Kovid-19 salgını sürecinde ergenlerin psikolojik ihtiyaçları ve algılanan aile atmosferi

The aim of this study is to examine the Adolescent’s psychological needs and perceived family atmosphere during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This research was designed in the correlational survey model, which is one of the general survey model designs. 684 (F = 389; M = 295) adolescents were reached. Personal information such as age, gender, the place they live, parents’ education level was obtained and psychological needs and moods data were collected using the “Psychological Needs and Moods Scale in Restricted Life” and data on perception of the adolescents’ family environment were collected using the “Perceived Family Atmosphere Scale for Adolescents”. According to the results of the study, when the psychological needs of adolescents and their anger-anger reactions are examined, according to variables such as gender, age, parental education level, family atmosphere, adolescents' anger-anger reactions, safety needs and needs to establish relationships differ according to gender, age and education level of parents’ (p > .05). When psychological needs and anger-anger response - perceived family atmosphere are examined, it is seen that the most important determinant of the perceived family environment is the need for relationship.Bu araştırmanın amacı Kovid-19 salgını döneminde ergenlerin psikolojik ihtiyaçlarının neler olabileceğini ve algılanan aile atmosferini araştırmaktır.

Cognitive schemas and attachment

People show similar reactions to similar stimulants but they may show different reactions as well. We are all very similar and yet very different. As expressed in many psychological theories, each person is "unique and different". Everyone feels pain when they lose the person they love. However, everyone experiences their own pain in different ways. There are many psychological theories that explain the reason for different behavioral and emotional responses to similar stimulants. While behavioral theory explains how people behave focusing on learning experiences, the psychoanalytic theory explains the behavioral differences with the individual's instincts and drives. On the other hand, cognitive psychologists accept that although the stimulants are similar, the perception of the individuals differs. Humanistic psychologists accept that human nature as positive but the environmental circumstances such as education, parental issues may lead negative behaviors. It is possible to expand these views on this topic. Based on the theory to understand the behaviour, by putting some limitations in order to study and to observe the behaviour easily, complex approaches work on some concepts such as love, anger, angression etc. To study and understand the close relationships is one of the subjects that are still being tried to be understood due to its contributions to the theoretical field and the field of practice. One of the most important works in the field to understanding interpersonal close relationships is Bowlby's "Attachment Theory". On the other hand, the views of Young (1990), who explained adaptation or maladaptive behaviors with "Early Schemas" in the last two decades, brought up the question of whether attachment or schemas are effective in close relationships. The review discussion in this topic is given below

Determination of the fibrinogenolytic activity of Montivipera raddei (Raddeʼs mountain viper) venom

Snake venom fibrinogenolytic enzymes have diagnostic and therapeutic value and are important for snakebite pathology. In the present study, the fibrinogenolytic activity of Montivipera raddei venom was investigated. Crude venom was incubated with human fibrinogen for different times at 37°C. An inhibition study was carried out using different protease inhibitors. The fibrinogenolytic activity was assessed by SDS-PAGE and fibrinogen zymography. An HPLC-based method was used to obtain confirmatory data. Montivipera raddei venom predominantly cleaved the Aα chain of fibrinogen in a time-dependent manner. A very slight decrease in band intensity of the Bβ chain was observable after a longer incubation time. Cleavage of fibrinogen was confirmed by HPLC. Zymography revealed that the venom contained 50 and 75 kDa fibrinogenolytic enzymes. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 1,10-phenanthroline inhibited the overall fibrinogenolytic activity, while phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and aprotinin only inhibited the degradation of the Bβ chain. These results indicated that metalloproteinases were major fibrinogenolytic enzymes in the venom. An inhibitor study suggested the presence of serine proteinases that broke down the Bβ chain. With this study, the fibrinogenolytic activity of M. raddei venom was shown for the first time. The results will be useful for further isolation and characterization studies.The study was supported by the Research Fund of Nevşehir Haci Bektaş Veli University (Project Number: ABAP20F28)

