Patara’dan Yeniden Kullanılmış İki “Blattkelch” Sütun Başlığı. Nero Hamamı ve Çevresindeki Yapı Faaliyetleri Bağlamında MS 2. Yüzyılda Bir Yeniden Kullanım Örneği

During the excavations of the last few years in the so-called Nero bath in Patara, two Blattkelch capitals were found, which gave reasons to the following article. These two capitals were created in the early Roman Imperial Period, although they were not used in the bath until the 2nd century AD. They, and another six that have now disappeared, crowned columns of breccia marble in the frigidarium of the bath mentioned above, which was added around the middle of the 2nd century AD. It was therefore clear to us that this was a practice of reuse in the Roman Imperial Period. This phenomenon, the reuse of architectural elements in that time, has been little studied so far, in contrast to late antiquity and later periods. Although it was relatively easy to determine the reuse in this case of Patara, it is hardly possible to make any statements about the interpretation of its meaning. In this respect, it can only be hoped that more research will increase in the future. The following essay should serve as a contribution to such research.Patara ‘Nero hamamında’ son yıllarda gerçekleşen kazılarda, aşağıdaki makaleye neden olan iki adet sütun başlığı bulunmuştur. Bu iki başlık, MS 2. yüzyılda hamamdaki bir düzenlemede kullanılmalarına rağmen, erken Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi'nde üretilmişlerdir. Bu başlıklar ve maalesef günümüze ulaşamayan diğer altısı, bahsedilen hamamın frigidariumunda, MS 2. yüzyılın ortalarında eklenen breş mermerinden sütunları taçlandırmışlardır. Bu nedenle, bu durumun, Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi'ne ait bir yeniden kullanma uygulaması olduğu açıktır. Yeniden kullanma fenomeni, yani mimari unsurların Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde yeniden kullanılması, geç antik ve sonraki dönemlerin aksine şimdiye kadar çok az dikkate alındı. Aşağıdaki makale bu tür araştırmalara katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Patara'daki bu örnekte yeniden kullanımı tespit etmek görece kolay olsa da anlamının yorumlanması bir takım zorluklar içermektedir. Ancak gelecekte, konuyla ilgili araştırmaların sayılarının artması ve böylece bu fenomenin daha iyi anlaşılır olması umulmaktadır.No sponso

Sealing ability of lateral compaction and tapered single cone gutta-percha techniques in root canals prepared with stainless steel and rotary nickel titanium instruments

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of lateral compaction and tapered single cone gutta-percha techniques in root canals prepared with stainless steel and rotary nickel titanium root canal instruments by fluid filtration method. Study design: The root canals were prepared with stainless steel (SS) and nickel titanium (NiTi) instruments. The canals prepared with SS were obturated with lateral compaction technique using .02 tapered cones and the canals prepared with NiTi instruments were obturated with lateral compaction technique using .02 tapered cones or 06 tapered single cones. The amount of leakage was evaluated by fluid filtration model. The results were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA. Results: The group prepared with NiTi instruments and filled with lateral compaction technique showed significantly less coronal leakage than the group prepared with SS instruments and filled with lateral compaction technique (p0.05). Conclusions: Obturation with lateral compaction of gutta-percha provides a superior coronal seal whilst canal instrumentation with engine-driven NiTi files reduces the extent of microleakage in root canals when compared with stainless steel hand instruments. Tapered single cone technique was comparable with lateral compaction technique because of easier application

Relationship between Person–Environment Fit Types and Turnover Intention: A Moderated Mediation Model

In this study, drawing on Hobfoll’s Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory, we tested a moderated mediation model that investigates person–organization (PO) fit as the mediator and per- son–job (PJ) fit as the moderator in the relationship between person–supervisor (PS) fit and turnover intention. Data were collected from 232 bank employees in Turkey by using a survey method. Consistent with hypothesized conceptual scheme, results showed that PO fit mediated the relationship between PS fit and turnover intention. Furthermore, moderated mediation results indicate that PJ fit not only moderated the relationship between PS fit and PO fit but also reinforced the indirect effect of PS fit on turnover intention (via PO fit). We argue that indirect effect of PS fit on turnover intention through PO fit was stronger for employees with high job fit than for employees with low job fit. The theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are also discussed

A survey of the patara harbor bay: a general overview

Antalya ili sınırlarında yer alan Patara, Antik Dönemde Likya Birliğine başkentlik de yapmış önemli bir liman kentiydi. Kentin varlığının nedeni olan bu liman bugün bir bataklık halindedir. Arkeolojik araştırmaların gerçekleştirilmesini güç kılan bu bataklık ve çevresi çok zengin bir mimari arşive sahiptir. Ama aynı zamanda geçmiş binlerce yılın paleo-çevresel değişimlerinin izlerinin de saklandığı eşsiz bir depo niteliğindedir. Güçlüğüyle orantılı olarak günümüze kadar geçekleşen bilimsel çalışmalar fazla değildir. Yine de geçmiş çalışma ve gözlemler ışığında bir perspektif ortaya koymak mümkündür. Çok önemli bir veri potansiyeline sahip Patara liman koyu ancak jeoarkeoloji ve jeofizik gibi birçok disiplinin ortaklaşa çabasıyla araştırılıp aydınlatılabilecektir.The ancient city of Patara, now lying within the borders of the Antalya Province, was an important harbour city during the anceint period, and also served as the capital city of the Lycian League. The harbor around which the city was built is a wetland now. The wetland and its environs, which makes it difficult to conduct a scientific research in the area, have a very rich architectural texture. It is also like a unique repository, hiding the traces of paleoenvironmental changes that have occurred over the past thousands of years. In proportion to this difficulty, there are only a few scientific studies that have been conducted so far in this region. Nevertheless, it is possible to put it into a persepective based on previous studies and observations. Having a very important data potential, the Patara harbor bay will be illuminated only by combined efforts of many disciplines such as geoarchaeology and geophysics.No sponso

