This article reflects on material objects and the practice of collecting as literary subject linked to the themes of memory and past in contemporary Turkish fiction. The analysis focuses mainly on Orhan Pamuk’s The Museum of Innocence considering the objects exhibited both in the novel and the museum as narrative texts of subjective and collective memories. In order to better understand Pamuk’s works we will preliminarily reconstruct the intertextual chain that preceded such a specific approach to material culture, having particular reference to Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s first novel Mahur Beste. By comparing both the authors’ poetics of objects we aim at highlighting the intimate reasons which made this subject a peculiar topos in modern Turkish literary tradition.

The study aimed to determine the place, orientation, and effectiveness of stress on the built environment in the scientific literature. Bibliographic analyses were conducted by searching the Web of Science database, selecting all fields, and using the keywords “stress” and “built environment” together. Researchers examined 1,157 publications related to stress and built environment according to research fields, year of publication, language, country of publication, publication category, publication type, publication indexes, and published sources with the help of charts. The data related to architecture were also considered. Researchers ran bibliographic map analyses in VOSviewer 1.6.19 software and Biblioshiny-R Studio programs to provide visual richness and create quality maps. The bibliographic map analysis included network analysis (co-author, co-occurrence of author keywords, citation), thematic analysis, and trend topic analysis. As a result, “stress” of usage was most prominent in engineering sciences, studies in architecture were limited, and the country with the highest number of publications and citations on the subject was the USA. The quality of life, COVID-19, heat stress, and machine learning concepts were the most used keywords in recent years.

Objetivo: Comparar los resultados de la retirada precoz y tardía de la sonda urinaria tras la cirugía de cáncer rectal. Método: Estudio prospectivo aleatorizado que incluyó pacientes sometidos a cirugía de cáncer rectal en un único centro. El momento de la retirada de la sonda urinaria se aleatorizó y se dividió en dos grupos: primeras 48 horas y después de 48 horas. Se compararon las tasas de retención urinaria y de nueva cateterización entre los pacientes con retirada precoz y tardía de la sonda. Resultados: Se incluyeron 66 pacientes, con una mediana de edad de 60 años (31-88 años) y predominio del sexo masculino (n = 40, 60.9%). Se produjo retención urinaria tras la retirada de la sonda en 8 (12%). No hubo diferencias entre los dos grupos en cuanto a necesidad de nueva cateterización (14% frente a 10%, p = 0.63). Todos los pacientes que precisaron un nuevo cateterismo (n = 8) y fueron dados de alta con una sonda urinaria (n = 4) eran varones. Conclusiones: La retirada precoz o tardía de la sonda no influye en la aparición de retención urinaria en pacientes intervenidos de cáncer de recto.

Since the treatability of Oriental spruce wood (Picea orientalis) with preservative solutions is difficult and considered as a refractory wood species, this study was intended to bring its treatability class by a bioincising process to the level of sapwood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), a desirable wood species for the forest products industry. Bioincising process by Physisporinus vitreus fungus was applied to wood samples from sapwood and heartwood portions of spruce wood. The samples with two different weight loss groups (5–10 % and 10–15 %) in the bioincising process were used to detect changes in treatability with wood preservative solutions caused by the fungus. The bioincised and unincised control samples were treated with either micronized copper quat (MCQ) or alkaline copper quat type D (ACQ-D) wood preservative solutions by either dipping or vacuum methods. Following impregnation with the preservative solutions, the effects of the bioincising process on CuO (copper oxide) retention, and the leaching of Cu (copper) element were determined. The results showed that CuO retention levels increased after the bioincising process. Moreover, there was greater CuO retention in the spruce heartwood samples compared to the spruce and Scots pine sapwood samples. Amount of Cu element released from the Scots pine sapwood samples was found to be lower than that from the spruce sapwood and heartwood samples after the bioincising. process. The results suggest that the bioincising process by P. vitreus in refractory wood species might improve the treatability of wood by Cu-based wood preservatives.

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les retraductions interlinguales et intralinguales de l’œuvre Les Misérables (Sefiller en turc) en Turquie. En ce qui concerne les retraductions interlinguales durant l’Empire ottoman et leurs retraductions intralinguales dans la Turquie moderne, l’accent est mis sur les différents motifs de la retraduction. Pour ce faire nous recourons aux paratextes des retraductions en question. Cet article se veut explorer les empreintes des acteurs littéraires dans la publication de cette œuvre qui entre sur le territoire turc en 1862, année de sa publication en France. Depuis, ce roman a été retraduit plusieurs fois, devenant l’un des ouvrages les plus retraduits en Turquie. Étant donné que l’ouvrage connaît différents concepts traductologiques tels que les retraductions interlinguales et intralinguales, ces concepts traductologiques sont étudiés dans ce travail tout en accordant de l’importance à des acteurs comme le traducteur, le propriétaire de la maison d’édition et les critiques. En cherchant le « pourquoi » de la retraduction des Misérables en Turquie, dans cet article, différentes retraductions ainsi que les raisons de leurs existences dans le contexte turc sont mises en avant par le biais des paratextes afin de dresser le panorama des retraductions interlinguales et intralinguales du chef-d’œuvre de Hugo.

