У статті визначено сутність та трансформацію сприйняття суспільством концепції споживання під час пандемії COVID19. Для аналізу концепції споживання автором використано метафори, які є важливим маккретинговим комунікаційним інструментом при визначенні та інтерпретації дефініцій. Метою дослідження є визначення зв’язку між споживанням та психічним самопочуттям споживачів під час пандемії. Теоретичний внесок та актуальність даної статті полягає у намаганні інтерпретувати концепцію споживання у свідомості людей під час пандемії. Оригінальність дослідження полягає у спробі виявити взаємозвʼязки між інтерпретаціями феномену споживання та психічним самопочуттям населення. Для метафоричної інтерпретації використано теорію концептуальної метафори, розроблену Лакоффом і Джонсоном у 1999 році. Автором наголошено, що метафоричний підхід є одним з альтернативних, який заснований на суб’єктивному досвіді, що дозволяє ідентифікувати та осмислити конкретні, широковживані та абстрактні поняття, а також символи чи елементи, які є складнішими для розуміння та сприйняття. Для визначення рівня психічного самопочуття споживачів застосовано шкалу психічного самопочуття Уорвіка-Едінбурга (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, WEMWBS). Усі метафори (розроблені та оцінені відносно концепції споживання) згруповано в три концептуальні категорії: "задоволення, ненаситність та марнославство", "необхідність і потреба", а також "звикання та шкідливість". Отримані результати засвідчили, що середній рівень психічного самопочуття всіх учасників оцінюється на рівні 53,46. У статті автором визначено, що за концептуальними категоріями, найнижчий рівень психологічного самопочуття виявлено у категорії "звикання та шкідливість". Автором встановлено, що учасники, які інтерпретували поняття споживання як "негативне", мали низький рівень психічного самопочуття. This study aims to examine the relationship between the interpretation of the consumption concept of individuals and their mental well-being levels during the pandemic period. Metaphors are the essential communication tools used in defining and interpreting the consumption concept. The effort to reveal the interpretations loaded on a complex and multidimensional concept such as individuals' consumption expresses the important contribution of this research. The fact that these interpretations were made during the pandemic turned individuals' lives upside-down increases the degree of contribution. The study's originality has been tried to be revealed by establishing a relationship between the interpretations of the consumption phenomenon of individuals and their mental well-being. The Conceptual Metaphor Theory developed by Lakoff and Johnson was used in metaphorical interpretation. The metaphorical approach, which is one of the alternative approaches based on subjective experiences, enables the comprehension of concrete and well-known concepts, abstract concepts, symbols, or elements that are more difficult and complex to understand. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) was used to determine the mental well-being levels of individuals. All the metaphors developed and evaluated regarding the concept of consumption have been grouped into three conceptual categories: "pleasure, insatiability and vanity", "necessity and requirement", and "addictive and harmful". In this study, the mental well-being average of all participants was calculated as 53.46. The lowest average was calculated in the "addictive and harmful" category according to conceptual categories in terms of mental well-being averages. It was determined that the mental well-being averages of the participants who interpreted the concept of consumption as "negative" were also low.

© 2018 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Union of Chemists in Bulgaria.In this study, a novel carbon paste electrode was prepared using the salt form of polyaniline (pani)-activated carbon composite sensitive to phenol. Polyphenol oxidase enzyme was immobilized to the modified carbon paste electrode by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The amperometric determination is based on the electrochemical reduction of o-quinone generated in the enzymatic reaction of phenol at -0.15 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The effects of pH and temperature were investigated and optimum values were found to be 8.0 and 45 °C, respectively. The linear working range of the electrode was 1.0×10-6 - 5.0×10-5 M, R2 =0.9819. The storage stability and operation stability of the enzyme electrode were also studied.