Postoperative pain intensity after using different instrumentation techniques: a randomized clinical study

Postoperative pain is a frequent complication associated with root canal treatment, especially during apical instrumentation of tooth with preexisting periradicular inflammation Objectives The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the influence of the instrumentation techniques on the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain in single-visit root canal treatment. Material and Methods Ninety patients with single root/canal and non-vital pulps were included. The patients were assigned into 3 groups according to root canal instrumentation technique used; modified step-back, reciprocal, and rotational techniques. Root canal treatment was carried out in a single visit and the severity of postoperative pain was assessed via 4-point pain intensity scale. All the participants were called through the phone at 12, 24 and 48 h to obtain the pain scores. Data were analyzed through the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results There was significant difference between all groups (

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Sudden hearing loss (SHL) is a common disease in the daily practice of ear-nose-throat (ENT) and audiology clinics. It is usually defined as a sensorineural type hearing loss of 30 dB or greater in three contiguous frequencies. Although several factors were suggested for the etiology of SHL, in most of the cases, no cause could be detected and they were diagnosed as idiopathic cases. Although certain specific treatments might be applied in patients with known etiology, corticosteroids are the main component in the treatment of idiopathic SHL. Many experts and centers have developed different treatment protocols with similar approaches. SHL is considered as an emergency in ENT, as it may cause a permanent loss in hair cells, if it is not treated or the treatment is not initiated at the right time. For patients, who did not or partially benefit from the initial treatment, different salvage treatment protocols had been developed. As SHL severely affects the patient’s quality of life, its diagnosis and treatment should be thoroughly deliberated

Doğu Akdeniz bölgesindeki aerosollerin iklimsel önemi

TÜBİTAK ÇAYDAG01.06.2009The current study considers the spatial and temporal variability in aerosol water soluble ions (Na+ , NH4 + , K+ , Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl- , NO3 - , SO4 2-, C2O4 2 ) concentrations and aerosol optical measurements in the eastern Mediterranean, utilizing an extensive data library collected in 2003 at two stations along the Turkish (Erdemli) and Cretan (Finokalia) coastline. In addition, aerosol samples were collected aboard the research vessel’s BILIM II cruising the eastern Mediterranean, Aegean Sea, the Sea of Marmara and Black Sea during two periods in March-May 2008 (Cruise I) and September-October 2008 (Cruise II). During Cruise II aerosol sampling was performed both on board and at the Erdemli station simultaneously. The ionic concentrations of aerosols collected in 2003 at both stations indicated that the seasonal variability were related to precipitation events. The atmospheric concentrations of measured species (except those of marine origin) decreases to minimum values during winter, whereas, during dry summer months the lack of precipitation resulted in their accumulation in the atmosphere. During the transition periods, although there was still precipitation, crustal ions exhibited sporadic but intense concentration peaks due to the intrusion of dust from the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula. Ground based aerosol optical measurements were conducted within framework of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET)I program both at Erdemli and Finokolia. The measurements were used to identify and define predominant regional aerosol optical properties. A relationship between aerosol sulfate (nss-SO4 -2) and aerosol optical thickness (AOT440) at both stations denoted that sulfate particles are the main components of the optical thickness derived at 440 nm. Geometric mean concentrations of PM10, aerosol water soluble ions and elemental compositions determined in samples collected on board are at similar level with the concentrations reported for the coastal stations of Erdemli and Finokalia. High concentrations of aerosols (especially for crustal elements) collected during Cruise I relative to Cruise II corresponded to incursions of Saharan dust. The relative contribution of mineral dust, sea salt, ionic mass, organic and black carbon on PM10 mass concentrations was calculated and compared with Finokalia data

Rus Savaş Uçağının Düşürülmesi İle İlgili Yayınlanan Haberlerde Söylem Ve İdeoloji

Çok eskiye dayanan Türkiye-Rusya ilişkileri zaman zaman kesintiye uğramış olsa da bu iki ülke uzun süreli bir iş birliğini arzu etmiştir. Ancak son dönemlerde yaşanan bazı olaylar Türk-Rus ilişkilerinin iyice gerilmesine sebep olmuştur. Önce 22 Haziran 2012’de Türkiye’ye ait bir F-4 uçağının Suriye tarafından düşürülmesi ilişkileri yaralamış, daha sonra ise 24 Kasım 2015’te Rusya’ya ait SU-24 uçağının Türkiye tarafından düşürülmesi iki ülke arasındaki bağları tamamen koparmıştı. Bu olayların ardından her iki ülkede hem siyasi hem de toplumsal anlamda önemli gelişmeler yaşanmış, mikro ve makro düzeyde birtakım kararlar alınmıştı. Alınan kararlara ilişkin siyasal ve toplumsal tepkinin yansımasını ise her iki ülke basınında görmek mümkündü. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Rus SU-24 uçağının Türkiye tarafından düşürülmesiyle ilgili haberlerin; Rus ve Türk ulusal basınında ne şekilde yer aldığını ya da olayı nasıl bir çerçeveye oturttuklarını belirlemeye çalışmaktır. Çalışmada, haber söyleminin kurulmasında habercilerin nasıl bir dil kullandıklarının çözümlenmesi yapılmaya çalışılmıştır