Abstract Background Thoracic paravertebral block can provide analgesia for unilateral chest surgery and is associated with a low complication rate. Horner syndrome also referred to as oculosympathetic paresis, is a classic neurologic constellation of ipsilateral blepharoptosis, pupillary miosis, and facial anhidrosis resulting from disruption of the sympathetic pathway supplying the head, eye, and neck. Case report We present a patient with an ipsilateral transient Horner syndrome after ultrasound guided single shot of 15 mL 0.25% levobupivacaine for thoracic paravertebral block at T5–6 level. Conclusions It should be kept in mind that even a successful ultrasound guided single shot thoracic paravertebral block can be complicated with Horner syndrome due to unpredictable distribution of the local anesthetic.

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are defined as malignantB-cell proliferations presenting with cutaneous involvement alone and no evidence of extracutaneous manifestationswhen complete staging has been performed. Primary cutaneous folicul centre cell lymphoma (PCFCCL) is a relatively rare entity. Here, we report a 66-year-old female patient presented with six mounts history of erythematous papules and nodules over the skin of neck and body PCFCCL was diagnosed by skin biopsies. No evidence of systemic involvement was present at the time of diagnosis. She was not taken terapy but ones six mounts was done control and she hasn’t got new lesions. Twelve months later she remains asymptomatic.

Introduction: Aims of the study to investigate the frequency and the nature ofnail disorders in children significant clinical data is available. Nail disorders although common in children in some parts of our country. This study was carried out to document the clinical and demographic pattern of nail disorders in a dermatology outpatient clinic of a pediatric hospital in Ankara, Turkey. Material and Methods: All consecutive patients a total of 3000 children from age 0-16 were admitted to dermatology outpatient clinic of Ankara Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Education and Research Hospital during January 2011 to December 2011 were studied and retrospectively evaluated for age, gender, drug use, diseases, systemic or genetic disorders and demographic features. Diagnostic evaluation results were noted and patients were categorized for demographic features and diagnosis. Results: These 133 patients (M: F 58:75, %44 vs 56, respectively) were under 16 years of age and have 17 different dermatological disorders related with nail symptoms. Fifty three of (39,8%) these patient were under 2 years of age, 31 (23.3%) were between 3-5 years, 30 (22.5%) were between 6-11 years old, 19 of 133 (14%), 2 were between 11-16 years of age. Through all of ages and independent of gender the most etiologies of nail disorders were, onychomadesis, paronychia, onycholysis, onychomycosis and systemic nail presentation of systemic dermatosis. Conclusion: Nail disorders are different in children than in adults. In our study, the first 5 years of age was found in 53% of nail disorders. Nail disorders are uncommon but may be seen as a part of a systemic disease and may be associated with cosmetic and psychologic problem.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver uma técnica simples e prática para a cateterização crônica em canal peridural sacral de coelhos. MÉTODOS: O estudo incluiu dez coelhos com peso entre 2 e 2,5 kg. Após a anestesia e a analgesia, colocamos um cateter peridural através de uma incisão longitudinal de 2 cm na cauda acima da região do hiato sacral. Confirmamos a localização com a administração de lidocaína a 1% (nivelamento da perda sensorial e da função motora dos membros inferiores). O cateter foi introduzido através de um túnel subcutâneo até o pescoço, onde foi fixado. RESULTADOS: A implantação de cateter crônico peridural caudal foi bem-sucedida em todos os coelhos. Os cateteres permaneceram eficazmente no lugar por dez dias, sem intercorrências durante esse período. A localização do cateter foi reconfirmada por lidocaína a 1% no último dia. Após matar os animais, procedeu-se laminectomia para localização do cateter no espaço peridural. CONCLUSÕES: Há vários métodos de cateterização do espaço peridural em modelos animais na literatura. A cateterização do espaço peridural em coelhos pode ser feita através das vias atlanto-occipital, lombar ou caudal por amputação da cauda. As técnicas de cateterização intratecal e peridural descritas na literatura exigem perícia cirúrgica e conhecimento de procedimentos cirúrgicos, como laminectomia e amputação da cauda. A nossa técnica não requer grande habilidade cirúrgica, a integridade anatômica foi preservada e não houve mau posicionamento de cateter. Em conclusão, podemos sugerir que a nova técnica de cateterização peridural é simples, facilmente aplicável e pode ser usada em estudos experimentais de modelos animais.

