As a result, it has been determined that gender does not affect aggression and problem-solving skills in secondary education students. While it was observed that doing sports did not affect aggression in secondary education students, it was found that the thinking approach in problem-solving skills did not affect the other sub-dimensions. Further development of students' problem-solving skills at the secondary level is recommended. Article visualizations

THE SURVEY RESULTS OF PEER VICTIMIZATION IN TEKIRDAĞ AND THE EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS

Okullar sosyalleşme sürecinin en önemli aktörlerinden biridir. Bu süreçte ortaya çıkan sosyolojik olgulardan biri de akran zorbalığıdır. Akran zorbalığı okullarda yaşanan şiddet sorununun bir boyutu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Zorbalık saldırgan bir davranış biçimidir. “Bir ya da daha fazla öğrencinin bir başka öğrenciye karşı sürekli olarak olumsuz eylemlerde bulunması” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Zorba bu davranışı gerçekleştiren, kurban ise bu davranışa muhatap olan kişidir. Bu çalışma Tekirdağ ilinde anket yöntemini kullanarak akran zorbalığını ölçümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Akran Zorbalığı Anketi uygulanmasında sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel kriterler dikkate alınarak Tekirdağ merkezinin genelini tanımlayacak okullar seçilmiştir. Yapılan anket çalışmasında toplam 650 öğrenci ile görüşülmüştür. Bu öğrencilerin cinsiyet dağılımı % 49.8 erkek, %50.2 kız öğrenci şeklindedir. Bu araştırma ile zorbalığa uğrayıp uğramama durumu, zorbalık türlerine nerelerde uğranıldığı, öğrencilerin hangi sebeple zorbalığa uğradığı, zorbalığa uğradıktan sonra neler hissettiği, zorbalığa uğradığında neler yaptığı, kimlerin zorbalık yaptığı, öğrencilerin zorbalığa uğradığında kimlere söylediği, zorbalığa uğradığında onunla kimlerin ilgilendiği, zorbalığı uygulayıp uygulamama durumu, zorbalık uyguladıktan sonra neler hissettiği, herhangi bir zorbalığa şahit olduğunda neler yaptığı, öğrencilerin bazılarına zorbalık uygulama şeklindeki sorulara cevap aranmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda zorbalığa maruz kalanların oranı % 44 olarak bulunmuştur. Türkiye genelinde akran zorbalığı ile ilgili olarak yapılan araştırmalarda kurban oranı % 26-40'dır. Tekirdağ’da ortaya çıkan bu sonuç Türkiye ortalamasının üzerindedir. Bu da Tekirdağ açısından önemli bir sosyolojik soruna işaret etmektedir.Schools are one of the most important actors of socialization process. One of the sociological facts which exist in this process is peer victimization. Peer victimization appears as a part of bullying at school. Victimization is a sort of aggressive behaviour. It is defined as “one or more students’ negative actions towards another student permanently.” Bully is the person who commits this behaviour, and victim is the person who is exposed to the mistreatment. In the district of Tekirdağ, peer victimization is researched and surveyed. While conducting the research, some social, economic and cultural criteria are considered, and schools that represent Tekirdağ city centre are chosen, where some. 650 students are interviewed, among whom 49,8% are boys and 50,2% are girls. Owing to this research, the following matters are questioned: the situation of victimization; the place of peer victimization; how victims feel after being subjected to the bully; how they react again stubbly; whom they confide to talk about the bully; who are the bullies; if the victim himself/herself impose mistreatment to other people, and how; if he/she witnesses peer victimization, what does the person do. According to the survey carried out, the percentage of peer victimization in Tekirdağ is 44%, but the average percentage of bully overall in Turkey is 26-40%. The results show that the percentage of peer victimization in Tekirdağ is higher than the average percentage in Turkey. This result points of a very significant sociological problem in Tekirdağ

In addition to these results, prospective teachers said that designing and implementing activities takes too much time when activity is practiced in classroom

Assessment of plasma and tissue fibronectin EIIIB splice variant expressions measured serially using RT-PCR in a wound model of rabbits

Background: Fibronectin (FN) is an indispensable part of the extracellular matrix. During regeneration or wound healing, the plasma form of FN is incorporated into the fibrin clots to form a temporary fibrin-FN matrix, and also locally synthesized cellular FN migrates to the clot to regenerate the injured tissue. We aimed to examine wound tissue FN EIIIB and plasma FN EIIIB expression levels in an experimental wound healing model in rabbits. Methods: Plasma and tissue EIIIB splice variant expressions were measured serially with RT-qPCR in a cutaneous wound model of rabbits. Results: Tissue FN expression increased as beginning on day 3 and continued to increase on days 6 and 9, reaching maximum expression at day 12 before starting to decrease. On the contrary to the tissue levels, plasma FN levels gradually decreased until day 15 when expression returned to the initial values. Conclusion: The findings of the current study support that tissue EIIIB expression level increases during wound healing; and plasma EIIIB expression level decreases minimal changed. This is in contrast to reports where plasma FN provisionally helps ECM formation. Therefore, our data show an essential role of EIIIB at the tissue level in accelerating the wound healing process. The RT-qPCR method in our experimental setup can provide more accurate and precise results compared to the antibody-based methods
