Article Citation Count: 0Adaptation of Caregivers' Task Scale for Multiple Sclerosis To Turkish Society: Validity and Reliability Study(Dokuz Eylul Univ inst Health Sciences, 2022) Eroğlu, Nermin; Tosun, Anil Tekeoglu; Hemşirelik BölümüObjectives: This study was planned and carried out methodologically to adapt the Caregiving Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CTiMSS) to Turkish society. Methods: A methodological research. The study was conducted with caregivers of individuals with multiple sclerosis who presented to the neurology clinic of a university hospital between June 2019 and September 2020. The validity and reliability study of the Caregiving Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CTiMSS) was performed with a total of 142 individuals, which is more than 5 times the number of items on the scale (24 items). Results: The validity of the CTiMSS was evaluated with language validity, construct validity (CFA), and content validity. The reliability coefficient of the internal consistency analysis (Cronbach's Alpha) was found to be extremely high (0.97). Item-total correlation of the scale was examined, and accordingly, no items were removed from the scale. The scale was administered to 30 patients at a two-week interval to analyze test-retest reliability and time-dependent invariance. Conclusion: The CTiMSS, which was adapted to Turkish society to evaluate the tasks of individuals providing care for individuals with multiple sclerosis, is a valid and reliable tool. We recommend that it should be administered to different groups and cultures to increase its evidence value. CTiMSS is an appropriate measurement tool to determine the duties of caregivers of individuals with multiple sclerosis.Article Citation Count: 0Adolesan Sporcularda Olumlu Beden İmgesi ile Mükemmeliyetçilik İlişkisinde Öz Şefkatin Aracılık Rolünün Spor Türüne Göre İncelenmesi(2024) Güngören, Fatma Eda; Aşçı, F. HülyaBu çalışmanın amacı adolesan sporcularda olumlu beden imgesi ile mükemmeliyetçilik ilişkisinde öz şefkatin aracılık rolünün spor türüne göre incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya İstanbul ilindeki kulüplerde bireysel ve takım sporlarıyla uğraşan, en az 2 yıl spor deneyimi olan 381 (x̄yaş=15,95± 1,05) kız sporcu katılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan sporculara Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Beden Değeri Ölçeği-2; Öz Şefkat Ölçeği-Kısa Formu ve Spora Özgü Çok Boyutlu Mükemmeliyetçilik Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizi Process Macro eklentisi aracılığıyla IBM SPSS kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada aracılık ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla oluşturulan modelleme ‘Koşullu Süreç Modeli’ kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, mükemmeliyetçiliğin kişisel standartlar (B=-0,16; p<0,00), hatalarla aşırı ilgilenme (B=-0,33; p<0,05), algılanan ebeveyn baskısı (B=-0,13; p<0,05) ve algılanan koç baskısı (B=-0,20; p<0,05) alt boyutları ile öz şefkat arasında negatif ilişki vardır. Mükemmeliyetçiliğin kişisel standartlar (B= 0,38; p<0,05) alt boyutu olumlu beden imgesi ile pozitif ilişkiliyken, hatalarla aşırı ilgilenme (B=0,04; p>0,05), algılanan ebeveyn baskısı (B=0,14; p> 0,05), ve algılanan koç baskısı (B=0,01; p> 0,05), olumlu beden imgesi arasındaki ilişki anlamlı bulunmamıştır ve tüm bu ilişkilerde spor türü düzenleyici role sahip değildir. Ayrıca, bulgular öz şefkatin; kişisel standartlar, hatalarla aşırı ilgilenme, algılanan ebeveyn baskısı ve algılanan koç baskısı ile olumlu beden imgesi arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık ettiğini, bu aracılık etkisinde spor türünün düzenleyici rolü olmadığını göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, adolesan sporcuların mükemmeliyetçilik düzeyleri öz şefkatten etkilenerek onların, olumlu beden imgesi düzeylerini etkilemektedir ve bu etkiler sporcuların bireysel veya takım sporu ile uğraşmalarına göre değişmemektedir.Other Citation Count: 0Aktivist Reklamlara Yönelik Y ve Z Kuşağının Tutumunun Satın Alma Niyetine Etkisi(2024) Ugur, Hülya; Tosun, Nurhan ZeynepTüketicilerin beklenti ve istekleri doğrultusunda markaların toplumsal konuları gündeme getirerek yeniden canlanması ve eşitlik, adalet gibi temel ve varoluşsal konuları içeren reklam mesajları, yeni bir reklam paradigmasının ortaya çıkmasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Aktivist reklamcılık olarak ifade edilen bu yaklaşım markaların reklam kampanyalarında hedef kitlelerine toplumsal ve sosyal konulara yönelik mesajlar iletmelerini içermektedir. Özellikle toplumsal ve sosyal konularda daha duyarlı olan ve markalardan farklılıklar bekleyen Y ve Z kuşakları için markaların aktivist bir duruş sergilemeleri büyük önem taşımaya başlamıştır. