    Cataloged from PDF version of article.Tâcî-zâde Cafer Çelebi, the later “nişancı” of Bayezid II, fourty years after the conquest of Istanbul by Ottomans, wrote a mesnevi called Heves-nâme (The Book of Zeal). In his mesnevi, he posed a direct criticism of Ottoman literature’s canonical poets, like Şeyhî and Ahmed Paşa to stress a specific type of “originality”. His peculiar notion of “originality” leads to an ideal, or a project of composing a mesnevi which consists of different narrative pieces that are put together by a sense of coherence. These pieces are three in number. One of them is an iconic depiction of Istanbul’s main places and buildings in the 15th century, and has an interesting connection to the further flourishing genre, that is “şehrengiz”. The second narrative part is distinguished by the scientifically motivated discourse which can be seen in “Acâibü’l-Mahlukat” genre, that is in the popular books of a very general kind of cosmological knowledge. And the last is a certain kind of dictionary which depicts the parts of the beloved’s beauty. Cafer Çelebi’s mesnevi is a product of this ideal of originality, which we can name as “the eclectic wholeness”. Çelebi, in order to place his ideal in a firm basis uses the concepts of “hakikî” (real) and “mecazî” (metaphorical) love, both of which are nothing but parts of a more general discourse of universal and mundane love. The game of love is literal and legal byproduct of this discourse.Atay, HakanM.S

    Previous studies mainly analysed the relationship between perceived organisational support and organisational commitment in a direct way. Limited studies of tourism, however, have found that job satisfaction is a mediator variable in the relationship between perceived organisational support and organisational commitment. The aim of this study is, (i) to analyse the effect of organisational support on job satisfaction, (ii) to analyse the effect of organisational support on the dimensions of organisational commitment, (iii) to analyse the effect of job satisfaction on the dimensions of organisational commitment, and (iv) to analyse the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between perceived organisational support and dimensions of organisational commitment based on an empirical study. The relationship between the variables was analysed by using a multivariate data analysis. Besides this, in the study, the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between perceived organisational support and the dimensions of organisational commitment was analysed by the technique recommended by Baron and Kenny (1986) and the Sobel test. The findings indicated that perceived organisational support had a significant positive effect on job satisfaction, affective, normative and continuous commitment. Job satisfaction had a significant positive effect on affective, normative and continuous commitment as well. Besides this, job satisfaction played a partial mediating role between perceived organisational support and dimensions of organisational commitment. Implications were presented for hotel managers who want to keep and encourage their employees to work in the hotel industry

    This study determines the effects of organizational citizenship behavior on the emotional labor by depending on the theory that exhibiting organizational citizenship behavior might reduce the negation emotional labor expenditure might create. As a result, a significant positive correlation between organizational citizenship behavior and emotional labor has been found. To put it more explicitly; the employees exhibiting organizational citizenship behavior gain a stronger position against the negative effects of emotional labor expenditures. Positive correlation occurs, in the superficial entreating phase of emotional labor. While employees are harmonizing their real feelings which appear in the phase of deep entreating according to the norms of organization and the duty, organizational citizenship behavior has a positive impact. In other words; it can be said that organizational citizenship behavior affects the function of emotional regulation in a positive way. At this point; it can be possible to regulate and manage the deep negative effects of emotional labor on the employees by means of organizational motivators

    Diagnostic Value of Blood D-dimer Level in Acute Mesenteric Ischaemia in the Rat: An Experimental Study

