Relationship between art and politics

World Conference on Design, Arts and Education (DAE) -- MAY 01-04, 2012 -- Antalya, TURKEYWOS: 000316256000078The purpose of this study is to determine relationship between art and politics. the study was carried out as a case study approach and realized with seven volunteer participants who have idea about both art and politics. Data were gathered with semi-structured interview form. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. At the end of the study, it was determined that art contributes politics in different areas such as critical thinking, aesthetic, directing societies, providing peace and order. Also it has been obtained from the study that art specific politics is directly proportional to with art' world view or beauties human-specific. Also, it was determined that artists should have a say in politics, but artists gone into politics cannot act as an artist as they before did. on the other hand, it was determined that art and artist affects societies without reflect a political opinion and preserving own artistic identity. It was recommended that art must inform society about communal, social and economic problems. Both artists and politicians must be leading in order to reach art's deserve position or target expected.

Effects of Seedling Age, and Different Levels of N, K and K/N on Quality and Yield of Tomato Grown in Perlite Bag Culture

The object of the study was to investigate the effects of seedling age, and different levels of N, K and K/N on growth and yield of tomato grown in perlite bag culture. Seeds of Big Boy F1 sown in perlite and subsequently seedlings were planted in ten-liter PE bag filled with coarse perlite. Four fertigation regimes were applied to the plants concerning four N (103, 110, 113 and 120 mg/l), four K (186, 195, 258 and 275 mg/l) and two K/N (1,6 and 2,5) levels. Thrace element levels were the same for all the gertigation regimes. Seedling were planted at three different growth stages; 1)appearence of first inflorescence, 2)50% flower opening on first cluster and 3)fruit set on first cluster. Altough effects of seedling age on total, marketable and early yield, and cracking and Blossom-end rot occurrence were not statistically significant, total, marketable and early yield were higher when the seedling were planted at the time of fruit set on first cluster. The highest total, early and marketable yields were obtained from the transplants planted at fruit set on first truss with FR1 (plants were fertigated with the high K/N starter solution: K/N= 2,5; 110 mg l-1 N and 275 mg l-1 K until the fruits on the first truss reached 2cm in diameter, then with the low K/N mainfed solution; K/N= 1,6; 120 mg l-1 N and 195 mg l-1 K for the rest of the vegetation)

Multivariate Granger Causality between Electricity Generation, Exports, Prices and Economic Growth in Turkey

This study is the first employing annual data for Turkey from 1970 to 2010 to examine the short and long-run causal relationship between economic growth, electricity generation, exports and prices in a multivariate model. According to the bounds test results, when electricity generation and economic growth are the dependent variable there are two cointegrating relationships. According to the results, long-run equilibrium relationship and long-term causality are found between economic growth, electricity generation, export and price. Hence, in the short-run, there are bi-directional causalities between economic growth- electricity generation, economic growth-export and electricity generation-export with feedback effect. Keywords: Electricity generation; economic growth; bounds testing; Granger causality; Turkey. JEL Classifications: O4; Q

Median AST level was34.6 U/L and ALT was 51.9 U/L. Tehre was diabetes mellitus in 15 patients.Obesity, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellituswere important risk factors forNASH in our region. Steatohepatitis was more comman in male group. Inconclusion patients with hepatosteatosis must be evaluated with respect tosteatohepatitis and, if necessary, must be treated

