Erzincan’ın Şehirsel Toponimisi ve Şehir Kimliği Üzerindeki Etkisi

Adlandırma, insanoğlunun bir kişiyi, nesneyi ya da yeri bir başkasından ayırt etmek için kullandığı bir araçtır. Bununla birlikte özellikle yer adları, bunun çok daha ötesinde bir anlam ifade etmektedir. İnsanoğlu bir yeri adlandırırken, kullandığı ismin o mekânı, kültürü hatta kendisini yansıtmasını ister. Bu yönüyle yer adları, toplumun bir aynası olarak kabul görmektedir. Mahalle, cadde, sokak, meydan, bulvar gibi şehirsel mekânların adlandırılması da benzer özellikler taşımakla birlikte, bunlarda kullanılan isimlerin anma, hatırlama ve ulus kimlik oluşturma işlevleri de bulunmaktadır. Bir başka ifadeyle, bu adlara şehir kimliğinin oluşumu ve yansıtılması bakımından önemli görevler yüklenmiştir. Bu çalışma da Erzincan şehrinin toponimisini bu yönüyle incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda Erzincan Belediyesi’nden temin edilen ve şehir alanı içerisinde kalan 57 mahalle, 147 cadde, 3 390 sokak, 5 meydan ve 6 bulvar adı ele alınmış ve bu adlar belli esaslara göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Buna göre, Erzincan’daki bahsi geçen şehirsel mekânlara önemli şahıs adlarının, cumhuriyetle ilgili adların ve şehit adlarının yaygın olarak verildiği görülmüştür. Bu yönüyle Erzincan şehrindeki adlandırmaların ulus kimlik oluşturma ve hatırlama paradigması ile örtüştüğü ve Erzincan şehrine bir kimlik kattığı tespit edilmiştir. Nitekim adlandırmalarda kullanılan Osmanlı padişahları, Cumhuriyet dönemi şahısları, dini önderler ve yakın zaman siyasi kişilikler dikkate alındığında, Erzincan şehrinde milliyetçi-muhafazakâr bir eğilimin varlığı görülebilmektedir

A Study on the Relationship between the Levels of Loneliness and Smartphone Addiction of Students who are Studying at the Faculty of Sports Science

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between loneliness and smartphone addiction of students studying at the faculty of sports sciences. The study was conducted with the correlational survey method. The study group consisted of a total of 281 students, 61 females (21.7%) and 220 males (78.3%). In the study, Mobile telephone addiction scale developed by Sar, Ayas, and Horzum (2015) was used to investigate the mobile phone addiction levels of the participants. Loneliness scale developed by Demir (1989) was used to measure loneliness levels. According to the results of the study, there was no statistically significant difference between loneliness and smartphone addiction of students according to gender and academic achievement variables. On the other hand, there was a significant difference between loneliness and smartphone addiction according to the departments of the students. Looking at the relationship between loneliness and smartphone addiction levels, it was concluded that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between all sub-dimensions of smartphone addiction and smartphone addiction total score

The effectiveness and safety of ultrasound guided renal biopsies Ultrason rehberliǧinde yapilan böbrek biyopsilerinin etkinlik ve komplikasyonlari

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of US guided renal biopsies with 16G semi-automated biopsy needles. Material and Methods: Renal biopsies obtained with 16G semi-automated biopsy needle between the years 2005-2007 were included into the study. Free hand technique under US guidance was used. The biopsies were categorized as the ones obtained from a lesion and the ones obtained for parenchymal disease. The pathology results were noted and effectiveness was calculated. Major (need for blood transfusion, radiological intervention or surgical intervention, acute renal obstruction or failure, septicemia and death) and minor (pain and hematuria) complications were noted. Results: There were 32 patients in the lesion group and 73 patients in parenchymal disease group. In five patients the biopsy material was not suitable for a pathological diagnosis. In three patients biopsies were obtained from the necrotic part of the lesion and in two patients parenchymal biopsy was inadequately obtained from the medulla. All other biopsies were sufficient and appropriate for a pathological diagnosis. So the success rate was %95,1 for all biopsies, %90,62 for lesion biopsies, and %97,26 for parenchymal biopsies. Minor complications were seen in six patients. Conclusion: Renal biopsies with 16G semi-automated biopsy needles under US guidance are effective and safe

Internalized Stigma in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) causes significant physical, social, and psychological burdens. Internalized stigma, acceptance of negative attitudes and stereotypes of society regarding a person's illness, has not been studied previously in HS. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the internalized stigma state of HS patients and identify the factors affecting it. Methods: This multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional study included 731 patients. Internalized Stigma Scale (ISS), Hurley staging, Physician Global Assessment, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Skindex-16, Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS)-pain score were used in the study. Results: The mean ISS value (57.50 ± 16.90) was comparable to the mean ISS values of studies in visible dermatological and various psychiatric diseases. A significant correlation was found between the mean values of ISS and all disease activity scores, quality of life measures, BDI-II, and VAS-pain scores. Obesity, family history, low education and income level, vulva/scrotum involvement and being actively treated are significant and independent predictive factors for high internalized stigma in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: HS patients internalize society's negative judgements, which may create a profound negative effect on access to health care. Therefore, in addition to suppressing disease activity, addressing internalized stigma is fundamental for improving health care quality
