Posrednička uloga povjerenja u rukovoditelja u učinku percepcije rodne ravnopravnosti na prijavu seksualnog uznemiravanja na radnome mjestu

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the mediating role of trust in the manager in the effect of the perception of gender equality on sexual harassment reporting in the workplace. This research is a relational survey model based on the quantitative research method. It has been determined that participants\u27 perceptions of gender equality had a significant and positive effect on sexual harassment reporting and trust in managers. Also, a positive effect of trust in the manager on sexual harassment reporting was determined. Trust in the manager plays a mediating role in the effect of perception of gender equality on sexual harassment reporting in the workplace, implying that sexual harassment reporting in the workplace has cultural roots, such as the perception of gender equality, and trust in the manager predicts this perception.Svrha ovog istraživanja je prije svega utvrditi posredničku ulogu povjerenja u rukovoditelja u učinku percepcije rodne ravnopravnosti na prijavu seksualnog uznemiravanja na radnome mjestu. Riječ je o modelu relacijskog istraživanja koje se temelji na kvantitativnoj istraživačkoj metodi. Utvrđeno je da su percepcije sudionika o ravnopravnosti spolova imale značajan pozitivan učinak na prijavu seksualnog uznemiravanja i povjerenje u rukovoditelja. Osim toga, utvrđen je pozitivan učinak povjerenja u rukovoditelja na prijavu seksualnog uznemiravanja. Povjerenje u rukovoditelja ima posredničku ulogu u učinku percepcije rodne ravnopravnosti na prijavu seksualnog uznemiravanja na radnome mjestu. Ovaj rezultat pokazuje da prijava seksualnog uznemiravanja na radnome mjestu ima kulturološke korijene, kao što je percepcija rodne ravnopravnosti, a povjerenje u rukovoditelja predviđa tu percepciju

MITOCHONDRIAL DNA COPY NUMBER IS ASSOCIATED WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in children. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain its etiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) is suggested to be one of the causes of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between MD and ADHD by investigating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels from peripheral blood leukocytes, one of the best biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction. Subjects and methods: This study included 56 children aged 6-16 years who were diagnosed with ADHD for the first time and 56 age- and sex matched children without ADHD. Real-time PCR was performed to determine the relative mtDNA copy number in each study participant. Results: The mean mtDNA copy number of the case group was 57.623±24.827 and that of the control group was 44.204±18.926 (p=0.002). The mtDNA copy number of the case group was higher than that of the control group. Results of ROC curve analysis provided a mtDNA cutoff value of 45. Conclusion: Significantly higher mtDNA copy number in ADHD group may suggest mitochondrial dysfunction in the etiopathogenesis of ADHD

Primary Hydatid Cyst in the Axillary Region: A Case Report

Axillary region is one of the areas where primary hydatid cyst is rare. In this study, we present a case of isolated axillary hydatid cyst in a 40 year-old female patient having applied to our polyclinic with swelling and pain on right axillary. During the breast examination of the patient on right axillary, well-circumscribed semi-mobile mass lesion was detected. On mammary ultrasonography, both breasts were natural. There was necrotic lymphadenopathy on right axillary that was roughly 10x10 cm sized, and locally included cystic patency. Axillary LAP excision was planned for histopathologic diagnosis. Patient was taken to the operation. After it was understood that cyst was hydatic, it was excised with germanium membrane by encircling it with savlon compresses. In order to differentiate primary secondary on post-operative patient, the patient was taken to thoracic and abdomen tomography. No cystic lesions were detected on tomography. Having no problems on follow-ups, the patient was discharged on 3 post-op days with recommendations, and with starting albendazole 10 mg/kg

THE EVALUATION OF ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS IN URTICARIA

Amaç: Urtikarya sık görülen, tanısı kolay konulabilen ancak oldukça değişken etyolojik faktörlerin saptanmasının zor olduğu bir dermatozdur. Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde urtikarya tanısıyla izlenmiş olan hastalarda saptanan etyolojik faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada 2000-2007 yılları arasında Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dermatoloji Kliniği'nde yatarak tedavi gören urtikarya tanısı almış 127 olguda saptanan etyolojik etmenler araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Ayrıntılı anamnez ve etyolojiye yönelik yapılan tetkikler sonucunda özellikle gıdalar, ilaçlar ve infeksiyonlar olmak üzere 92 (%72,4) hastada en az 1 veya daha fazla olası tetikleyici etken saptanırken, 35 (%27,6) hastada tetikleyici etken saptanamamıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular ışığında; urtikaryalı olguların değerlendirilmesinde infeksiyonlar, ilaçlar ve gıdalar başta olmak üzere olası tetikleyici faktörlerin alınacak ayrıntılı anamnezde yer almasının önemi vurgulanmıştır. Objective: Urticaria is a common skin disease which is easily diagnosed. In contrast to the ease of its diagnosis, the underlying etiologic factors are often difficult to determine. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the etiologic factors in patients with urticaria who were followed-up by our clinic. Material and method: In this retrospective study; 127 in-patients with urticaria who were followed up in Dokuz Eylül University Medical School Department of Dermatology between the years 2000-2007 were re-evaluated to outline the established etiologic factors. Results: Detailed anamnesis and laboratory investigations revealed at least one etiological factor in 92 (72.4%) patients, especially foods, drugs and infections. On the other hand 35 (27.6%) patients had no associating triggering factors. Conclusion: In this study, the importance of a detailed history regarding triggering factors such as infections, drugs and foods in the evaluation of patients with urticaria was emphasized

Evaluation of intraocular pressure and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with Helicobacter pylori

Objectives: High prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in the glaucoma patients was shown in recent studies. In our prospective study we aimed to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) and the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) in patients with HP positive and negative. Methods: In 91 patients with gastritis HP was investigated by urea breath test (UBT) and biopsy sample culture Following the full ophthalmologic examination the patients’ IOP was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry and RNFLT was measured by spectral optic coherence tomography. The patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were compared with the χ² test for categorical variables and with the Mann Whitney U test for continuous variables. Results: Of the 90 patients who meet the including criteria, HP was detected in 74 patients (27 male, 47 female) positive, and in 16 patients (7 male, 9 female) negative. Median (minimum-maximum) age values were 46 (18-79) in HP positive group and 51 (18-67) in HP negative group. One hundred forty seven eyes in 74 HP positive patients and 31 eyes in 16 HP negative patients included in the study. Median IOP values were determined 14 (7-21) mmHg in HP positive group and 14 (8-18) mmHg in HP negative group. The measurements of RNFLT in superior, temporal, inferior and nasal quadrants found to be respectively 122(98-165), 68(50-101), 135(93-188), 79(51-120) micron in HP positive group and 120(94-161), 67(43-104), 129(94-166), 76(50-97) micron in HP negative group. No statistically significant difference was found when compared IOP and RNFLT measurements between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study found that the IOP and RNFLT measurements of HP positive group was not show statistically significant difference compared with HP negative group. In a large case series, randomized, case-controlled, histologic and serologic studies should be done to show the relationship between HP and glaucoma

Extended Multilingual Protest News Detection -- Shared Task 1, CASE 2021 and 2022

We report results of the CASE 2022 Shared Task 1 on Multilingual Protest Event Detection. This task is a continuation of CASE 2021 that consists of four subtasks that are i) document classification, ii) sentence classification, iii) event sentence coreference identification, and iv) event extraction. The CASE 2022 extension consists of expanding the test data with more data in previously available languages, namely, English, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish, and adding new test data in Mandarin, Turkish, and Urdu for Sub-task 1, document classification. The training data from CASE 2021 in English, Portuguese and Spanish were utilized. Therefore, predicting document labels in Hindi, Mandarin, Turkish, and Urdu occurs in a zero-shot setting. The CASE 2022 workshop accepts reports on systems developed for predicting test data of CASE 2021 as well. We observe that the best systems submitted by CASE 2022 participants achieve between 79.71 and 84.06 F1-macro for new languages in a zero-shot setting. The winning approaches are mainly ensembling models and merging data in multiple languages. The best two submissions on CASE 2021 data outperform submissions from last year for Subtask 1 and Subtask 2 in all languages. Only the following scenarios were not outperformed by new submissions on CASE 2021: Subtask 3 Portuguese \& Subtask 4 English.Comment: To appear in CASE 2022 @ EMNLP 202

Investigation of theileria equi, babesia caballi, neospora spp. and toxoplasma gondii by serological methods in horse breed for touristic purpose in Nevşehir province

Protozoal hastalıklar atlarda ölümlere ve ciddi ekonomik kayıplara neden olur. Bazılarının zoonotik potansiyelleri ise halk sağlığı açısından önem arz eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı Nevşehir ilinde turistik amaçlarla yetiştirilen atlarda doku (Neospora spp. ve Toxoplasma gondii) ve kan (Theileria equi ve Babesia caballi) protozoonlarının yaygınlığını belirlemektir. Bu amaçla yaşları 3-24 arasındaki 105 dişi attan kan alınarak serumları çıkarılmıştır. Elde edilen serumlar Neospora spp., T.equi ve B.caballi antikorlarına karşı c-ELISA ve T.gondii antikorlarına karşı da Sabin-Feldman Dye testleri ile incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda 105 atın ikisinde (%1,90) anti-Neospora spp., dokuzunda (%8.57) anti-T.gondii, ikisinde (%1,90) anti-B.caballi ve 77 (%73,33)’sinde de anti-T.equi antikorları tespit edilmiştir. Atlardan birinde (%0,95) T.equi, B.caballi ve T.gondii, birinde (%0,95) T.equi ve B.caballi, ikisinde (%1,90) Neospora spp. ve T.equi ve altısında (%5,71) ise T.gondii ve T.equi’nin neden olduğu miks enfeksiyonlar belirlenmiştir. Ki-kare testi ile ≤ 7 ve >7 yaş grupları ile Neospora spp., T.gondii ve B.caballi seroprevalansları arasında istatistiksel açıdan önemli bir fark bulunmazken, 7 yaş üzerindeki atlarda yüksek T.equi seroprevalansının önemli olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışma ile İç Anadolu bölgesinde Nevşehir ilinde atlarda T.equi’ye maruziyet oranının oldukça yüksek olduğu, prevalansın yaşla birlikte arttığı, ayrıca protozoon kaynaklı miks enfeksiyonların görülebileceği ve bunun tedavide göz ardı edilmemesi gereken bir durum olduğu ortaya konmuştur.Protozoan diseases cause deaths in horses and serious economic losses. Some of them have zoonotic potential and are important for public health. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of tissue (Neospora spp. and Toxoplasma gondii) and blood (Theileria equi and Babesia caballi) protozoa of horses, raised for touristic purposes, in the Nevşehir provice Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. For this aim, a total of 105 blood samples were collected from female horses from various breeds between the ages of 3-24 in Nevşehir province. Sera samples were tested against anti-Neospora spp., T.equi and B.caballi antibodies with c-ELISA method, while Sabin Feldman Dye Test was used for the detection of anti-T.gondii antibodies. At the end of the serologic examination, it was determined that two of 105 (1.90%) horses had anti-Neospora spp.; nine (8.57%) had anti-T.gondii; two (1.90%) had anti-B.caballi and 77 (73.33%) had anti-T.equi antibodies. Mixed infections were also detected in one horse (0.95%) caused by T.equi, B.caballi and T.gondii, one (0.95%) by T.equi and B.caballi, two (1.90%) by Neospora spp. and T.equi and in six horses (5.71%) by T.gondii and T.equi. There was no statistically significant difference between the age groups and Neospora spp., T. gondii and B.caballi seropositivity, while high T.equi seroprevalence was found to be significant in horses over 7 years old with the chi-square test. With this study, it was set forth that the exposure rate to T.equi in horses in Nevşehir province in the Central Anatolia region is quite high; also the prevalence increases with age, and protozoal mixed infections are likely to occur, which should not be ignored in treatment