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışma, yeni bir reklamcılık akımına ışık tutan aktivist reklamlara yönelik tutumların satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada reklama yönelik tutum oluşumu üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olan (a) reklam değeri, (b) güvenilirlik (c) bilgilendiricilik, (d) aldatıcılık, (e) eğlendiricilik ve (f) rahatsız edicilik tutum değişkenlerinin aktivist reklama yönelik tutum ve satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi de irdelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan anket tekniği kullanılarak 417'si Y kuşağı ve 417'si Z kuşağı olmak üzere 834 birey anket çalışmasıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Y ve Z kuşağı katılımcıları bağlamında aktivist reklamlara yönelik tutumların satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirildiğinde, regresyon analizinin bağımlı değişken (satın alma niyeti) ile bağımsız değişken (reklama yönelik tutum) arasındaki etkileşimi anlamlı bir şekilde ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca reklama yönelik tutum oluşumunda önemli rol oynayan tutum değişkenleri boyutlarının aktivist reklama yönelik tutum ve satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirildiğinde, bağımlı değişkenler (tutum, satın alma niyeti) ile bağımsız değişkenler (reklam değeri, bilgilendiricilik, aldatıcılık, eğlendirici ve rahatsız edici, güvenilirlik) arasındaki etkileşimi açıklayan regresyon analizinin de anlamlı sonuçlar verdiği görülmektedir.Article Citation Count: 0Analysis of Selected Steroid Hormones in Sea of Marmara Sediment Samples by Lc-esi/Ms-ms(Istanbul Univ, Fac Pharmacy, 2023) Yurdun, Türkan; Yurdun, Turkan; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüBackground and Aims: Sediment is the general name given to the muddy structure located at the bottom of aquatic environments such as the sea. In our study, the amounts of steroid hormones were investigated in the sediment samples taken from the Marmara Sea. According to other studies, it has been determined that the excess of the hormone load in the sediments may be an indicator of human/animal sourced pollution, as well as the negative effects of the hormones mixed in the seas with the ecological cycle on the health of humans and animals.Methods: In our study, 31 selected human/animal, plant, natural and synthetic hormone-steroids were studied using Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS-MS). Methanol and QuEChERS were used as extraction methods. Sediment samples were taken from a total of 27 points selected for sampling at the Marmara Sea.Results: According to the results we found, the androgens: androsterone (24.50-1718.18 ng g-1), testosterone (86.30-1600.32 ng g-1); the estrogens: mestranol (33.73-228.32 ng g-1), equilin (53.44-1232.53 ng g-1); the progestagens; pregnenolone (37.50374.76 ng g-1), progesterone (39.96-405.60 ng g-1); levonorgestrel (325.25 and 937.93 ng g-1); the fecal sterols: cholestanone (57.57-1726.32 ng g-1), coprostanol + epicoprostanol (51.43-1370.33 ng g-1); and the plant sterol; campesterol (35.30-1859.90 ng g-1) were the compounds detected.Conclusion: Estrogens and progestogens are active components of birth control pills, and cholestanone and coprostanol + epicoprostanol are steroids that are indicative of human/animal pollution. Coprostanol + epicoprostanol and cholestanone, which are indicators of fecal pollution, were detected in all sediment samples. In our study, steroid hormones were detected for the first time in Sea of Marmara sediments and possible environmental risks were evaluated.Article Citation Count: 7Antibiotic Use and Influencing Factors Among Hospitalized Patients With Covid-19: a Multicenter Point-Prevalence Study From Turkey(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Ağalar, Canan; Cag, Yasemin; Karabay, Oguz; Kurtaran, Behice; Guclu, Ertugrul; Ogutlu, Aziz; Agalar, Canan; Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikler BölümüBackground: Broad-spectrum empirical antimicrobials arc frequently prescribed for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) despite the lack of evidence for bacterial coinfection. Aims: We aimed to cross-sectionally determine the frequency of antibiotics use, type of antibiotics prescribed, and the factors influencing antibiotics use in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Study Design: The study was a national, multicenter, retrospective. and single-day point prevalence study. Methods: This was a national, multicenter, retrospective, and single-day point-prevalence study, conducted in the 24-h period