Beliren yetişkinlikte romantik ilişki doyumu

The aim of the study was to explore the extent to which the length, status and importance of current romantic relationship, the number of previous romantic relationship, as well as individual factors, such as levels of self-compassion, and anxiety about social appearance, are predictors of the romantic relationship satisfaction of young adults. The study included 284 university students but 34 of them were removed for several reasons and analysis was carried out with 250 participants (59.6% female, 40.4% male). Relationship Assessment Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, and demographic information form were used to collect data. Hierarchical regression analysis results showed that the importance of the current romantic relationship, the number of previous romantic relationships, and levels of self-compassion were positive predictors but the length and the status of the relationship, along with the level of anxiety regarding social appearance were not significant predictors of romantic relationship satisfaction. The model explained 37% of the variance in the romantic relationship satisfaction of young adults.Bu çalışmanın amacı, şu anki romantik ilişkinin süresi, statüsü, önemi ve önceki romantik ilişkilerin toplam sayısı gibi çeşitli ilişki özellikleri ile birlikte öz şefkat ve sosyal görünüş kaygısı gibi bireysel faktörlerin, beliren yetişkinlerin romantik ilişki doyumunu ne ölçüde yordadığını araştırmaktır. Araştırmaya 284 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır ancak çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerden 34’ü çeşitli nedenlerle araştırma kapsamı dışında bırakılmıştır. Bu nedenle analizler, 250 öğrencinin verileri (%59.6 kadın, % 40.4 erkek) kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, İlişki Doyumu Ölçeği, Öz Şefkat Ölçeği, Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen demografik bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Hiyerarşik regresyon analizi bulgularına göre, devam eden ilişkinin önemi, daha önceki ilişkilerin sayısı ve öz şefkat beliren yetişkinlerin romantik ilişki doyumunu pozitif yönde yordayan değişkenlerdir. Ancak şu anki romantik ilişkinin süresinin, statüsünün ve sosyal görünüş kaygısının beliren yetişkinlerin romantik ilişki doyumunu anlamlı bir şekilde yordamadığı bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma kapsamında test edilen model, beliren yetişkinlerin romantik ilişki doyumunu açıklayan varyansın %37’sini açıklamaktadır

Ortaokul yöneticilerinin kullandıkları örgütsel güç türleri ve öğretmenlerin örgütsel sessizlik davranışları

Güç, birinin başka birini istediği şekilde etkilemesi ve o kişi üzerinde istenilen değişimleri gerçekleştirebilmesiyle ilgilidir. Güç kavramının göreceli olarak insandan insana farklı şeyler çağrıştırdığı görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte, tüm toplumlarda her daim önemsenen değer olarak karşılaşılmaktadır. İnsanlık tarihinde güç, uygulama ve mücadeleler tarihinde yerini alır. Bunun yanında örgütlerde sessizlik kavramı, başlangıç olarak bir bağlılığa işaret ediyor gibi görülse de esasen çalışanların örgütsel sorun ve konularla ilgili görüş ve bilgi sahibi olmasıyla birlikte bu bilgileri bilinçli bir şekilde saklanması olarak betimlenmektedir. Bu açıklamalardan hareketle çalışma genel olarak beş bölüme ayrılmıştır. Giriş bölümünde problem durumu, araştırmanın amacı ve önemi vurgulanmıştır. İkinci bölümde betimsel literatür tarama tekniği kullanılarak konuyla ilgili teorik bilgiler aktarılmıştır. Üçüncü bölümde yöntem, dördüncü bölümde bulgular ve beşinci bölümde de sonuç ve tartışma olarak ayrılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini, 2015- 2016 eğitim öğretim yılında Denizli ili merkezindeki (Pamukkale ve Merkezefendi ilçeleri) ortaokul bölümde çalışan 2285 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Yapılan bu araştırmada 3 bölümden oluşan bir anket formu kullanılmıştır. İlk bölümde öğretmenlerin demografik özelliklerini tespit etmek amaçlı yazar tarafından oluşturulan ve 7 sorudan meydana gelen kısım yer almaktadır. İkinci bölümde ise öğretmenlerin kullanılan güç türlerini tespit etmek amaçlı Aslanargun (2009) tarafından doktora tezi kapsamında geliştirilen “Güç Türleri Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Üçüncü bölümde ise öğretmenlerin örgütsel sessizlik düzeylerini ölçmek amaçlı Kahveci ve Demirtaş (2013) tarafından geliştirilen “Örgütsel sessizlik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada örgütsel güç türleri ile örgütsel sessizlik davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin tespiti için yapılan korelasyon analizi sonucunda; ödül gücü ile okul ortamı, duygu, yönetici, izolasyon boyutlarıyla negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu görülmektedir. Zorlayıcı güç ile okul ortamı arasında pozitif, duygu ile negatif, sessizliğin kaynağı ile pozitif, yönetici ile negatif, izolasyon ile negatif yönlü; karşılıklı güç ile okul ortamı, duygu, sessizliğin kaynağı, izolasyon alt boyutları ile aynı şekilde negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Uzmanlık gücü ile okul ortamı, duygu, sessizliğin kaynağı, yönetici, izolasyon alt boyutlarıyla negatif yönlü anlamlı seviyede ilişki bulunmaktadır. Bilgi gücü ile duygu, yönetici, izolasyon alt boyutlarıyla negatif yönlü anlamlı seviyede ilişki bulunmaktadır. Bağlılık gücü ile okul ortamı, duygu, sessizliğin kaynağı, yönetici, izolasyon alt boyutlarıyla negatif yönlü anlamlı seviyede ilişki bulunmaktadır. Karizmatik güç ile okul ortamı, duygu, sessizliğin kaynağı, yönetici, izolasyon alt boyutlarıyla negatif yönlü anlamlı seviyede ilişki bulunmaktadır. Okul müdürlerinin kullandıkları güç türlerinin öğretmenlerin örgütsel sessizlik algılarının anlamlı yordayıcısı olup olmadığına ilişkin regresyon sonuçlarına göre okul müdürlerinin kullandıkları güç türlerinin öğretmenlerin örgütsel sessizliğini anlamlı düzeyde yordadığını göstermektedir. Bu bulguya dayalı olarak öğretmenlerin, okul müdürlerinin kullandıkları güç türlerine ilişkin algıları arttıkça öğretmenlerin örgütsel sessizlik düzeylerinin de artacağı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.Power is highly related with ones who have the ability to affect and change others in a manner that he/she desires. It is seen that the concept of power is associated with different terms according to different people. However power is always a significant value amongst all societies. Power takes its place in history through implementations and struggles. Nonetheless, even though the concept of organizational silence points out loyalty and commitment at first sight, considering that employees have adequate information and opinion, the concept of organizational silence in fact can be described as conscious and intentional silence of employees. Considering above mentioned explanations, this study is composed of five sections. In the introduction part, concept of the problem, the purpose of the study and the importance of the study are described. In the second part of the study, theoretical information about the subject is conveyed by using descriptive literature scanning technique. In the third and the fourth parts of the study method and findings are analyzed, respectively. The fifth part of the study is conclusion and discussions. The universe of the study is composed of 2285 teachers who work in secondary schools in Denizli (Pamukkale and Merkezefendi districts) city center in 2015-2016 academic year. A questionnaire consisting of three parts is used in this study. The first part consists of a section formed by the author in order to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants and includes 7 questions. In the second part of the study, "Power Sources Scale”, developed by Aslanargun (2009) in the scope of his doctorate thesis, is used in order to determine the power types that are used by the participants. In the third part, "Organizational Silence Scale" developed by Kahveci and Demirtaş (2013) is used to measure organizational silence levels of the participants. As a result of the performed correlation analysis to determine the relationship between organizational silence behaviors and organizational power sources; it is seen that prize power is negatively and considerably related with sub-dimensions of organizational silence behaviors namely school environment, emotion, managers and isolation. Compulsive power is positively related with both school environment and the source of silence. On the other hand, compulsive power is negatively related with emotion, managers and isolation. Mutual power is negatively related with school environment, emotion, the source of silence, and isolation. Expertise power is negatively related at a considerable level with school environment, emotion, the source of silence, managers and isolation sub-dimensions. Information power is negatively related at a considerable level with emotion, managers and isolation sub-dimensions. Commitment power is negatively related at a considerable level with school environment, emotion, the source of silence, managers and isolation sub-dimensions. Charismatic power is negatively related at a considerable level with school environment, emotion, the source of silence, managers and isolation sub-dimensions. According to the results of regression that predicts if power types used by school managers is a meaningful indicator of teacher’s perception of organizational silence or not; power types used by school managers predicts teacher’s organizational silence at a considerable rate. Depending on this result, it is concluded that as teachers' perception of power types used by school managers increases, teachers organizational silence level will increase as well

The Effect of Increasing Doses of Sulfur Application of Some Nutrient Elements, Vitamin Protein Contents and Biological Properties of Canola Plant (Brassica Napus L.)

Some biological properties of canola plant increased with increasing sulfur application. Plant height was determined as 37.16 cm, plant weight as 101.87g and number of leaves plant as 8.33 for S3 dose application. Canola plant can be an alternative product rather for vegetables which have rapid growth periods such as lettuce, cress, rocket, fresh onion, garlic, and leek from the months of late fall to early spring even until the beginning of summer

The New Mode of Housing Production: Gated Communities in İstanbul

The city of Istanbul is undergoing rapid socio-spatial transformation due to globalization and neoliberal policies. These policies lead to social segregation by creating unequal income distribution and employment opportunities. This rapid transformation is changing housing demand and supply. Urban elites flee from the chaos and insecurity of the city and start to move into gated communities (GCs) located in the urban periphery. These gated communities are the newest form of housing production in Istanbul. The main reasons for upper income groups to choose to live in GCs are prestige and privacy, while the new lifestyle offered by these projects is more important for the middle income groups. Security is a principle reason for every income group’s choice to live in GCs. The local and international housing market continues to produce GCs that advertise security, a new lifestyle and prestige. GCs are determining Istanbul’s peripheral urban development and sprawl pattern. Therefore, the inner dynamics of GCs need to be studied to develop optimum planning policies. This study examines the development of GCs in Istanbul, the new lifestyle they offer and their effects on planning

Four Hydatid Cysts in One Family: Is Family Screening Necessary?

