Article The Relation Between Personality Traits and Chemotherapy Symptoms of Cancer Patients(Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2025) Özkan, İlknur; Taylan, Seçil; Eroglu, Nermın; Kolac, NurcanObjective:This study is important as it is one of the first studies to evaluate the relationship between personality traits and symptoms. Methods:This study was planned as descriptive and cross-sectional. The study was conducted with 468 patients who were voluntary to participate in the study and applied to the chemotherapy unit in a private oncology hospital in Istanbul between January-June 2019. Data were obtained using the Patient Information Form, Chemotherapy Symptom Assessment Scale (C-SAS), and Big Five Inventory. Results:The data were evaluated on computer environment. The mean age of the patients was 59.46±11.78 years, 59.8% are female, 35.7% were secondary school graduate, and 36.5% were housewives.When the mean scores of the big five inventory were examined, it was found that the mean scores were 29.72±3.38 in Extraversion subscale, 28.31±5.62 in Agreeableness subscale, 27.14±4.44 in Conscientiousness subscale, 25.26±3.31 in Neuroticism subscale, and 28.31±5.62 in Openness subscale. One-unit increase in neuroticism was determined to increase post-treatment nausea by 1.14 times, diarrhea by 1.28 times, change in sexual life by 1.14 times, feeling pessimistic and sad by 1.071 times, and feeling anxious and distressed by 1.08 times. Conclusion:It was observed that the personality traits of cancer patients were correlated with the symptoms they experienced related to chemotherapy and the symptoms decreased with the increase of openness, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness characteristics and the symptoms increased with the increase of neuroticism characteristic.These results indicated that healthcare professionals should consider personnel characteristics of cancer patients while evaluating the symptoms they experienced and providing care.Article The Current Face of Mosaic Art: Flacking Istanbul Examples(Bursa Uludag University, 2025) Ural, A.G.French artist Ememem is an anonymous artist who started producing his artworks in the city of Lyon in 2016. The unknown street artist brought a contemporary perspective to the art of mosaic by decorating or patching the sidewalks with mosaic art. The term ‘flacking’, which he developed to express the combination of various fields such as upcycling, street art, mosaic art, is becoming increasingly common and attracting the attention of local municipalities. The aim of this study is to discuss the art of flacking, which is a face of mosaic art, which is a very old branch of art, derived from current terms. In terms of scope, examples from Istanbul will be tried to be found and compared with foreign examples. French artist Ememem is an anonymous artist who started producing his artworks in the city of Lyon in 2016. The unknown street artist brought a contemporary perspective to the art of mosaic by decorating or patching the sidewalks with mosaic art. The term ‘flacking’, which he developed to express the combination of various fields such as upcycling, street art, mosaic art, is becoming increasingly common and attracting the attention of local municipalities. The aim of this study is to discuss the art of flacking, which is a face of mosaic art, which is a very old branch of art, derived from current terms. Examples from around the world show how mosaic art can be transformed into impressive and meaningful projects in public spaces. However, it has been seen that modern mosaic trials are still insufficient in our country. It has been determined that for the development of mosaic art, various courses, workshops, contemporary examples to be applied in public spaces and initiatives should be made in order not to lose this valuable art. © (2025), All Rights Reserved.Article Post Challenge Effects of Ozg-38.61.3 Gamma Irradiated SARS-CoV Vaccine on Organ Protection in Transgenic Mouse Model(Marmara University, Institute of Health Sciences, 2025) Telci, Dilek; Akpınar, Gürler; Tuğlu, Mehmet İbrahim; Ovalı, Ercüment; Oztatlıcı, Hulya; Şahin, Fikrettin; Demir, Sevda; Kancagi, Derya Dilek; Turan, Raife Dilek; Oztatlici, Mustafa; Karakus, Gozde Sir; Yurtsever, BulutObjective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) and virus-related deaths are increasing day by day. For this reason, vaccine studies and their urgent use are of great importance to prevent the pandemic. In this study, multi-organ damages caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus in human- angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2) transgenic mice and the protective effects of OZG-38.61.3 gamma irradiated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against viral damage were investigated. Methods: For this purpose, transgenic K18-hACE2 BALB/c mice were randomly allocated into 4 groups, negative control