Corbynizmin Yükselişi ve Çöküşü

In an era when the traditional centre-left parties have constantly lost ground to rising right-wing populist movements, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party was increasingly portrayed as a left-wing alternative to both pro-austerity incumbent parties that rule out redistributive policies and right-wing populism fuelled by the grievances of the masses targeting the traditional political elites. Corbyn managed to mobilize a vast section of the society by becoming Europe’s biggest left-wing party in terms of membership and increased its votes in the 2017 election, especially by gaining youth support. Nevertheless, the 2019 election constituted an immense fall. Regarding his political discourse both during the electoral campaigns and the serious challenges he faced, Corbyn could be identified as a left-wing populist. To be more specific, Corbyn is a democratic socialist who usually resorted to left-wing populist means within a social democratic party, and failed in his efforts to transform both the British mainstream politics and the Labour in the end.Geleneksel merkez sol partilerin yükselen sağ popülist hareketlere karşı sürekli zemin kaybettiği bir tarihsel evrede, Jeremy Corbyn'in İşçi Partisi, hem yeniden dağıtım politikalarını dışlayan kemer sıkma yanlısı iktidar partilerine, hem de kitlelerin siyasi elitlere yönelik memnuniyetsizliğinden güç alan sağ popülizme karşı bir sol alternatif olarak tasvir edildi. Britanya İşçi Partisi üye sayısı bakımından Avrupa'nın en büyük sol partisi haline gelerek toplumun geniş bir kesimini harekete geçirmeyi başardı ve 2017 seçimlerinde özellikle gençlerin desteğini alarak oylarını arttırdı. Buna karşılık 2019 seçimleri muazzam bir düşüşe sahne oldu. Corbyn, seçim kampanyaları sırasındaki siyasi söylemi ve karşılaştığı zorluklara verdiği yanıtlar bakımından bir sol popülist olarak tanımlanabilir. Daha açık ifade etmek gerekirse, Corbyn, sosyal demokrat bir parti içinde genellikle sol popülist araçlara başvuran ve sonunda hem İngiliz ana akım siyasetini hem de İşçi Partisi'ni dönüştürme çabalarında başarısız olmuş bir demokratik sosyalisttir

Do inflation targeting regimes reduce inflation uncertainty? : evidence from five industrilized and five emerging countries

Cataloged from PDF version of article.In this thesis, using a time-varying parameter model with GARCH specification, it was investigated whether there is a structural break in expected inflation and two types of inflation uncertainties –structural and impulse uncertainty- for five industrialized and five emerging countries after the implementation of inflation targeting. Many industrialized and emerging countries attempted to stabilize their price levels with the help of a monetary discipline satisfied by the features of inflation targeting. These regimes are thought to lower the uncertainties regarding inflation dynamics. This methodology allows decomposing two types of uncertainties and it was claimed that successful implementation of inflation targeting removes these uncertainties. Two types of tests were employed to detect this claim: A simple non-parametric test which examine whether the changes in the mean and the variance of expected inflation along with two types of inflation uncertainty are statistically significant; and a parametric test whether there has been a shift in mean or a shift in the trend for expected inflation and two types of uncertainties. Both non-parametric and parametric test results indicate that the inflation targeting regimes are particularly successful in reducing expected inflation while there is less evidence that implementation of inflation targeting reduce inflation uncertainty.Ertürk, BurakM.S

