The Effect of Out-of-School Learning Activities on Gifted Students’ Affective and Behavioral Tendencies Towards The Environment

This study investigates the effect of out-of-school activities on gifted students' affective and behavioral tendencies. Mixed method research with a single group pre and post-test experimental design was used in this study. Twenty-five gifted students from Turkey-İstanbul participated in this study. “Environmental Affect Scale” and “Environmental Behavior Scale” were used, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Results showed that out-of-school activities positively affected the students’ affective and behavioral tendencies toward the environment. It was also found that the awareness of students on environmental problems increased, and they began to produce their solutions to these problems

Traces of existentialism in Selçuk Baran's stories

19. yüzyılın sonlarında geleneksel felsefeye bir tepki mahiyetinde ortaya çıkan özellikle de II. Dünya Savaşı sonrası dünya üzerinde yaşanan politik, ekonomik ve kültürel değişmelerin birey üzerindeki tesirini yansıtan varoluşçuluk, modern dönemin en etkili felsefe akımıdır. Kökleri İlk Çağ’a kadar dayandırılabilecek olan bu akım, 20. yüzyıl insanının problemlerini esas alır; bireyin varoluş amacını araştırır. Edebiyat ise çoğu zaman toplumsal gelişimlere ve değişimlere paralel bir düzlemde ilerler. Bu açıdan bilhassa 1950’lerden sonra meydana getirilmiş edebî eserlerde varoluşçuluk, kurmaca metinlerdeki kahramanların varoluş sancısı çerçevesinde kendisine yer bulur. Varoluşçuluğun bu etkisi herhangi bir akımın savunucusu olmayan, ancak 1970’lerden sonra okuyucusu ile buluşan Selçuk Baran’ın eserlerinde de kendisini gösterir. Selçuk Baran içinde bulunduğu dönemin koşulları ve şahsî yaşamının getirmiş olduğu birtakım olumsuzlukların etkisiyle varoluşçu felsefenin başat özelliklerini kahramanlarına yansıtmış bir yazardır. Baran’ın çalışmamıza konu edilen öykülerindeki karakterler, “bunalım”, “ölüm”, “yalnızlık”, “özgürlük” ve “cinsellik” başlıkları altında incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışmamızda varoluşçuluğun en mühim filozofları arasında anılabilecek Kierkegaard, Sartre, Heidegger, Jaspers gibi birçok ismin görüşleri ışığında öykülerdeki karakterlerin varoluşsal çıkmazları ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.Reflecting the effects of the political, economic, and cultural changes experienced in the world after World War II on the individual, existentialism is the most influential philosophy movement of the modern period experienced at the end of the 19th century, especially as a reaction to traditional philosophy. This movement going back to the First Age is based on the challenges faced in the twenty-first century and analyzes the meaning of one's existence. On the other hand, literature often progresses in parallel with social developments and changes. In this respect, existentialism, especially in literary works after 1950s, finds its place within the framework of heroes’ existential pain in fictional texts. Although Selçuk Baran is not a supporter of any movement. He came into contact with his readers after the 1970s and this effect of existentialism can also be seen in his works. Selçuk Baran is an author reflecting the dominant characteristics of existential philosophy to his heroes with the impact of the period he lived in and some negative aspects of his personal life. The characters in Baran's stories, which are the subject of our study, were examined under the headings of "depression," "death," "loneliness," "freedom", and "sexuality". The existential crises of the characters in the stories were addressed in light of the opinions of a number of prominent existentialist philosophers, including Kierkegaard, Sartre, Heidegger and Jaspers

Anatomy of master knot of henry: A morphometric study on cadavers

WOS: 000433350100010PubMed ID: 29366540Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the features of flexor hallucis longus (FHL), flexor digitorum longus (FDL) and flexor digitorum accessorius (FDA) muscles with relevance to the tendon grafts and to reveal the location of Master Knot of Henry (MKH). Methods: Twenty feet from ten formalin fixed cadavers were dissected, which were in the inventory of Anatomy Department of Medicine Faculty, Mersin University. The location of MKH was identified. Interconnections of FHL and FDL were categorized. According to incision techniques, lengths of FHL and FDL tendon grafts were measured. Attachment sites of FDA were assessed. Results: MKH was 12.61 +/- 1.11 cm proximal to first interphalangeal joint, 1.75 +/- 0.39 cm below to navicular tuberosity and 5.93 +/- 0.74cm distal to medial malleolus. The connections of FHL and FDL were classified in 7 types. Tendon graft lengths of FDL according to medial and plantar approaches were 6.14 +/- 0.60cm and 9.37 +/- 0.77cm, respectively. Tendon graft lengths of FHL according to single, double and minimal invasive incision techniques were 5.75 +/- 0.63cm, 7.03 +/- 0.86cm and 20.22 +/- 1.32 cm, respectively. FDA was found to be inserting to FHL slips in all cases and it inserted to various surfaces of FDL. Conclusion: The exact location of MKH and slips was determined. Two new connections not recorded in literature were found. It was observed that the main attachment site of FDA was the FHL slips. The surgical awareness of connections between the FHL, FDL and FDA, which participated in the formation of long flexor tendons of toes, could be important for reducing possible loss of function after tendon transfers postoperatively
