Systematic ICT Integration Model for Hearing Impaired Youths

The panelists, each one of them are the faculty at the School for the Handicapped, the only higher education institution for hearing impaired students in Turkey, will describe and present the findings of their ongoing “action research” project based on the “Systematic ICT Integration Model” which essentially provides an easy-to-follow structure and most importantly requires teacher-designers to explicitly justify why the technology is used, and how to effectively incorporate the technology

Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia Detected After Traumatic Delivery: Case Report

Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT), a complication of maternal alloimmunization against fetal platelets, is the result of immune destruction of platelets due to maternal antibodies in the early period. The cause of thrombocytopenia here is by antibodies developed against human platelet antigens frequently inherited from the mother. The clinical manifestations of NAIT extend from asymptomatic to severe bleeding. Platelet suspension can be used in the setting of severe thrombocytopenia or life-threatening bleeding. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy is another treatment option. A case who had no clinical finding except diffuse ecchymoses after traumatic delivery, but was considered to have NAIT due to severe thrombocytopenia and was successfully treated with platelet suspension and IVIG is presented

Adli diş hekimliğindeki cinsiyet ayrımında maksiller sinüs boyutlarının rolü: Konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi çalışması

Amaç: Adli diş hekimliği uygulamalarında cinsiyet ayrımı yapmak önemli bir uygulamadır. Çalışmamızda maksiller sinüsün (MS) boyutlarının, cinsiyet ayrımı yapmada nasıl bir role sahip olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda 14 erkek ve 14 kadın hastanın maksiller sinüs (MS) yüksekliği, genişliği, uzunluğu, hacmi ve yüzey alanı konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) ile ölçülmüştür. Bahsedilen boyutların adli diş hekimliği uygulamalarında kullanılabilmesi için, cinsiyete göre farklılık gösterip göstermediği değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca hastaların yaşı ve maksiller sinüs (MS) boyutları arasındaki korelasyona bakılmıştır. İstatiksel analiz için Student’s t testi ve Pearson r korelasyonu kullanılmıştır. Tek hakem güvenilirliğini ölçmek için rastgele seçilen 3 hastanın MS boyutları 2 aylık periyotlarla 2 kez ölçülmüştür ve intra class correlation (ICC) katsayısı hesaplanmıştır.Bulgular: Kadın ve erkek hastalar arasındaki maksiller sinüs (MS) boyutları karşılaştırıldığında; MS uzunluk, yükseklik, hacim ve yüzey alanı değerlerinde cinsiyete göre anlamlı fark oluşmadığı görülmüştür (p>0.05). Ancak, sol (p=0.019) ve sağ (p=0.013) MS genişlik değerlerinde, sırasıyla kadınlarda ortalama 5.42 mm ve 5.96 mm fazla olacak şekilde, cinsiyete göre anlamlı fark oluştuğu gözlenmiştir. MS boyutları ve yaş arasındaki korelasyon incelendiğinde; yaş ile sağ MS uzunluk (r= 0.328, p= 0.088) ve sol MS uzunluk (r= 0.304, p= 0.116) arasında pozitif zayıf ilişkinin bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır. Tekrarlayan ölçümler arasında iyi güvenilirlik (ICC> 0.876) gözlenmiştir.Sonuç: Adli diş hekimliği uygulamalarında hem sağ hem de sol MS genişliği cinsiyet ayrımında araç olarak kullanılabilir.ANAHTAR KELİMELER Adli diş hekimliği, konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi, maksiller sinü

The Relationship of Mental Toughness and Emotional Eating: The Example of a Female Wrestler