Investigation of resilience in terms of gender: A metaanalysis study

The present study aims to examine resilience in terms of gender via the meta-analysis method. Postgraduate theses have been written on resilience in Turkey in 2019 were examined for this purpose. Higher Education Council National Thesis Center was scanned on the internet to reach theses. Fifty seven postgraduate theses that examined resilience by gender and which contain the necessary statistical information were reached and 61 effect sizes were calculated from these theses. The sample of this meta-analysis study included a total of 26193 participants, 14593 women (55.71%) - 11600 men (44.28%). The effect size of endurance by gender was determined by Cohen’s d analysis (Standardized Means Difference). Funnel Plot, Duval-Tweedie's Trim-Fill Method and Egger's regression test showed no publication bias in meta-analysis. The effect sizes show a heterogeneous distribution in this meta-analysis (Q = 220.37, p = 0.000, I² = 72.773). The findings of the research showed a negligible and statistically insignificant effect size in favor of women according to the random-effects model (d = 0.023, [-0.028; 0.075], p > .05). Based on these findings, it can be said that the resilience levels of women and men are equal. Research results were discussed within the framework of the literature. It is presented the limitation of study and some suggestions for future research

The Effect of Ocular Demodex Colonization on Schirmer test and OSDI Scores in Newly Diagnosed Dry Eye Patients

Objective: To determine whether ocularDemodexcolonization results in differences in Schirmer test scores and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire values in individuals with dry eye disease (DED) diagnosed for the first time. Method: Eighty-eight adults aged 40 to 68 years who were admitted to Ophthalmology outpatient clinic for routine ophthalmological examination or presbyopia examination and diagnosed with DED for the first time and who do not have any chronic disease were included in the study. All the patients were asked to complete the OSDI, which is widely used for assessing dry eye symptom severity and vision-related functioning. The Schirmer test was performed, and then two eyelashes were taken from the inferior eyelids of each eyes. After saline (0.09% NaCl) was added to the sample, it was quickly taken to the microbiology laboratory, which is located next to the Ophthalmology policlinic. The sample was evaluated by a parasitologist experienced inDemodex. Results: One hundred sixty-eight eyes of 84 patients were included in the study. Average Schirmer test score was 2.1 +/- 0.5, the OSDI questionnaire score was 61.82 +/- 10.95, and the mean age was 55.36 +/- 8.74 years in patients who hadDemodexcolonization (n=30), whereas the average Schirmer test score was 6.6 +/- 0.9 score, OSDI questionnaire score was 40.96 +/- 12.73, and the mean age was 49.12 +/- 6.87 years in patients withoutDemodexcolonization (n=58). It has been observed that dry eye patients withDemodexcolonization had a higher mean age (P: 0.001), higher mean OSDI score (P: 0.001), and lower average Schirmer test score (P: 0.001) compared with those withoutDemodex. The significant relationship between lower Schirmer test score and higher OSDI rates and occurrence ofDemodexinfestation continued after adjusting for mean age values (P=0.012;P=0.035). Conclusion: It was determined that the presence of ocularDemodexcolonization was associated with the average Schirmer test scores, OSDI scores, and age values in patients with newly diagnosed DED. Demodex quantity was found increased in older aged patients, but the significant relationship between lower Schirmer test score and higher OSDI rates andDemodexinfestation persisted even after controlling the mean age values. Supporting these findings with large-numbered and randomized-controlled studies will help in clarifying the association of the Demodex infestation with etiopathogenesis of dry eye

Examination of the relationship between fears of compassion and anxiety in adults

The main purpose of this research is to examine whether adults' trait anxiety, state anxiety, and gender together predict the fears of compassion (fear of compassion for others, fear of compassion from others, and fear of self-compassion). Besides, in this study, it was aimed to examine whether fears of compassion differ significantly according to trait anxiety levels (low, medium and high). The study group consisted of 437 (241 female and 196 male) adults. Data were collected using the State-Trait Anxiety Scale, the Fears of Compassion Scale, and the Personal Information Form. Data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Research findings of this study shows that adults' trait anxiety, state anxiety, and gender together predicts the 18% of the total variance in fear of compassion to others, 15% of total variance in fear of compassion from others, and 16% of total variance in fear of self-compassion. In addition, this study shows that while adults' anxiety levels (high, medium, and low) decrease, their fears of compassion decreases. The findings are discussed based on the relevant literature. The limitations of the research and suggestions for future theoretical and practical research are presented

