Çalışanların Psikolojik Güvenlik Algısı ve Politik Taktik Davranışları Arasındaki İlişkiler

Bu araştırmanın amacı çalışanların kurumsal ortama yönelik psikolojik güvenlikalgılarının politik taktik davranışlarına nasıl etki ettiğini tespit etmektir. Araştırmada nicel yöntemkullanılmış, veriler anket tekniği aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Toplamda 820 katılımcıdan eldeedilen veriler üzerinden analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre katılımcılarçalıştıkları kurumda psikolojik olarak kendilerini çok da fazla güvende algılamamakta vehedeflerini elde etmek için öncelikli olarak mantıkla ikna taktiğini ve göze girme taktiğini tercihetmektedirler. Psikolojik güvenlik algısı ile genel anlamda politik taktik davranış ve spesifikolarak alt boyutları arasında orta ve düşük düzeyli negatif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.Psikolojik güvenlik algısının en yüksek düzeyde göze girme taktiğini etkilediği, yine mübadeletaktiği üzerinde nispeten bir etkisi olduğu, mantıklı ikna taktiği üzerinde ise yok denebilecek birdüzeyde de olsa bir etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte çalışanların politik taktikdavranışları ve psikolojik güvenlik algısının demografik özelliklere göre farklılaştığı dagörülmüştür.The purpose of this study is to determine how the psychological safety perceptions of the employees, about the organizational environment, affect the political tactical behaviors. The quantitative method was preferred in the research and the data were obtained using the survey technique. Analyzes were carried out on the data obtained from 820 participants in total. According to the results of the research, the participants do not perceive themselves very safe in the organization they work in and prefer primarily rationality influence tactics and upward influence tactics to achieve their goals. A moderate and low-level negative relationship was found between the perception of psychological safety and political tactical behavior in general and its sub-dimensions. It is determined that the perception of psychological safety affects the upward influence tactics at the highest level, has a relative impact on the exchange tactics, and has an effect on the tactics of rational persuasion, albeit at a level that can be considered as absent. In addition, it was observed that the employees' political tactical behavior and psychological safety perception differed according to demographic characteristics

DIFFERENCES IN CLINICAL FEATURES, ETIOLOGY, TYPES, AND RISK FACTORS FOR COMPLICATIONS BETWEEN YOUNG AND OLDER PATIENTS WITH SKIN AND SOFT TISSUE INFECTIONS

WOS: 000437936900017Introduction: This study investigated differences in clinical features, types, etiology, and risk factors for complications between young and older patients with skin and soft tissue infections. Futhermore, age-related differences in healthcare-associated and complicated infections were identified. Materials and Method: This retrospective study included 206 skin and soft tissue infection patients hospitalized during an 8-year period. Data were collected using a form: patients' characteristics, clinical features, laboratory values, prior antibiotic use, causative microorganisms, and antibiotic treatment. For cases with clinically diagnosed, samples were taken from the suspected infection sites. Gram staining, deep swab, deep tissue and blood culture results were evaluated. Results: The incidence of diabetes mellitus was significantly higher among patients aged >= 65 years. Among these old patients, Escherichia coli (11/31, 35.5%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8/31, 25.8%) were the most frequently isolated pathogens. Approximately half of the Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from patients with health care-associated infection were resistant to methicillin (8/15, 53.3%), and these patients produced higher levels of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. Venous insufficiency (p=0.008) and prior hospitalization (p=0.001) were identified as risk factors for complication in patients aged >= 65. The median time-to-clinical response was 7 days in older patients with non-complicated infection (p=0.007). Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus was the most common co-morbid factor in older patients. Risk factors for complication may differ by age. Gram-negative pathogens were more commonly isolated in older patients. The time-to-clinical response was significantly longer in older patients with non-complicated infection than young patients

F1 Melez Armut Populasyonunun Ateş Yanıklığı Hastalığı Etmeni Erwinia amylovora Karşı Reaksiyonunun Belirlenmesi

