An Analysis of Turkish Singular Pronouns Based on Accessibility Theory

Bu calisma Ariel (1988) tarafindan gelistirilmis olan Erisebilirlik Kurami’ni temel alarak Turkce’deki acik ve bos tekil adillarin metinlerde kullanimini incelemeyi amaclamaktadir. Bu amac dogrultusunda Turkce romanlardan olusan bir orneklem meydana getirilmistir. Metinlerde gondergeleri acik ve bos olan 1. , 2. ve 3. tekil adillar incelenmistir. Calismada incelenen toplam orneklem sayisi 300’dur. Onculler ve yukarida belirtilen tekil adillar arasindaki iliskiler Erisebilirlik Kurami’nin (Ariel, 1988) sonralik (recency), bilinen (givenness) ve sozdizimsel onem (syntactic prominence) olarak adlandirilan uc boyutu baglaminda incelenmistir. Sonralik etkisi oncul ve adil arasindaki tumce sayisini dikkate almaktadir. Kuram sonralik arttiginda bos adillarin kullaniminin azaldigini ileri surmektedir. Bilinir olma etkisi adil ile gondergesinin metinde kac kez tekrar edildigini dikkate almaktadir. Kurama gore bilinirlik ne kadar siksa bos adil kullanma olasiligi da o derece yuksektir. Son boyut olan sozdizimsel onem etkisi onculun ya da adilin gondergesinin ozne islevinde kullanilmasina dayanmaktadir. Diger bir deyisle, oncul ozne olarak kullanildiginda acik adillar yerine bos adillarin kullanilmasi daha yuksek bir olasiliktir. Bu calismanin amaci bu uc boyutun Turkce tekil acik ve bos adillar uzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu amac dogrultusunda olusturulan orneklem uzerinde Erisebilirlik Kurami’nin uc boyutu incelenmistir. Turkce tekil adillar ben, sen ve o’nun acik ve bos adil olarak kullanimlari sonralik, bilinir olma ve sozdizimsel onem etkilerine gore ayri ayri ve birlikte incelenmis ve karsilastirilmistir. Calismada ulasilan bulgular Erisebilirlik Kurami’nin ileri surdugu gorusleri Turkce tekil adillar baglaminda tam olarak desteklememektedir. Diger bir deyisle Turkce’de acik ve bos tekil adil kullaniminin Erisebilirlik Kurami’nin uc boyutu ile tamamen aciklanmadigi gorulmektedir. Ote yandan bulgular bilinirlik boyutunun hem acik hem de bos 1. tekil kisi adilinin kullanimi uzerinde etkili oldugunu gostermektedir. Ayrica sozdizimsel onem boyutu da hem acik hem de bos 3. tekil kisi adilinin kullaniminda etkilidir.
Abominable KK Failures

KK is the thesis that if you can know p, you can know that you can know p. Though it’s unpopular, a flurry of considerations has recently emerged in its favour. Here we add fuel to the fire: standard resources allow us to show that any failure of KK will lead to the knowability and assertability of abominable indicative conditionals of the form ‘If I don’t know it, p’. Such conditionals are manifestly not assertable—a fact that KK defenders can easily explain. I survey a variety of KK-denying responses and find them wanting. Those who object to the knowability of such conditionals must either (i) deny the possibility of harmony between knowledge and belief, or (ii) deny well-supported connections between conditional and unconditional attitudes. Meanwhile, those who grant knowability owe us an explanation of such conditionals’ unassertability—yet no successful explanations are on offer. Upshot: we have new evidence for KK.
Active screening for tuberculosis among slum dwellers in selected urban slums of Puducherry, South India

295 Annals of Tropical Medicine and Public Health | Jul-Aug 2016 | Vol 9 | Issue 4 Dear Sir, The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) “End TB Strategy” advocates for active case finding activities to have 90% tuberculosis (TB) case detection by 2030. [1] WHO recommends for active screening among household TB contacts, health care workers, people with diabetes, migrants and prisoners, and people in urban slums based on systematic review. [2,3] The review also recommends for local evidence on active screening in the recommended groups to enable policymakers to develop country specific active screening guidelines. [3,4] With an estimated 1 million missing TB cases in India, there is a need for determining yield, feasibility, and cost effectiveness of active case finding activities among the recommended high‐risk groups. [5] In this study, we aimed to assess the feasibility and yield of active screening among urban slum dwellers.

