Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi 2001-2002 ders yılı genel cerrahi stajyerlerinin yabancı dil bilme düzeyi

Foreign language (English) proficiency was questioned in a randomized group of students who attended general surgery clerckship during the 2001-2002 educational year. 80 % of the students stated that they either did not know English or had insufficient knowledge. The overwhelming majority of the students fluent in English were those who studied this language since early teenages. There was no correlation between linguistic fluency and medical school success (x2=0,018, p=0.693). These results contradict with the policy of adding a whole year for teaching English during medical education.2001-2002 yılında genel cerrahi stajı yapan öğrenciler arasında rastgeleleştirilmiş bir ömeklemde ingilizce dil egemenliği sorgulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin % 80'i İngilizce'yi hiç bilmediklerini ya da yetersiz bildiklerini belirtmiştir. İyi ingilizce bilenlerin tüme yakını Anadolu Lisesi çıkışlıdır. İngilizce'ye egemenlik düzeyi ile okul başarısı arasında ilişki bulunmamıştır (x2=0.018, p=0.693). Bu sonuçlar, bugünkü haliyle ingilizce hazırlık sınıfı uygulamasının etkin öğrenci soyutlaması çerçevesindeki nesnel temelini çürütmektedir

Türkiye'nin liberalleşme sürecinde spor basınının ekonomi politiği ve üç büyük futbol kulübüne yönelik haberler özelinde spor haberciliği

Spor, insanların sadece sağlık amacıyla yaptığı bir aktivite değil, insanoğlunun modernleşmeye adım attığı ilk yıllardan günümüze, çok önemli bir sosyalleşme aracı olmuştur. Günümüzde, özellikle liberalizmin hakim olduğu, serbest piyasa ekonomisine sahip ülkelerde spor, kitle iletişim araçları yardımıyla küreselleşmeye, milyarlarca insana hitap etmeye ve ulaştığı ekonomik büyüklük sayesinde çok büyük bir endüstriye dönüşmüştür. Bu dönüşümün en büyük aktörü ise futboldur. Futbol, dünyanın büyük bölümünde en önemli ve en çok ilgi çeken spor dalı olduğu için, çalışmamızda daha çok futbolun ekonomisi ve futbol kulüpleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Spor medyası, sporun var ettiği, gittikçe önem kazanan bir gazetecilik alanıdır. Spor medyası, bugün tüm dünyada binlerce kişi için önemli istihdam alanlarından birisidir. Ancak spor medyası, nasıl spor sayesinde özellikle de futbol sayesinde var oluyorsa, spor da, spor medyası sayesinde tüm dünyaya ulaşmaktadır. Ülkemizde de spor medyası önemli bir mecra olduğu için ülkemiz spor medyası çeşitli araştırmalar ile birlikte detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Dünyanın büyük bir kısmında olduğu gibi ülkemizde de spor denince akla futbol gelmektedir. Ülkemiz futbolu, 3 büyük spor kulübümüz Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe ve Beşiktaş etrafında şekillendiği için, spor medyamızın mercekleri de çok büyük bir oranda bu kulüplerimiz üzerindedir. Futbolun ve 3 büyük spor kulübünün, spor medyasının ana öğesi olması çeşitli araştırmalarla ortaya koyulmuş ve Türk spor medyası - 3 büyük spor kulübü ilişkileri pek çok örnekle beraber incelenmiştir. ABSTRACT Sport is not only a healt behaviour activity, also a socializing tool since the humanity have started to modernize. In these days, especialy in liberalism dominating and free market economy countries, sports become a big industry with the help of it's economic potential. The biggest actor of this expension is football. In this study football economy and the football clubs is the main focus point due to it's popularity and importance all over the world. Sport media is an important and growing field of journalism created by sports. Sport media is also a huge employment area for thousands of people all over the world. However, the importance in that situation is, like sport media existed by the sports, especialy by football, also the sports importance is exist and grow by the sport media. Due to the importance of sport media in Turkey, Turkey is also examined by using previous researches. Likewise the rest of the world, when sports is mentioned, the first thing comes to our minds in our country is football. Due to our football industry is shaped by three big clubs; Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, also focus of the sport media is mostly on that clubs. This point is exposed by researches and the relation between sport media and those three big clubs are examined by examples

Relationship between the fungiform papillae number and dental caries in primary teeth: a cross-sectional study

Objectives Fungiform papillae (FP) contain numerous taste buds. A genetic susceptibility between tasting via FP and caries risk has been suggested. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between FP number and dental caries and to determine whether FP number may be considered as a test for caries risk. Materials and methods The study included 157 children who attended the pediatric dentistry department at a public university. Questionnaires, including the children's medical health, oral health knowledge, fluoride exposure, and taste preferences, were filled in by their parents. The FP number on the dorsal surface of the tongue was counted according to the Denver Papilla Protocol. Caries was recorded using deft/DMFT indices. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. Results The FP number decreased significantly according to age (r = -0.441, p = 0.001), and the mean of the girls' FP number was significantly higher than the boys' (p = 0.022). A greater number of FP was associated with increased deft score (p = 0.02, odds ratio [OR] = 1.164). Conclusion The caries risk increased in children who had more FP (FP > 30); therefore, FP number could be evaluated in terms of caries risk. FP number could be evaluated as a risk factor for determining dental caries since the risk of caries increased after a FP cut-off point of 29 was achieved

A randomized clinical trial of hyaluronic acid gel pulpotomy in primary molars with 1 year follow-up

Objective This randomized clinical study aimed to evaluate the success of hyaluronic acid (HA) as a pulpotomy medicament of human primary molars and to compare it with formocresol (FC) and ferric sulphate (FS) pulpotomy treatments up to 12 months. Materials and methods The study was conducted with 130 primary molars of 44 children. The ethical approval and registration to clinical trials (No: NCT04115358) were completed. After the removal of all the coronal pulp tissue, a 0.5% HA gel, or a FC, or a 20% FS solution were applied randomly to the radicular pulp tissues of the primary molars. Then, the pulp chambers were filled with a zinc oxide eugenol cement and restored either with a composite filling material or with a stainless-steel crown. The treatment success rates of the 3 groups were followed and compared clinically and radiographically at 1st-, 3rd-, 6th- and 12th-months. Results Primary molars treated with FC, FS and HA dressings were clinically successful 77.5%, 86.8% and 87.5% respectively after 12th-month follow-up (p > .05). Radiographic successes of FC, FS and HA groups were lower than clinical successes (57.6%, 68.8%, 57.9% respectively at the 12th-month) but the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p > .05). Equivalence analysis assuming not more than 10% difference between the materials suggested that HA was not inferior to FC or FS. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, our randomized clinical trial shows that HA is a promising pulpotomy medicament in primary molars. However, further studies are justified to further improve the HA material success

Canal length evaluation of curved canals by direct digital or conventional radiography

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of a digital radiograph imaging system (DDR) with conventional radiography for the purpose of estimating endodontic file lengths in curved canals of mandibular molars. Study design. Sixty extracted human mandibular molars with root curvatures ranging from 5degrees to 52degrees were mounted in plastic blocks. Canal length was estimated by using on-screen DDR with both 2- and 3-click measurement and from conventional E-speed radiographs by using a millimeter ruler and x2 magnification. Two operators familiar with both radiographic methods performed the estimates. Results. One-way analysis of variance and Newman-Keuls tests revealed no significant differences between the groups. Although both conventional and DDR methods of analysis overestimated the true canal length, the DDR accuracy improved as the curvature severity increased. Conclusions. The image quality of DDR systems has improved to the point that they can now be used for estimating canal lengths, even for curved canals, with accuracy comparable to that of conventional radiographs. However, further work remains to be done to optimize image quality
