olduğu (0.06-0.08 g/100 mL) ve bu sebeple tat dengesi değerlerinin 52.6-111.1 arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır.Pepino sularının ışık geçirgenliklerinin (%T) benzer olduğu ve 65-78 arasında değiştiği ve bulanıklıklarının olgunlaşmayla arttığı görülmüştür. Pepino meyvelerinde hakim olan başlıca organik asidin sitrik asit (46-62 ppm) olduğu, olgun meyvelerdeki askorbik asit içeriğinin de yaklaşık olarak 3.2 ppm, toplam şeker miktarının ise olgunlaşma periyodu boyunca artarak 3.54-4.96 g/100 mL arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir.Pepino sularındaki karotenoitlerin (Ksantofil, Zeaksantin, ß-apo-8-karotenal,?-kriptoksantin, ß-kriptoksantin, ?-karoten ve ß-karoten) büyük bir kısmının Ksantofil'den meydana geldiği ve bunu sırasıyla ß- ve ?- karotenin izlediği saptanmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Pepino, Miski, HPLC, organik asit, şeker,The large areas that tropical climate conditions are seen and closeness to a big market like Europe are important advantages of Turkey. Tropical and subtropical fruits made up 90-95 percent of the European Union countries fresh fruit import is noteworthy for Turkey agriculture and export. Tropical fruits have an important place in nutrition due to their mineral and vitamin contents. Pepino (Solanum muricatum), one these tropical exotic fruits is being cultivated widely in Turkey in recent years.This study was performed to determine the physical and chemical properties and quality parameters of Miski type that is grown in Turkey. Pepino fruits were harvested in the greenhouses located in Sakarya and Antalya. The objective of the present study was to achieve basic knowledge about chemical composition of fruits at different ripening stages (green, turning and ripe). Changes in those components during ripeness were also evaluated in different stages.The juice yield (%) of ripe pepino was ranging from 51 to 53. The yield of fruit juice and the general properties of pepino fruits (width, length, weight) did not differ significantly from each other depending on the growing region.SSC (obrix, total soluble solids) values increased during maturation and ripening and content was ranged from 4 to 7 % (oB) and total acidity from 0.06 to 0.08 g/100 mL. Because of low total acidity value, Maturity index values were calculated as high values.Light transmittance (T%) values did not vary significantly between those areas. This characteristic was changed from 65 to 78 and increased during ripening. Citric acid was the predominant nonvolatile organic acid in pepino (46-62 ppm). Concentration of ascorbic acid content in pepino fruit was approximately 3.2 ppm. Total amounts of sugar were between 3.54 to 4.96 g/100 mL and increased during ripenig.The major carotenoid of pepino fruit was xantophyll. Then, ß-carotene and ?- carotene were found as high amounts.Key Words: Pepino, Miski, HPLC, organic acid, suga

The effect of the X, Y, Z generations’ women perspectives on travel intention of female tourists traveling alone: An example of TR90 region

