The association of early maladaptive schemas and dysfunctional schema coping modes with interpersonal dominance and submissiveness: perceived similarity in couples

Şema Terapi Modeli ve Kişilerarası Kişilik Kuramı, kişilik ve kişilerarası ilişki örüntüsünün gelişimsel açıklaması açısından tutarlılık göstermektedir. Şema modeline göre, yakın ilişkilerde erken dönem uyum bozucu şemalarının yanı sıra işlevsel olmayan şema baş etme modları da ilişkilenme örüntüsünü etkileyebilir. Kişilerarası döngüsel modelin tamamlayıcılık ilkesi ise kişilerarası ilişkilerde davranışların baskınlık boyutunda karşılıklılık gösterdiğini öne sürer. Bu çalışmada, erken dönem uyum bozucu şemalar ve işlevsel olmayan baş etme modlarının kişilerarası baskınlık ve boyun eğicilik ile ilişkisi romantik ilişkiler bağlamında incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 18-61 yaş arasında 731 (408 kadın ve 317 erkek) katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri Demografik Bilgi Formu, Kişilerarası Problemler Envanteri-Döngüsel Ölçekleri-Kısa Formu öz bildirim ve gözlemci versiyonu, Young Şema Ölçeği Kısa Form-3 ve Şema Mod Envanteri aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Şema alanları ve şema baş etme modlarının (aşırı telafi ve teslimci) etkisi kontrol edildiğinde, baskınlık ve boyun eğiciliğin, algılanan partner-baskınlığı ve algılanan partner-boyun eğiciliği ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla çoklu hiyerarşik regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi bulgularına göre iki bağımsız sıralı aracılık modeli test edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, kopukluk şemasının partnerde algılanan kişilerarası problemler (algılanan partner boyun eğiciliği ve baskınlığı) ile ilişkisinde sırasıyla kişinin kullandığı baş etme şema modları (teslimci ve aşırı telafi) ve kendi kişilerarası problemlerinin (boyun eğicilik ve baskınlık) aracı rolünü göstermiştir. Kişilerarası problemlerde, katılımcılar partnerlerini kendilerine benzer algılamıştır. Elde edilen bulgular alanyazın kapsamında tartışılmış ve klinik doğurguları değerlendirilmiştir.Schema Therapy Model and Interpersonal Theory of Personality have consistent developmental explanations of personality and interpersonal relationship patterns. According to the Schema Model, dysfunctional schema coping modes, as well as early maladaptive schemas, can affect relational patterns in close relationships. Moreover, the complementarity principle of the Interpersonal Circumplex Model suggests that behaviors in interpersonal relationships show reciprocity in the dominance dimension. In this study, early maladaptive schemas and dysfunctional schema coping modes in relation to dominance and submissiveness were examined in romantic relationship context. The sample of the study includes 731 (408 females and 317 males) participants aged between 18-61. The data of the study was collected via Demographic Information Form, Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex Scales-Short Form self-report and observer version, Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form-3, and Schema Mode Inventory. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the association of dominance and submissiveness to perceived partner-dominance and perceived partner-submissiveness, while the effect of schemas and schema modes are controlled for. Depending on the results of the hierarchical regression analyses, two independent serial mediation models were proposed and tested. The results showed the mediating role of the coping schema modes (surrender and overcompensation) and one's interpersonal problems (submissiveness and dominance), respectively, in the relationship between the disconnection schema and perceived interpersonal problems in the partner (perceived partner submissiveness and dominance). Participants perceived their partners similar to themselves in interpersonal problems. The findings were discussed within the scope of the literature and their clinical implications were evaluated.Publisher's Versio

Evaluation of Violence Against Physicians: Sivas Province Example

Objective: Violent incidents in healthcare institutions are situations that negatively affect all healthcare professionals, especially physicians. This research was planned to determine the frequency of physicians’ exposure to workplace violence, their reactions to violence, the causes of violence, and solutions to violence. Methods: In this regard, the study group of the research consists of a total of 290 volunteer physicians between the ages of 24-72 working in the city center of Sivas. In this study, data was collected using a survey consisting of 49 questions, including the sociodemographic characteristics of physicians, information about their working status, variables related to the violence that physicians were exposed to, and physicians’ thoughts about the causes, consequences, and solution suggestions of violence. Results: The rate of physicians who were exposed to violence at least once in the working environment was 57.9%. Female physicians, physicians who worked in internal branches, and physicians who had a career of over 16 years were more likely to be exposed to violence. 49.4% of physicians who were subjected to violence filed a complaint. Psychological/verbal violence was the most common (82.1%) among the types of violence. The perpetrators of violence were primarily patients and their relatives. Conclusion: In order to prevent violent incidents and their adverse effects, adequate security measures should be taken, legal regulations should be made to deter acts of violence, and the level of awareness of violent incidents should be increased. Healthcare workers should be given support and training on the effects of violence and coping with it, and the working conditions of physicians should be improved

Serology-based approach in the clinical evaluation of neonatal viral eye diseases in kittens: calicivirus, herpesvirus and panleukopenia virus

This study aimed to examine the distribution of feline calicivirus (FCV), feline herpesvirus (FHV), and feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV), which cause neonatal feline viral diseases in kittens aged one to three months, using a Dot-ELISA bases antibody test kit. The studied parameters included the animals" sex, clinical signs and the Dot-ELISA test kit values. Twenty kittens had eye lesions and 20 were without eye lesions. Basic ophthalmologic examinations were performed, including pupil, corneal, palpebral and menace response reflexes, direct ophthalmoscopy, and fluorescein staining. The study population consisted of 40 kittens (25 female and 15 male); 3 of them are British shorthaired and the rest is 37 tabby kittens. In half of the 20 kittens with eye lesions, the lesions were bilateral and the most common clinical lesions were conjunctivitis, mucopurulent discharge, and blepharospasm. Other notable clinical findings were iris staphyloma, corneal opacity, symblepharon, and panophthalmitis. A higher rate of seropositive results was determined against Calicivirus in kittens. The severity and appearance of the cases could vary depending on the virus accompanying the lesions. In conclusion, the Feline Calicivirus was the most frequently detected virus in 1 to 3-month-old kittens in this study and the clinical presentation may change according to the accompanying virus titers

A Rare Cause of Acute Respiratory Distress: Cervical Ranula

Plunging or cervical ranula is a mucus extravasation pseudocyst arising from the sublingual gland that is located below the mylohyoid muscle. Clinically, if large enough, cervical ranulas can affect swallowing, speech, chewing, and even breathing. The acute presentation of ranulas, which are clinically known as slow-growing, painless masses, is rare. In this study, we present a case of cervical ranula that grew in a short period of 3 days and resulted in respiratory distress and that was operated in our clinic

Genomic surveillance during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic – country experience and lessons learned from Türkiye

BackgroundTürkiye confirmed its first case of SARS-CoV-2 on March 11, 2020, coinciding with the declaration of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, Türkiye swiftly increased testing capacity and implemented genomic sequencing in 2020. This paper describes Türkiye’s journey of establishing genomic surveillance as a middle-income country with limited prior sequencing capacity and analyses sequencing data from the first two years of the pandemic. We highlight the achievements and challenges experienced and distill globally relevant lessons.MethodsWe tracked the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in Türkiye from December 2020 to February 2022 through a timeline and analysed epidemiological, vaccination, and testing data. To investigate the phylodynamic and phylogeographic aspects of SARS-CoV-2, we used Nextstrain to analyze 31,629 high-quality genomes sampled from seven regions nationwide.ResultsTürkiye’s epidemiological curve, mirroring global trends, featured four distinct waves, each coinciding with the emergence and spread of variants of concern (VOCs). Utilizing locally manufactured kits to expand testing capacity and introducing variant-specific quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) tests developed in partnership with a private company was a strategic advantage in Türkiye, given the scarcity and fragmented global supply chain early in the pandemic. Türkiye contributed more than 86,000 genomic sequences to global databases by February 2022, ensuring that Turkish data was reflected globally. The synergy of variant-specific RT-qPCR kits and genomic sequencing enabled cost-effective monitoring of VOCs. However, data analysis was constrained by a weak sequencing sampling strategy and fragmented data management systems, limiting the application of sequencing data to guide the public health response. Phylodynamic analysis indicated that Türkiye’s geographical position as an international travel hub influenced both national and global transmission of each VOC despite travel restrictions.ConclusionThis paper provides valuable insights into the testing and genomic surveillance systems adopted by Türkiye during the COVID-19 pandemic, proposing important lessons for countries developing national systems. The findings underscore the need for robust testing and sampling strategies, streamlined sample referral, and integrated data management with metadata linkage and data quality crucial for impactful epidemiological analysis. We recommend developing national genomic surveillance strategies to guide sustainable and integrated expansion of capacities built for COVID-19 and to optimize the effective utilization of sequencing data for public health action

