The effect of stress and burnout levels of employees on their occupational commitment during the covid-19 pandemic process: Aviation industry example: Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde çalışanların stres ve tükenmişlik düzeylerinin mesleki bağlılıklarına etkisi: Havacılık sektörü örneği
We are faced with an epidemic that has never spread to such a large area in the world. After the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected the whole world and all sectors, people's struggle for life increased, and the psychological pressures of the pandemic deeply affected everyone. People worked from their homes during the first pandemic period, but when they switched to face-to-face work, the risk factor of contracting the disease emerged.
In this context, the aim of our research is to examine the personal and institutional effects of stress, burnout syndrome due to stress, and as a result of this, their professional commitment when it comes to the situation of being in the same environment with covid-19 positive or covid-19 contacts. The research was conducted using the questionnaire technique, one of the quantitative research methods. 56 female and 70 male employees participated in the study and it was determined that there was no deficiency in the data obtained from these people and all of them were used. As a result of the studies, it has been determined that the effect of the Covid-19 process on the employees is a significant difference in terms of stress and burnout syndrome, but there is no significant difference in terms of professional commitment.
With the development of technology and the deterioration of nature, it is thought that measures will be taken to prevent the stress and burnout levels of aviation group employees from increasing by considering these and similar studies in the next epidemics or large-scale crisis situations.

Özet
Dünya üzerinde hiç bu kadar büyük alana yayılmamış olan bir salgınla karşı karşıya kalmış bulunmaktayız. Tüm dünyanın ve tüm sektörlerin etkilendiği Covid-19 pandemisi sonrası insanların hayat mücadelesi daha da artmış, pandeminin psikolojik baskıları herkesi derinden etkilemiştir. İnsanlar ilk pandemi döneminde evlerinden çalışmış ancak sonra yüz yüze çalışmaya geçildiğinde hastalığa yakalanma riski faktörü ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda araştırmamızın amacı havacılık grubu çalışanlarının, covid-19 pozitif ya da covid-19 temaslı olan kişilerle aynı ortamda bulunma durumu söz konusu olduğunda stres, strese bağlı olarak tükenmişlik sendromu ve bunların sonucunda mesleki bağlılıkları ile ilgili kişisel ve kurumsal etkilerini inceleyerek çalışma yapılmasıdır. Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden anket tekniği kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya 56 kadın ve 70 erkek çalışan katılmış olup bu kişilerden elde edilen verilerde eksiklik olmadığı saptanmış ve tamamı kullanılmıştır. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda Covid-19 sürecinin çalışanlara etkisinin stres ve tükenmişlik sendromu açısından bakıldığında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, mesleki bağlılık anlamda bakıldığında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı saptanmıştır.
Teknolojinin gelişmesiyle ve doğanın bozulmasıyla beraber gelebilecek olan sonraki salgınlarda ya da büyük çaplı kriz durumlarında bu ve benzeri çalışmalar göz önüne alınarak, havacılık grubu çalışanlarının stres ve tükenmişlik düzeylerinin artmaması için önlemler alına bilineceği düşünülmektedir

Gayit Samsak'ın “Oğli Boş” hikâyesi; Keriye Kasabası Edebiyatçılar ve Sanatçılar Topluluğunun bir yayını olan Keriye dergisinde Mettursun Süleyman imzasıyla yayımlanmış kısa bir hikâyedir. Hikâyede, iki kahramanın diyaloğu üzerinden; modern dünyadaki bazı gelişmeler, insantabiat ilişkisi ve bozulan doğal düzeninin insanlar ve hayvanlar üzerindeki etkisi sorgulanmaktadır. Doğu Türkistan sahasında gelişen Çağdaş Uygur Edebiyatının günümüz örneklerinden biri olan bu hikâye, Çehov tarzı da denilen durum hikâyesi türünün özelliklerini yansıtır. Hikâye; olay örgüsü, şahıs kadrosu, zaman ve mekân gibi unsurları bakımından klasik olay hikâyeciliğinden oldukça farklı bir yapıdadır. Bu makalede, öncelikle Türkiye Türkçesine aktarılan metin; muhteva, yapı ve dili kullanım açısından ele alınıp tahlil edilmeye çalışılmıştır
İçsel motivasyon kaynaklarının (dindarlık ve özgecilik) rasyonel oy verme ve tüketici tutumu üzerindeki etkileri
Voting behavior is a complex process and voters may be affected by lots of different variables. Religiosity
and altruism are some of these variables. The first aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intrinsic
motivation sources on rational voting behavior. The second is to analyze the impact of rational voting
behavior on consumer’s (voter) attitudes. The sample was chosen from voters living in Turkey. Using a
quantitative research model, data were gathered by a web-based online survey with 244 voters. Participants
were determined by the convenience sampling method. The research hypotheses were tested by PLS
Structural Equation Model. According to the findings of the research, while religiosity affects rational
voting behavior, altruism has no effect. There is an also effect of rational voting behavior on voter’s attitudes.
