Türk kolon ve rektum cerrahisi derneği (TKRCD) terminoloji komisyonu çalışma raporu

This study aimed to explain the working order of the Terminology Commission, which was established at the workshop of the Turkish Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery (TKRCD) on February 22, 2020, the criteria and results in the preparation of the terminology report. The commission prepared a work plan to complete in three main steps. The working process continued in a way that the members expressed their opinions with equal rights and the decisions were taken by consensus or by majority vote. The main purpose of the commission study was determined as “determining the terms that need to be explained and agreed in colorectal surgery, and to define them in a way that is compatible with the literature and contributes to daily practice”. The first meeting of the commission was held on February 22, 2020, and the report was accepted by the TKRCD Board of Directors on May 25, 2021. A total of 20 meetings were held during this period. In the first step, five headings were determined for writing the terms: Anatomy, symptoms and diagnostic tools, diseases, treatments and complications. There was a consensus that the terms met the following three conditions: 1) the need for explanation and consensus in colorectal surgery, 2) literature support, and 3) use in daily practice. The terms were written in the following format: Terms and synonyms, English equivalents, definition, explanation and bibliography. In the second step, each commissioner wrote an average of 10.8±4.3 terms. The distribution of 89 terms in the final report was as follows: Anatomy (n=26, 29.2%), symptoms and diagnostic tools (n=8, 8.9%), diseases (n=20, 22.4%), treatments (n=28, 31.4%), and complications (n=7, 7.8%). Figures (n=7), all from the archives of the commission members, and figures drawn by a new commission member (n=53) were also added to the report. In the third step, the report was submitted to the TKRCD Management with the approval of the TKRCD President. The preparation process of the Terminology Commission report of TKRCD was presented. The final report is open to changes and expansions with future studies.Bu çalışma Türk Kolon ve Rektum Cerrahisi Derneği’nin (TKRCD) 22 Şubat 2020 tarihinde yaptığı çalıştayda kurulan Terminoloji Komisyonu’nun çalışma düzenini, terminoloji raporunun hazırlanmasındaki kriterleri ve sonuçlarını açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır.

Timing for Functional Treatment of Class II Division 1 Malocclusion

In the present study, the effects of Class II activator on dentofacial structures were evaluated considering three pubertal growth periods, to ascertain the most favorable treatment timing. Pre and post-treatment lateral cephalometric and hand wrist films, which were obtained from 36 individuals (1 st group: 12 pre-pubertal, 2 nd group: 12 pubertal and 3 rd group: 12 post-pubertal) having Class II, division 1 malocclusion were selected from the orthodontic department archive. Grouping was done considering growth periods according to hand wrist maturation criteria. All the treatments were managed by using conventional type Class II activator. Comparison of skeletal and dentoalveolar responses achieved with treatment between the groups were evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey tests. Similar reduction was observed in the ANB angle among the groups. Increases in GoGn/SN angle (p<0.05) and in posterior lower alveolar height (mean 2.3 mm) were found in the pubertal group. The largest overjet (mean , −7.2 mm) and upper incisor tip (UIT) (mean ,−12.1°) reductions were obtained in the pubertal group which was significantly different from the other groups (p<0.01 and p<0.5, respectively). An increase in mandibular length (Co-Pg) was observed in each group and pubertal group showed the highest increase in the mandibular length (mean, 4.8 mm). As a result, it can be suggested that considering differential effects of functional treatment on dentofacial structures, the most appropriate treatment time for functional treatment is the maximum pubertal growth period

A mathematical model and solution techniques for the influential selection problem

Arena;Boeing;et al.;FedEx Ground;The Ergonomics Center of North Carolina;The Hershey CompanyIIE Annual Conference and Expo 2013 -- 18 May 2013 through 22 May 2013 -- San JuanIn the era of social networks, many companies shift their marketing campaigns to this new media. Any person who influences his/her connections is called an influential. Since companies have limited budgets for advertising, they have to correctly select the influentials, which will forward their message to their connections over the online social network. In this study, the problem of selecting the best influentials regarding different objectives and constraints are modeled. The influential selection problem can be modeled similar to the famous set covering problem. We propose a binary integer programming formulation to represent the influential selection problem. We propose various different solution techniques to obtain close-to-optimal solutions and carry out experimental analysis to determine the performance of the techniques proposed

An efficient variable neighbourhood search heuristic for the influential selection problem

1st International Conference on Engineering and Applied Sciences Optimization, OPT-i 2014 -- 4 June 2014 through 6 June 2014 --A online social network consists of individuals or entities which are tied by a certain type of interdependency such as collaboration, friendship or acquaintance. Due to the wide usage of internet, many companies actively use this new media in their marketing campaigns. Given an online social network, a person that influences his/her connections is called an influential. Since companies have limited budgets for advertising, they have to correctly select the influentials, which will forward their message to their connections over various online social networks and hope that a cascade will be triggered so that a maximum number of individuals are reached. In most of the previous studies the social networks are modeled as stochastic fields where the cascading process is represented by linear threshold or independent cascade models. It is shown that determining the top-k influential nodes within the network under this setting is NP-hard and a greedy based heuristic provides a provable approximation guarantee. Following these initial efforts many researchers worked on the improvement of the efficiency of the greedy algorithm without focusing on the solution quality. In this study, the problem of selecting the best k-influentials in social netrowk is studied from the solution quality perspective and using a Variable Neighbourhood Serach(VNS) heuristic optimal solutions are sought. Experimental analysis on certain real-life data is carried out to determine the performance of the techniques proposed

Developing and Analyzing the Strategic Plan for Mado Company

5th International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies (EDULEARN) --JUL 01-03, 2013 -- Barcelona, SPAINWOS: 000346798303049#nofulltext#Turkey is a country where people's entrepreneurial characteristics are high; fifty thousand Turks in Germany established their own businesses. If there are still optimism about the Turkish Economy in spite of creeping inflation and the budget deficit that is because the private sector is competitive and thriving. Each year many new ventures appear and somewhat existing companies disappear. If we were to interview several of the casualties among vanishing businesses owners, they would probably insist on their unsuccessful efforts were due to the lack of funding or financing. They might say "we did not have enough support from the government". But the problem they may not observe is "lack of strategic planning". Strategic business plan provides a detailed orderly study of the risks and uncertainties. It explains the rationale and describes the chosen root to market entry. When you start a business in "ice-cream industry", product (or products) and environment or community would have to be concerned in the system. Products should reach and have a certain quality and acceptable cost structure level. This study benchmarks and illustrates how a company named MADO had become from "one man street selling operations to an international company". Also, MADO's success stories utilizing and implementing conglomerate expansion principles of industrial engineering will be integrated into the expansion

Pregnancy satisfaction for antenatal care

OBJECTİVE: To assess satisfaction of pregnant women for antenatal care and the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary care if there is any. STUDY DESİGN: A descriptive study was performed using a questionnaire to assess pregnancy satisfaction in 300 mothers who admitted to primary, secondary and tertiary care units in 1999. RESULTS: The mean age of 300 mothers was 26.3±5.4 years, 12.3% were illiterate, 85.0% were housewives and 72.3% had social security. Overall satisfaction rate of mothers from health care services was 66.3%. There was no significant difference between primary, secondary and tertiary care units in terms of pregnancy satisfaction (p>0.05). There was no significant difference for accessibility to health care unit and health care personnel between primary, secondary and tertiary care (p>0.05). There was significant difference in the physical conditions of the health care unit such as comfort, seats in the waiting room, design to contribute health education, overall convenience of the building (p=0.001, p=0.023, p=0.0001, p=0.031, respectively). There was significant difference in attitudes of health care personnel in kindness, intimacy, privacy, dealing with problems, competency, prescription, diet, physical exercise, and trust (p=0.005, p=0.006, p=0.028, p=0.001, p=0.018, p=0.005, p=0.048, p=0.052 and p=0.001, respectively) mostly in favour of primary and secondary care. CONCLUSION: Although there was not any significant difference between levels of care for antenatal care in terms of accessibility of either health care unit or personnel, we had higher scores in primary care which may be due to close relationship between care providers and women.OBJECTİVE: To assess satisfaction of pregnant women for antenatal care and the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary care if there is any.
