A governance model for ıncreasing the positive effects of ınstitutions on the long run economic growth

The main aim of this study is to critically analyze the effects of institutions on economic growth on the basis of a deeply literature review with a technological point of view. This study found that culture, traditions, tacit knowledge, openness to innovations are the outstanding points in new century and we assert that for increasing positive effects of institutions in the long term there should be a model for management and governance of business of institutions that is the whole economy in the digital macroeconomics. In the era of the upcoming industry 4.0, smart cities and egovernment paradigms there should be integration of IT and business processes via a valid management and governance model. With the assumption that innovation digestion and cutting-edge IT capability of institutions have positive effect on their profitability and competency in the market, COBIT model is found to be a valid and sustainable framework for effective and efficient institutional set-ups that provide a sustainable platform for economic value creation cycle.Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, kurumların ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkilerini derinlemesine bir literatür taraması temelinde eleştirel olarak analiz etmek ve teknolojik bakış açısıyla bu hususta bir çözümleme üretmeye çalışmaktır. Bu çalışma, kültür, gelenekler, zımni bilginin, yeniliklere açıklığın, yeni yüzyılda öne çıkan noktalar olduğunu ve uzun vadede kurumların olumlu etkilerini arttırmak için kurumların dijital makroekonomide bir yönetim ve yönetişim modelinin gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. Endustri 4.0, akıllı şehirler ve e-devlet çağında bilgi teknolojileri (BT) ile iş süreçlerinin bir geçerli yönetim ve yönetişim modeli sayesinde entegre edilmesi gerekir. Yenilikçilik iştahının ve kurumların BT becerilerinin kapasitelerinin piyasadaki karlılık ve yetkinliklerini olumlu yönde etkilediği varsayımıyla, COBIT modeli, sürdürülebilir bir platform sağlayan etkin ve verimli kurumsal kurulumların ekonomik değer yaratma döngüsü için geçerli ve sürdürülebilir bir çerçeve olabildiği tespit edilmiştir

Farklı partenogenetik aktivasyon sürelerinin fare embriyo gelişimi ve kalitesi üzerine etkileri

In the present study we investigate the effects of parthenogenetic activation on in vitro embryo development and quality in different activation periods. oocytes were obtained 14 hours after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection from superovulated B6D2F1 female mice then parthenogenetic activation started 18 hours after hCG injection. The oocytes were activated at different activation periods for 3, 4, 5 or 6 hours in 10 mM strontium chloride (SrCl2)+ 5 μg/mL-1 Cytohalasine B (CB) + 5 nM Trichostatin A (TSA) containing a Ca 2+ free Chatot Ziomek Brinster (CZB) activation medium, followed by further incubation for two hours at 37°C and 5% CO2 in embryo culturing medium + TSA. The results in the present study suggested that the parthenogenetic activation of the 6 hour activation period was found to be higher than at 3, 4 and 5 hours.Çalışmamızın amacı, partenogenetik aktivasyonda farklı aktivasyon sürelerinin in vitro embriyo gelişimi ve kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır. Superovule B6D2F1 ırkı dişi farelere uygulanan insan koryonik gonadotropin (hCG) enjeksiyonundan 14 saat sonra oositler elde edildi ve 18 saat sonra partenogenetik aktivasyona başlandı. Oositler, 10 mM stronsiyum klorür (SrCl2) + 5 μg/mL-1 sitokalazin B (CB) + 5 nM trikostatin A (TSA) Ca 2+ içermeyen Chatot Ziomek Brinster (CZB) medyumu içerisinde 3, 4, 5 ve 6 saat bekletildi. Aktivasyon sonrası, embriyo kültür medyumu + TSA’da inkübatörde 37°C ve %5 CO2 ortamında 2 saat bekletildi. Son olarak, tüm embriyolar 120 saat süre ile kültüre edildi.