between 00:00 and 24:00 on November 18, 2020, during the start of the second COVID-19 peak in Turkey. Results: A total of 1500 patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of COVID-19 were included in the study. The mean age +/- standard deviation of the patients was 65.0 +/- 15.5, and 56.2% (n = 843) of these patients were men. Of these hospitalized patients, 11.9% (n = 178) were undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO. It was observed that 1118 (74.5%) patients were receiving antibiotics, of which 416 (372%) were prescribed a combination of antibiotics. In total, 71.2% of the patients had neither a clinical diagnosis nor microbiological evidence for prescribing antibiotics. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, hospitalization in a state hospital (p < 0.001), requiring any supplemental oxygen (p = 0.005). presence of moderate/diffuse lung involvement (p < 0.001), C-reactive protein >10 ULT coefficient (p < 0.001), lymphocyte count < 800 (p = 0.007), and clinical diagnosis and/or confirmation by culture (p <0.001) were found to be independent factors associated with increased antibiotic use. Conclusion: The necessity of empirical antibiotics use in patients with COVID-19 should be reconsidered according to their clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings.Article Citation Count: 0Antimicrobial Effect of Drinkable Lugol Solution(2024) Tunç, Ayşe Karacalı; Sarıtaş, Büşra Merve; Marzi, Mahdi; Dursun, Feray; Kaya, ŞevinThe death rates due to infection in patients receiving long-term antibiotic treatment and hospitalized patients are quite alarming. Treatment of multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, which cause widespread nosocomial infection, has become a global problem. Alternative treatment methods are needed for these species, which use all their resistance mechanisms day by day. Recently, it has been seen that iodine (lugol) solution has been used in the treatment of many infections. Significant results are observed, especially for nosocomial and wound infections. The literature on the antimicrobial effect of Lugol solution is very limited. In order to scientifically support such treatments, we aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of lugol on resistant bacteria in a laboratory environment. In our laboratory, we have previously isolated Acinetobacter baumannii, Shigella sonneii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus strains with known antibiotic resistance. For these isolates, the agar dilution method prepared with different concentrations of lugol and the Broth Microdilution Method were used. As a result of our study, it was observed that drinkable Lugol solution affects multidrug-resistant microorganisms at very low concentrations. Thus, Lugol's success in infection treatments will be scientifically supported.Article Citation Count: 0Antioxidants, Enzyme Inhibitory Activities, and Phytochemical Profiles of Seven Medicinal Plants Grown With Organic Farming Techniques(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2023) Zor, Murat; Ozupek, Burcin; Pekacar, Sultan; Deliorman Orhan, Didem; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüIn this study, the potential antihyperlipidemic, antidiabetic, and antiobesity effects of extracts obtained via infusion techniques from Artemisia absinthium L., Achillea millefolium L., Calendula officinalis L., Fumaria officinalis L., Mentha piperita L., Origanum onites L., and Urtica dioica L. grown with organic farming techniques were investigated using enzyme inhibition methods (alpha-glucosidase, pan-creatic cholesterol esterase, pancreatic lipase, and alpha-amylase). It is important that natural compounds or extracts to be used in the treat-ment of metabolic problems have antioxidant effects. The antioxidant effects of these species were tested in terms of ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing power, and metal chelating capacity. Extracts (2 mg/mL) of M. piperita (91.43 +/- 0.90%) and O. onites (70.18 +/- 2.02%) showed potent inhibitory effects on the alpha-glucosidase enzyme. Among all species, only O. onites extract ex-erted an inhibitory effect on the cholesterol esterase enzyme close to that of reference compound simvastatin. While all extracts were effective in the tested antioxidant activity methods, it was determined that the M. piperita and O. onites extracts displayed particularly significantly strong activities in terms of ferric reducing power, ABTS radical scavenging effect, and metal chelating capacity. The total flavonoid and phenolic contents of all extracts were determined. The compositions of the most active extracts were analyzed for pheno-lic acids and