Übersetzungsprobleme literarischer Werke bei bilingualen Studierenden: Eine Fehleranalyse anhand Stefan Zweigs Romanen

Bilinguale sind fähig, Inhalte in zwei Sprachen zu verstehen und in beiden Sprachen zu kommunizieren. Bei einem Übersetzungsprozess reicht es jedoch nicht, zwei Sprachen zu beherrschen, da die Übertragung eines Ausgangstextes in die Zielsprache außer Sprachwissen weitere Kompetenzen erfordert. Insbesondere in Übersetzungen von literarischen Texten, in denen der Stil und die Gattung sehr bedeutend sein können, bei Bilingualen häufig Fehler auftreten. Diese Arbeit hat es zum Ziel, eine Fehleranalyse anhand literarischen Übersetzungen zu machen und die von Bilingualen häufig geführten Fehlerarten festzustellen. Dafür werden aus drei verschiedenen Universitäten Studierende ausgewählt und von ihnen erwartet, dass sie Textteile aus Stefan Zweigs verschiedenen Werken übersetzen. Die Studierenden übersetzten insgesamt zehn Sätze, die aus stilistischer, orthographischer, semantischer, syntaktischer, morphologischer und pragmatischer Perspektive bewertet werden. Apropos diesem Verfahren werden auch auf die Entsprechungstypen Werner Kollers geachtet

An assessment of the Quality of Information for Patients on YouTube™ Regarding Orthodontic Elastics

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the quality of the information available to patients on YouTube™ concerning orthodontic elastics.Methods: A systematic search was carried out on YouTube™ using the keyword “elastics.” The first 120 videos were viewed by 2 independent reviewers, and after the inclusion criteria were applied, 39 videos were excluded from the study. Demographic data of the videos were collected for the remaining 81 videos. For each video, its purpose, target audience, and source were also recorded. A 10-point content scale was used to evaluate the video content. The Global Quality Scale was also used to determine the quality of the videos. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests, and correlation coefficient analyses were performed using Spearman’s rho.Results: In total, 36% of the included videos were uploaded by dentists and 22% by laypersons. In 77% of the videos, the purpose was to inform laypersons, and in 4%, the purpose was to inform professionals only. The content discussed the most (85.2%) was the instruction of orthodontic elastics use. The mean 10-point Content Scale score and Global Quality Scale score of the videos were 2.25 ± 1.99 (poor) and 2.60 ± 0.73 (moderate), respectively. There was a positive correlation between 10-point Content Scale and Global Quality Scale score (r = 0.258).Conclusion: The information available on YouTube™ regarding orthodontic elastics is quite poor and can be misleading for patients. Therefore, health professionals with evidence-based knowledge and clinical experience should improve the way they use YouTube™ to inform patients about the correct use of orthodontic elastics and to improve compliance with wearing orthodontic elastics

The Perception of Adults and Adolescents of Undergoing and Paying for Tooth Movement Acceleration Procedures in Turkey

Objective:The aim of this study is to evaluate the opinions of adolescents and adults regarding nonconventional methods and their associated payment options in Turkey.Methods:A total of 183 subjects were asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate their perception of various nonconventional acceleration methods: corticotomy, piezocision, micro -oste operf orati on, vibration, drug injection, and customized appliances. The questionnaire also investigated how willing the patients would be to pay more and how much more they would accept to reduce the treatment time.Results:About 38.7% of the adolescents and 44.4% of the adults were willing to undergo an additional procedure, and 59.6% of both groups chose customized appliances as their first preference as a way of accelerating the treatment process. About 45.4% of the total participants were neutral about paying more to reduce treatment time. Those patients who were willing to pay more accepted a maximum increase of only 10% even if that meant a 50% decrease in treatment time.Conclusion:Adults were slightly less tolerant of the duration of orthodontic treatment than adolescents and were more likely to undergo additional procedures and pay more for a shorter treatment time. In addition, the invasiveness of each procedure was the primary factor given when choosing an acceleration method, rather than its reduction rate

TOPLAM KALİTE YÖNETİMİ UYGULAMALARI İLE HASTANE ÇALIŞANLARININ İŞ TATMİNİ, İŞ YAŞAM KALİTESİ VE İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Toplam Kalite Yönetimi (TKY) uygulamaları ile iş tatmini, iş yaşam kalitesi ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiyi, hastane çalışanlarının algıları üzerinden karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya koymak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışma, Ankara’da faaliyet gösteren 5 özel hastane ve 2 eğitim-araştırma hastanesinde çalışan 515 personele uygulanan anket aracılığı ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada kuramsal modellerde gözlenen ve gizli değişkenler arasındaki nedensel ilişkileri açıklamak üzere tasarlanan hipotezlerin test edilmesinde kullanılan Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM)’nden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma sonucunda; toplam kalite yönetimi ile iş tatmini, TKY ile iş yaşam kalitesi ve iş tatmini ile iş yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki, iş tatmini ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasında anlamlı bir negatif ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Özgünlük: Bu çalışmada literatürdeki mevcut çalışmalardan farklı olarak, TKY, iş tatmini, iş yaşam kalitesi ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki ilişki kamu hastaneleri ile özel hastanelerde çalışan idari personel ve sağlık personelinde karşılaştırmalı olarak birlikte incelenmiştir

Immunization status in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A multicenter study from Turkey

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to detect the prevalence and the factors associated with influenza and pneumococcal vaccination and outcomes of vaccination during 2013-2014 season in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Turkey. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study performed in 53 different centers in Turkey. RESULTS: During the study period, 4968 patients were included. COPD was staged as GOLD 1-2-3-4 in 9.0%, 42.8%, 35.0%, and 13.2% of the patients, respectively. Influenza vaccination rate in the previous year was 37.9%; and pneumococcus vaccination rate, at least once during in a life time, was 13.3%. Patients with older age, higher level of education, more severe COPD, and comorbidities, ex-smokers, and patients residing in urban areas had higher rates of influenza vaccination. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, higher education levels, presence of comorbidities, higher COPD stages, and exacerbation rates were associated with both influenza and pneumococcal vaccination. The number of annual physician/outpatient visits and hospitalizations due to COPD exacerbation was 2.73 +/- 2.85 and 0.92 +/- 1.58 per year, respectively. Patients with older age, lower education levels, more severe COPD, comorbid diseases, and lower body mass index and patients who are male and are residing in rural areas and vaccinated for influenza had significantly higher rates of COPD exacerbation. CONCLUSIONS: The rates of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination in COPD patients were quite low, and the number of annual physician/outpatient visits and hospitalizations due to COPD exacerbation was high in Turkey. Advanced age, higher education levels, comorbidities, and higher COPD stages were associated with both influenza and pneumococcal vaccination

Sığacık Körfezi'nde dağılım gösteren Sepia Orbignyana'nın Férussac, 1826 üreme biyolojisi/

Örneklemeler İzmir Sığacık Körfezinden 150-350-550 m derinliklerden dip trolü ile Mayıs 2008- Nisan 2009 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada S.orbignyana'ya ait 1048 adet birey (538 dişi, 510 erkek) ölçülmüştür. Gonad olgunluk safhalarının mevsimsel dağılımlarına baktığımızda; safha 5'e ait yumurtlamak üzere olan olgun dişi bireylere örneklemenin yapıldığı tüm aylarda rastlanmıştır. Aylık gonad olgunluk değerlendirmelerini mevsimsel olarak incelediğimizde ise olgun erkek ve dişi bireylerin yıl içerisinde ilkbahar ve sonbahar mevsimlerinde olmak üzere iki üreme piki göstermelerinin yanında tüm yıl boyu yumurtladıkları gözlenmiştir. Dişi bireylerdeki populasyonun olgunlaşma boyunun 70 mm manto boyunda olduğu erkek bireylerdeki olgunlaşma boyunun ise 50 mm olduğu gözlenmektedir. Olgun dişilerde tespit edilmiş maksimum potansiyel yumurtlama miktarı 272-1533 adet arasında değişiklik göstermektedir. Bu sayımlardan elde edilen yumurta dağılım grafikleri ile gonadların histolojik kesitlerinden elde edilen görüntülere göre, asynchronic gonad yapısına sahip oldukları ve yumurtlama stratejisinin aralıklarla devam eden yapıda olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yumurta hücrelerinin sitolojik gelişimleri safhaların durumuna göre sınıflandırılarak oosit gelişimi belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır
