EFL Turkish University Students’ Preferences about Teacher Feedback and its Importance

AbstractWriting is accepted as challenging work, and L2 learners do not feel qualified to write in L2. Teacher feedback may be a solution; nonetheless, it may also deepen the students’ feeling of inefficacy in L2 writing. This study examined EFL Turkish university students’ attitudes toward and preferences for teacher feedback and the gender effect on the attitudes of these students. The analysis revealed that most of the participants had positive attitudes toward teacher feedback. Gender did not have an important influence on the students’ attitudes. Students’ preferences regarding the type of feedback can change as per the time of feedback

Evaluation of surgical nurses’ attitudes concerning patient safety

The present study was designed as a descriptive study to evaluate the attitudes of surgical nurses concerning patient safety. The study included 123 nurses, who have been working in the operating rooms of the hospitals in Karaman, Konya for at least one year and were voluntary to participate in the study. Data collection tools included a questionnaire to inquire demographic characteristics of surgical nurses, and “Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) -Operating Room Version” to evaluate their attitudes concerning patient safety. The mean scores obtained from SAQ sub-dimensions were between 42.12 ±16.82 and 69.07±24.44, whereas the mean score of SAQ total was 59.11 ±13.29. Statistically significant difference was determined between the mean SAQ total score and age, weekly working hours, duration of working in the operating room, resting status, receiving in service training, and training about patient safety. The present study will enhance patient safety in operating rooms by providing an improvement in communication among health workers and in team collaboration, regulating working hours, and scheduling training programs to establish an opinion about worker safety and patient safety

The reflections of the ıdeological violence of the media to terror newsMedyanın ideolojik şiddetinin terör haberlerine yansımaları

Today media as a forth power, presents the goings-on which is all over the world, by forming around it’s ideology, to crowed of people consumption. Therefore, media shows the events as it wanted and aims to make them think in the same direction. Otherwise, violence and terror is increasingly going on in the postmodern world. Media transfers this negative way to a number of ideologies. So that the masses exposed to ideological violence of media, take shape according to presented content.Accordingly, the aim of the study is to determine how media has a role in connection with spreading, interaction with one another news, discourse and ideology and the ideologic violence of media over Ankara and Paris terror attack news on Turkish and French press. Critical discourse analysis of van Dijk was implemented as a method. While one of the obtained findings is that Cumhuriyet and Libération news constitute news contents which highlights the opposing ideology way and the other one is that Yeni Akit and Le Figaro news use the news discourses on the main stream. At the end of the study, it was determined that media is not objective, presents the same news with different contents and serves to definite ideologies.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetMedya bugün tüm dünyada dördüncü güç olarak, olup bitenleri egemen güçlerin ideolojisi etrafında şekillendirerek kitlelerin tüketimine sunmaktadır. Dolayısıyla toplumlara olayları, kendi istediği gibi göstermekte ve onları aynı yönde düşündürmeyi hedeflemektedir. Diğer taraftan, postmodern dünyada şiddet ve terör artarak devam etmektedir. Medya bu olumsuz gidişatı birtakım ideolojilerle aktarmaktadır. Böylece kitleler medyanın ideolojik şiddetine maruz kalmakta, sunulan içeriklere göre şekillenmektedir.Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı; medyanın, ideolojilerin yayılması noktasında nasıl bir role sahip olduğunu, haber, söylem ve ideolojinin birbiriyle etkileşimini ve medyanın ideolojik şiddetini, Türk ve Fransız basınında, Ankara ve Paris terör saldırıları haberleri üzerinden tespit etmektir. Çalışmada yöntem olarak; van Dijk’ın eleştirel söylem analizi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular; Cumhuriyet ve Libération gazetelerinin muhalif ideolojiyi öne çıkaran yönde haber içerikleri oluştururken, Yeni Akit ve Le Figaro gazetelerinin ise ana akım yönünde haber söylemleri kullandığıdır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; medyanın tarafsız olmadığı, aynı olayı birbirinden çok farklı içeriklerle sunduğu ve belli ideolojilere hizmet ettiği tespit edilmiştir

Domestic violence impact on adolescentsAile içi şiddetin ergenler üzerindeki etkisi