flavonoids using RP-HPLC. The results of RP-HPLC analysis showed that the levels of ellagic acid (0.923 +/- 0.000 g/100 g extract) in the M. piperita extract and rosmarinic acid (0.813 +/- 0.003 g/100 g extract) in the O. onites extract were high. As a result, all species grown with organic farming techniques except U. dioica were found to have high antioxidant effects. In light of these findings, it was concluded that M. piperita and O. onites grown with organic farming techniques showed strong inhibitory effects in terms of the tested activities, especially for alpha-glucosidase and pancreatic cholesterol esterase, and that in vivo studies and activity-guided isolation studies should be conducted on these species in the future.Article Citation Count: 5Apocynin Ameliorates Testicular Toxicity in High-Fat Diet-Fed Rats by Regulating Oxidative Stress(Marmara Univ, inst Health Sciences, 2023) Şener, Göksel; Koroglu, M. Kutay; Coskunlu, Busra; Ertas, Busra; Sener, Goksel; Ercan, Feriha; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüObjective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of apocynin (APC), an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase (NOX), on high-fat diet (HF)induced testis cytotoxicity.Methods: Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups as control, HF and HF+APC groups. Rats in HF and HF+APC groups were fed using HF for 16 weeks and in the last four weeks of this period vehicle solution or APC (25 mg/kg) was administered orally five days a week, respectively. Control group was fed with standart lab chow for 16 weeks. Cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoproteins, leptin, estrogen, testosterone, LH and FSH were estimated in blood serum. Sperm parameters were analysed from the epididymis. Testicular malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy-2deoxyguanosine, glutathione, superoxide dismutase and myeloperoxidase levels were estimated biochemically. Testicular morphology, proliferative, apoptotic and NOX2-positive cells were analysed histologically.Results: HF-induced obesity caused significant alterations in serum lipid and hormone profiles. Testicular malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy-2deoxyguanosine, and myeloperoxidase levels increased, glutathione and superoxide dismutase levels decreased in this group. Moreover, altered sperm parameters, increased degenerated seminiferous tubules, apoptotic and NOX2 - positive cells and decreased proliferative cells were observed in the HF group. All these biochemical and histological alterations improved in the HF+APC group.Conclusion: HF-induced obesity causes altreations in lipid values, sperm parameters and testicular morphology by increasing oxidative stress through NOX2 activity. Apocynin might prevent testis damage via regulating oxidant/antioxidant balance.Article Citation Count: 0Avrupa Birliği ve Türkiye’de Sivil Toplumun Son On Yılı: Sivil Alanın Daralması Tartışmalarına Karşılaştırmalı Bir Bakış(2024) Köseoğlu, Nihan Akıncılar; Duygulu, ŞirinAdalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP), Avrupa Birliği'ne (AB) üyelik hedefi doğrultusunda 2002 yılında ilk kez iktidara geldiğinde reform, demokratikleşme ve Avrupalılaşma sürecine odaklanmıştır. Türkiye'de sivil toplumun daha da gelişmesi, Kopenhag Siyasi Kriterlerinin yerine getirilmesinde çok önemli bir rol oynamaya başlamıştır. Bu reform süreci 2005 yılında yavaşlamış ve Türkiye 2011 yılında ‘Avrupalılaşmama’ olarak adlandırılan yeni bir döneme girmiştir. AKP’nin AB üyelik vizyonundan kademeli olarak uzaklaşması ve genel demokratik gerileme, sivil alanın daralmasının arkasındaki ana nedenler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ancak sivil toplumun mevcut sorunlarını açıklamada yapısal ve bağlamsal yerel faktörlere odaklanan savlar, resmin bir bölümüne ışık tutmaktadır. Sivil toplumun AB içinde karşı karşıya kaldığı sorunların, özellikle de demokratik gerilemenin bir sonucu olarak sivil alanın dünya genelinde daralmasının da altı çizilmelidir. Böyle bir bakış açısı, yalnızca karşılaştırmalı analiz için bir temel sağlamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda AB'nin Türkiye’deki sivil toplumun üzerindeki etkisini sınırlayan daha geniş dinamiklerinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına da yardımcı olur.Article Citation Count: 0Avrupa’da Dijital Etik, İnsan Hakları Bağlamında Yapay Zekâ ve Algoritmik Ayrımcılık(2024) Köseoğlu, Nihan Akıncılar; Çetin, BelginMakale, Yapay Zekâ (YZ) kaynaklı insan hakları ihlallerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. YZ kullanımının etik çerçeve içinde gerçekleşmediği durumlarda insan hakları ihlallerinin ortaya çıktığını/çıkacağını iddia