Emotional eating is the act of eating to cope with stress and pressure, and it is assumed that this behavior increases as the level of self-control decreases. Several factors, including anxiety about winning and fear of injury, can cause stress in athletes. An athlete’s high mental toughness is closely related to their ability to easily cope with such stress factors. It is still a matter of curiosity how negative psychological factors affect emotional eating in athletes with low mental toughness. This study investigated the relationship between emotional eating and mental toughness in female wrestlers. Emotional Eating Questionnaire and Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire were applied to 69 female wrestlers. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation tests. It was found that the participants were low emotional eaters and accepted all of the mental toughness sub-dimensions. There was a significant difference in emotional eating total score and “disinhibition" score according to nationality status (p<0.05). The findings suggested a positive and significant relationship between sub-dimensions of emotional eating and sub-dimensions of mental toughness (p<0.05). It was concluded that national female wrestlers tended to eat more emotionally than non-national athletes and had more difficulty preventing the urge to eat. As female wrestlers’ mental toughness levels increased, they tended to eat emotionally and felt guilty about eating

Kuzey Amerika ve Türkiye’de Tarımsal İş Hukuku

İşgücü kavramı, kişilerin veya tüzel kişiliklerin ekonomik faaliyetleri ile birlikte ortaya çıkmıştır. Bir malın veya hizmetin üretimi karşılıklı iş ilişkisine bağlı olarak yürütülmektedir. Özellikle sanayi devrimi sonucunda ortaya çıkan işçi sınıfı ile birlikte işçilerin ve işverenlerin hak ile yükümlülükleri konusunda hukuki kurallara ihtiyaç duyulmaya başlanmıştır. Temelde sanayi ağırlıklı olan bu hukuki düzenlemeler tarım sektörünü çoğunlukla kapsam dışı bırakmıştır. Tarım işletmelerinin aile işgücüne dayalı bir yapısı olduğu için, dışarıdan mal ve hizmet alımı konusunda iş sözleşmesi düzenlenmesi diğer sektörlere oranla daha azdır. Tarım sektöründe kurumsallaşmanın yaygın olmaması, tarım işçisi sınıfının olmaması, kendi hesabına çalışan aile işletmelerinin yoğun olması, gibi nedenler gelişmekte olan Türkiye gibi ülkelerde tarımsal iş hukukunun sadece iş hukukunun bir yan dalı olarak kalmasına yol açmıştır. Çalışmaya konu olan Kuzey Amerika ülkelerinde, özellikle Amerika ve Kanada’da, tarımsal iş hukuku yasal sistem içerisinde özel bir hukuk dalı olarak yer almaktadır. Amerika ve Kanada federal bir yönetim sistemi ile yönetilmekte olup, her eyaletin genel yasal çerçeve yanında özel düzenlemeleri de bulunmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, Kuzey Amerika ülkelerinden Amerika ve Kanada’da tarımsal iş hukuku konusunda gelişmelerle Türkiye’yi karşılaştırmaktır. Bu kapsamda Amerika ve Kanada’da tarımsal ücretler, mevsimlik ve göçmen işçiler, çocuk işçi ile sosyal güvence ve iş sağlığı konularındaki yasal düzenlemeler incelenmiş ve Türkiye’nin mevcut yasal mevzuatı ile birlikte değerlendirilmiştir

The therapeutic potential of amifostine on cyclophosphamide-induced testicular dysfunction in rats: An experimental study

Background: Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a well-known alkylating anticancer agent used in the treatment of various malignant and non-malignant tumors. CP may also cause a variety of adverse effects, including reproductive toxicity. Amifostine is known as a cytoprotective drug having antioxidant properties. Objective: To evaluate the possible beneficial effects of amifostine on testicular toxicity induced by CP in rats. Materials and Methods: A total of 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this experimental study. The CP group animals received a single dose of 200 mg/kg CP on Day 8 by intraperitoneal injection and were left untreated for the following seven days. The two remaining groups of animals were treated with 200 mg/kg/day amifostine (AMF 200) and 400 mg/kg/day amifostine (AMF 400) for seven days prior to and following a single intraperitoneal injection of CP. Morphometrical analysis and histological examination of testicular tissue were performed. Serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone levels were measured in serum using commercial ELISA kits. The epidydimal sperm count was determined. Results: The tubular epithelial height in the testis was significantly higher in the AMF400 group compared to other groups (p < 0.001). Animals in the AMF400 group showed minimal debris in the tubules, no Sertoli cell damage, and the Johnsen scores were slightly higher in the AMF400 group. The epididymal sperm count was significantly lower in the CP-administered animals compared to the control animals and was significantly higher in the AMF200 and AMF400 groups compared to the CP group (p = 0.006, and p = 0.019 respectively). Conclusion: Amifostine, at a dose of 400 mg/kg, may have a protective effect on testicular damage induced by CP in rats