Injuries related to animal sacrifice during the Feast of Sacrifice in Turkey

BACKGROUND: The Feast of Sacrifice is a significant annual religious festival in Muslim countries. In these festivals, thousands of animals are usually sacrificed by inexperienced individuals. Thus, many injuries occur during sacrificing of animals. OBJECTIVES: Describe injuries related to animal sacrifice or meat processing. DESIGN: Cross-sectional descriptive study. SETTING: Three hospitals in different cities of Turkey. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Severity and type of injuries that occur during animal sacrifice or meat processing after the sacrifice and hospital costs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Identification and classification of sacrifice related injuries. SAMPLE SIZE: 301 injured individuals. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 42.5 (14.8) years and 83.1% of the subjects were male. Most (90.0%) injuries were penetrating injuries and 10.0% were blunt traumas. Upper and lower extremity injuries were identified in 77.4% and 17.9% of cases, respectively. Almost half of the injuries were on the left hand (49.8%). Almost all (96.6%) cases were treated and discharged from emergency services. Median hospital cost per patient was 103.14 Turkish Liras (35.95-852.66 Turkish Liras) (19.53 USD [6.80-161.48 USD]). CONCLUSIONS: Even though injuries related to animal sacrifice are usually caused by minor sharp objects, they can be severe and life threatening on rare occasions. To minimize the injuries that may occur during this period, public education and more convenient sacrifice centers may be helpful. LIMITATIONS: Small sample, single country, and short duration of the study. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None. © 2020, Annals of Saudi Medicine, Saudi Arabia.

Evaluation of the awareness of the physicians on negligence and abuse of the elderly patients admitted to emergency department

Introduction: With the increase in the population of the elderly, the negligence and abuse of the elderly (NAE) is increasing at a great pace. Although the rates of NAE in the elderly admitted to emergency depart- ment (ED) is more than the estimated rates, the diagnosis and reporting of such cases are extremely rare. The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the NAE status in the elderly admitted to ED, the awareness in ED physicians, the attitudes towards these cases and the knowledge levels in this field.  Methods: An electronic questionnaire form that was used as the data collection tool consisted of 19 ques- tions and 2 sections. To call for participation, the questionnaires used in the study were shared with the ED physicians in an online manner between December 2017 and April 2018. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 23.0 Windows computer program with definitive statistics.  Results: A total of 69.4% of the participants faced NAE and 30% did not report this; 79.8% of the partic- ipants stated that they had received training in this field and 9% stated that there was a screening test for the abuse of the elderly. A statistically significant difference was determined between those who received course training in this field and those who received training during medicine faculty education and specialist training.  Conclusions: In this study, it was observed that the NAE rates were more than the estimated rates in the elderly admitted to ED. It was understood that ED physicians did not have adequate knowledge in this field. A new curriculum is needed for the training and education in this field. 

Production of Bovine Colostrum for Human Consumption to Improve Health

Colostrum contains all essential nutrients for the neonate during the first days of life, with impacts that continue far beyond these first days. Bovine colostrum has been used for human consumption due to the high concentrations of bioactive proteins, vitamins, minerals, growth factors, as well as free and conjugated oligosaccharides. Processes involved in the preparation of bovine colostrum for human consumption play a pivotal role in preserving and maintaining the activity of the bioactive molecules. As bovine colostrum is a multifunctional food that offers a myriad of benefits for human health, assessing the main processes used in preparing it with both advantages and disadvantages is a crucial point to discuss. We discuss major processes effects for colostrum production on the nutritional value, some advanced technologies to preserve processed bovine colostrum and the endproduct forms consumed by humans whether as dairy products or dietary supplements

Investıgatıon Of The Effects Of The Exercıses Focused On Gluteus Medıus Muscle On Dısabılıty, Functıonal Status And Mobılıty In Patıents Wıth Acute Stroke

Çalışmanın amacı akut dönem inmeli hastalarda gluteus medius kasına odaklanan egzersizlerin özür, fonksiyonel durum ve mobilite üzerine etkilerinin incelenmesiydi. Uzman nörolog tarafından tanı almış ve tedavi edilmek üzere yatışı yapılmış olan hastalar rastgele olarak çalışma ve kontrol gruplarına ayrıldı ve fizyoterapi programına alındı. Hastalar fizyoterapi programı öncesinde ve sonrasında Modifiye Rankin Ölçeği (MRÖ), Ulusal Sağlık Enstitüsü İnme Ölçeği (USEİÖ), Akut İnme Hastaları için Geliştirilmiş Mobilite Ölçeği (AİHGMÖ), İnme Rehabilitasyonu Hareket Değerlendirme Ölçeği (İRHDÖ) ve Rivermead Mobilite İndeksi (RMİ) testleri ile değerlendirildi. Kontrol grubuna Nöro-gelişimsel Tedavi (NGT) Bobath egzersizlerinden alt ekstremite ve gövdeye yönelik olan egzersizler uygulandı. Çalışma grubuna ise güncel Bobath yaklaşımlarından gluteus medius kasına odaklanan egzersizler seçilerek uygulandı. Her iki grupta da MRÖ, USEİÖ, AİHGMÖ, İRHDÖ ve RMİ anlamlı olarak gelişti (p<0,005). Çalışma grubunda MRÖ ve İRHDÖ ile ilgili kazanımların kontrol grubuna göre daha fazla olduğu saptandı (p<0,03). Akut inme hastalarında Bobath yaklaşımı ile uygulanan egzersizler gibi gluteus medius kasına odaklanan egzersizler ile de inmeye bağlı bulguların varlığı ve şiddeti, özür, mobilite ve fonksiyonel durum üzerinde benzer gelişmeler sağlanabilmektedir. Dahası gluteus medius kasına odaklanan egzersizlerin özür ve fonksiyonel durumda ek kazanımlar elde edilmesine de katkıda bulunduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Gluteus medius kasına odaklanan egzersizlere akut dönem inme rehabilitasyon programlarında yer verilmesi fonksiyonel ambulasyonun daha hızlı geri kazanılması ve fonksiyonel durumun düzetilmesi gibi olumlu etkiler elde edilmesinde katkısı olabileceği düşünüldü.The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of exercises focused on the gluteus medius muscle in acute stroke patients on disability, functional status and mobility. In Neurology Service, stroke patients diagnosed by a neurologist, assigned study and control groups randomly and being followed with a physiotherapy program. Patients were assessed before and after physiotherapy program by the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Mobility Scale for Acute Stroke Patients (MSAS), The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Scale (STREAM) and the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI). In control group acute phase exercises of Neuro- Developmental Treatment (NDT) Bobath method were applied. In study group, the exercises focused on gluteus medius muscle of the current Bobath method were applied. In both groups, NIHSS, MRS, MSAS, STREAM and RMI were improved significantly (p<0,005). It was detected that the improvements in MRS and STREAM were more in study group than control group (p<0,03). In acute stroke patients, the exercises focused on gluteus medius muscle may provide similar improvements on stroke symptoms presence and severity, disability, mobility and functional status as the exercises with NDT Bobath method. Additionally it was observed that the exercises focused on gluteus medius muscle may contributed to the acquisition of additional benefits on disability and functional status. It was thought that including the exercises focused on gluteus medius muscle to the acute term stroke rehabilitation programs may have benefits to achieve these positive effects related to functional ambulation fast regaining and functional statue amelioration

Tasarım değişkenlerinin bir seyir füzesi kanadının aeroelastik performansı üzerindeki etkileri.

The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work since the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally safe. Furthermore, the wing needs to satisfy other considerations such as propulsion, weight, flight performance, sizing for launch platform integration and other measures of merit. In order to meet these design requirements and achieve a successful design, several parameters of the wing need to be investigated at various flight conditions. In this thesis, aeroelastic characteristics of different wing geometries are investigated at various altitudes and speeds. The design of experiments is constructed by changing several variables of the wing systematically to have a better understanding of the effects of design parameters on the aeroelastic characteristics of the wings. Flutter speeds are calculated to examine the aeroelastic characteristics of the wings and the aeroelastic analyses for the determination of the flutter speed are conducted by using ZAERO package program.Thesis (M.S.) -- Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences.