Ekolojik düşünce, biyoloji alanındaki gelişmelere dayalı analizlerinsosyal bilimlere yansıması bağlamında, yeni sol hareketlerle eklemlenerekortaya çıkan modern bir düşünce tarzıdır. Söz konusu düşünce, doğa ile insanarasındaki ilişkiyi evrensel bütünlüğün eşit bir bileşeni olarak insankavrayışına kaydırırken aynı insanın politik özne konumunu da tartışmayaaçmıştır. Yeni solun, doğaya tahakküm eden özneye odaklı analizleri,eko-anarşizmin önünü açarak Bookchin ve Kropotkin açısından ekolojik dengeye dayalıanarşist bir toplum önerisini de inşa eder. Marksizmden koparak eko-anarşizmekayan bu figürler, kapitalizm eleştirisi yaparak çevrecilikten farklı olarak,yeni bir toplum oluşturma iddiasında olmuştur. Bu makalede ekoloji hareketinihazırlayan bilimsel ve felsefi gelişmeler değerlendirilerek eko-anarşizmintoplum projesinin yapısal özellikleri analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bookchinve Kropotkin gibi sol ekolojistler meseleyi sınıf tartışmasından otoritekarşıtlığına kaydırmaları itibariyle ekolojiyi anarşist mevzidenyorumlamışlardır. İnsanın doğa üzerindeki tahakkümü, insanın insan üzerindekitahakkümüne yol açtığına göre insan üzerindeki otoritenin kırılması bu ilişkiyiçözmekle gerçekleşir. Dolayısıyla adem-i merkezi, biyo-bölgesel üretim tarzıylaiktidarı yerel cemaatlere devretmeyi öneren bu tavır sistemi yeniden üretençevrecilikten de ayrışır. Marksizmin toplumsal tahakküm ilişkileriniiçselleştiren emeğin sömürüsü kavramını terk ederek Marksizmden kopaneko-anarşistler köktenci kapitalizm eleştirisi üzerinden doğayı koruyan sanayifikrine yaslanan çevreciliğe de uzaktır. Doğada erekselliği reddedeneko-anarşizmin önerdiği yenidünyanın anahtarı kendiliğindenliğe dayalıekosistem olacaktır., Ecological notion is a modern wayof thinking arisen by joining to new left movements in the context ofreflection of the analyses depending on developments in the field of biology tosocial sciences. The notion in question both extract the relation betweennature and human to human understanding as an equal component of universalintegrity and open political subject state of human up for discussion. Newleft’s human centered analyses which dominate the nature build an anarchicalsociety offer of Bookchin and Kropotkin depending on ecological balance byleading up the eco-anarchism. These figures shifting from Marxism to eco-anarchismpurport to establish a new society, which is different from environmentalism bycriticizing the Capitalism. In this study, structural features of societyproject of eco-anarchism have been analyzed by evaluating scientific andphilosophical developments preparing the ecology movement. Left ecologistssuch as Bookchin and Kropotkin have interpreted the ecology in terms ofanarchist as they direct this matter from class discussion towards becominganti- authorization. As the human’s domination on the nature leads to thehuman’s domination on the human, breaking the authority on the human carriesout by means of solving this relationship. Accordingly, this attitude, whichsuggests transferring the power to local communities through the decentralizationand bio-regional mode of production differs from environmentalism reproducingthe system. The eco-anarchists leaving from Marxism by means of abandoning theconcept of exploitation of labor that internalizes Marxism's social dominationrelations are also away from environmentalism that relies on industry ideaprotecting nature through the critique of fundamentalist capitalism. The newworld's key that is proposed by the eco-anarchism denying the teleology in thenature will be ecosystem based on spontaneousness.&nbsp

Kaplan, Suleyman/0000-0003-1477-5002 WOS: 000387093100002 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of diclofenac sodium (DS) exposure on the prenatal development of female rat arteries. STUDY DESIGN: Pregnant rats were separated into control, saline-injected, and drug-treated (DS) groups. Starting from the 5th day following mating until the 15th day of pregnancy, saline and DS (1 mg/kg daily) were injected intraperitoneally into the pregnant rats in the saline and DS groups, respectively. No injection was given to the rats in the control group. Of the offspring born to the pregnant rats, females were chosen. At the end of the 4th and 20th weeks, vessel samples were removed and evaluated using stereological techniques. RESULTS: Our results indicated no significant difference between the volume fractions of the tunica media and lumen in the femoral and brachial arteries of the 4-week-old female rats. Moreover, there were no significant differences between the 4- and 20-week-old female rats in terms of the volume fractions of the tunica media and lumen in their aortas and femoral and brachial arteries. However, a significant difference was observed in the condition of the 4-week-old female rats' aortas. CONCLUSION: Prenatal exposure of female rats to DS may inhibit the development of the arterial system.

WOS: 000421963600007, PubMed: 25782122, Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common causes of preventable ischemic stroke and is related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of data in Turkey on the use of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), and time in therapeutic INR range (TTR) in vitamin K antagonist users and AF management modality. In this multi-center trial, we aimed to analyze, follow and evaluate the epidemiological data in non-valvular AF patients. Study design: Four thousand one hundred consecutive adult patients from 42 centers with at least one AF attack identified on electrocardiography will be included in the study. Patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and prosthetic valve disease will be excluded from the study. At the end of one year, the patients will be evaluated in terms of major cardiac end points (death, transient ischemic attack, stroke, systemic thromboembolism, major bleeding and hospitalization). Results: First results are expected in June 2015. Data about major cardiovascular end-points will be available in January 2016. Conclusion: The rates and kind of oral anticoagulant use, TTR in vitamin K antagonist users and main management modality applied in non-valvular AF patients will be determined by AFTER-2 study. In addition, the rate of major adverse events (MACEs) and the independent predictors of these MACEs will be detected (AFTER-2 Study ClinicalTrials. gov number, NCT02354456.).