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection mostly caused by Echinococcus granulosus. As transmission occurs from infected dogs, it is endemic in animal husbandry regions. Here four patients within the same family are presented. The first patient is a 10 year-old girl admitted with nausea, vomiting, and fever. On her physical examination, there were decreased respiratory sounds in the right lung, rales, and hepatomegaly. In the radiological examination, cysts were seen in both her lung and liver. After the confirmation of the diagnosis with a serological examination, surgical resection was performed, and albendazole treatment was given. On family screening, cysts were detected in the liver and spleen in her asymptomatic 6-year-old brother; in the lung, liver, spleen, and right kidney in her 33-year-old mother who had repeating abdominal pain; and in the liver and left kidney in her 33-year-old asymptomatic father. Hydatid cyst infection was serologically confirmed in all patients, and they were given albendazole and were surgically treated. In this case report, four patients in the same family and diagnosed as having hydatid cysts were presented. It was emphasized that once a hydatid cyst was diagnosed, family screening became important, in endemic regions in particular

Evaluation of abdominal computed tomography findings in patients with COVID-19: a multicenter study

PURPOSE: To evaluate the frequency of abdominal computed tomography (CT) findings in patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and interrogate the relationship between abdominal CT findings and patient demographic features, clinical findings, and laboratory test results as well as the CT atherosclerosis score in the abdominal aorta. METHODS: This study was designed as a multicenter retrospective study. The abdominal CT findings of 1.181 patients with positive abdominal symptoms from 26 tertiary medical centers with a positive polymerase chain-reaction test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 were reviewed. The frequency of ischemic and non-ischemic CT findings as well as the association between CT findings, clinical features, and abdominal aortic calcific atherosclerosis score (AA-CAS) were recorded. RESULTS: Ischemic and non-ischemic abdominal CT findings were detected in 240 (20.3%) and 328 (27.7%) patients, respectively. In 147 patients (12.4%), intra-abdominal malignancy was present. The most frequent ischemic abdominal CT findings were bowel wall thickening (n = 120; 10.2%) and perivascular infiltration (n = 40; 3.4%). As for non-ischemic findings, colitis (n = 91; 7.7%) and small bowel inflammation (n = 73; 6.2%) constituted the most frequent disease processes. The duration of hospital stay was found to be higher in patients with abdominal CT findings than in patients without any positive findings (13.8 ± 13 vs. 10.4 ± 12.8 days, P < 0.001). The frequency of abdominal CT findings was significantly higher in patients who did not survive the infection than in patients who were discharged after recovery (41.7% vs. 27.4%, P < 0.001). Increased AA-CAS was found to be associated with a higher risk of ischemic conditions in abdominal CT examinations. CONCLUSION: Abdominal symptoms in patients with COVID-19 are usually associated with positive CT findings. The presence of ischemic findings on CT correlates with poor COVID-19 outcomes. A high AA-CAS is associated with abdominal ischemic findings in patients with COVID-19

Measurements of tumor size using CT and PET compared to histopathological size in non-small cell lung cancer

PURPOSEIn this study, we aimed to compare the tumor sizes determined by maximum morphological computed tomography (CT) and functional positron emission tomography (PET) with the histopathological size to determine which method provides the best correlation with the histopathological size in lung carcinoma patients.MATERIALS AND METHODSForty lung carcinoma patients (39 males, one female) diagnosed histopathologically from surgical resection materials were included in this retrospective study. The mean age (±standard deviation, SD) of the patients was 67.8±10.3 years with a range of 44 to 81 years. The PET scans were performed within the same week as the CT scan. In the CT scans, the morphological tumor sizes were measured three-dimensionally by the longest transaxial section in the parenchymal and mediastinal screening window. The functional tumor sizes were also measured three-dimensionally in the PET scans. These two measurement values were compared with the histopathological size using Bland-Altman plotting. Bland-Altman plotting was also performed to define the 95% limits of agreement, which was presented as the bias ±1.96 SD.RESULTSThe histopathological sizes were measured in a range of 1.2 to 7.5 cm. The maximum measurement of the tumors on the CT scans showed a lower concordance (mean difference, -0.30) than that obtained from PET, and the SD was found to be larger than the PET (1.96 SD was 3.50 for CT and 2.50 for PET).CONCLUSIONThe PET measurements of tumor size were more compatible with the histopathological sizes than the CT measurements in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