eden bu makale, önce YZ etiği ve dijital etik kavramlarının üzerinde durmaktadır. Makalenin kapsamı gereği, YZ etiğini meydana getiren Avrupa’da YZ ve insan hakları konulu yasal düzenlemeler temel alınmakta; ayrıca hakime/avukata ve bireylere yardımcı olan YZ uygulamalarından kısaca bahsedilerek, Avrupa’daki robot hakim uygulamalarına odaklanılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla makalenin sınırlılığı kapsamında, dijital etik ve YZ etiğinden bahsedildikten sonra, insan hakları bağlamında yapay zekâ kullanımı, başta Avrupa Birliği (AB) olmak üzere, OECD ve Avrupa Konseyi’nin hazırladığı yasal düzenlemeler, yapay zekâdan kaynaklanan insan hakları ihlalleri, yapay zekâ uygulamalarının ayrımcılık yasağı üzerindeki etkileri ve yeni bir ayrımcılık türü olarak algoritmik ayrımcılık konularına değinilmektedir. Türkiye’deki akademik çalışmalara bakıldığında, algoritmik ayrımcılık konulu henüz yeterli çalışma bulunmadığından, makalenin sunacağı akademik katkı yenilikçi olacaktır. Bu konuda -özellikle son birkaç yılda azımsanmayacak sayıda- Türkçe yayınlanmış diğer çalışmalar incelendiğinde, sanal mahkemeler, hakime/avukata ya da bireylere yardımcı olan yapay zekâ ve robot hakim yapay zekâ uygulamalarının tüm dünya genelindeki örneklerinin ele alındığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın özgün değeri, YZ kaynaklı insan hakları ihlallerini önlemek için Avrupa’da YZ etiğinin oluşturulma sürecine odaklanmasındadır. Sonuç olarak, Avrupa’da YZ etik kurallarının oluşturulması, yaygınlaştırılması ve uygulanması süreci tamamlanmadıkça YZ kaynaklı insan hakları ihlallerinin devam edeceği kanısına varılmaktadır.Article Citation Count: 0Bibliometric Analysis of Publications on Stigmatization in Psychiatric Nursing Literature(Kare Publ, 2024) Dikeç, Gül; Saritas, Merve; Oban, Volkan; Hemşirelik BölümüObjectives: In the past two decades, the number of publications on stigma has increased in the literature. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications related to stigmatization in the psychiatric nursing literature. Methods: In this study, a search was performed on the PubMed database on September 11, 2022, with the Medical Searching Terms "(Stigmatization [Title OR Abstract] OR Social Stigma [Title OR Abstract]) OR (Stigma [Title OR Abstract] OR Stereotyping [Title OR Abstract] OR Discrimination [Title OR Abstract]) AND (Psychiatric Nursing [Title OR Abstract] OR Nursing [Title OR Abstract])." Between 1990 and 2022, 10,571 studies published in English, available in full text, and published in journals indexed with SCI, SSCI, and ESCI were found. Results: The number of published articles reached the highest number in 2020, with an increase of 4.05 times in 30 years; it was determined that 92.8% of the publications were of the descriptive study, and Happell was the most productive author in this field. Frequently, articles were published in the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing (n=762), Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services (n=550), International Journal of Mental Health Nursing (n=480), Issues in Mental Health Nursing (n=445), and Journal of Advanced Nursing (n=429). It was determined that the top five most frequently repeated keywords were humans, female, psychiatric nursing, male, and adult, respectively. Conclusion: The findings obtained from this study can provide information about the number of publications, research types, researchers, and institutions, as well as give ideas for new research strategies in psychiatric nursing literature. Establishing cooperation between institutions and authors can guide psychiatric nurses in creating projects to reduce stigma.Article Citation Count: 0Brain in Metabolic Syndrome Model: the Effect of Exercises and Caloric Restriction(Marmara Univ, 2022) Şener, Göksel; Genc-Kahraman, Nevin; Ipekci, Hazal; Ustundag, Unsal Veli; Tunali-Akbay, Tugba; Emekli-Alturfan, Ebru; Yarat, Aysen; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüCaloric restriction (CR) and exercise (EX) have impacts on improving metabolic risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the brain after EX and/or CR in metabolic syndrome (MeS) induced by a high fructose diet in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into five groups. Drinking water including 10% fructose solution was given to rats for 12 weeks to develop a MeS rat model. Animals with MeS were submitted to EX and/or CR for 6 weeks. Blood glucose, and brain tissue damage and antioxidant parameters were measured. Brain lipid peroxidation, sialic acid, mucin, fucose levels increased in the MeS group compared to the control (C) group. These parameters reduced significantly in the metabolic