In this research, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of digital stories on creative writing skills of pre-service Turkish language teachers and to analyze their digital story building skills. In the quantitative dimension of the research conducted by the mixed method, pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design without control group was used and case study design in its qualitative phase was used. Simple random sampling was used to determine the quantitative study group, and purposeful sampling method was used to determine the sample of phase. Participants chosen through this sampling method consist of 43 preservice teachers who are studying in their second years at Turkish Language Teaching Department in Recep Tayyip Erdogan University in 2016-2017 academic year. For the analysis of the quantitative data obtained from the study, paired sample t-test was used for dependent groups and descriptive analysis was used for the analysis of qualitative data. As a result of the research, it has been determined that creative writing skills significantly differ in favor of the post-test scores in terms of "originality of ideas, fluency of thoughts, flexibility of ideas, vocabulary richness, sentence structure, organization, writing style and grammar". Moreover, it has been determined that pre-service Turkish language teachers are generally good at digital story building skills. As a result of the research, it was found that digital stories have developed creative writing skills.
Ethnobotany of Dacryodes edulis (G.Don) H.J. Lam in SOuthern Nigeria 1- Practices and Applications Among the Yoruba

Dacryodes edulis (G. Don) H.J. Lam or eleme is widely used among Yoruba speaking people of Nigeria. The fruit is the major part utilized for food; eaten singly or with a number of other foods. The pulp oil complements common edible oils. Considered rich with medicinal properties; the plant parts is engaged singly or with other plants for treating several illness and diseases including malaria, dermatological, oral and ear conditions, hypertension, leprosy, labor pain, retarded growth and epilepsy in children. Viewed as a symbol of “fruitfulness” and of “peace” the plant parts are employed for both religious and sociocultural activities such as warding off evil spirits, worship of gods, communal festivals, marriage, naming and settlement ceremonies. The wood is used for carpentry, road and shelter construction. The stem exudates act as glue, as well as for production of cosmetics alongside the fruit oil. The tree crown serves for apiculture as well as for shade. The use of Dacryodes edulis amongst the Yoruba people is immense as it cut across the cultural, socio-economic and medicinal interactions of the people.
TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN ILORIN METROPOLIS SECONDARY SCHOOLS, NIGERIA

This study was carried out to examine the relationship between total quality management and students’ academic performance in Ilorin metropolis secondary schools, Kwara State, Nigeria. This is to find solutions to the problems of quality management in relation to negative effect of academic performance of students in senior secondary schools. The study examined the principles and component of total quality management as it is applicable to educational settings. The researchers adopted a descriptive survey design. Both stratified and simple sampling techniques were used to select fifteen out of twenty-five public secondary schools and 120 respondents respectively. An instrument titled Total Quality Management Questionnaire (TQMQ) and Student Academic Performance Checklist (SAPC) were used to collect relevant data. Seven research questions were raised and seven hypotheses were formulated including one main hypothesis to guide the study. Both simple percentage and Pearson product moment correlation statistics were used to analyze the data at 0.05 levels of significance. The findings revealed that there is no universal standard of achievement for all students before permitting them to move to the next class; there is effective communication in the schools; principal and staff are not re-trained on new methods of school-based management and there is significant relationship between total quality management and student academic performance in Ilorin metropolis secondary schools. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made which include; the state ministry of education should set a minimum and universal standard of achievement for all secondary school in the state and there is need to regularly organize re-training programs on new methods of school based management for the principals and staff in Kwara State secondary schools.
Relationship between body adiposity and arterial stiffness in young Indian adults