group (NC), positive control group (PC, SARS-CoV-2 infected), and 2 different doses of OZG-38.61.3 vaccine (Challenge 1, dose of 10 13 and Ch2, 10 14 viral particle after SARS-CoV-2 infection). After the administrations, lung, heart and kidney tissues were examined by histopathological, immunohistochemical and TUNEL analysis. Results: Our results showed that the vaccine doses decreased the apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation parameters caused by virus in lung, heart, and kidney tissues. It was also found that the vaccine protected the expressions of tight junction proteins in the kidneys. Conclusion: According to our findings, it is suggested that the OZG-38.61.3 can be an effective and protective vaccine that can be safely used against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.Correction Determining the Type 2 Diabetes Risks and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors of First Year University Students (Vol 6, Pg 420, 2022)(Dokuz Eylul Univ inst Health Sciences, 2023) Eroglu, Nermin; Temiz, GamzeArticle Nursing Students Thoughts and Knowledge Levels About Global Warming(Marmara Univ, inst Health Sciences, 2024) Gür, Kamer; Kolac, Nurcan; Çalık, Kesver Burcu; Nirgiz, Cansu; Doğan, RıdvanObjective: The aim of this study is to determine nursing students’ thoughts and knowledge levels about global warming. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 236 nursing students studying at the faculty of health sciences of a state university between May and July 2022. Data were collected using a Sociodemographic Form, the Global Warming Questionnaire. Independent Samples t-test, One-Way ANOVA were used to evaluate the data. Results: Ninety-seven percent of the students stated that global warming was a public health issue. Students’ mean score on the global warming knowledge scale was 90.02±8.76. There was a significant difference between the mean scale score participating in activities on the subject, having received information/education on environment, climate change aside from undergraduate education, wanting to become a member of an environmental non-governmental organization, and school year (p <.05). Conclusion: Participants’ knowledge level about global warming was above the average value of the scale. However, they still needed information, greater sensitivity to participate in environmental non-governmental organizations, global warming activities. For all these reasons, it is recommended that nursing students increase their knowledge and sensitivity during their undergraduate education, learn ways to combat the adverse effects of climate change, put them into practice.Article Citation - WoS: 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 - WoS: 3Need To Address the Gender Disparities in Neurosurgery in India(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Anand, Ayush; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Kathayat, Priyangi; Ansari, Ayesha; Aggarwal, Yash; Wahi, Riddhpreet Kaur; Rustagi, Sarvesh[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 2Analysis of Selected Steroid Hormones in Sea of Marmara Sediment Samples by Lc-esi/Ms-ms(Istanbul Univ, Fac Pharmacy, 2023) Aysel, Esra; Yurdun, TurkanBackground 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 Design Process and Digital Storytelling on the Axis of Similarities and Differences(Anadolu Univ, 2023) Yildirim Coruk, Ipek; Coruk, İpek YıldırımThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 5The Psycho-Social Effect of The Earthquake on Women in The Eartquake, One of The Disadvantaged Groups: a Qualitative Research(Mehmet Akif Ersoy Univ, 2023) Aydin, Gulsen Cetin; Aytac, SerpilDisasters are natural events that vary in severity and impact depending on the location. Disasters damage buildings, products, crops, the environment, people, animals, in short, everything animate and inanimate, and cause living beings to lose their lives regardless of time and place. Individuals are psychologically affected negatively by disasters such as earthquakes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psycho-social impact of the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaras in southeast Turkey on February 6, 2023, on women, one of the disadvantaged groups, in Turkey. As a result of the research, it was understood that the last earthquake disaster in Turkey had a significant impact on women, and how important psychological resilience is in being prepared for disasters. According to the results of the research, it was seen that women had difficulties in coping with the problems they faced during and after the earthquake, they faced stress/depression/anxiety, burnout and the regional conditions had a significant impact on this process. In this direction, it was observed that the earthquake negatively affected the women participating in the research, causing their psychological health disorders and causing depression symptoms.