Lastly, rational voting behavior varies by gender and salary status. The findings may help the parties in their
decision process while preparing for electionsOy verme davranışı karmaşık bir süreç olup, oy verenler birçok farklı değişkenden etkilenebilmektedirler.
Dindarlık ve özgecilikte bu değişkenler arasında yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı öncelikle içsel
motivasyon kaynaklarının rasyonel oy verme davranışı üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktır. İkinci olarak ise,
rasyonel oy verme davranışının tüketici (seçmen) tutumu üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmektir. Örneklem
Türkiye’de yaşayan seçmenlerden seçilmiştir. Nicel araştırma metodu kullanılarak, veriler 244 seçmen
ile web tabanlı çevrimiçi anket kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Katılımcılar kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırma hipotezleri ise PLS yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Araştırmadan
elde dilen bulgulara göre, dindarlığın rasyonel oy verme davranışı üzerinde etkisi bulunurken, özgeciliğin
herhangi bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca rasyonel oy verme davranışının seçmen tutumu üzerinde etkisi
olduğu görülmektedir. Son olarak ise, rasyonel oy verme davranışının cinsiyet ve gelir durumuna göre
değiştiği görülmektedir. Bu bulgular seçimlere hazırlanan partilere alacakları kararlarda yol gösterici
olabilir
The importance of extrinsic cues in deciding to purchase meat products: A conjoint analysis on Muslim consumers
Purpose: This study aims to investigate how extrinsic cues such as brand, certification,
production method and price affect Muslim soujouk consumers’ purchasing decisions in Turkey.
Design/methodology/approach: Conjoint analysis was used to identify consumers’ preferences
and cluster analysis was used to reveal consumer segments for Turkish soujouk, which is a
kind of fermented sausage. A total of 270 Muslim consumers from Turkey were selected by
using a convenience sampling method. Four extrinsic cues were selected for analysis: brand
(unbranded product, private label and national brand), certification (Turkish Standards
Institution, geographical indication and halal certificate), production method (heat process
and fermentation) and price (TRY11, TRY15 and TRY19).
Findings/results: Brand, certification, production method and price were found to be
significant for consumer preference. Price was the least important attribute in consumer
purchase intention. National brand and halal certification were amongst the most important
levels. The research also revealed two basic consumer segments according to cluster analysis.
Practical implications: The study has practical significance for manufacturers in Muslim
countries to identify the main extrinsic cue that influences consumers’ preferences in meat
products. This result provides important insights to both local producers and foreign
manufacturers that market their meat products to Muslim society.
