Dr. Andrew J. A. Mango (1926-2014) - In Memoriam

One of Turkey’s greatest friends and Atatürk biographer, the polyglot Andrew Mango died at the age of 88 on 6 July 2014. He has proved that it was still possible to be a scholar -in his case of Turkish studies- and a gentleman

Does oxidative status affect serum sclerostin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Introduction: Sclerostin is a glycoprotein known as a negative regulator of bone formation, predominantly expressed by mature osteocytes. There is no causative evidence information on the role of sclerostin in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in humans. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum sclerostin levels and oxidative status and biochemical parameters in T2DM patients and healthy people. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in a clinical trial center, included 45 subjects with T2DM and 45 subjects as controls. Results: Serum sclerostin, total oxidative status (TOS), albumin, and ferritin levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in the control group (p<0.05). Total antioxidant status (TAS) was significantly higher in the control group (p<0.05). There was a weak positive correlation between sclerostin and TOS (r=0.23, p=0.03) and a weak negative correlation between sclerostin and TAS (r=-0.28, p=0.03). Conclusions: We have demonstrated that serum sclerostin levels increase in patients with T2DM and that the increased sclerostin levels are associated with oxidative stress

Littérature, courants et politique dans les années 1960 et 1970 en Turquie

Cette thèse examine la visibilité croissante de l'activité littéraire comme étant un des éléments majeurs de la scène culturelle en Turquie, entre les années 1960 et 1980. Dans cette thèse, on soutient qu'au cours de ces décennies, il s'est produit une recrudescence de la visibilité ainsi que de l'influence de l'activité littéraire sur le monde culturel et la société turque. Mon travail vise également à déterminer les relations complexes qui peuvent exister entre la culture littéraire et la politique. Il convient de souligner que l'identité politique ayant été adoptée par les acteurs littéraires, était généralement une identité dissidente envers le système politique et social de son époque. J'ai tenté d'analyser le climat intellectuel par le biais de la littérature. De plus, ma réflexion se pose sur les raisons de l'importance du rôle des personnalités littéraires comme intellectuels dans la société turque de 1960 à 1980.This dissertation examines the increasing visibility of literary activities as a part of the other cultural activities between 1960 and 1980. During these two decades, there was an increasing influence of literary activities, literary production, and literary world throughout the larger parts of the Turkish society. This work also assesses the intricate relations between literary culture and politics. lt will be emphasized that the political identity which was adopted by the literary actors was generally one critical of the existing political and social system. The intellectual climate will be examined via literature. I argue that men of letters, literary actors played important roles with academies and journalists through their public, intellectual identity in the social life from 1960 to the end of the 1970s.STRASBOURG-Bib.electronique 064 (674829903) / SudocSudocFranceF