In this study, susceptibility levels of different hybrid pear individuals were determined against fire blight disease agent Erwinia amylovora by artificial inoculations. According to the pathogenity tests of 75 different E. amylovora strains, made on apple and pear shoots, highly virulent 7 strains were used in the testing of the hybrids. E. amylovora suspension was prepared with equal mixes of these 7 selected strains. This suspension was inoculated to hybrid plants by shoot injections that carried out twice, in August 2010 and May 2011. According to the evaluations made through necrotic shoot rate, totaly 7495 hybrid seedlings inoculated, and 11,91% of them were “the least susceptible” 3,99% were “less susceptible”, 6,62% were “moderately susceptible”, 18,07% were “highly susceptible”, 59,41% were “the most susceptible”. More “the least susceptible” pear hybrids were obtained from the combinations of resistant Magness cultivar than the other combinations.Ateş Yanıklığı hastalığına dayanıklı armut tiplerinin belirlenmesini amaçlayan bu çalışmada, melez armut bireylerin Ateş Yanıklığı hastalığı etmeni Erwinia amylovora’ya karşı duyarlılık durumu suni inokulasyonla ortaya konmuştur. Bireylerin testlemesinde, 75 farklı E. amylovora izolatı içinden, elma ve armut sürgünlerinde yapılan patojenite testlerine göre virulensi yüksek olan 7 izolat seçilerek kullanılmıştır. Melez bireyler bu izolatların eşit oranda karışımlarından oluşan E. amylovora süspansiyonu ile Ağustos 2010 ve Mayıs 2011 tarihlerinde sürgün injeksiyonuyla iki kez inokule edilmiştir.

Treatment of Candida sternal infection following cardiac surgery - a review of literature

WOS: 000458175000001PubMed: 30264627Background: Candida sternal wound infections (SWIs) following cardiac surgery are rare but are associated with a high mortality rate. Guidelines on this topic either propose no suggestions for management or offer recommendations based on a small number of reports. Methods: This paper presents a case of a Candida SWI and its successful treatment with debridement using a burr, negative pressure vacuum therapy (NPVT) and dermal grafting. To investigate different methods of treating Candida SWIs following cardiac surgery, a review was completed using the MEDLINE database. Reports without English abstracts and without defined outcomes of therapy for individual patients were excluded. Results: Seventy-seven cases of Candida SWIs following cardiac surgery were identified in 20 articles published since 1999, including our case. Treatment strategies are identified: omentum flap; muscle flap; debridement and secondary wound healing with or without NPVT; debridement and primary closure; incision and drainage; only medical therapy. Patients documented in the articles were classified based on the following outcomes: cured (n = 41 patients [including the present case]), relapse infection (n = 25 patients) and death (n = 11 patients). The various methods used to treat patients were analysed. Conclusions: Delayed closure reoperation with surgical debridement and NPVT have favourable outcomes. In the presence of widespread osteomyelitis, the use of omental flaps is advocated. Treatment with muscle flaps has a high rate of relapse. Debridement and secondary healing or conservative management with antifungals alone can be considered in the treatment of relapsing infection

Evaluation of Fire Blight (Erwinia amylovora) Disease Reaction of Pear Hybrid Combinations

Bilen, Emre/0000-0003-1745-4044; HORUZ, Sumer/0000-0002-5374-7082WOS: 000403032200003Fire blight caused by pathogenic bacterium Erwinia amylovora, is the serious disease of pear. Since there is no effective chemical management to this disease except antibiotic-type compounds, it is very important to improve new fire blight resistant cultivars. In this research, it was aimed to select and develop fire blight resistant pear types and to determine fire blight susceptibility levels of pear hybrids, obtained from different projects. Hybrid plants were inoculated by shoot injections twice each year. Evaluations were made through necrotic shoot rate and susceptibility levels of hybrids were determined. During the experiments, 7036 hybrid pear seedlings inoculated, and 12.28% of them were found as "very low susceptibility" (A), 3.62% as "low susceptibility" (B) classes.TUBITAKTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [TOVAG 106O719, 110O938]These projects were (TOVAG 106O719 and 110O938) supported by TUBITAK