syndrome with caloric restriction (MeS+CR) group, and more significantly in the metabolic syndrome with exercise and caloric restriction group (MeS+EXCR), compared to the MeS group. Glutathione levels, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities decreased in the MeS group compared to the C group, increased both in the MeS+CR group, and MeS+EXCR group compared to the MeS group. High fructose diet consumption can lead to brain tissue damage and decreased antioxidant levels were found to be improved best in the MeS+EXCR group.Article Citation Count: 0The Challenges Experienced by International Nursing Students in Nursing Education: a Qualitative Study(Ataturk Univ, 2024) Elmali Simsek, Hulya; Karali, Ece; Arslan, GunayObjective: The study aimed to determine the challenges experienced by international nursing undergraduate students during their education period. Methods: A phenomenological research design was used. The study was conducted with 20 international nursing students enrolled in a foundation university in T & uuml;rkiye.

Conclusion: It has been observed that students experience different environments, uncertainties, and various challenges, and that these situations directly affect their education and success. To that end, both the institutions they receive education and the academicians must support the students in various ways.Article Citation Count: 1Chatgpt as a Solution To Emotional Loneliness: a New Tool for Interpersonal Communication(Marmara Univ, Fac Communication, 2024) Sarioglu, Elif Basak; Guregen, Esra PelinLoneliness stands as one of the most pervasive and universal health issues in contemporary society. This study, conducted within the scope of emotional loneliness, delves into the nuances of loneliness, understanding its origin and how it manifests in individuals. In the research where students from the Faculty of Communication of a foundation university in Istanbul were chosen as the sample, the data collected through in-depth interviews, a qualitative data collection tool, were analyzed using content analysis method. This phenomenological research design aimed to assess participants' attitudes toward utilizing a chatbot (ChatGPT) as a tool to combat emotional loneliness. Despite their generally positive disposition and strong tendency to anthropomorphize, participants were found to approach the use of ChatGPT with caution. The majority harbored negative judgments about ChatGPT and technological tools meeting emotional and social needs. However, a significant portion believes that the widespread adoption of ChatGPT and similar tools for socialization is imminent in the near future. Concerns predominantly revolve around mistrust in artificial intelligence technologies' ability to meet emotional needs and the potential harms they could inflict on socio-cultural life, with ethical issues forming another major theme. Notably, when expressing their apprehensions, participants frequently referenced artificial intelligence representations in popular culture, such as films, series, and games.Article Citation Count: 0Child And Adolescent Mindfulness Measure Turkish Validity And Reliability Study;(Galenos Publishing House, 2024) Bilaç, Ö.; Dikeç, G.; Akyol, C.K.; Kale, M.K.; Sapmaz, Ş.Y.; Kandemir, H.; Aydemir, Ö.Objectives: The number of studies on mindfulness in children and adolescents has rised in recent years, and it is crucial to evaluate the mindfulness-based interventions applied with standardized measurement tools. This aim of this study was to make the Turkish language validity and reliability of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), which can be used in children and adolescents about mindfulness, which has been very well-liked in recent years, and which has validity and reliability in many languages, and to bring it into our language for the ages of 9-18. Materials and Methods: The total sample of the current study consisted of 156 children and adolescents, 48 of whom were children and adolescents with any mental disorderdiagnosis according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5). One hundred eight of them did not have any mental disorders diagnosis according to DSM-5, who had only periodic problems or were brought for counseling. Results: In the reliability analysis of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.76 for the whole scale. In test-retest reliability two weeks apart, the two measurements have a strong correlation between the measurements (r=0.634 p<0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings show that the Turkish version of the CAMM is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the 9-18 age group. © 2024, Galenos Publishing House.

