This research aimed to validate an Emotion Regulation Training program cultivating resilience, strengthening interpersonal communication, and enhancing emotional intelligence. A community sample of 104 participants were assigned to either an intervention ( n = 51) or nonactive control ( n = 53) group matched by age and gender. In addition, data were gathered via a cognitive performance test conducted pre- and postmeasurement in a subset of the larger sample ( n = 19 intervention, n = 19 control). Results revealed reappraisal significantly increased in the intervention group, which was associated with a decrease in depressive symptomology, worry, and suppression, and a concurrent increase in overall mental well-being, supporting the validation of the Emotion Regulation Training program.

Grounded in self-determination theory, this research utilized structural equation modeling to investigate the relationship between reappraisal, mindfulness and life satisfaction, with positive affect hypothesized to mediate this relationship. The research was conducted with a sample of young adults that were studied due to elevated rates of psychopathology within this population. The results revealed that positive affect mediated this relationship, predicting 24% of the observed variance in life satisfaction in a sample of 370 undergraduate students. This research has practical implications for counselors and researchers working with college students, supporting the design of relevant intervention programs by providing theoretical support for the inclusion of mindfulness and cognitive reappraisal as strategies for emotional control.

Peritonitis is a common clinical problem in patients treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The most common microbiological factors causing peritonitis are Gram-positive (especially Staphylococcus spp.). Peritonitis with Rhizobium radiobacter (Agrobacterium radiobacter) is a rare infection in CAPD patients. Peritonitis due to R. radiobacter has been reported in our patient's dialysate culture who underwent CAPD for three years. We report the case of a 26-year-old female PD patient who had CAPD peritonitis due to R. radiobacter and successfully treated with intraperitoneal vancomycin and oral ciprofloxacin without relapses or removing the PD catheter.

Bu makale, Türkçede zarf-fiillerin görünüş değerlerini eşzamanlı bakış açısıyla ele alan betimsel bir çalışmadır. Zarf-fiiller, müstakil eklerce (-(y)Xp gibi) ya da birleşik biçimlerce (-(X)rken -DXğX için gibi) bir üst yapıya/cümleye altasıralı olarak bağlanan ve genelde belirteç işlevinde kullanılan yapılar olarak tarif edilmektedir. Sözdizimsel açıdan bağımlı olan bu yapıların zamansal işlevleri, tıpkı temel cümlelerde olduğu gibi, hep öne çıkarılmakta, ancak onların görünüş değerlerinden pek söz edilmemektedir. Dilbilgisel bir kategori olarak görünüş, olayların belli bir noktadan hareketle gözlemlenmesine imkan veren öznel bakış açılarını ifade eden bir kavramdır. İşte biz bu çalışmada, Johanson'un görünüş modelini temel alarak zarf-fiillerin görünüş değerlerini bir bütünsellik içinde betimlemek istedik. Türkçeden hareketle geliştirilen bu görünüş modeline göre, Türkçede üç değişik bakış açısı vardır: a) olayı iki sınırı arasında gösteren intraterminal bakış açısı, b) olayı kritik sınır aşıldıktan sonraki safhada yansıtan postterminal bakış açısı ve c) olayı kritik sınırı ulaşıldığında yakalayan adterminal bakış açısı. Bu çalışma, görünüş değerlerinin sadece bitimli cümleler bağlamında değil, aynı zamanda zarf-fiil cümlelerinde de söz konusu olabildiğini göstermektedir

Objectives: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick borne zoonotic infection. Up till now knowledge about pathogenesis of the disease is limited. Cytokine response is quite important during this infection. The aim of this study was to determine the serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and the interleukin-4 (IL-4) levels in patients with CCHF and compare with those of healthy controls. Materials and methods: Forty-two adult CCHF patients and 40 healthy subjects were included in this study. The diagnosis of CCHF was based upon anti-CCHF virus IgM positivity (ELISA method), and/or positivity in real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in acute phase serum samples. Serum TNF-α and IL-4 levels were determined by ELISA method. Results: In patients with CCHF the mean serum TNF-α level was significantly higher than the control group (15.01 vs. 7.69 pg/ml; p
