Psikolojik Sözleşme İhlali ile İşten Ayrılma Niyeti İlişkisinde Demografik Değişkenlerin Düzenleyici Rolü (The Role of Perceived Demographic Variables as Moderator in the Link between Psychological Contract Breach and Turnover Intention)

Psikolojik sözleşme ihlali ile işten ayrılma niyeti, işletmeler için çok önemli konulardır. Psikolojik sözleşmesi ihlal edilen bireyler, işten ayrılmak isteyebilirler. Bu çalışma psikolojik sözleşme ihlali ile işten ayrılma niyeti ilişkisinde demografik değişkenlerin düzenleyici rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacını gerçekleştirmek için anket formu ile elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, anketler Türkiye'de vakıf üniversitelerden 412 öğretim görevlisi tarafından tamamlanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, psikolojik sözleşme ihlali ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca, demografik değişkenlerin psikolojik sözleşme ihlali ve işten ayrılma niyeti üzerinde çeşitli etkileri olduğu saptanmıştır. Psychological contract breach and turnover intention are crucial issues for organizations. İndividuals whose psychological contract is violated may intend to leave from their organizations. This study aims to examine the moderating role of demographic variables in the link between psychological contract breach and turnover intention. Data obtained by means of the questionnaire was analysed in order to realize the aim of the study. In this regard, the questionnaires were completed by 412 academicians from private universities, in Turkey. According to the results, it appeared to be a positive relationship between psychological contract breach and turnover intention.On the contrary, it is determined that demographic variables have various effect on psychological contract breach and turnover intentio

The Short-Term Effect of Eugenol on the Prevention of Experimentally Induced Myringosclerosis in a Rat Model

Objective:The aim of our study was to assess the possible short-term effects of topical and oral eugenol on the suppression of experimentally developed myringosclerosis (MS).Methods:Four groups of seven male Wistar albino rats were used in the study. The tympanic membranes (TMs) of all subjects were myringotomized, and group 1 was given no treatment (as control group), group 2 received saline, group 3 had received topical eugenol and group 4 received oral eugenol.Results:In macroscopic evaluation the control and saline groups showed much more MS compared to the topical and oral eugenol groups which had statistically significantly less changes (p<0.05). Fibrosis and inflammation regarding the lamina propria (LP) of the eardrums of the topical and oral eugenol groups were significantly less than those of the control and saline groups (p<0.001). In microscopic evaluation, TMs were found to be thicker in the control and saline groups (p<0.001).Conclusion:Our study showed that the application of topical and oral forms of eugenol reduced fibrosis and prevented the advancement of MS in the LP of the TMs in the short-term. More studies with different extracts are needed to investigate the efficacy of phytotherapeutic agents for preventing MS development following myringotomy

Are neutrophil, platelet and eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution width can be used for nasal polyposis?

We think that caution should be exercised when using these new hematological parameters which can be affected by many factors for the presence, severity and recurrence risk of nasal polyposis, and literature data should be proven by conducting different and objective studies on this subject

Age-dependent differences of the depth of olfactory fossa in children

Objective: With this radio-anatomical study, we aimed to describe the distribution of the depth of the olfactory fossa based on the Keros classification in the pediatric population in our region and to reduce complication rates by providing normative data. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted with computed tomography imaging of the paranasal sinuses of 390 pediatric patients referred over a six-year period in Sakarya and Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine. Patients were divided into 3 groups as 1–6, 6–12, and 12–18 years old. The depth of the olfactory fossa was measured and classified according to the Keros classification. The incidence of Keros asymmetries was also investigated. Results: The distribution of the depth of a total of 780 olfactory fossa according to the Keros classification was 24.7% Keros I, 65.9% Keros II, and 9.4% Keros III. When the groups were evaluated with each other and within each group, it was seen that the prevalence of Keros I type was significantly higher in the first group (p  0.05). Conclusion: In our study, high Keros I rate and low Keros III rate in children aged 1–6 were remarkable. Especially for children under the age of six, questions arise about the validity of the Keros classification. More detailed studies in larger populations, in different ethnicities, and with various age groups are needed. Level of evidence: Level 3