Objcective: This research was performed in order to evaluate the effects on adolescents of witnessing intrafamilial violence. Methods: 1196 students attending four high schools affiliated to the Ministry of Education in the Turkish province of Karaman represented the research sample in this descriptive and cross-sectional study. A questionnaire eliciting students’ individual characteristics, together with witnessing interparental violence, acceptance of interpersonal violence and use of violence scales were employed as data collection tools. Findings: Age, type of school, parental education levels, income, the family being in receipt of economic assistance, the student working in paid employment and number of siblings were significantly correlated with adolescent witnessing of violence. A positive correlation was determined between witnessing violence and acceptance and use of violence.Results: The research shows that adolescents witnessing violence has positive effects on their attitudes toward violence. Intrafamilial violence in particular therefore needs to be reduced and families need to receive counseling on the subject in order for the levels of violence in society to be lowered. ÖzetAmaç: Buaraştırma; ergenlerin aile içi şiddete tanık olmasının şiddete yönelik tutumlarına etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türdeki araştırmanın örneklemini Karaman ilinde Milli Eğitim bakanlığına bağlı dört lisedeki 1196 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak; öğrencilerin bireysel özelliklerini belirlemeye yönelik soru formu, ebeveynler arası şiddete tanıklık ölçeği, şiddet kabullenme ve şiddet uygulama ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yaş, okul türü, baba ve annenin eğitim durumu, gelir durumu, ailenin ekonomik yardım alma durumu, öğrencinin gelir getiren bir işte çalışma durumu, kardeş sayısı değişkenleri ile ergenlerin şiddete tanıklık etme durumları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. Araştırmada şiddete tanıklık etme durumu ile şiddeti kabullenme ve şiddet uygulama arasında pozitif şekilde korelasyon olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırmada ergenlerin şiddete tanıklık etme durumunun şiddete yönelik tutumları üzerinde önemli etkilerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu nedenle toplumda şiddet oranlarının azalması için öncelikle aile içi şiddetin azaltılması, ailelere bu konuda danışmalık verilmesinin gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır.

TEKSTİL ATIK SUYUNDA HRP-CLEA İLE HİDROJEN PEROKSİDİN GİDERİLMESİ İÇİN ÖLÇEK BÜYÜTME TASARIMININ MODELLENMESİ VE SİMÜLASYONU

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant chemical used asa bleach in the textile industry and it is important to remove it from water before being released to the environment. The oxidizing substrate of peroxidase (HRP) enzyme is hydrogen peroxide. In this study, cross-linked aggregates (CLEA) of HRP enzyme were used to remove hydrogen peroxide and glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as a crosslinking agent.When the kinetic constants of the free peroxidase enzyme were calculated, saturation constant was 0,06965 mmol H2O2/L and maximum specific rate constant was found as 0.0232mmol H2O2/L.sec. Average saturation constant, Kmof HRP-CLEA was found as 0,00625 mmol H2O2/L, and average maximum specific rate constant value, Vm, was calculated as 0.0699x10-3 mmol H2O2/L.sec in wastewater without dye. More then 90 % H2O2removal was achieved in 15 minutes with HRP-CLEA. The removal of the wastewater containing H2O2(0.02M) was completed in five minutes.In the scale-up approach, the data was evaluated using the Euler solution algorithm and the H2O2removal in the efficiency factor range where the kinetic constants change was calculated. Assuming the reaction rate changes linearly, the activity variations that will occur during scaling up with the enzyme in aggregate form were determined in the range of 125% -50%, and the industrial-scale design was modelled by taking into account the activity factors. In scaling up, concentrations that will occur in the increased reaction volume have been simulated. The results obtained showed that HRP-CLEAs are more advantageous than free enzyme in terms of time and cost

An assessment of the preoperative information given to patients in the province of Karaman

The purpose of this research was to determine the status of information provision for patients in the preoperative period. Two hundred fifty patients undergoing surgery in the Karaman Public Hospital. A questionnaire prepared by the authors based on information in the literature and consisting of questions intended to determine patients’ sociodemographic characteristics and the preoperative provision of information was used as a data collection tool. Data were expressed as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Mean age of patients was 45±21.08 years. We determined that 47.2% had been given information concerning preoperative procedures and preoperative preparations, and that 7.6% had been given this information by nurses. In the light of the study findings, we conclude that physicians and nurses need to be more proactive in providing patients with preoperative information and that, considering the forgetfulness factor, such information should also be provided in written form

SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT, LOCATION AND CLUSTERING POTENTIAL OF FOREIGN INVESTMENTS – CASE OF IZMIR