    ObjectiveThe high mortality rate of mesenteric ischaemia is mainly due to delay in diagnosis. For this reason, it is of great importance to find a specific and rapidly elevating marker. The present study investigated the diagnostic value of blood D-dimer level as a potential marker for acute mesenteric ischaemia in a rat model.MethodsThirty male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. Basal D-dimer and L-lactate levels were determined in the non-operative control group (I). In the operated control group (II), the superior mesenteric artery was simply manipulated, while the artery was ligated in Group III. Blood samples were drawn in all groups for D-dimer and L-lactate assays.ResultsBoth Group II (p = 0.016) and Group III (p = 0.001) had significantly higher mean D-dimer levels in the first postoperative hour compared with the basal level in Group I. However, there was no difference between the levels in Groups II and III. The mean level in Group II in the sixth hour had dropped to a statistically insignificant level compared with the basal value, while the mean value in Group III kept rising during this period (p = 0.001). Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between Groups II and III. On the other hand, the mean L-lactate level in the first postoperative hour in Group III was significantly higher than the basal level in Group I (p = 0.003). No significant rises were recorded in Group II in the first and sixth postoperative hours. The difference between Groups II and III in the first hour was significant (p = 0.005). Group III also had significantly higher mean serum L-lactate value in the sixth hour compared with both the basal value in Group I (p = 0.001) and the sixth-hour value in Group II (p = 0.003).ConclusionThese results do not adequately support the use of blood D-dimer level as an independent parameter in the diagnosis of mesenteric ischaemia due to arterial thrombosis. However, this parameter can be used together with other tests in eliminating the possibility of a thromboembolic event

    Immature event-related alpha dynamics in children compared with the young adults during inhibition shown by day-night stroop task

    Introduction: Inhibitory control develops gradually from infancy to childhood and improves further during adolescence as the brain matures. Related previous studies showed the indispensable role of task-related alpha power during inhibition both in children and young adults. Nonetheless, none of the studies have been able to investigate the direct differences in brain responses between children and young adults when confronted with a stimulus that should be inhibited. Because, unlike event-related designs, task-related designs involve continuous tasks over a certain period, which precludes the possibility of making such a comparison. Accordingly, by employing event-related design, the present study first time in the literature, aimed to analyze the event-related alpha phase locking and event-related alpha synchronization/ desynchronization to differentiate the inhibitory processes in children compared to young adults. Methods: Twenty children between the ages of 6 to 7 years and 20 healthy young adult subjects between the ages of 18 to 30 years were included in the study. Day-night Stroop task was applied to all subjects during 18-channel EEG recordings. Event-related time-frequency analysis was performed with the complex Morlet Wavelet Transform for the alpha frequency band (8–13 Hz). Event related spectral perturbation (ERSP) in three different time windows (0–200 ms, 200–400 ms, 400–600 ms) and Event-related phase locking in the early time window (0–400 ms) was calculated. Results: The children had increased alpha power in early and late time windows but decreased alpha phase locking in the early time windows compared to young adults. There were also topological differences between groups; while young adults had increased alpha phase-locking in frontal and parietal electrode sites, children had increased occipital alpha power and phase locking. Discussion: The shift in event-related alpha power observed from posterior to anterior regions with age may suggest a progressive maturation of the frontal areas involved in inhibitory processes from childhood to adulthood. The results of the present study showed that children and young adults had different EEG oscillatory dynamics during inhibitory processes at alpha frequency range

    Developing a Scoring Function for NMR Structure-based Assignments using Machine Learning

    Abstract. Determining the assignment of signals received from the experiments (peaks) to specific nuclei of the target molecule in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR 1 ) spectroscopy is an important challenge. Nuclear Vector Replacement (NVR) ([2, 3]) is a framework for structurebased assignments which combines multiple types of NMR data such as chemical shifts, residual dipolar couplings, and NOEs. NVR-BIP [1] is a tool which utilizes a scoring function with a binary integer programming (BIP) model to perform the assignments. In this paper, support vector machines (SVM) and boosting are employed to combine the terms in NVR-BIP's scoring function by viewing the assignment as a classification problem. The assignment accuracies obtained using this approach show that boosting improves the assignment accuracy of NVR-BIP on our data set when RDCs are not available and outperforms SVMs. With RDCs, boosting and SVMs offer mixed results

    Allopurinol is a well-known drug to treat hyperuricemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, gout, or tumor lysis syndrome. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, elevated liver enzyme, pancreatitis, and skin rashes. Drug reaction with eosinophilic and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare but life-threating complication of allopurinol treatment. Here, we present a 60-year-old male patient admitted with skin rashes, stomatitis, dyspnea, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes, acute renal failure, and eosinophilia, who was diagnosed with allopurinol-related DRESS syndrome
