Effect of different irrigation applications on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of table grape under Manisa conditions

A field study was conducted to investigate effects of full and deficit water level on fresh yield, and quality parameters of seedless grape using drip irrigation system in the Alaşehir plain, Manisa during the 2016 growing season. Treatment layout was conducted to a randomized complete block design as three replications. In the trial, two known development stages (budburst-flowering; flowering-veraison) of the plant were considered and a total of 8 different drip irrigation treatments were investigated. The irrigation treatments were based on soil water depletion replenishments from the effective root zone (0-90 cm). As a results of the study, different irrigation treatments significantly (p<0.01) affected the fresh grape yield and yield components. The highest average fresh grape yield (3960 kg da-1) was obtained from the full irrigated treatment (S1). Irrigation water was applied 13 times during the growing season for the treatments. The amounts of applied irrigation water 554.8 mm and seasonal water consumption value 616.2 mm were determined from the full irrigation treatment (S1). The yield response factor (ky) were found to be 1.21 and 0.85, for the budburst-flowering and flowering-veraison stages, respectively. Seasonal ky value of 1.04 was determined based on irrigation treatments. Water use efficiency (WUE) values varied from 5.91 to 10.63 kg m-3 and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) values varied from 6.51 to 9.72 kg m-3 for the irrigation treatments. It is concluded that full irrigated treatment (S1) could be used under no water shortage conditions during the growing season to obtain highest fresh yield and quality parameters. In the case of limited water supply conditions, deficit irrigation treatment (S2) could be used to maintain satisfactory growth and yield

Bilateral Femoroacetabular Impingement: The Fate of the Asymptomatic Hip

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bilateral femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in a consecutive group of patients and to evaluate the fate of the asymptomatic hip with FAI. Method: Between 2004 to 2016, 652 patients presented with hip pain arising from underlying FAI. Diagnosis of FAI was made based on clinical symptoms and imaging. 557 patients (646 hips) were included for the final analysis. Of these, 170 patients had bilateral radiological diagnosis of FAI. Of these, 88 patients presented with bilateral hip symptoms. The remaining 82 patients had unilateral hip symptoms. Of these 82 patients, 8 patients decided to have surgery on both hips under the same anesthesia. The remaining 74 patients decided to have the contralateral asymptomatic hip with FAI observed. Results: Of the cohort with bilateral FAI and an asymptomatic hip, 60 patients became symptomatic at an average 2.1 years follow-up. Of these 60 patients 43 patients needed surgical intervention. Binary logistic regression model identified that reduced neck shaft angle, increased lateral CE angle and increased alpha angle, younger age as predictors for developing symptoms in the contralateral hip. Discussion: Based on this study it appears that the incidence of bilateral FAI is common. The majority of patients with unilateral symptomatic FAI and radiographic evidence of bilateral FAI become symptomatic relatively quickly and require surgical intervention in the contralateral hip

Frequency and characteristics of tooth agenesis among an orthodontic patient population

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of tooth agenesis and the associated skeletal morphology and arch widths in a group of Turkish patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods: We designed a retrospective study composed of pre- and post-treatment panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalometric films of 3,341 patients (2,040 females and 1,301 males). Tooth agenesis was evaluated for hypodontia and oligodontia -excluding the third molars- from the orthopantomograms. The significance test for the differences in the skeletal morphology between hypodontia and non-hypodontia patients was performed using the Pearson chi-square and Student t-test. Results: The prevalence of tooth agenesis was 4.6 percent for the Turkish orthodontic patient population. Tooth agenesis was found more frequently in females than in males, although this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The most commonly missing teeth were the maxillary lateral incisors, followed by the mandibular second premolars and mandibular central incisors. Intercanine and intermolar widths in the maxillary and mandibular arches were significantly reduced in the hypodontia group compared with the control group (p0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of tooth agenesis was found to be 4.6 percent for the Turkish orthodontic patient population (hypodontia 4.3% and oligodontia 0.3%), and was found more frequently in females. Intercanine and intermolar widths were significantly reduced in the hypodontia group for both jaws compared with the control grou

Eğitime Konu Edilecek Değerlerin Belirlenmesinde Çocuğun İhtiyaçlarının Ekolojik Sistem Yaklaşımı ile İncelenmesi

İnsanlar çeşitli olay ve olgular karşısında takınacakları tavırları ve sergileyecekleri davranışları belirlerken kendi ihtiyaç ve beklentilerinin yanı sıra ait oldukları gruplar ile içinde yaşadıkları toplumun ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini de göz önünde bulundururlar. Bu durum öğrencilerin ihtiyaç ve beklentilerinin tespiti, eğitim durumlarının düzenlenmesi, bir diğer ifadeyle öğrenme yaşantılarını sağlayacak dış koşulların düzenlenmesi ve işe koşulmasıyla yakından ilgilidir. Söz konusu ihtiyaç ve beklentiler, eğitim durumlarının olduğu kadar değer eğitimi sistemlerinin de temelini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma, eğitimde içerik hazırlama çalışmaları çerçevesinde değerlerin belirlenmesinde çocuğun kendisinin, mensubu olduğu grubun/grupların ve içinde yaşadığı toplumun ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini konu edinmektedir. Literatür taramasına ve doküman incelemesine dayalı bu çalışmanın problemi, çocukların yukarıda sözü edilen parametreler çerçevesinde ortak bir değer anlayışı geliştirebilmelerini sağlayacak bütüncül bir anlayış ve yaklaşım mümkün müdür sorusudur. Alan yazında, sözü edilen paydaşların ihtiyaç ve beklentileri ile değer gelişimi arasındaki ilişkiyi konu alan çalışmaların sınırlı olması; ayrıca söz konusu ilişkiye dair yeterli farkındalığın, derinliğin ve bilgi seviyesinin bulunmaması bu çalışmayı önemli kılan hususların başında gelmektedir