Altered right portal and umbilical vein doppler parameters in fetal macrosomia resulting from pregestational and gestational diabetic mothers: A prospective case-control study

Objective: To evaluate the blood flow of the umbilical vein and right portal vein in macrosomic fetuses of diabetic mothers and investigate the effect of maternal insulin treatment on these blood flows.Material and Methods: This prospective case-control study was con- ducted between March 2019 and December 2019. Fetuses of the 49 pregestational and gestational diabetic mothers who had an abdominal cir- cumference percentile above 97% were evaluated as macrosomic and formed the study group. The study group was divided into two subgroups: patients treated with insulin and those who did not. In the control group, 48 non-diabetic pregnant women with matched gestatio nal weeks whose fetuses are at the 10-90% percentile were included. Time-averaged maximum blood velocity (TAMXV) values of the right portal vein and the free loop of the umbilical vein were measured.Results: The median right portal vein TAMXV value and umbilical vein TAMXV value were found to be significantly higher in diabetic pregnancies (16.25 cm/s, and 15.28 cm/s, respectively) than in the control group (12.76 cm/s, and 13.38 cm/s, respectively, p<0.001). Umbilical and right portal vein flows were similar in macrosomic fetuses of diabetic mothers who were treated with insulin or those who did not. While umbilical vein flow in macrosomic fetuses increased as the gestational age pro gressed (p=0.028), it was observed steadily in normally growing fetuses. Conclusion: The umbilical and right portal vein flows are higher in macro- somic fetuses of diabetic mothers than in appropriately grown fetuses. Maternal insulin treatment does not affect fetal umbilic al vein and right portal vein blood flow in macrosomic fetuses

Feelings of guilt, shame, and forgiveness of the detainees and convicts in a psychiatric prisoner’s service

Introduction: In the present study, the purpose was to examine whether there is a difference in the feelings of guilt, shame, and forgiveness in prisoners who committed one or more crimes. Also, the relationship between the number of crimes involved, the diagnosis of existing or past psychiatric diseases, and demographic data was examined. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 107 inpatients in the prisoner’s ward. The demographic data forms Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Guilt and Shame Scale (GSS), and Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) were administered in the study. Results: A total of 107 people (51 people involved in one single crime and 56 people involved in more than one crime) were included in the study. The education level was lower in many crimes than in a single crime (p=0.032). Although the diagnosis of mood disorder was higher in the group that was involved in one single crime (36.6%), the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder was higher in the group that was involved in multiple crimes (41.9%). No differences were detected between the groups in terms of BAI (p = 0.903) and BDI (p = 0.557) scores. No differences were detected between the groups in terms of GSS (guilt and shame) and HFS scores (p values of 0.745 and 0.676, respectively). A positive correlation was detected between the BDI and BAI of all prisoners and the HFS-forgiveness subscale. A positive correlation was detected between the GSS-guilt and shame subscales and all subscales and the total score of HFS. Conclusion: The study showed that anxiety and depression are more common in individuals who were exposed to violence in childhood. It was considered that identifying the prisoners who were involved in the crime for the first time and who felt remorseful and guilty could prevent further crimes. Finally, it is considered that the rate of crime can be reduced by preventing childhood violence and providing psychiatric support to individuals with psychiatric symptoms in order to raise individuals who are mentally healthy and have a low tendency to harm