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the effects of three different doses of gabapentin pretreatment on the incidence and severity of myoclonic movements linked to etomidate injection. Method: One hundered patients, between 18 and 60 years of age and risk category American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II, with planned elective surgery under general anesthetic were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into four groups and 2 h before the operation were given oral capsules of placebo (Group P, n = 25), 400 mg gabapentin (Group G400, n = 25), 800 mg gabapentin (Group G800, n = 25) or 1200 mg gabapentin (Group G1200, n = 25). Side effects before the operation were recorded. After preoxygenation for anesthesia induction 0.3 mg kg−1 etomidate was administered for 10 s. A single anesthetist with no knowledge of the study medication evaluated sedation and myoclonic movements on a scale between 0 and 3. Two minutes after induction, 2 µg kg−1 fentanyl and 0.8 mg kg−1 rocuronium were administered for tracheal intubation. Results: Demographic data were similar. Incidence and severity of myoclonus in Group G1200 and Group G800 were significantly lower than in Group P; sedation incidence and level were appreciably higher compared to Group P and Group G400. While there was no difference in the incidence of myoclonus between Group P and Group G400, the severity of myoclonus in Group G400 was lower than in the placebo group. In the two-hour period before induction other than sedation none of the side effects related to gabapentin were observed in any patient. Conclusion: Pretreatment with 800 mg and 1200 mg gabapentin 2 h before the operation increased the level of sedation and reduced the incidence and severity of myoclonic movements due to etomidate.

Abstract Background: It was aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative anxiety and vasovagal symptoms observed during the administration of spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery in the perianal and inguinal regions. Methods: The study included patients with planned surgery for inguinal hernia repair, anal fissure, hemorrhoid and pilonidal sinus excision. The study included a total of 210 patients of ASA I-II, aged 18-65 years. Patients were evaluated in respect of demographic characteristics, smoking and alcohol consumption, ASA grade and educational level. Correlations were evaluated between the number of attempts at spinal anesthesia and anesthesia history with vasovagal symptoms and educational level, gender, smoking and alcohol consumption and anesthesia history with anxiety scores. The instant (transient) state anxiety inventory part of the Transient State/Trait Anxiety Inventory (State Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAI) was used to determine the anxiety levels of the participants. Clinical findings of peripheral vasodilation, hypotension, bradycardia and asystole observed during the administration of spinal anesthesia were recorded. Results: Vasovagal incidences during the administration of spinal anesthesia were seen to increase in cases of high anxiety score, male gender, and an absence of anesthesia history. Educational level and the number of spinal needle punctures were not found to have any effect on vasovagal incidents. Conclusion: The determination of causes triggering vasovagal incidents seen during the application of spinal anesthesia, better patient information of regional anesthesia implementations and anxiety relief with preoperative anxiolytic treatment will help to eliminate potential vasovagal incidents.

The study was carried to investigate the effect of myo–inositol supplementation on feed physicochemical structure and viral load of dry cat food contaminated with inactive SARS–CoV–2 by simulating sneezing. The most natural infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV–2) in animals is related to close contact with their owners with COVID–19 which is handling, taking care and feeding them. SARS–CoV–2 can survive on food, fomites and surfaces for extended periods related to environmental conditions. Many natural feed additives and supplements have been a candidate in recent antiviral treatment strategies against COVID–19. In this study, myo–inositol which is permitted in animal nutrition was used at different concentrations (0, 12.5, 25 and 50 mg·100 g-1 cat food) and conditions (22°C at room temperature and 4°C in the refrigerator) to investigate its effects on feed physicochemical structure and viral load of dry cat food contaminated with inactive SARS–CoV–2 by simulating sneezing. For the interactions between myo–inositol, feed structure and viral load, dry matter, moisture, water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), pH and virus gene copy (GC) by RT–qPCR were measured. As only storage temperature affected both WAI and WSI as expected, myo–inostol supplementation dose–dependently decreased gene copy in dry cat food (IC50:366.4–581.5 mg·100 g-1 cat food) at 22°C storage temperature. Virus GC did not correlate with the dry matter, moisture content, pH and WAI after the 30 min contact time (except WSI). In conclusion, myo–inositol as a feed additive might have the potential to control serious viral infections such as COVID–19 for human–animal interactions in a One–Health context.

