Gün geçtikçe değişen teknoloji ve yükselen yaşam kalitesi beraberinde yeni markalar ve iş ortamları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çağa ayak uydurmak ve mevcut çalışanların gelecekte kaliteli bir iş ortamında çalışabilmeleri için işverenler gelecek kuşakların olası istek ve beklentilerini karşılayabilecek şekilde işe ilişkin unsurları (fiziksel çalışma koşulları, ücret vb.) hazırlamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada, işveren marka algısının çalışma yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisi ve bu ilişkinin kuşaklar tarafından farklı algılanıp algılanmadığını ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma Eskişehir ilinde hizmet veren dört ve beş yıldızlı konaklama işletme çalışanları örnekleminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada nicel yöntemlerden alan araştırması kullanılmış olup veriler soru formu (anket) tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler istatistiki programlar aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre örneklemin oluşturduğu çalışanlar X ve Y kuşaklarından oluşmaktadır. Dolayısıyla kuşak karşılaştırılması bu iki kuşak arasında yapılmıştır. Yapılan regresyon sonucunda, işveren markasının ana değişken olarak çalışma yaşam kalitesini arasında pozitif bir ilişki ortaya çıkmıştır. Özetle, işveren marka algısının çalışma yaşam kalitesini etkilediği ve kuşaklara göre bu etkide bir farklılaşmanın olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır.The ever-changing technology and rising quality of life have brought new brands and business environments together. To keep pace and enable current employees to work in a quality business environment in the future, employers are trying to prepare elements of work (physical working conditions, wages, etc.) so that they can meet the expectations and expectations of future generations. In this study, it is aimed to show whether employer brand perception is related to working quality of life and whether this relationship is perceived differently by generations. The research was carried out in the sample of employees of four and five-star hospitality managements serving in Eskisehir. In the research, a field study from quantitative methods was used and data were collected by questionnaire technique. The obtained data were analysed by means of statistical programs. According to the obtained data, the employees formed by the sample are composed of X and Y generations. Therefore, comparison was made between these two generations. As a result of the regression made, there was a positive relationship between working life quality as the main variable of the employer brand. In summary, it was found that employer brand perception affected working quality of work and there was no differentiation in this effect from generation to generation

Evaluation of nutritional status in pediatric intensive care unit patients: the results of a multicenter, prospective study in Turkey

IntroductionMalnutrition is defined as a pathological condition arising from deficient or imbalanced intake of nutritional elements. Factors such as increasing metabolic demands during the disease course in the hospitalized patients and inadequate calorie intake increase the risk of malnutrition. The aim of the present study is to evaluate nutritional status of patients admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in Turkey, examine the effect of nutrition on the treatment process and draw attention to the need for regulating nutritional support of patients while continuing existing therapies.Material and MethodIn this prospective multicenter study, the data was collected over a period of one month from PICUs participating in the PICU Nutrition Study Group in Turkey. Anthropometric data of the patients, calorie intake, 90-day mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay and length of stay in intensive care unit were recorded and the relationship between these parameters was examined.ResultsOf the 614 patients included in the study, malnutrition was detected in 45.4% of the patients. Enteral feeding was initiated in 40.6% (n = 249) of the patients at day one upon admission to the intensive care unit. In the first 48 h, 86.82% (n = 533) of the patients achieved the target calorie intake, and 81.65% (n = 307) of the 376 patients remaining in the intensive care unit achieved the target calorie intake at the end of one week. The risk of mortality decreased with increasing upper mid-arm circumference and triceps skin fold thickness Z-score (OR = 0.871/0.894; p = 0.027/0.024). The risk of mortality was 2.723 times higher in patients who did not achieve the target calorie intake at first 48 h (p = 0.006) and the risk was 3.829 times higher in patients who did not achieve the target calorie intake at the end of one week (p = 0.001). The risk of mortality decreased with increasing triceps skin fold thickness Z-score (OR = 0.894; p = 0.024).ConclusionTimely and appropriate nutritional support in critically ill patients favorably affects the clinical course. The results of the present study suggest that mortality rate is higher in patients who fail to achieve the target calorie intake at first 48 h and day seven of admission to the intensive care unit. The risk of mortality decreases with increasing triceps skin fold thickness Z-score

Effect of embryo quality and developmental stages on pregnancy rate during fresh embryo transfer in beef heifers

Dursun, Şükrü ( Aksaray, Yazar )The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of embryo quality and developmental stages on pregnancy rate in beef heifer recipients. The present study used 168 Simmental breed cows as donors, and 618 beef cattle breed heifers as recipients. The quality and developmental stages of the collected embryos were evaluated according to the criteria specified by the International Embryo Technology Society. Accordingly, the embryos in the compact morula, early blastocyst, blastocyst, and expanded blastocyst stages that were of Code I (excellent) and Code II (good) quality levels were transferred as fresh embryos to the recipient heifers. Prior to the transfer, the recipients were synchronized using the Ovsynch protocol, and the embryos obtained were transferred to 618 beef heifers. Pregnancy examinations were performed on days 30 and 60. On day 30, the pregnancy rates with Code I and Code II embryos were determined as 44.15% and 32.58%, respectively. According to the developmental stages, the pregnancy rates with Code I quality compact morula, early blastocyst, blastocyst, and expanded blastocyst were determined as 44.64%, 45.67%, 45.83%, and 33.33%, respectively. The rates of pregnancy with Code II quality compact morula, early blastocyst, and blastocyst were determined as 32.03%, 32.14%, and 50.0%, respectively. In conclusion, the pregnancy rates with Code I quality embryos were found to be higher compared with Code II embryos (P 0.05)

Retrospective evaluation of factors affecting superovulatory response in embryo production in Simmental cattle

In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of lactation status, days in milk (DIM), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) dose, and repeated superstimulations on superovulation response and embryo yield in Simmental cattle. In the present study, 193 Simmental breed cattle (lactating, nonlactating, and heifer) were used as donors, of which 149 were superovulated only once and the other 44 were superovulated for 3 times. Progesterone-based estrus synchronization protocol was applied to the donors. Starting from day 7, FSH was given intramuscularly to donors in decreasing doses twice a day for 4 days. The donors were injected with prostaglandin F2α at the 5th FSH treatment and progesterone source was removed 12 h later. Artificial insemination was performed twice after the removal of progesterone source. In the present study, 134 of the 149 donors who underwent a superovulation protocol for the first time responded to superovulation treatment (≥3 corpus luteum (CL); 89.93%) and the mean count of transferable embryos per donor was 5.58. No statistical difference was observed for the counts of CL, total oocyte/embryo, and transferable embryo among heifers, lactating cows, and nonlactating cows. A positive correlation was noted between DIM and embryo yield (P < 0.05). Superovulation response and embryo yield were increased depending on the dose of FSH in cows undergoing superstimulation treatment (P < 0.05). Although no statistical difference was detected between the embryo yields obtained from the first two applications in repeated superovulation treatments, the embryo yield decreased after the 3rd superstimulation. In conclusion, in Simmental breed cows, the embryo yield in superovulation applications was unaffected by lactation status, but was affected by the applied FSH dose and DIM. It was also concluded that the embryo yield decreased after the 3rd application in repeated superovulation treatments
