The employability of socio-economic resources in tourism-oriented rural development: The case of Kilistra

Different periods and events have brought about changes in people's perspectives on tourism. The isolation and travel restrictions that emerged during the recent pandemic process have directed people to low-density areas where they will meet their basic needs. The interest in rural areas has increased with the fear and the need to get away from the crowd. When this transformation process, which offers opportunities to rural areas, is evaluated, it is predicted that the planning and arrangement studies to be carried out in these regions will also solve the problems of rural areas such as equipment, education and infrastructure deficiencies. In this way, it is expected that the quality of life of people living in rural areas will increase. In this study, “How should the situation of socio-economic resources be evaluated for rural development? seeking an answer to the question. In the study, points were given according to the relationship between the socio-economic characteristics of the area and the development of tourism, in line with expert opinions. With this scoring system, the adequacy status of each criterion related to the socio-economic structure has been determined. As a result, by evaluating the socio-economic resources of the Kilistra settlement, suggestions are developed to support tourism-oriented rural development

YENİDOĞAN YOĞUN BAKIM ÜNİTESİNDE ÇALIŞAN HEMŞİRE VE HEKİMLERİN GÜVENLİ TRANSPORT ALGORİTMASI VE TRANSPORT FİZYOLOJİK STABİLİTE RİSK İNDEKSİ KULLANIMININ TRANSPORT BİLGİ DÜZEYİNE ETKİSİ

Giriş-Amaç: Yenidoğan bebeklerin gereksinim duydukları bakımı alabilmeleri için farklı merkezlere sevk edilmesi gerekebilmektedir. Bebek ölüm oranlarının azaltılması için yenidoğan transportunun kalitesinin artırılması önemlidir. Bu çalışma yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde çalışan hemşire ve hekimlerin transport algoritması ve TRIPS (Transport Fizyolojik Stabilite Risk İndeksi) kullanımının bilgi düzeyine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Yarı deneysel türdeki bu çalışmada, Haziran 2022- Kasım 2023 tarihleri arasında İzmir ilinde S.B.Ü. Behçet Uz Çocuk Hastalıkları ve Cerrahisi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde görev yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde görev yapan 72 hemşire ve 28 hekim ile toplamda 100 gönüllü ile çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada, veri toplamak amacıyla araştırmacının hazırladığı ve uzman görüşleri alınmış olan 33 sorudan oluşan “Yenidoğanlarda Transport ile İlgili Bilgi Düzeyi Belirleme Formu” kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların ulaşabileceği yerlere araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan ve uzman görüşleri alınan 10 basamaktan oluşan “Güvenli Transport Algoritması” ve yenidoğanlarda kullanılan Transport Fizyolojik Stabilite Risk İndeksi (TRIPS) asılmıştır ve sözel olarak anlatılmıştır. Veriler, “Yenidoğanlarda Transport ile İlgili Bilgi Düzeyi Belirleme Formu” ile eğitimden önce ve eğitimden sonra olmak üzere iki kez toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, SPSS 25 programında yapılan ölçümlerle değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma için etik kurul izni, kurum izinleri ve İl Sağlık Müdürlüğü izni alınmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada yer alan katılımcıların %72’sinin 24-30 yaş aralığında olduğu, %79’unun kadın olduğu, %85’inin lisans mezunu olduğu, %35’inin yenidoğan yoğun bakımda çalışma süresinin 0-1 yıl olduğu, %78’inin daha önce vi transport eğitimi almadığı buna karşın %97’sinin bir yenidoğan transportuna eşlik ettiği ve bu taşıma işlemi sırasında %11’inin sorun yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların %96’sının transport eğitimi almak istediği belirlenmiştir. Hemşire ve hekimlerin yenidoğan transportuna yönelik eğitim öncesi test puan ortalamaları 20,86 ve eğitim sonrası test puan ortalamaları 28,48 olarak saptanmıştır. Ön test ve son test puanları arasında anlamlı farklılık olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: Bulgular incelendiğinde eğitim öncesi hemşire ve hekimlerin yenidoğan transportu ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Verilen transport eğitiminin hemşire ve hekimlerin bilgi düzeyinde anlamlı artış sağladığı saptanmıştır. Yenidoğan yoğun bakımda çalışan sağlık profesyonellerine belirli aralıklar ile verilecek eğitimler sonrasında bilgi düzeylerinin artacağı düşünülmektedir

Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma in the Maxilla and Mandibula

Giant cell reparative granuloma is a disease with an unknown etiology, characterized of benign locally aggressive lesions invading mandible and maxilla in the head and neck region. These lesions usually present as a mass and cause deformities at bony structures. The use of various medical and surgical procedures in the treatment of the disease with its rare occurrence makes these lesions interesting. In this case report we present a 47 years old female patient who had a painful swelling in the left lower left jaw and oral cavity since 8 months. After her complaints proceeded despite medical therapy, she has been operated and pathology report confirmed a giant cell reparative granuloma. We also discuss differential diagnosis and the achievements in treatment procedures

Assessment the effect of diabetes education on self-care behaviors and glycemic control in the Turkey Nursing Diabetes Education Evaluating Project (TURNUDEP): a multi-center study