Yabancı sermaye yatırımları ülkelerin ekonomik gelişiminde önemi bir rol oynarken özellikle finans gücü, teknoloji gelişimi, dış pazarlara açılma vb. konularda büyük avantaj sağlamaktadır. Bu nedenle yabancı sermayeli yatırımların varlığı ülke ekonomisinin gelişiminde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Son yıllarda ekonomik kalkınmaya ilişkin tartışmalarda kümelenme de artan bir önem kazanmıştır. Dünya çapında birçok hükümet, kümelenmeleri bölgesel kalkınmada kurumsal gelişme ve yeniliğin potansiyel itici güçleri olarak görmektedir. Kümelenme girişimleri, kaynakların ve finansmanın hedef bölgelerin ötesine yayılabilen yüksek büyüme ve gelişme potansiyeline sahip hedef alanlarda yoğunlaşmasına (yayılma ve çoğaltıcı etkiler) izin vermeleri açısından da etkili politika araçları olarak kabul edilmektedir (UNIDO, 2020). Bu nedenle kümelenme sürecinde yabancı sermayenin varlığı küme gücünü arttırırken, özellikle kümenin gelişiminde ve devamlılığının sağlanmasında önemli bir yer olan uluslararası network bağlantılarının oluşmasında da itici bir güç oluşturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın amacı da; İzmir’deki yabancı sermayeli firmaların yer seçim tercihlerini, sektörel dağılımını ve kümelenme potansiyelini ortaya koyarak, yabancı sermayeli firmaların ve potansiyel kümelerin gelişimi için öneri stratejiler geliştirmektir. Yöntem olarak da, İzmir çalışma alanında yer alan yabancı sermayeli firmaların kümelenme potansiyelini tespit etmek amacı ile Üç Yıldız Modeli, rekabetçilik avantajını ortaya koymak için ise Porter Elmas Modeli kullanılmıştır. Böylelikle bu çalışmanın; ihracat potansiyelinin gelişiminde önemli bir araç olan yabancı sermayeli yatırımların sektörel tercihleri ve kümelenme potansiyeli ortaya konarak, İzmir’in sanayi gelişim politikalarının oluşturulmasında ve desteklenmesinde bir araç olarak kullanılan küme geliştirme çalışmalarında yol gösterici olması beklenmektedir.While foreign capital investments play an important role in the economic development of countries, especially financial power, technology development, opening to foreign markets, etc. provides great advantages. For this reason, the presence of foreign capital investments has an important place in the development of the country\u27s economy. In recent years, clustering has gained increasing importance in discussions on economic development. Many governments around the world see clusters as potential drivers of institutional development and innovation in regional development. Clustering initiatives are also recognized as effective policy tools in that they allow for the concentration of resources and finance in target areas with high growth and development potential (diffuse and multiplier effects) that can spread beyond the target regions (UNIDO; 2020). For this reason, while the presence of foreign capital in the clustering process increases the power of the cluster, it also creates a driving force in the formation of international network connections, which is an important place in the development and continuity of the cluster.In this context, the aim of this study is; It is to develop suggested strategies for the development of foreign capital companies and potential clusters by revealing the location selection preferences, sectoral distribution and clustering potential of foreign capital companies in İzmir. As a method, the Three Star Model was used to determine the clustering potential of the foreign capital companies in the Izmir study area, and the Porter Diamond Model was used to reveal the competitive advantage. Thus, this study; It is expected to guide the cluster development studies, which are used as a tool in the creation and support of industrial development policies of İzmir, by revealing the sectoral preferences and clustering potential of foreign capital investments, which are an important tool in the development of export potential

Efeito da técnica de tosse durante injeção subcutânea de heparina na intensidade da dor e satisfação individual

Objective: to examine the effect of the medium intensity coughing technique during subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin injection on pain severity and individual satisfaction in general surgery patients. Method: the prospective, quasi-experimental study included 100 patients who had been prescribed a subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin injection once in 24 hours. Each patient received two injections by the same researcher, one using the standard injection technique with medium intensity coughing technique and the other only the standard injection technique. Results: there was a statistically significant difference between patients’ mean scores on pain severity and satisfaction levels after injections administered by the two techniques (p= 0.000). Also, it was found that gender affected pain severity relating to the injection but did not affect the level of individual satisfaction. Conclusion: the medium intensity coughing technique was found to reduce pain severity and increase patient satisfaction in general surgery patients receiving subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin injections. Trial registration: NCT05681338.Objetivo: examinar el efecto de la técnica de tos de mediana intensidad durante la inyección subcutánea de heparina de bajo peso molecular sobre la severidad del dolor y la satisfacción individual en pacientes de cirugía general. Método: estudio prospectivo, cuasi experimental, que incluyó a 100 pacientes a los que se les prescribió una inyección subcutánea de heparina de bajo peso molecular una vez cada 24 horas. Cada paciente recibió dos inyecciones por el mismo investigador utilizando técnica de inyección estándar con técnica de tos de intensidad media y solo técnica de inyección estándar. Resultados: hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre las puntuaciones medias de los pacientes sobre la intensidad del dolor y los niveles de satisfacción después de las inyecciones administradas por las dos técnicas (p= 0,000). Además, se encontró que el género afectó la severidad del dolor relacionado con la inyección, pero no afectó el nivel de satisfacción individual. Conclusión: se encontró que la técnica de tos de intensidad media reduce la severidad del dolor y aumenta la satisfacción del paciente de cirugía general que reciben inyecciones subcutáneas de heparina de bajo peso molecular. Registro del ensayo: NCT05681338.Objetivo: examinar o efeito da técnica de tosse de média intensidade durante injeção subcutânea de heparina de baixo peso molecular na intensidade da dor e satisfação individual em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia geral. Método: estudo prospetivo, quasi experimental que incluiu 100 pacientes que haviam recebido uma injeção subcutânea de heparina de baixo peso molecular em 24 horas. Cada paciente recebeu duas injeções pelo mesmo pesquisador usando a técnica de injeção padrão com técnica de tosse de média intensidade e apenas técnica de injeção padrão. Resultados: houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as pontuações médias dos pacientes quanto à gravidade da dor e níveis de satisfação após as injeções administradas pelas duas técnicas (p = 0,000). Além disso, verificou-se que o sexo do paciente afetou a intensidade da dor relacionada à injeção, mas não afetou o nível de satisfação individual. Conclusão: a técnica de tosse de média intensidade reduz a intensidade da dor e aumenta a satisfação de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia geral recebendo injeções subcutâneas de heparina de baixo peso molecular.
