EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECT OF NATIONAL AND AMATEUR DISABLED ATHLETES’ DISABILTY TYPES ON SPORTS PARTICIPATION MOTIVATION

In this study, the effect of motivation of participation in sports on various variables according to disability types of national athletes with disabilities and disabled amateur athletes has been examined. The sample of the study consisted of 159 male (127 amateurs, 32 national) who played sports in the sports clubs of the Physically Disabled Federation, the Hearing Impaired Federation, the Federation of the Visually Impaired Federation in the 2018-2019 season and played sports nationally (N = 47) in the relevant federations and 60 female (45 amateurs, 15 nationals) disabled athletes. In the research, “Sports Participation Motivation Scale in Disabled Persons” (SPMSDP) developed by Tekkurşun, Demir, İlhan, Esentürk and Kan (2018) was used as a data collection tool. In the analysis of the data obtained in the research; frequency, arithmetic average, standard deviation; Pearson Moment Correlation Test, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. According to the research result; internal motivation scores of nationally visually impaired athletes from the scores of visually impaired athletes engaged in amateur sports; internal motivation scores of national athletes with disabilities are the scores of athletes with visual impairments who do amateur sports; from the scores of the physically disabled athletes' intrinsic motivation scores, participation of visually impaired and hearing impaired athletes; Among the scores of the male motivated and visually impaired athletes, the average of the intrinsic motivation points of the male athletes with physical disabilities; the mean score of the athletes with low economic status, hearing, and physical disability athletes with a low average economic status; It was found that the score average of a motivational of the athletes with disabilities in primary school graduates was significantly higher than the average scores of athletes with high school and secondary school graduates.

DETECTING GLASS SURFACE CORROSION WITH IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUE

Glass is a kind of amorphous materials that exhibits a transition from rigid to viscous state and finally liquid state when heated. For daily usage, it is desirable to have different forms and differenttransparencies for different purposes. Most widely used one is the one with high transparency and flat surface.One of the detrimental effects that glass is undergone during the storage or usage periods is corrosion. In this work, a way for detecting corrosion on the glass surface by image processing methodis presented

Mean platelet volume is elevated in patients with patent foramen ovale

INTRODUCTION: Platelets play a major role in thromboembolic events. Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) indicates higher platelet reactivity and also a tendency to thrombosis. Patent foramen ovale (PFO), persistence of the fetal anatomic shunt between right and left atria, is strongly associated with cryptogenic stroke. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between MPV and PFO and if such an association exists, whether higher MPV levels may require antiplatelet therapy before a thromboembolic event happens, together with a literature review. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty patients (15 women, 15 men), free of any cerebrovascular events, were diagnosed with PFO by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), enrolled as the study group. Thirty consecutive patients (16 women and 14 men), who were diagnosed as normal in TEE, were enrolled as the control group. These two groups were compared according to MPV and anatomical features of the right atrium. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between study and control groups in clinical features and also no difference was observed in platelet counts; however, MPV in the PFO group was significantly higher than the control group (8.38 ±0.93 fl and 7.45 ±0.68 fl respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that elevated MPV may be detected in patients with PFO. This might be one of the explanations for the relationship between PFO and cryptogenic stroke; however, larger cohorts are warranted in order to define further mechanisms

Synchronous Appearance of a High-Grade Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Ampulla Vater and Sigmoid Colon Adenocarcinoma

Neuroendocrine carcinoma is a relatively rare tumor and its coexistence with other primary cancers is very exceptional. We present a case of a 63-year-old woman with biliary obstruction due to a high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma located in ampulla of Vater who was found to have a synchronous sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma while undergoing staging laparotomy and pancreas head resection. Medical history was significant only for basal cell skin cancer. Immunohistochemical examination revealed the concurrence of histologically proved neuroendocrine carcinoma (chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and CD56 were positive) and Stage II (T3, N0, and M0) according to the TNM staging classification of colorectal cancer. The coexistence of neuroendocrine tumors with either synchronous or metachronous unrelated cancer is increasingly recognized. The patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma should be evaluated for secondary primary malignancies

Başkent Üniversitesi Ankara Hastanesi erişkin acil servisinin 2013 yılı mali gelir-gider analizi

Acil servisler ve acil servis hizmetleri insan hayatının yaşamsal bileşenlerinden biridir. Dünya genelinde acil servis hizmetleri genellikle sağlık hakkının ve insan haklarının bir parçası olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu gerçeğe rağmen, rekabet politikalarının bir sonucu olarak genelde sağlık hizmetleri ve özelde acil hizmetleri için çok sayıda tartışma gündeme gelmektedir. Bu tartışmalar, belirtilen servislerin karlılığı konusuna odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Başkent Üniversitesi Ankara Hastanesi acil servisinin 2013 yılı için mali analizini yapmaktır. Mali analizden önce, konunun akademik boyutunun anlaşılması amacıyla, sağlık hakkı ve sağlık hizmetleri kavramları, bu kavramların farklı refah rejimleri için taşıdığı anlamlar ve acil servislerin ve hizmetlerinin teorik arka planı açıklanmıştır. Burada kavramlar Türkiye için de ayrıca tartışılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacına uygun olarak, 2013 yılı için bir genel analiz ve bu yılın tüm ayları için özel bir analiz yapılmıştır. Analizde, gelirler, giderler, personel sayısı, hasta sayısı, hastaların demografik özellikleri ana göstergeler olarak alınmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmanın konusuna benzer özellikler taşıyan diğer çalışmalarla bir karşılaştırma da gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre Başkent Üniversitesi Ankara Hastanesi acil servisi için önemli bir finansal dengesizlik durumu söz konusudur. Bu nedenle çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde bazı önerilere yer verilmiştir. Ancak bu noktada unutulmaması gereken bir gerçeğin söz konusu olduğu belirtilmelidir. Yukarıda belirtildiği gibi, sağlık evrensel bir insan hakkıdır ve acil hizmetleri de bu hakkın bir parçasıdır. Konuyla ilgili mali analizler yapılırken bu gerçeklik hiçbir zaman gözden kaçırılmamalıdır