Turizm kaynaklarına erişimde ve turistik seyahatlerde kadınlar ve erkekler eşit hak ve özgürlüklere sahip olmasına rağmen Türkiye‟de ve dünya genelinde hâkim olan bir eşitsizlik anlayışının söz konusu olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada, tek başına seyahat eden kadın turistler ile ilgili algının, tek başına seyahat etme niyeti üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığı ve tek başına seyahat etme algısı ve tek başına seyahat etme niyetinin kuşaklara göre bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği incelenmiştir. Ulusal literatür incelendiğinde, kadınların tek başına seyahat algıları ile tek başına seyahat etme niyeti arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik sınırlı sayıda çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmanın teorik alt yapısı planlı davranış teorisi, liberal feminizm teorisi ve sosyal etki teorisine dayanmaktadır. Çalışmanın evrenini, TR90 Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesindeki (Artvin, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, Rize, Trabzon) kadın nüfusu oluşturmaktadır. Veriler anket yolu ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın yöntemi, tarama modelleri içerisinde yer alan ilişkisel tarama modelidir. Çalışma bulgularını analiz edebilmek için ANOVA Testi, korelasyon analizi, basit doğrusal regresyon analizi ve hiyerarşik (sıralı) regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda, kadınların tek başına seyahate çıkma algısının tek başına seyahat etme niyeti üzerinde etkili olduğu ve tek başına seyahat algısı ile tek başına seyahat etme niyetinin kuşaklara göre farklılık göstermediği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.Although women and men have equal rights and freedoms in accessing tourism resources and in touristic travels, it can be said that there is an understanding of inequality prevailing in Turkey and throughout the world. In this study, it was examined whether the perception of female tourists traveling alone has an effect on the intention to travel alone, and whether the perception of female tourists traveling alone and intention to travel alone differ by generation. When the national literature is examined, a limited number of studies have been found on the relationship between the perception of female tourists traveling alone and their intention to travel alone. Therefore, it is thought that this study will contribute to the literature. The theoretical background of the study is based on planned behavior theory, liberal feminism theory and social impact theory. The population of the study consists of the female population in the TR90 Eastern Black Sea region (Artvin, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, Rize, Trabzon). The data were collected by using a questionnaire. The method of the study is the relational screening model, which is included in the screening models. ANOVA Test, correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis and hierarchical (ordinal) regression analysis were used to analyze the study findings. In line with the data obtained from the study, it was concluded that women's perception of traveling alone has an effect on travel intention and that travel perception and travel intention do not differ according to generations

Etiological and Clinical Characteristics of HLA-B27-associated Uveitis in a Tertiary Referral Center

Objectives:To investigate the demographic, etiologic, and clinical features of HLA-B27-associated uveitis.Materials and Methods:The clinical records of 91 patients diagnosed with HLA-B27-associated uveitis at the Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital between the years of 2005 and 2016 were reviewed. Each patient’s presenting complaints, best-corrected visual acuities in first and last visits, biomicroscopic and fundoscopic examination findings, frequency and seasonal distribution of attacks, and demographic data such as age and sex were noted. Therapeutic approaches, duration of follow-up, and complications were analyzed.Results:A total of 91 patients (179 eyes) aged 19-82 years (mean age 46.52±13.06 years) were included. Forty-three patients (47.3%) were female and 48 (52.7%) were male. Bilateral involvement was observed in 44 (48.4%) and unilateral involvement was observed in 47 (51.6%) patients. The most frequent complaint was redness (67%), followed by decreased and/or blurred vision (50.5%). The mean follow-up time was 38.2 months (range, 1-245 months). Anterior uveitis was most common anatomical subtype, seen in 86 (94.5%) of the patients. Mean number of attacks was 1.93±1.45 per patient-year and a significantly higher number of uveitis attacks (47%) occurred in winter. Twenty-four patients (26.3%) were diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Fibrinous uveitis was detected in 36 patients (39.5%). Posterior synechia developed in 41 (22.9%) and hypopyon developed in 7 (3.9%) eyes. The most common complications were cataract (n=12, 6.7%) and ocular hypertension (n=15, 8.3%).Conclusion:Ninety-one (6.3%) of the 1422 patients followed in our uvea clinic were diagnosed with HLA-B27-associated uveitis. HLA-B27-associated uveitis is characterized by acute, recurring sudden-onset iridocyclitis with a moderate to severe amount of fibrin and cells in the anterior chamber, and is easily treatable. Visual prognosis is good despite the complications

Evaluation of Using Prenatalcare Services in Outpatients Applying to Gynecology and Obstetric Polyclinic

Purpose: Antenatal care, one of the strategies aimed at protecting maternal and child health, is to monitor the mother by trained health personnel at regular intervals throughout pregnancy. This study aimed to evaluate the prenatal care service use of pregnant women who attend Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinics. Materials and Methods: The sample universe of this cross-sectional study was pregnant women attending Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic between 01.08.2020-01.09.2020. The questionnaire developed by the researchers was applied to the participants by face-to-face interview technique. Results: All the participants (n=403) received at least one prenatal care service from a health institution. 73.4% (n=296) of the pregnant women received prenatal care, which is required according to their weeks of gestation quantitatively. The highest rate of physical examination in antenatal care follow-ups was fetal heart rate, while the lowest rate was the cardiac auscultation and edema examination rates of the pregnant woman. Conclusion: It was seen that all of the pregnant women received antenatal care at least once, but the number of prenatal care follow-ups required in accordance with their gestational weeks was still not at the desired level. For this reason, there is a need for a study to determine the factors that prevent compliance with the follow-ups and to carry out the ideal four follow-ups of all pregnant women