Background: Device-associated healthcare-acquired infections (DA-HAI) pose a threat to patient safety, particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). We report the results of the International Infection Control Consortium (INICC) study conducted in Turkey from August 2003 through October 2012. Methods: A DA-HAI surveillance study in 63 adult, paediatric ICUs and neonatal ICUs (NICUs) from 29 hospitals, in 19 cities using the methods and definitions of the U.S. NHSN and INICC methods. Results: We collected prospective data from 94,498 ICU patients for 647,316 bed days. Pooled DA-HAI rates for adult and paediatric ICUs were 11.1 central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) per 1000 central line (CL)-days, 21.4 ventilator-associated pneumonias (VAPs) per 1000 mechanical ventilator (MV)-days and 7.5 catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) per 1000 urinary catheter-days. Pooled DA-HAI rates for NICUs were 30 CLABSIs per 1000 CL-days, and 15.8 VAPs per 1000 MV-days. Extra length of stay (LOS) in adult and paediatric ICUs was 19.4 for CLABSI, 8.7 for VAP and 10.1 for CAUTI. Extra LOS in NICUs was 13.1 for patients with CLABSI and 16.2 for patients with VAP. Extra crude mortality was 12% for CLABSI, 19.4% for VAP and 10.5% for CAUTI in ICUs, and 15.4% for CLABSI and 10.5% for VAP in NICUs. Pooled device use (DU) ratios for adult and paediatric ICUs were 0.54 for MV, 0.65 for CL and 0.88 for UC, and 0.12 for MV, and 0.09 for CL in NICUs. The CLABSI rate was 8.5 per 1,000 CL days in the Medical Surgical ICUs included in this study, which is higher than the INICC report rate of 4.9, and more than eight times higher than the NHSN rate of 0.9. Similarly, the VAP and CAUTI rates were higher compared with U. S. NHSN (22.3 vs. 1.1 for VAP; 7.9 vs. 1.2 for CAUTI) and with the INICC report (22.3 vs. 16.5 in VAP; 7.9 vs. 5.3 in CAUTI). Conclusions: DA-HAI rates and DU ratios in our ICUs were higher than those reported in the INICC global report and in the US NHSN report.

Ankara’nınmekânsal inşası sürecinde, özellikle 1980 sonrasına denk gelen gecekondu önlemeve toplu konut politikası Sincan’da uygulanır. Sincan Ankara’nın yeni kurulanbanliyösü olması itibariyle Ankara’ya çeperden tutunmaya çalışan göç edenleriçin çekim merkezi olduğu ölçüde, siyasi rengini de bu vasfından alarak dönüşümgeçirir. Söz konusu görece sol anlayıştan taşra muhafazakârlığına ve İslâmîkimliğe doğru seyreden siyasi kimlik nedeniyle Sincan, siyasi merkez olarakAnkara’nın politik anlamda ötekisi hâline gelmeye de başlar. Sincan göç edenyoksulların etkisi ve politik aykırılığı temsil etmesi nedeniyle, 28 Şubat sürecininsembolik mekânı olur. 28 Şubat süreciyle “ünlenen” Sincan’ın sosyolojik vepolitik yapısını açıklamak ve siyasi merkez olan Ankara ile ilişkisinitartışmak amacıyla, bu çalışmada Sincan sakinleriyle görüşmeler yapılarakSincan anlatısı ile mekânın sosyolojik ve siyasi gelişimi birliktedeğerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır., Duringthe construction of settlement places of Ankara, especially during the post1980 period, the prevention of mass housing and collective housing policieswere implemented in Sincan. Sincan was a newly built attraction center in formof a suburb of Ankara and persons migrating to Ankara, tried by all means (byobserving or not observing ethics), to get a place in Sincan which took itspolitical color from such a characteristic and experienced transformation.Because of political identification, starting from relative left conception andmoving towards Islam identification, Sincan starts also to become the other onefor Ankara which is the political center in political meaning. With the effect of migration of the poorpersons who were representing political awkwardness to Sincan, the locationbecomes symbol, in relation to February 28 process. With the purpose ofdiscussing the relationship of Sincan which became famous with the February 28process with Ankara that was forming the political center, a survey(interviews) was conducted, by entering into talks with the peasants of Sincan,on the subjects of things talked about Sincan; sociological and politicaldevelopment of Sincan as a location and efforts were jointly made in thisstudy, to arrive at findings and make assessments. &nbsp