Originality/value: This is the first study on Turkish Muslim consumers’ preferences towards
meat products analysing extrinsic product attributes. In addition, conjoint analysis and cluster
analysis are used to specify Muslim consumers’ preferences
A research to determıne the medıatıng role of green consumptıon ın the effect of altruısm on muslım consumer behavıor
Bu çalışmada bütün dinlerde altın kural olarak ifade edilen “özgecilik” düzeyinin Müslüman tüketici davranışı üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmaktadır. İkinci olarak ise, bu çalışma yeşil tüketimin aracılık etkisini ölçmeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Türkiye’de yaşayan tüketiciler oluşturmaktadır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ve online anket aracılığı ile 523 kişiden veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma hipotezleri yapısal eşitlik
modellemesi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Yine değişkenlerin aracılık rolüne ilişkin etkinin hesaplanmasında
Sobel testinden faydalanılmıştır. Özgecilik konusunda daha önce yapılan çalışmalara bakıldığında, Müslüman tüketici davranışı üzerinde yeşil tüketimin aracılık rolünün değerlendirildiği herhangi bir çalışmaya
rastlanılmamıştır. Bu çalışma yeşil tüketimin aracılık rolünü araştırarak literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır. Çalışma ayrıca akademisyenler, pazarlamacılar ve bu alanda yer alan diğer çalışanlar için faydalı olacaktır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, özgecilik değişkeninin yardım ve bağış boyutunun Müslüman tüketici
davranışı üzerinde herhangi bir etkisi olmadığı tespit edilmiştir ki bu sonuç beklenmedik bir sonuçtur. Aracılık
etkisi açısından bakıldığında ise, Baron ve Kenny’nin yaklaşımı kullanılarak yapılan analiz sonucunda, yeşil
tüketimin bağımlı ve bağımsız değişkenler arasında kısmi bir aracılık rolüne sahip olduğu görülmektedirIn this study, the effect of “altruism” which is accepted as the golden rule in all religions, is investigated
on the Muslim consumer behavior. Secondly, this study aims to explore the mediating role of green
consumption. The sample was chosen from consumers living in Turkey. Using a quantitative research
method, data were gathered by online survey with 523 consumers. Research hypothesis were tested by
Structural Equation Modelling. The mediating role of variables was also tested by Sobel test. Previous
research on altruism has not been considered the mediating role of green consumption on Muslim
consumer behavior. The contribution of this study to literature is investigating the mediating role of green consumption. The study will also useful to academics, marketers and other researchers working
in this area. Charity and donation dimension of altruism has no effect on Muslim consumer behavior,
which is an unexpected outcome. In terms of mediation effect, Using Baron and Kenny’s approach,
green consumption partially mediated the relationship between dependent and independent variables

In vitro evaluation of tooth-colored yttria stabilized zirconia ceramics
Effects of MoCl3 and NiCl2, originally incorporated as coloring agent, on the cellular response of3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) ceramics was investigated. MoCl3 and NiCl2-MoCl3incorporated, tooth-colored 3Y-TZP ceramics were produced through cold isostatic pressing at100 MPa followed by pressureless sintering at 1450°C for 2 h. Aging was performed on thesintered ceramics using distilled water in a reactor at 134°C at 2.3 bar pressure for 2 h. Thephases developed during different stages of processing were identified by X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. In vitro cell culture studies were carried out using L929 fibroblast cell line. Thecell viability and proliferation studies revealed that none of the specimens showed cytotoxicitywith respect to coloring. Confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) analyses suggested thatall of the specimens exhibited good in vitro cytocompatibility. Enhancement in cell attachment,adhesion, and proliferation was observed in all specimens via scanning electron microscope(SEM) analysis. Although the coloring process did not improve the proliferationperformance of the aged specimens, the incorporation of transition metals enhanced thein vitro performance of 3Y-TZP ceramics
Evaluation of Relationship Between Mandibular Third Molars and Mandibular Canal: Comparison of Findings Obtained by Panoramic Radiography and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Statement of the problem: It is important for oral surgeons to determine the precise location of mandibular third molar before extraction. The close rela-tionship of mandibular canal and mandibular third molar is a risk factor for alveolar nerve damage.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between mandibular canal and the mandibular third molar which has already been seen in close relationship on panoramic radiograph (PR) by the compari-son of findings of the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the PR.
