Bilgisayar Destekli Türkçe Tabanlı Medya İçerik Çözümleme Sistemi – 107K209 Projesi: Bir Olgu İncelemesi

Content analysis is a well-described systematic strategy of inquiry to the analyzed media content object, or in other words, to a communication text. From the very beginning of the research it must be described what is looked after. Theoretic explanations of content analysessometimes differ from practical usage. Research based on content analysis, requires steps, techniques and processes to fix the research on an adequate foundation and to save time and work. A group of researches at Yeditepe University decided to develop a computer assisted content analysis system for Turkish media content. The project was proposed to TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) in form of a scientific research project under the project number 107K209. The project makes use of two scientific methods: Content analysis and information retrieval. In addition to these, quality management is adopted, to reach effective results. All these methodological approaches are driven together as a system design within the systems approach. The purpose of this report is to deliver primary information on the project and to discus methodological, scientific and applied problems and issues related to the project. The nature of the report is descriptive by making use of scientific methods and techniques such as historical description, systems modeling, and the like. The application of content analysis, linguistic, and information retrieval methodologies will be the focal point of the discussion

Language problems in information retrieval

The information retrieval process is under a strong influence of language problems, because of the interaction between information and language. The purpose of this research is to define a theoretical base for the information retrieval process and to discuss causes of language problems occurring in this process. For this reason, the hypothesis of this research has been set as 'the root of language problems of the information retrieval process lies in natural language'. In the first part of the research the theoretical framework of the research area has been drawn with the help of historical and definatorical methods. Within this scope, especially the interaction of the concepts information, writing and language has been examined. In the second part, the information retrieval process and language problems that may occur in this process are discussed with the descriptive modelling method, within linguistic and systems approaches. According to this, historical development of language research has been considered to define the effect of language to the information retrieval process within the systems approach. In this part, especially problems of information retrieval in Turkey related to natural language has been considered. The third and last part, based on application, the hypothesis has been tested with the methods participated observation, cased studies, statistical and qualitative analysis. As a result, the hypothesis has been proven, by the fact that language problems increase in information retrieval systems with foreign languages. According to this result, proposals have been made for the localisation of standards for descriptive cataloguing and bibliographic classification, the application of bibliographic control and authority files and the education of librarians and library users

Risk Perception and Management Strategies in Agricultural Production: A Case Of Adana Province Of Turkey

This study aims to determine and analyze farmers’ risk perceptions and risk management strategies in agricultural production. Data were obtained in 2015 production year from face-to-face interviews of 99 farmers in Yüregir and Karaisalı district of Adana province of Turkey. Factor analysis was used in data reduction to identify a small number of factors related to risk sources and risk strategies in this study. Then, multiple regression model was used to evaluate the influence of socioeconomic characteristics on the farmers’ risk perceptions and risk management strategies using factor loadings. The results of this study show that the most important risk source that the farmers' perceive is availability of many middlemens in agriculture and food market and risk management strategy that the farmers' perceive is producing at the lowest cost. The result of factor analysis showed that the risk scale consists of 5 factors explaining 60.66% of total variance. The internal consistency coefficient Cronbach Alfa of the scale is 0.918 and KMO is 0.869. The risk management scale consists of 4 factors explaining 64.23% of total variance. The internal consistency coefficient Cronbach Alfa of the scale is 0.944 and KMO is 0.910. According to the results, perceptions are farmer-specific, a number of socio-economic variables are found to be related to risk and risk management. Improving of risk management strategies is useful for farmers as well and might help them to avoid many risks and reduce losses

Tanısal laparoskopi sonuçları 8 yıllık deneyim

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı kliniğimizde yapmış olduğumuz tanısal laparoskopi sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesidir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Haziran 2001 - Aralık 2008 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde tanısal laparoskopi yapılan 93 hastanın kayıtları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Tanısal laparoskopi için en sık endikasyonlar sırasıyla infertilite (n=81, %87,1) ve kronik pelvik ağrıydı (n=12, %12,9). İnfertil hastaların 33.3’ünde (27/81) ve kronik pelvik ağrısı bulunan hastaların %58,3%’ünde (7/12) pelvik patoloji gözlenmiştir.Bütün vakalar içinde endometriosis ve adezyon görülme sıklığı sırasıyla %16,1 (n=15) ve %9,6’dı (n=9). SONUÇ: İnfertilite problemi ve kronik pelvik ağrısı bulunan has talarda tanısal laparoskopi sık kullanılmaktadır. Uzmanlık eğitim programlarına tanısal laparoskopinin dahil edilmesi klinik pratikte komplikasyon oranlarını düşürecektir.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of diagnostic laparoscopy examinations performed in our clinic. STUDY DESIGN: Hospital records of 93 patients, who had undergone diagnostic laparoscopy in our clinic between June 2001 and December 2008, were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: The most common indications for diagnostic laparoscopy were infertility (n=81, 87.1%) and chronic pelvic pain (n=12, 12.9%). Pelvic findings were noted in 33.3% (27/81) of infertile patients and 58.3% (7/12) of patients with chronic pelvic pain. The frequencies of endometriosis and adhesions were 16.1% (n=15) and 9.6% (n=9), respectively, among all cases. CONCLUSION: Diagnostic laparoscopy, used as the standard method for the assessment of patients with infertility and chronic pelvic pain, should be used more often in differential diagnosis. Inclusion of diagnostic laparoscopy in residency training programs would reduce the complication rates in future clinical practice

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Sendromu (uterus didelphys, kör hemivajen ve ipsilateral renal agenezi) – vaka sunumu

Kör hemivajen ile beraber olan uterovajinal duplikasyon ve ipsilateral renal agenezi Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) Sendromu olarak tanımlanır. 17 yaşındaki hasta; 13 yaşında gördüğü ilk adetinden itibaren olan ve son bir yılda şiddeti artan sağ kasık ağrısı ve dismenore şikayetleri ile acil servise başvurdu. Ultrasonda; sağ pelvik kitle (5x5 cm), çifte endometrial eko ve hematokolpos tespit edildi. Yapılan magnetik rezonans görüntülemesi ve intravenöz pyelografisinde; sağ pelvik kitle, sağ böbrek agenezi, çifte uterus, ve hematokolposla beraber olan kör hemivajen tespit edildi. Yapılan diagnostik laparoskopide; kalın yapışıklıklarla olan sağ tubaovaryen abse ve çift uterus tespit edildi. Abse drene edildi ve yapışıklıklar açıldı. Hastaya antibiyotik tedavisi verildikten sonra tekrar opere edildi ve vajinal septum eksize edilerek pyokolpos drene edildi. Hastanın takiplerinde herhangi bir şikayeti olmadı. Bu sendromun erken ve doğru tespit ve tedavisi, bu problemi yaşayan hastaların refahını belirgin olarak artırabilir ve yaşanabilecek komplikasyonları engelleyebilir.Uterovaginal duplication with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis is referred to as the Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome. A 17 year old woman presented with right pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea, present since menarche at 13 and worsening over the past year. Ultrasound examination revealed a right pelvic mass (5x5 cm), double endometrial echoes, and hematocolpos. A right pelvic mass, agenesis of the right kidney, double uterus, and blind hemivagina with hematocolpos were detected by magnetic resonance imaging and intravenous pyelography. A right tubo-ovarian abscess with dense adhesions and a double uterus were observed on diagnostic laparoscopy. Adhesiolysis was carried out and purulent material irrigated. After a course of antibiotics, a vaginal septum resection was performed and the pyocolpos drained. She remained symptom free after four months of follow-up.