Refik Halid Karay (doğ. 1888 ? öl. 1965) Türk hikâyeciliğinin önde gelen yazarlarından biridir. Karay, birçok türde eser vermiş olsa da o her zaman Memleket Hikâyeleri yazarı olarak anılmıştır. Ömrünün büyük bir kısmını sürgünlerde geçiren Refik Halid Karay, Anadolu sürgününden Memleket Hikâyeleri, yurtdışı sürgününden ise Gurbet Hikâyeleri ile döner. Memleket Hikâyeleri, hem Karay?ın hem de Türk hikâyeciliğinin önemli eserlerinden biri olur. Henüz kitabı yayımlanmamış genç bir yazarken bile hikâyeleriyle ilgi çeken Karay, Memleket Hikâyeleri ile bu ününü perçinler. Bu kitap hem içerik hem de dil bakımından Türk hikâyeciliğine yeni bir soluk getirir. Daha önce İstanbul dışına neredeyse hiç çıkmamış olan Türk hikâyesi Memleket Hikâyeleri ile Anadolu?ya açılır. Karay, bu hikâyelerinde Anadolu?yu idealize etmek yerine gerçekçi bir Anadolu imgesi kurmaya çalışır. Hikâyelerinde son derece yalın bir dil kullanan Karay, birçok yazarı da daha sade bir Türkçe ile yazma konusunda etkilemiştir. Yazarın ikinci hikâye kitabı Gurbet Hikâyeleri ise Memleket Hikâyeleri kadar ilgi görmez. Bu durumda yazarın 150?likler listesi dolayısıyla bulunduğu yurtdışı sürgününden yeni dönmesinin ve bu kitaptaki hikâyelerin hem içerik hem de kurgu bakımından zayıf olmalarının etkisi vardır. Ancak bu kitap Türk edebiyatının ilk ?gurbet hikâyeleri? olması bakımından önemlidir. Tezin amacı Türk hikâyeciliğinin önemli isimlerinden biri olan Refik Halid Karay?ın hikâye dünyasını öne çıkan temalarıyla ele almaktır. Bu açıdan yazarın hikâye türündeki eserleri incelenmiş, yazarın Türk hikâyeciliğindeki yerine ve önemine değinilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Refik Halid Karay, hikâye, Türk edebiyatı Refik Halid Karay (1888 - 1965) is one of the most important authors of Turkish storytelling. Even though he produced many works in various genres, he has always been remembered as the author of Memleket Hikâyeleri. Having spent much of his life in exile, Refik Halid Karay returned from his exile in Anatolia with Memleket Hikâyeleri (Motherland Stories) and from his foreign exile, with Gurbet Hikâyeleri (Foreign Land Stories). Memleket Hikâyeleri turned out to be one of the most important books of both his own career and Turkish literature. As an author who started to draw attention even in his young age and yet with no stories published, Karay improved his fame with Memleket Hikâyeleri. This book, with its content and language, breathed new life into Turkish storytelling. Turkish stories, which up until then had never stepped outside İstanbul, finally found their way to Anatolia along with Memleket Hikâyeleri. In his stories, Karay tries to establish a realistic image of Anatolia instead of idealizing it. Preferring to use an extremely simple language in his stories. Karay has also affected many other authors in terms of writing with a simpler Turkish. However, the author?s second storybook, Gurbet Hikâyeleri, does not turn out to be a great success like Memleket Hikâyeleri. This can be related to the fact that he wrote the book right after he got back from the ?150 Personae non Gratae of Turkey? exile and the stories inside the book are weak both in terms of content and fiction. Nevertheless, this book is very significant as it contains the first ?foreign land stories? of Turkish literature.This thesis aims to explore Refik Halid Karay?s world of stories through its outstanding themes. In this respect, this study analyzes Karay?s stories, and touches upon the author?s significance and position in Turkish storytelling. Keywords: Refik Halid Karay, story, Turkish literature 212

In this study blended cements containing corncob ash (CA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) were investigated. The blended cements were prepared using a clinker, 5% gypsum by weight CA and GGBFS. Different amounts of additives (20 and 40%) were incorporated into these blends in equal amounts. Control cement, that is, plain Portland cement, without any additions, was also prepared and studied in order to establish the effects of additives to cement. Clinkers from Adana, Cimsa and Mardin were used. CA was obtained by burning corncob waste and had a 500 m m(2)/kg Blaine value, and GGBFS was ground to give a Blaine value of 300 m(2)/kg for all cements. The compressive strengths were measured for 3, 7, 28, 90, and 180 days in tap water. Their sulfate resistance was determined by compressive strengths after 24 months under sulfate conditions. CA and GGBFS gave an activity index grades of 80 and 71%, respectively. The microstructures and morphology of plain and blended cements were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The micrographs showed that these additives provide more condense structures of cement hydration and excellent sulfate resistance. Thus, CA and GGBFS additives in cement production can contribute to the cement durability.