İslamiyet Öncesi Türk Devletlerinde öldürülen ve intihar eden hükümdarlar

Dünyada Türk tarihine baktığımızda Türklerin, bir coğrafyada sabit olarak yaşadığını görmek pek mümkün değildir. Pek çok coğrafyada boy göstermişlerdir. Bir milletin yerinde durmayıp da sürekli yer değiştirmesi olağan bir şey değildir. Milletler durduk yere ülkesinden, toprağından vazgeçip başka coğrafyalara göçmezler. Milletlerin farklı coğrafyalara göç etmesinin birçok nedeni olmuştur. Kimi devletler ekonomik nedenlerle, kimi devletler de siyasi nedenlerle göç etmişlerdir. Türklerin yaptıkları göçlerinin sebeplerine baktığımızda ilkim değişikliği, açlık ve kuraklık gibi tabii felaketlerin yanı sıra kendi aralarında ve komşu kavimlerle yaptıkları savaşların etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Toprağın artan nüfusu besleyemez hale gelmesi ve temel ekonomisi hayvancılığa dayalı bir toplumun sürüleri için gerekli olan yaylak arayışına girmeleri de göçlerin önemli sebepleri arasındadır.2 Öte yandan nüfusun artması sonucu yaşanan göç hareketlerinin yanı sıra Türk cihan hâkimiyet anlayışı gereğince gerçekleşen göçlere de rastlanır

A simple heart valve replacement technique which improves surgical time

Aim of the study: Different heart valve replacement techniques have been described in the literature. In the present study, a simple and very fast heart valve replacement technique is presented. Material and methods: In a two-year period, 87 patients with the diagnosis of mitral valve disease, aortic valve disease or combined valve disease underwent valve replacement performed by the same surgeon. In this technique, the valve was implanted with the valve clamped to the surgical dressing without the assistant holding it. Patients with coexisting surgical pathologies were excluded from the study. A control group was created among the patients who were operated on during the same time period by different surgeons with the assistant holding the prosthesis. Control group operations were done by conventional valve holding and suturing techniques. Results: Mean age of the patients was 61.6 ± 3.2 years. Mitral valve replacement (MVR) was done to 51 patients, aortic valve replacement (AVR) to 12 patients and both aortic and MVR to 24 patients. Aortic cross clamp duration was 30.7 ± 3.3 min for MVR, 34.8 ± 6.2 min for AVR and 69.1 ± 6.1 min for both valve replacements. Aortic clamping durations were significantly higher in the conventional implantation technique. Discussion: The described technique has many advantages such as short myocardial ischemia duration, better exposure of the surgical field and facilitation of assistance. © 2014 Termedia Sp. z o.o.

Modified quadruple therapy or bismuth-containing quadruple therapy in the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori in Turkey

Aim: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication is still an important issue in countries with high antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two bismuth-containing treatment modalities in H. pylori treatment in Turkey. Material and methods: subjects with H. pylori infection who were treated with either bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (pantoprazole 40 mg bid, tetracycline 500 mg qid, metronidazole 500 mg tid, bismuth subcitrate 262 mg qid daily) (BQT group) or modified quadruple therapy (pantoprazole 40 mg bid, amoxicillin 1g bid, metronidazole 500 mg tid, bismuth subcitrate 262 mg qid daily) (MBQT group) for 14 days were compared, retrospectively. The eradication success rate, adverse events related to the medications and compliance were investigated. Results: a total of 128 patients in the BQT group and 102 patients in the MBQT group completed the treatment. The overall rate of adverse events was significantly higher in the BQT group compared with the MBQT group (39.4 % vs 18.6; p: 0.001). Among the adverse events, nausea-vomiting and abdominal discomfort was significantly more frequent in the BQT group than in the MBQT group (p: 0.001). The adverse events were mild-moderate in both groups and life threatening adverse events were not present in any of the patients. Conclusion: although both regimens were highly effective and safe in H. pylori eradication, both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) eradication rates were higher and adverse events were lower in the modified quadruple therapy group. Modified quadruple therapy should be kept in mind for the first-line treatment of H. pylori in regions with high clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance
