School principals' opinions about management upon values

Management upon value is to consolidate occupations around common values so that managers are aware of the individual values of the occupations and act effectively and efficiently in the direction of their organization. It is envisaged that the managers will create a system of common values, without emphasizing individual values, to develop the motivation and skills of the organizational workshops. The purpose of this research is to determine the opinions of the principals working in public elementary, secondary and high school levels affiliated to Denizli province Merkezefendi and Pamukkale districts about the topic management by values. In this qualitative research in the case study, a structured interview technique was used and the questions developed by the researchers were asked to the school principals. The working group consists of 10 school principals working in the public primary, secondary and high school levels affiliated to the Denizli Provincial Directorate and Pamukkale District National Education Directorates. In the analysis of the data, descriptive and content analysis techniques were used together. The data transferred to the article were edited, the themes were created from the encoded data, and the findings were defined and interpreted. The school principals interviewed indicated that it would be an effective way to act jointly by providing consensus on the way in which the management style can be built with values and this management style; employees will be able to help themselves to the company, to be happy at work, and to work more effectively and efficiently

The Influence of Different Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Alveolar Bone in Rats: An Experimental Study

Svrha ovog istraživanja bila je proučiti učinak deksketoprofen-trometamola, meloksikama i natrijeva diklofenaka na netretiranu alveolarnu kost kada se koriste lijekovi za neku drugu indikaciju. Materijali i metode: Dvadeset osam mužjaka štakora Spraque-Dawley randomizirano je u četiri grupe na sličan način: tretirani su deksketoprofen-trometamolom (grupa 1.), meloksikamom (grupa 2.) i natrijevim diklofenakom (grupa 3.), a u kontrolnoj grupi nije se primjenjivao nikakav lijek. Nesteroidne protuupalne lijekove (NSAID) dobivali su deset dana nakon frakture fibule. Netretiranoj alveolarnoj kosti histopatološki se procjenjivala gustoća spongiozne kosti te osteoklastična i osteoblastična gustoća. Rezultati: Gustoća spongiozne kosti bila je niža u eksperimentalnim grupama (grupe od 1 do 3) negoli u kontrolnoj (p < 0,05). Suprotno tome, u eksperimentalnim grupama uočeno je povećanje gustoće osteoklasta u odnosu prema kontrolnoj grupi (p < 0,05). Prema gustoći osteoblasta grupe 2 i 3 bile su niže od kontrolne (p < 0,05), ali je u grupi 1 gustoća bila ista kao i u kontrolnoj. Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje pokazalo je da sustavno korištenje NSAID-a može utjecati na netretiranu alveolarnu kost. To se treba uzeti u obzir u slučaju produljenog korištenja tih lijekova.The aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dexketoprofen trometamol, meloxicam, diclofenac sodium on any untreated alveolar bone when they are used as drugs for another indication. Materials and Methods: Twenty eight male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups as dexketoprofen trometamol (Group I), meloxicam (Group II), diclofenac sodium (Group III) and control group. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) were administered after a fibula fracture for 10 days. Untreated alveolar bone was histopathologically examined for spongious bone density, osteoclastic density and osteoblastic density. Results: Spongious bone density was lower in study groups (Group I, group II and group III) than the control group (p<0.05). In contrast, the increase in osteoclastic density was observed in other groups apart from the control group (p<0.05). Osteoblastic density was evaluated and it was determined that group II and group III had lower results than the control group (p<0.05) but group I was equal to the control group. Conclusion: This study showed that systemically administrated NSAIDs have the potential to affect untreated alveolar bone. This should also be considered in long term use of NSAIDs

Introduction: Within many studies little attention has been paid to elders' ideas about medicines. This qualitative study set out to explore the experiences of elderly requiring chronic treatment

The effect of sliding speed on the wear behavior of pulse electro Co-deposited Ni/MWCNT nanocomposite coatings

In this study, Ni/MWCNT nanocomposite coatings were prepared from a modified Watt's type electrolyte by using pulse current (PC) plating technique. The influence of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) content in the electrolyte on the tribological properties of nanocomposites were tested by using a reciprocating ball-on disk apparatus, sliding against to M50 steel ball (phi 10 mm). Coatings were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis before and after wear testing. Nanocomposite coatings showed wear rate decrease between 1.31 and 1.40 times compared with pure Ni coatings. Friction coefficient decreased from 0.883 for pure Ni coating to 0.419 for the Ni/MWCNT nanocomposite because of graphitization and self lubrication effect of the MWCNTs. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