Background: Diabetes education in Turkey is provided by diabetes nurse educators in almost all healthcare organizations. However, the education is not standardized in terms of learning content, duration, and methods. This multi-center study was performed to assess the self-care behaviors and glycemic control following education provided to the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by diabetes nurse educators. Methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study and included 1535 patients admitted to 28 public hospitals for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The education was assessed by using a Patient Identification Form and Self-care Scale. Results: The proportion of individuals who received diabetes education within the last year was 78.5%, with 46.7% of them having received it once. Of the patients, 84.8% reported that they received diabetes education individually. It was found that the proportion of individuals who received education about oral antidiabetics (78.5%) and glucose testing at home (78.5%) was higher than the proportion of individuals who received education about exercise (58.8%) and foot care (61.6%). The status of diabetes education, education intervals, and the correlation of the education method with self-care and glycemic control was evaluated. Self-care and glycemic control levels were better among the patients who received diabetes education thrice or more and in patients who received education both individually and in a group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Approximately three-quarters of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus received education by diabetes nurse educators in Turkey. Diabetes education is positively correlated with self-care and glycemic control levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Efforts for generalization and standardized education for all diabetes patients are necessary. © 2022, The Author(s)

Risk factors associated with adverse fetal outcomes in pregnancies affected by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a secondary analysis of the WAPM study on COVID-19.

Objectives To evaluate the strength of association between maternal and pregnancy characteristics and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with laboratory confirmed COVID-19. Methods Secondary analysis of a multinational, cohort study on all consecutive pregnant women with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from February 1, 2020 to April 30, 2020 from 73 centers from 22 different countries. A confirmed case of COVID-19 was defined as a positive result on real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay of nasal and pharyngeal swab specimens. The primary outcome was a composite adverse fetal outcome, defined as the presence of either abortion (pregnancy loss before 22 weeks of gestations), stillbirth (intrauterine fetal death after 22 weeks of gestation), neonatal death (death of a live-born infant within the first 28 days of life), and perinatal death (either stillbirth or neonatal death). Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate parameters independently associated with the primary outcome. Logistic regression was reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Mean gestational age at diagnosis was 30.6+/-9.5 weeks, with 8.0% of women being diagnosed in the first, 22.2% in the second and 69.8% in the third trimester of pregnancy. There were six miscarriage (2.3%), six intrauterine device (IUD) (2.3) and 5 (2.0%) neonatal deaths, with an overall rate of perinatal death of 4.2% (11/265), thus resulting into 17 cases experiencing and 226 not experiencing composite adverse fetal outcome. Neither stillbirths nor neonatal deaths had congenital anomalies found at antenatal or postnatal evaluation. Furthermore, none of the cases experiencing IUD had signs of impending demise at arterial or venous Doppler. Neonatal deaths were all considered as prematurity-related adverse events. Of the 250 live-born neonates, one (0.4%) was found positive at RT-PCR pharyngeal swabs performed after delivery. The mother was tested positive during the third trimester of pregnancy. The newborn was asymptomatic and had negative RT-PCR test after 14 days of life. At logistic regression analysis, gestational age at diagnosis (OR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.8-0.9 per week increase; pPeer reviewe

The genetic history of the Southern Arc: a bridge between West Asia and Europe

By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic period and Bronze Age (about 5000 to 1000 BCE), when extensive gene flow entangled it with the Eurasian steppe. Two streams of migration transmitted Caucasus and Anatolian/Levantine ancestry northward, and the Yamnaya pastoralists, formed on the steppe, then spread southward into the Balkans and across the Caucasus into Armenia, where they left numerous patrilineal descendants. Anatolia was transformed by intra–West Asian gene flow, with negligible impact of the later Yamnaya migrations. This contrasts with all other regions where Indo-European languages were spoken, suggesting that the homeland of the Indo-Anatolian language family was in West Asia, with only secondary dispersals of non-Anatolian Indo-Europeans from the steppe

Din değiştirme ve radikalleşme ilişkisi : Alman mühtediler üzerine nitel bir araştırma

Her ne kadar radikal mühtedilerle ilgili kesin rakamlara ulaşılamasa da özellikle 9/11'den sonra radikalleşme, mühtedilerde sık rastlanan bir fenomen haline gelmiştir. Din değiştirme ve radikalleşme ilişkisini inceleyen bu çalışmada, din değiştirme tipleri ve radikalleşme ilişkisi, mühtedilerde din değiştirmenin hangi sıklıkta ve hangi süreçlerde meydana geldiği, normal bir din değiştirme sürecinde radikalleşmeye iten sebepler üzerinde durulmaktadır. Araştırma 2018 Mart-Eylül tarihleri arasında Almanya’nın farklı şehirlerinde yürütülmüş olup araştırma kapsamında 12 erkek ve 10 kadın olmak üzere toplamda 22 mühtediyle mülakat yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma din değiştirme ve radikalleşme ilişkisine dair Türkçe literatürde giriş niteliğinde bir çalışma olup genel bir kavrayış sunmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında görüşülen mühtedilerde radikalleşme eğilimi belirli düzeylerle sınırlı kalmıştır ve bu araştırmanın katılımcılarının radikal olarak değerlendirilemeyeceği ortaya çıkmıştır.--------------------It is difficult to determine the exact number of radical converts, but conversion to Islam and radicalization in Muslim converts have become a more visible phenomenon after the 9/11. The major objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between religious conversion and radicalization, how often radicalization emerges in converts to Islam, what processes drive to it and why radicalization arises in an ordinary conversion process. Based on semi-structured interviews with twenty-two converts to Islam in Germany, the present study illustrates a general understanding of conversion to Islam and its' relationship to radicalization as an introductive for the psychology of religion literature. It also offers a set of starting points to move forward with some remarkable findings and some precursor approaches for future studies. It concludes that participants of the present study have had limited radicalization tendency