The genetic history of the Southern Arc: a bridge between West Asia and Europe

By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic period and Bronze Age (about 5000 to 1000 BCE), when extensive gene flow entangled it with the Eurasian steppe. Two streams of migration transmitted Caucasus and Anatolian/Levantine ancestry northward, and the Yamnaya pastoralists, formed on the steppe, then spread southward into the Balkans and across the Caucasus into Armenia, where they left numerous patrilineal descendants. Anatolia was transformed by intra–West Asian gene flow, with negligible impact of the later Yamnaya migrations. This contrasts with all other regions where Indo-European languages were spoken, suggesting that the homeland of the Indo-Anatolian language family was in West Asia, with only secondary dispersals of non-Anatolian Indo-Europeans from the steppe

Araştırmada, ortaöğretimde tarih derslerinin öğrencilerin akıl yürütmelerine etkisi belirlenmeye çalışılmış, öğretmen ve ders kitabı boyutları da ele alınmıştır. Araştırma betimsel araştırma modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Nitel veri toplama teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada ders kitabı boyutu için içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. Öğretmenlerden görüşme yoluyla bilgi alınmıştır. Öğrencilere tarihsel materyallere ilişkin akıl yürütmelerini sağlamak için öncüllerin verilerek sonucun istendiği ve sonucun verilerek öncüllerin istendiği iki form hazırlanmıştır. Bu formlar eğitim-öğretim yılı başında ve sonunda öğrencilere uygulanmış ve bu formlardaki öğrenci yorumları analiz edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda Aksaray Anadolu Öğretmen Lisesi, Aksaray Anadolu Lisesi ve Aksaray Ticaret Meslek Lisesi?nde bulunan 9. sınıf öğrencilerinden elde edilen toplamda 262 veri formu değerlendirilmiş ve altı tarih öğretmeni ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Araştırmada öğrencilerin tarihsel materyallere ilişkin yürüttükleri akıl yürütmelerin nitelikleri ile ders kitabında sunulan ve öğretmenlerin vurguladıklarını söyledikleri akıl yürütmelerin niteliklerinin tutarlı olup olmadığına bakılmıştır. Ders kitaplarının sunduğu materyal ve buna dayalı akıl yürütmelerin öğrenci akıl yürütmelerine göre daha üst seviyede olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin kullandıklarını/kullanmadıklarını söyledikleri akıl yürütmeler ile öğrencilerin akıl yürütmelerinin tutarlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Okul türleri açısından bakıldığında giriş sınavında daha yüksek puanla giriş yapabilenokulların öğrencilerinin daha iyi akıl yürütme yapabildikleri görülmüştür. Cinsiyet açısından ise öncüllerin istendiği formlarda kızlar lehine, sonucun istendiği formlarda erkekler lehine bir farklılık belirlenmiştir.In the survey it is attempted to determine the effect of history lessons on the students? reasoning at secondary school education, and the teacher and the textbook factors are argued out. The research is designed in the descriptive model. Qualitative data gathering techniques are used. In the survey, content analysis is used for textbook factor. The teachers are interviewed for necessary information. In order to provide the students reason about the historical materials, two kinds of forms are prepared, in which the results are asked giving the premises and the premises are asked giving the results. These forms are applied to students at the beginning and at the end of the academic year and the students? comments in these forms are analyzed. Upon this analysis, totally 262 form gathered from ninth grade students are applied this form and six history teachers are interviewed in Aksaray Anatolian Teacher Training High School, Aksaray Anatolian High School, and Aksaray Trade Vocational High School. In the survey, it is checked whether the features of students? reasoning related to historical materials are consistent with the ones given in the textbook and the points that teachers said they emphasized the features of reasoning or not. It is determined that the materials provided by the textbook and reasoning on this basis are at higher level than students? reasoning. Also the reasoning that teachers said they used/did not use are consistent with the students? reasoning. Concerning types of school, it is seen that the students of the schools that requires high points in entrance exam are able to reason better. Concerning gender, it is stated that girls are in a better condition compared to boys on reasoning and the willingness for reasoning in form that the premises are asked. Boys are better than girls on reasoning in form that the results are asked