The aim of this study was to carry out the morphological characterization of the Tabby cat’s hard palate by light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in addition to gross and morphometric analysis. A total of 20 Tabby cat heads used. The materials was provided from the Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality Street Animals Temporary Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center, Balıkesir, Turkey. Adult, regardless of gender difference, died from variety of reasons and 20 Tabby cat cadavers which weigh approximately 3–4 kg were brought to the laboratory in accordance with the procedure. Hard palates were subjected to gross examination, morphometric analysis, light and SEM.The Tabby cats hard palate was split up rostral and caudal parts and incisive papilla (papilla incisive), rugae palatine and with a gutter between them, the presence of palatine raphe and secondary rugae palatine were observed. The rostral and caudal parts of the hard palate were determined to have a smooth appearance with SEM 540X magnification and the presence of epithelial desquamations was found out. It was determined that the rostral and caudal part of the Tabby cat’s hard palate had a honeycomb appearance of the microplicae of the 3000X magnification hard palate epithelium with SEM. Round islets were detected with the SEM at the magnification of 600X of the incisive papilla, the 270X of the rostral–caudal parts and the 44X of the gutter between the palatine rugae. These adaptations of the Tabby cat’s hard palate might increase its efficiency during ingestion and mastication of hard food and in directing the food backward. The study shows the detailed anatomical description of the hard palate of the Tabby cat with light and SEM.

La leucemia mieloide aguda (AML, por sus siglas en inglés) es una enfermedad muy heterogénea. Aunque se puede clasificar a los pacientes en grupos de riesgo según sus mutaciones genéticas, el pronóstico dentro de cada categoría varía sustancialmente. Es perentorio identificar nuevos marcadores moleculares de la AML. Recientemente, se ha descrito la elevación del inhibidor de la serina peptidasa Kazal tipo 2 (SPINK2) en la AML, habiendo sido relacionada con peores resultados clínicos en metaanálisis, así como en un número limitado de pacientes con AML.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous disease. Although patients can be classified into risk groups based on their genetic changes, the prognosis of disease within these categories varies widely. This situation raises the need to search for new molecular markers related to AML. Serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 2 (SPINK2) has recently been reported to be upregulated in AML and associated with poor outcomes by meta-analysis and in a limited number of AML patients.

Objective. This study was conducted retrospectively to assess the cystic echinococcosis status of farm animals from the samples sent to Samsun Veterinary Control Institute of the Republic of Türkiye, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, between January 2016 and December 2022. Materials and Methods. A total of 818 sheep, 160 goats, and 990 cattle necropsy materials were examined macroscopically and histopathologically according to World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) guidelines. Cysts were detected in 61 of examined materials. Results. The rate of total cystic echinococcosis positivity in farm animals was found to be 3.1% in northern Türkiye. Cysts were detected in at least one of the liver and lungs. It was detected in the liver in 24 cases (39.3%), the lung in 23 cases (37.7%), and both the lung and liver in 11 cases (18%). In addition, cysts were found in both of lung and spleen (1 case), kidney and liver (1 case), and heart and liver (1 case). The positivity rate was higher in sheep than in other ruminants, and the difference with other ruminant species was statistically significant. (p

This article examines the current politico-economic developments in Turkey through the lens of the effects of the Syrian war. The empirical focus of my discussion is an export city bordering Syria, Gaziantep. The city has been radically shaped by not only the migration waves from Syria in the wake of the Syrian war but also the broader re/structuring effects of the Iraqi war and a low-intensity war in the last 30 years. In Turkey, wars have always been essential reference points for local and national economic agents to build different nation-framed economic discourses. In the last decade, we observe a new form of economic nationalism that is expansionist and outward-oriented – contrary to discussions associating the term with inward-oriented economic policies. Turkey’s assumed role in the reconstitution of the Syrian economy and its aspired position in the Middle East as a political and economic center constitutes a crucial symbolic horizon in this nationalist economic discourse. By comparing this new expansionist economic nationalism with other dominant forms, the article concludes that economic nationalisms of the political center resonate strongly in local economies. They re/define not only the desirable migrant but also economic subjects, in general, creating novel sources of accumulation and dispossession.

Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue presentar el método de diagnóstico y tratamiento de un carcinoma de Meibomio extraordinario en una vaca. Materiales y métodos. Una vaca Holstein de 5 años presentó una masa en el párpado inferior derecho con signos oculares de secreción mucopurulenta, hiperemia conjuntival y malestar ocular. En la exploración física se constató que el estado general era bueno, pero había una masa en el tercer párpado. La masa que surge de la superficie interna del párpado inferior derecho se extirpó quirúrgicamente y se examinó histopatológicamente. Resultados. La masa tumoral se definió como carcinoma de Meibomio después del examen microscópico. Conclusiones. El carcinoma de Meibomio es una enfermedad rara que muestra ciertas características de malignidad, como invasión y pleomorfismo, así como mitosis. Se puede considerar que la presentación de este caso contribuye a la literatura, ya que se trata de un tumor poco común en el ganado bovino; hasta donde sabemos, es el primer informe de un caso que se origina en el tercer párpado y la escisión quirúrgica amplia fue suficiente para el tratamiento.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant mental health impact in the United States of America and around the world. Objective: To assess some of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of U.S. adult population, as well as the relationship between the average number of new COVID-19 cases and the average frequency of symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anxiety or depression between April 23 and October 26, 2020. Materials and methods: Retrospective study. Psychosocial and demographic data were obtained from the Household Pulse Survey community-based website. Data about the number of new COVID-19 cases detected in the USA during the study period were taken from the Our World in Data website. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the strength of the relationships between the average of new COVID-19 cases during the study period and the average frequency of symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anxiety or depression. These correlations were also assessed in a subgroup analysis (sex, age group, education level, and ethnicity). Results: A total of 1 351 911 U.S. adults completed the survey. The average rates of depression, anxiety, and anxiety or depression symptoms were 25.7±1.6%, 31.9±2.0%, and 36.8±2.0%, respectively. The average number of new COVID-19 cases was positively correlated with the mean frequency of anxiety, depression, and anxiety or depression symptoms (r=0.858, r=0.710, and r=0.887; p

This study examines how ethical leadership influences school effectiveness via the mediating role of affective commitment and job satisfaction. For this purpose, 306 teachers completed measures of ethical leadership, affective commitment, job satisfaction, and school effectiveness. The results supported the hypothesized positive links of ethical leadership to affective commitment, job satisfaction, and school effectiveness. The results also revealed that work attitudes (i.e., affective commitment and job satisfaction) partially mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and school effectiveness, indicating both direct and indirect effects of ethical leadership on school effectiveness. In light of these findings, a number of recommendations were given for further research, specifically regarding school administrative research and applications.

Combining images and words when relating to a city has a long history; in Istanbul’s case, it has its roots in the Orientalist tradition and in the great journeys to the “East.” For the Istanbul of the twenty-first century, the most renowned combination of photography and literature is Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul: Memories and the City (2003), a portrait of the writer as a young artist accompanied with black-and-white photographs of Istanbul. Pamuk’s use of the photographs of Ara Güler draws from the tradition of travel writing and autobiography, documenting both the lost city and, conversely, endowing the melancholy of the narrative with a reality effect that is difficult to trace in writing. This paper discusses Pamuk’s use of photography in the memoir to address how his work supplies a heterogeneous archive of memories which both preserves and transforms the entangled pasts and presents of the city.

This research attempted to explore to what level children’s right to participation was realized at a primary school which is highly qualified in terms of children’s rights in Turkey. The study was designed as a case study. The study group of the research was chosen via critical case sampling. The data were gathered through observations, interviews and document analysis. The data were analyzed by conducting content and descriptive analysis. In the research, children’s right to participation related 15 different contexts, of which three were laws, were determined at the primary school which is highly qualified in terms of children’s rights. It was revealed that the realization level of children’s right to participation changed in different classrooms based on teachers’ attitudes and beliefs. The results of the research demonstrated that there was a difference in children’s right to participation at the primary school which is highly qualified in terms of children’s rights ranging from the level at which children were not involved to the level at which children participated in decision-making processes.

Las Cuestiones Sicilianas son el primer texto conservado del filósofo y sufí Ibn Sab‘īn de Murcia (c. 614/1217-668/1270). Aunque el prólogo del texto pretende que se trata de respuestas a preguntas mandadas por Federico II al mundo árabe, parece más probable que se trate de un manual introductorio para estudiantes árabes de filosofía, discutiendo cuatro problemas específicos y controvertidos como manera de presentar conceptos generales de la filosofía aristotélica. Este artículo analiza la estructura y la manera de argumentar en las Cuestiones Sicilianas. Dedica su atención en particular a la relación entre el Sufismo y la filosofía y a las fuentes del texto, sobre todo los textos filosóficos de Ibn Rušd. Interpreta a Ibn Sab‘īn y sus Cuestiones Sicilianas como un reflejo del ambiente intelectual en el Oeste del Mediterráneo durante los últimos años de los Almohades. El texto fue posiblemente compuesto en un contexto que tenía que ver con los ṭalaba, y refleja también unos aspectos claves de la ideología Almohade.