Effect of MDR C3435T polymorphism on Varenicline treatment in quit smoking

Despite so many global efforts, smoking still remains to be one of the most common addictions worldwide. Even though most smokers wish to quit smoking, many of them fail. In this respect, genetic variants are thought to be remarkable factors in nicotine dependence and in treatment of smoking cessation. This is a paper investigating a single variant p-glycoprotein (P-gp) polymorphisms and its effect on Varenicline efficacy in the smoking cessation. 158 smokers and 52 non-smoker healthy volunteers were included. We determined the P-gp C3435T gene polymorphisms in all subjects. Face to face interviews with smokers were performed for smoking cessation and Varenicline was given for smoking cessation. Cessation success was evaluated in the 6th month and success rates were compared according to the P-gp genotype distributions. In our study, smoking cessation rate by Varenicline was 57.0%. This rate was 55.0% in females, and 57.2% in males (p=0.85). The P-gp C3435T gene distribution was similar in control, quitters and not-quitter groups. Cessation rate was at highest point in genotype CT (62.2%) and at the lowest in TT (47.6%). It was 53.8% in genotype CC and there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.27). Our results suggest that genetic variants of P-gp C3435T did not significantly affect Varenicline treatment for smoking cessation

Professional Identities of Vocational High School Students and Extracurricular Activities

Vocational high schools are one of the controversial topics, and also the hardly touched fields in educational field. Students’ profiles of vocational schools, their visions, and professional identity developments are not frequently reflected in the literature. Therefore, the main aim of the study is to research whether vocational high school students’ professional identities are supported with extracurricular activities. Followingly, it was also researched whether vocational high school students’ future professional identities complied with their selected school and/or specialized fields. The research was conducted on qualitative research approach through semi-structured question form and analyzed via descriptive and content analysis of qualitative research methods. Results revealed that vocational high school students did not take part in extracurricular activities regarding their professional identities since the schools did not organize these activities. The responses also emphasized that existing extracurricular activities organized outside of the school were insufficient and there was an immediate need for such activities. Additionally, most of the participants highlighted that they selected their schools/department as an obligation. Based on the results, it was revealed that vocational and technical high schools should not focus on extracurricular activities to improve students’ basic and further skills. It is suggested that extracurricular activities should be cared more for students’ academic and practice skills. Moreover, the students and their parents should understand and be introduced to the profession before they come to a future decision

Automatic Collapsing of Non-Rectangular Loops

International audienceLoop collapsing is a well-known loop transformation which combines some loops that are perfectly nested into one single loop. It allows to take advantage of the whole amount of parallelism exhibited by the collapsed loops, and provides a perfect load balancing of iterations among the parallel threads. However, in the current implementations of this loop optimization , as the ones of the OpenMP language, automatic loop collapsing is limited to loops with constant loop bounds that define rectangular iteration spaces, although load imbalance is a particularly crucial issue with non-rectangular loops. The OpenMP language addresses load balance mostly through dynamic runtime scheduling of the parallel threads. Nevertheless, this runtime schedule introduces some unavoidable execution-time overhead, while preventing to exploit the entire parallelism of all the parallel loops. In this paper, we propose a technique to automatically collapse any perfectly nested loops defining non-rectangular iteration spaces, whose bounds are linear functions of the loop iterators. Such spaces may be triangular, tetrahedral, trapezoidal, rhomboidal or parallelepiped. Our solution is based on original mathematical results addressing the inversion of a multi-variate polynomial that defines a ranking of the integer points contained in a convex polyhedron. We show on a set of non-rectangular loop nests that our technique allows to generate parallel OpenMP codes that outperform the original parallel loop nests, parallelized either by using options " static " or " dynamic " of the OpenMP-schedule clause

Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is associated with right ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Background: Acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality particularly among patients with coexisting right ventricular (RV) involvement. High neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events and mortality in patients with myocardial infarction. This study evaluated the relationship between the NLR and RV dysfunction (RVD) in patients with inferior STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 213 subjects with inferior STEMI were divided into two groups according to the presence of RVD. The groups were compared according to NLR and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to access the predictability of NLR on having RVD. Results: The NLR was significantly higher in the group with RVD compared to that without RVD (p < 0.001). In ROC analysis, NLR > 3.5 predicted RVD with sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 55%. In a multivariate regression analysis, NLR remained an independent predictor of RVD (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.285–1.750, p < 0.001). Conclusions: NLR was an independent predictor of RVD in patients with inferior STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