Aşırı düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde erken dönem solunum desteğinin nörogelişimsel sonuçlarla ilişkisinin incelenmesi

Objective: This study investigated relationship between early respiratory support and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants. Methods: Our study included infants born before 32 weeks’ gestation at a birth weight of 750-1000 g that were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and underwent a neurodevelopmental evaluation at the corrected age of 24 months. Two hundred-twelve infants were divided into 3 groups by determining the predominant type of respiratory support required in the first 3 days of life. Infants who received supplemental oxygen therapy group 1, those who received nasal continuous positive airway pressure and/or nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation were in group 2, and intubated infants were included in group 3. Differences between the groups and relationships between neurodevelopment scores [mental development index (MDI); psychomotor development index (PDI)] were examined. Results: The patients mean birth weight was 887±73 g and mean gestational age was 27±1.9 weeks. MDI and PDI values were below 70 in the intubated patient group (68 and 66, respectively). Patients who received noninvasive ventilation or supplemental oxygen therapy for the first 3 days of life had significantly higher MDI and PDI values. In terms of morbidities of prematurity, intubated infants had higher rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, intraventricular hemorrhage, and retinopathy of prematurity. Conclusion: Restrictive invasive ventilation policies can be applied to preterm infants and may improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. The results of this study suggest that every additional day of invasive mechanical ventilation should be avoided if possible.Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı aşırı düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde erken dönem solunum desteği ile nörogelişimsel sonuçların ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatmış, doğum ağırlığı 750-1000 gram arasında ve gebelik haftası 32 haftadan küçük, çalışma sırasında düzeltilmiş 24 aylık nörogelişim muayenesini 2018 Kasım ayı itibarı ile tamamlamış bebekler çalışmaya dahil edildi. İki yüz on iki bebeğin yaşamının ilk üç gününde hangi solunum desteğine ihtiyaç duyduğu belirlenerek üç ayrı grup oluşturuldu. Ağırlıklı serbest oksijen alan bebekler 1., nazal sürekli pozitif hava yolu basıncı ve/veya nazal aralıklı zorunlu ventilasyon alanlar 2., entübe izlenen bebekler ise 3. gruba alınarak gruplar karşılaştırıldı. Bu üç grup arasındaki farklar ve nörogelişim skorları [mental gelişim indeksi (MDI); psikomotor gelişim indeksi PDI)] arasındaki ilişkiler incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama doğum ağırlığı, 887±73 gr, gebelik haftası 27±1,9 hafta idi. Mekanik ventilatörde entübe izlenen hastaların MDI ve PDI değerleri <70 idi (sırasıyla; 68, 66) idi. İlk üç günde ağırlıklı olarak non-invaziv modda veya serbest oksijen desteği ile takip edilen hastaların MDI ve PDI değerleri daha yüksek saptandı ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Prematüre morbiditeleri açısından analiz edildiğinde ise entübe takip edilen grupta bronkopulmoner displazi, patent duktus arteriozus, intraventriküler hemoraji ve prematüre retinopatisi daha yüksek oranda bulundu. Sonuç: Erken doğmuş bebeklerde kısıtlayıcı invaziv ventilasyon politikası uygulanabilir ve nörogelişimsel sonuçları iyileştirebilir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları göz önüne alındığında; ilave her invaziv mekanik ventilasyon günü mümkün olduğunca önlenmelidir

Use of Intuitive Tools to Enhance Student Learning and User Experience

Most user interfaces today present system functions by use of verbal or iconic symbols on static 2D menu pages organized in a hierarchical system. This is unnatural to all human beings and must be learned, thus being a barrier between the full use and understanding of computer systems. With this problem in mind we set out to build a website and collaborative application for International Children's Center (ICC) which could be used not only across languages but across ages as well. This effort was tested on a daily basis by a multinational team consisting of students from the United States and Turkey as well as children from the respective countries. This attention to usability will not only lead to an intuitive tool for the client but also teach the students in the course how to build intuitive user interfaces
