Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Aggression on Boxers

Emotional Quotient is defined as the ability to perceive, use, manage and understand the emotions, which is associated with the better psychological adjustment. Analyzing studies in the literature, an inverse relationship was observed between emotional quotient and aggressive behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is examining the relationship between emotional quotient and aggression on boxers. This study is important for the boxers. That is why emotion management has a great role for the success in the ring. Boxing sport is based on the technical implementation. During the game boxer must control the emotions, which push him to the aggression. If emotions are not able to control during the game, anger and aggression will prevent the success. The findings of this study will demonstrate the relationship between the sports environment and emotional intelligence, in particular inferences to be made about the boxer. The sample of their search consists of 200 boxers who do sports in the districts of Eskişehir, Zonguldak, Bolu, Bursa, Ankara, Sakarya, Gaziantep and Antalya in Turkey. In this study, variation of demographic characteristics are determined Personal Information form, Bar-on Emotional Quotient Scale to determine the emotional quotient [Bar-On 1997; Acar, 2001], and Aggression Inventory were used which was developed by Kocatürk [Kocatürk, 1982]. The relationship between emotional quotient and aggression were analyzed Pearson product moment correlation coefficients. The function of emotional intelligence explanation for aggression was tested by stepwise multiple regression analysis. According to findings of the research have meaningful negative relationship between aggression and all dimensions of the emotional quotient. In addition, coping with stress and interpersonal relationships significant size aggression scores (R2 = .26, F (2,197) = 34,252, p <.001) were found to explain. As a result, boxer aggression in terms of emotional intelligence can be expressed as a factor

Bi-2223 Süperiletken Seramiklerde Peletizasyon Basıncının Yapısal, Elektriksel ve Mekanik Özellikler Üzerine Etkisi

Bu çalışmada Bi-2223 tozlar farklı peletizasyon basınç değerleri ile külçe formuna getirilmiş ardından külçeler 840ºC’de 36 saat tavlanmıştır. Basıncın Bi-2223 külçelerin yapısal, mekanik ve elektriksel özellikleri üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Yapısal analizlerin değerlendirilmesi için X-ışını Kırınımı (XRD) spektroskopisi ölçümleri kullanılmıştır. Mekanik analizler için oda sıcaklığında Vickers Mikrosertlik ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Elektriksel analizlerde ise dört kontak I-V ölçümleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Bi-2223 kristal faz yoğunluğunun, sertlik değerinin ve elektrik taşıma kapasitesinin basınca ciddi bir şekilde bağlı olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda, basıncın artması ile sertlik değerlerinin kristal yapıdaki faz geçişlerine ve yüzey artık basınç gerilim bölgelerinin artışına bağlı olarak yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, hesaplanan elastisite modülü ve akma dayanımı gibi genel mekanik performans değerlerinin basınca bağlı olarak arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bulgu kristal yapıda hali hazırda var olan kovalent ve özellikle iyonik bağ kuvvetlerinin artmasının sonucu olabilir. Bununla birlikte, numunelerin plato limit bölgelerinde yükten bağımsız mikrosertlik değerleri Meyer yasası, Orantılı Numune Direnç (OND) ve Indentation Induced Cracking (IIC) yöntemleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda IIC modelin gerçek mikrosertlik değerlerini incelemede daha başarılı olduğu bulunmuştur. Kritik akımın uygulanan basıncın artması ile düştüğü gözlemlenmiştir. Örneklerin yoğunlukları Arşimet yasası kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Teknolojik kullanım alanına bağlı olarak külçe Bi-2223 örneklerin üretiminde uygulanması gereken optimum basınç değeri detaylarıyla tartışılmıştır

A new method for fast chitin extraction from shells of crab, crayfish and shrimp

WOS: 000356373900015PubMed: 25835041A new method for quick chitin isolation from the shells of crab, crayfish and shrimp is described. The main difference between the new method and the conventional method is two sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) treatments for 10min each before the processes of demineralisation and deproteinisation. After the NaClO treatment, only 15min is adequate for the demineralisation and 20min for the deproteinisation processes. Newly extracted chitin from crab, crayfish and shrimp shells and commercial chitin were characterised using FT-IR, TGA, X-ray diffractometry and elemental analysis. From the results, it was observed that the chitins isolated with the new method and the commercial chitin had almost the same physicochemical properties. The advantage of the new method compared to traditional methods is the relatively rapid chitin extraction. When compared to the traditional chitin extraction method, the proposed method appears to be promising regarding its time and energy saving nature

Antibiotic activities of actinomycete species ısolated from soil and air

Havadan ve topraktan izole edilen Actinomycete türlerinin antimikrobiyal aktivitesinin . belirlenmesinin amaçlandığı araştırmamızda, 83 Actinomycete türü ile çalışılmıştır. Topraktan izole edilen 24, havadan izole edilen 5 Actinomycète türünün antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğu ve bunlardan 5 izolatının en geniş antimikrobiyal spekturumu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Farklı besin maddeleri içeren 4 besiyerinde fermentasyon işlemine tabi tutulan izolatlardan ekstraksiyon işlemi ile antimikrobiyal madde elde edilmiştir. En fazla antimikrobiyal etkinlik besiyeri B’de üremiş olan izolatlardan sağlanmıştır. Antimikrobiyal duyarlılık deneyinde Kirby Bauer disk difüzyon yöntemi kullanılmıştır ve 12 bakteri ile 3 mayaya karşı etkinlik belirlenmiştir. Actinomycete izolatlarının %35’inin çeşitli bakteri ve mayalara karşı etkin olduğu saptanmıştır.The antimicrobial activities of Actinomycete species 83 isolated from soil and air were determined. Antibiotic activities of 24 Actinomycète species isolated from soil and 5 Actinomycète species isolated from air showed antibiotic activity and 5 of the isolates was observed to have the widest spectrum. The antimicrobials were obtained by extraction from four different media. Isolates that were obtained from 4B’ medium had the widest antimicrobial activity. Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and their antimicrobial activity were determined against 12 bacteria and 3 yeasts. According to the results, Actinomycete isolates were found to be active against 35% of various bacteria and yeasts examined

Differentiation of Tuberculous Peritonitis from Peritonitis Carcinomatosa without Surgical Intervention

Background/Aim: Ascites of tuberculous peritonitis (TBP) is an exudative type and may well be misdiagnosed as carcinomatous peritonitis, especially in the elderly. The aim of this study was to identify independent predictors that can differentiate TBP from peritonitis carcinomatosa without surgical intervention. Patients and Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed on 75 subjects in the following groups: TBP (n=27) (TBP group), ovarian cancer complicated with ascites (n=24) (Ov Ca group), and gastric cancer complicated with ascites (n=24) (Ga Ca group). The frequency of clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, and serum tumor markers levels were compared. Results: In univariate analysis; fever, night sweats, and abdominal pain were significantly more frequent in the TBP group compared to those in the Ov Ca group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.035, respectively) and the Ga Ca group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.015, respectively). Serum CA 19-9 and carcino embryonic antigen (CEA) levels were significantly lower in the TBP and Ov Ca group compared to the Ga Ca group (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Elevated serum CA 125 level was found in all patients with TBP and Ov Ca and in 86.6% of patients with Ga Ca. In the multivariate analysis, presence of fever (P < 0.001), night sweats (P < 0.001), age under 40 years (P = 0.008), and normal serum CA 19-9 level (P = 0.044) were independent predictor of diagnosis of TBP. Conclusion: The presence of fever, elevated serum CA 125 level, normal serum CA 19-9, and CEA associated with lymphocyte predominant benign ascites may establish the diagnosis of TBP