Opinions of Secondary School Students on the Use of Mobile Augmented Reality Technology in Science Teaching

Mobile augmented reality (MAR) draws attention in terms of providing a flexible learning process and environment. It is thought that learning environments can be more effective using MAR technology. The research aimed to determine the secondary school students' views on the use of MAR technology in science teaching. The research was conducted with 143 students studying in the sixth grade at two different secondary schools in Turkey. In the research, convergent parallel patterns from mixed-method patterns were used. For eight weeks, the research was carried out to cover the systems unit in our body, situated in the 6th-grade science course curriculum. During the process, the Anatomy 4D application was used in the experimental group during the procedure, and the science course curriculum was used in the control group.  In this paper, a part of the mixed research, the qualitative data collected from the experimental group's semi-structured interview form and diaries were analyzed. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data. As a result of the research, although the students do not have a clear idea about AR and MAR technologies at the beginning of the application, it is observed that their thoughts change over time, and MAR applications are effective on the success of the course

Implementing The Biopsychosocial Approach Of The ICF-CY To Predict Secondary Conditions And Quality Of Life In Individuals With Spina Bifida

Spina Bifida (SB) is a complex neurogenetic disorder, diagnosed before or at birth that is caused by the defective closure of the backbone and the spinal cord (Antolovich &Wray, 2008). The condition is associated with many physical, or mental health conditions at varying severity levels. Additional health conditions that occur as a result of having a primary disabling condition are considered as secondary conditions. The present study examined the nature of secondary conditions; the individual characteristics associated with their prediction and quality of life (QoL) and used ICF –CY (WHO, 2007) as a frame of reference to discuss their functioning. The findings suggested several significant small and medium strength relations among variables. After reaching a consensus between raters on linkage of the Secondary Conditions with ICF –CY codes, multiple hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to assess the ability of developmental and family characteristics to predict difficulty with body functions, activities participation and perceived QoL. The findings affirmed the overall predictor quality of the given characteristics, and direction of significant predictions, however there was variability of predictors for each criterion. Practical implications for school psychology are provided.Doctor of Philosoph

Arab intellectuals under the Young Turks : a comparative -historical analysis on memoirs (1908-1918)

Tezin basılısı İstanbul Şehir Üniversitesi Kütüphanesi'ndedir.This comparative-historical research aims to explain how and on what basis the attitudes of the Arab intellectual elites changed towards the Ottoman rule in the Arab provinces between 1908 and 1918. In order to do this I analyze memoirs of the five leading Arab intellectuals, Muhammad Rashid Rida, Amir Shakib Arslan, Muhammad Izzat Darwaza, Salim Ali Selam, and Muhammad Kurd Ali by applying some  concepts  of  Foucault’s  discourse  analysis  method.  The  memoirs,  which  shed   light on the last decade of the Ottoman authority in the Arab provinces, show that as the Ottoman Empire gradually lost its power, Arab intellectual elites became much more  concerned  about  the  Peninsula’s  future.   The  research  reveals  a  number  of  “thresholds,”  crucial  turning  points  based   on the evaluations by the intellectuals in their memoirs, including the alteration of the  CUP’s  policies  from  being  relatively  liberal  and  inclusive  into  more  oppressive,   centralist,  and  nationalist,  the  breakout  of  the  World  War  I,  Cemal  Pasha’s  strict   policies, and the 1916 Arab Revolt played a remarkable role in the transformation of the  Arab  intellectuals’  ideological  discourses  from  Ottomanism  to  different forms of Arab nationalism. This thesis is significant not only because it is located at the intersection of the Ottoman-Turkish modernization literature and that of early Arab nationalism but also because it throws light on a very critical decade of the Arabian Peninsula given the fact that it was in this period that the major power configurations were crystallized leading to the emergence of the Modern Middle East. Key Words: Arab intellectuals, the Committee of Union and Progress, Arab nationalism, World War I, Cemal Pasha, the Arab Revolt.Abstract…………………………………....................................................................v Öz……………………………………………………………………...…….…….vii Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………..ix Table of Contents……………………………………………………………….….x CHAPTER 1.