Materials & Methods: Close relationship between the mandibular third molar and mandibular canal was scanned in 180 patients by the PR. Images were also obtained by CBCT from patients among which a close-relationship was detected between mandibular canal and mandibular third molar.
Results: Close relationship was detected between mandibular third mo-lar and mandibular canal on 26 of 180 PR and evaluated 46 mandibular third molars. In 41 cases, both the findings in PR and in CBCT images showed comp-liance with each other. As a result it was clearly seen that the mandibular third molars which were detected to be in close relationship on PR were mostly also in close relationship with mandibular canal on CBCT-images.
Conclusions: If the close relationship is not seen on the panoramic ima-ges then there is no need to get CBCT for extracting the mandibular third mo-lars. By this way complication risks are eliminated with less radiation. However CBCT should be definitely used in cases which complete assessment cannot be made in no way due to artifacts such as superposition in PR
DIFFERING IN AGRONOMIC AND QUALITY CHARACTERS IN SOME BACKCROSS–DERIVED LINES IN BREAD WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) GENOTYPES
The backcrossing method remains an efficient tool for transferring genes into established crop varieties. In this study; we were focused on evaluating the selected some backcross lines for yield, grain-quality traits and some agronomic traits under field condition. The experiment was conducted using 15 genotypes in randomized completely blocks design with four replications in Trakya ARI experimental field, during 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 growing years. Grain yield, days of heading and maturing, plant height and some quality parameters and relationship among these parameters were investigated. According to results, there was statistically difference among genotypes in terms of yield and other investigated characters, except for 1000-kernel weight, test weight. Grain yields decreased in Pehlivan, Aldane, Tekirdağ and Dropia backcross lines. It was determined that TKW increased in the backcross derived lines of the Gelibolu, Dropia and Prostor, gluten value increased in Pehlivan and Tekirdağ cultivars. Backcross line for gluten index of the Pehlivan, Aldane, Gelibolu, Prostor and Dropia cultivars highly increased compared with other components. Sedimentation values of the backcross lines of cultivars decreased in Prostor and increased in Pehlivan, Gelibolu and Dropia. The strongly negative correlations were measured between grain yield and days of maturing (r=-0.689**), plant height (r=-0.655**), and lodging resistant (r=-0.743**). Also, grain yield was negatively correlated with protein ratio (r=-0.608*), gluten value (r=-0.541*), and days of heading (r=-0.607*). The negative correlations were found between grain yield and 1000-kernel weight, test weight, hardness, sedimentation, and winter-kill, as well. The strong positive correlations were measured between protein ratio and gluten, hardness, sedimentation, days of heading and maturing, plant height, and lodging resistant. Grain hardness in genotypes increased with the extension of maturation period of the genotypes. Plant height in genotypes strongly correlated with grain yield, protein ratio, gluten value, gluten index, days of heading and maturing
Quality of Life and Self - Efficacy of Adolescents with Chronic Health Conditions
Objective: Chronic Health Conditions (CHC) and problems among adolescents have recently become more frequent. CHC may have an influence on their perception of quality of life and self-efficacy. This research aimed to compare quality of life and self-efficacy among adolescents with CHC and without CHC.
Methods: The research was conducted with 778 adolescents from a high school. Students were asked as follows: “Have you had any health condition which requires a doctor supervision and/or which requires continuous medication (pills, injection, oral or nasal usage) at least for 6 months or more?” All students completed the Self - Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
Results: All diseases declared by the students are accepted as chronic health conditions. The frequency of having chronical health condition is 19.5% among the high school students. PedsQL for adolescents with CHC were significantly lower compared to those without CHC (p0.05).
Conclusion: It has been observed that the PedQL of students with chronic health problems was negatively affected as a result of our work. Lower QoL associated with school functioning of adolescents with chronic health problems suggests the importance of school-related factors (friends, teachers and physical structure) in the intervention of improving quality of life