Complications can vary from simple local peritonitis to death, and various techniques have been described to prevent them. In this study, we compared two different stenting methods used in biliary tract anastomosis in living-donor liver transplantation. Material and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 41 living-donor liver transplantations that were performed due to end-stage liver failure between August 2019 and November 2020. Patients were grouped according to the stenting technique used in biliary anastomosis. Postoperative biliary tract complications were investigated. Results: Biliary fistulas were observed in 2 (7.4%) patients in the internal stent group, while 4 (28.5) fistulas were observed in the external stent group. Biliary tract stricture was observed in 2 (7.4%) patients in the internal stent group, but there was no statistical difference in complications. The preoperative MELD score (p = 0.038*) was found to be statistically significant in regard to developing complications. Conclusion: Our study did not show the effect of stenting methods used during biliary anastomosis on the development of complications. However, larger randomized controlled studies are needed. © TÜBİTAK.Article Citation Count: 2Data Mining the City: User Demands Through Social Media(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & design, 2021) Levent, Vecdi Emre; Levent, Vecdi Emre; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği BölümüPurpose Information technologies are commonly used in architectural and urban design. The use of these technologies providing support at every stage of the design opens up different perspectives for designers and users. The aim of the study is to obtain user demands for green spaces of a specific district by mining data through social media and to detect the actual green spaces of the same district using applications developed for this purpose. User demands for design decisions and applications of green spaces and the current situation of the study area are evaluated. Design/Methodology/Approach The research is firstly realized through social media, and data obtained from Twitter is analysed in order to evaluate user demands for parks and green spaces of Atasehir district in Istanbul City. Secondly, all green areas in the same district are detected by using digital maps. Two applications are specifically designed for this research; Tweet Grabber is used for user sentiment analysis on social media and Map Grabber is processed for extraction of green spaces via maps. The total area of the green spaces is compared with the desired area of open and green spaces per user. Findings The user demands and thoughts obtained in the study about the green spaces of the district are compatible with the actual situation of green spaces. It is observed that the users are mostly dissatisfied with the adequacy of green spaces. Designers, politicians, municipalities and all stakeholders can benefit from the obtained user expectations and feedback. Interpreting user demands by mining data through social media enables user participation in design decisions. This research method can be supportive and adaptive in related issues of design for the cities, enabling user participation in architectural and urban design. Research Limitations/Implications Parks and green spaces of Atasehir district of Istanbul are taken as a case study. Twitter is chosen for mining of data in social media based on parameters such as keywords and location. Social/Practical Implications The impact and support of users in design decisions can be clearly demonstrated by advanced information technologies.

Therefore, it is possible to identify some of the central nervous diseases when somatosensory on the fingertip is stimulated and responses are recorded and analyzed. We designed a system to stimulate the mechanoreceptors on fingertips. It is composed of a mechanical system for fingertip stimulation, an embedded controller, a control computer, and a software to control overall operation. During test, mechanoreceptors are stimulated according to the test protocols. Individuals' answers are recorded to be evaluated by the developed software. In this study, several design approaches for embedded controller were also examined and an FPGA based controller with the same functionality but higher performance was implemented. A test procedure was performed on 51 individuals at the department of pediatric psychiatry in a hospital, to investigate whether the sex has an effect on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.Article Citation Count: 0Design Process and Digital Storytelling on the Axis of Similarities and Differences(Anadolu Univ, 2023) Yıldırım Coruk, İpek; İç Mimarlık Ve Çevre Tasarımı BölümüThe design process, which expresses the act of designing in line with a thought and the steps that make up the product resulting from this action, constitutes the essence of design education studio environments. The methods and thought approaches that can be followed in this process are always among the issues questioned. With the study, this issue is approached through digital stories. The fact that digital storytelling, which is a lot of research in terms of its contributions in education-related fields, hasn't yet taken place sufficiently in the field of design education constitutes the starting point of the study. So, the study created with qualitative research method aims to raise awareness of the space design education literature on digital storytelling. In order to gain this awareness, the similarities and differences of the digital storytelling and design process has analyzed. The study determined that the design process and digital storytelling intersect with aspects of making implicit information visible, occurring in line with a problem or starting point, and including similar process stages. However, differences exist between these two concepts. This result provides a theoretical framework for those who want to benefit from digital storytelling.