Background: Obesity is one of the major cardiovascular risk factors and is linked with arterial stiffness. This study was undertaken to establish the relationship between regional adiposity and arterial stiffness using simple noninvasive techniques. Methods: In total, 181 young Asian Indian adults aged 18-28 years (mean age 21.9 ± 2.2) were measured for adiposity and arterial stiffness. Total body fat percentage was derived from skinfold thickness of various body sites. Body mass index and waist-hip-ratio were also measured. Arterial stiffness was measured using a SphygmoCor with a carotid-radial pulse wave analysis technique. Results: Significant gender differences were observed on anthropometric variables including skinfold thickness (P < 0.05) and all the arterial stiffness variables (P < 0.05) except pulse wave velocity. Systolic pressure, augmentation pressure, augmentation index (AIx), AIx at 75% heart rate, and aortic systolic pressure had statistically significant correlations with all three adiposity variables (P < 0.05). Significant correlations were found in a higher number of variables in the females. Physical activity had negative correlations with arterial stiffness and adiposity variables (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Arterial stiffness measured by carotid-radial pulse wave analysis is strongly related to adiposity measured from skinfold thickness in females. Females had higher arterial stiffness and adiposity compared with men. These findings could be helpful in future research using noninvasive arterial stiffness measurements.
Evaluation of sedation in quail induced by use of midazolam and reversed by use of flumazenil.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sedative properties of 3 dosages of the benzodiazepine tranquilizer midazolam as a means of chemical restraint in quail (Colinus virginianus) and to evaluate the ability of the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil to reverse the sedative effects of midazolam. DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled trial. ANIMALS Study 1, 30 birds; study 2, 10 birds. PROCEDURE 2 studies were performed. In the first study, 30 birds were randomly assigned to receive midazolam at a dosage of 2, 4, or 6 mg/kg of body weight (10 birds/dosage). Degree of sedation was evaluated by use of a numerical scale, and the peak time of adequate chemical restraint was determined. The dosage in study 1 that produced the highest degree of sedation was administered to 10 birds in study 2. Flumazenil was administered at a dosage of 0.1 mg/ kg at the peak time of sedation that had been determined in study 1. RESULTS Administration of 6 mg of midazolam/kg induced the highest degree of chemical restraint without causing alterations in cardiopulmonary function. Peak time of sedation was 10 minutes after administration; however, administration of 4 mg of midazolam/ kg also induced a high degree of sedation, but for a shorter period. Administration of flumazenil caused complete recovery from sedation induced with midazolam. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Administration of midazolam to wild birds induced adequate sedation. Results of the study reported here may be extrapolated to other species of wild birds, including raptors and, possibly, pet birds.

[Food preferences of 10- to 14-year-old boys and girls].

: To assess their food preferences a list of 114 foods and 14 beverages was submitted to a sample of 696 boys and 537 girls aged 10 to 14 years. For each item subjects had to rare by means of a five-point facial scale how much they liked or disliked it. Items with highest preference ratings were foods like pizza, ice cream, spaghetti, French fries, hamburgers, pudding, corn flakes, potato chips and popcorn, but also included the most common types of fruit. Disliked to a high degree were liver, canned or steamed fish, raw sauerkraut and red cabbage. In food groups derived by factor analysis, fast food, candy and salty snacks (along with fruit) showed highest mean liking, while vegetables (particularly cooked) ranked at the bottom of the scale. In boys significantly stronger preferences were found for food groups such as fast food, meats, cold cuts and fish, whereas girls had a (slightly) higher preference for fruit, vegetables and cheese. Neither children's age nor relative weight were related to their food preferences to a significant degree. Similarly, groups defined by father's educational level did not show important differences in their food preferences.

Clinical Presentations of Pituitary Adenomas at a University Hospital in Jamaica

Pituitary tumors account for approximately 10-15% of primary brain tumours worldwide. It is important for clinicians be familiar with the varied modes of presentation since favorable therapeutic outcomes depend on an early diagnosis. We sought to document the clinical presentation in patients with pituitary tumours. Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of hospital records from all patients with pituitary tumours treated over 15 years from January 1989 to June 2005. The information collected included patient demographics, duration of symptoms, presenting clinical features, visual field testing and hormone assays. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 12.0. Results:Pituitary tumours were present in 119 patients, with a 1:1.6 male to female ratio. There were 73 females and 46 males, who presented at a mean age of 45.4 years (SD +/-14.8; Range 10-79; Median 45; Mode 45). Non-functional tumours were present in 55% of patients at a mean age of 50.8 years (SD +/-13.4; Median 51; Mode 63) while patients with hormonally active tumours presented earlier at a mean age of 39.2 years (SD +/-13.9; Median 38; Mode 45). Visual disturbances were present in 80.7% of patients with hormonally inactive tumours, and included field deficits (79.1%) and abnormal acuity (92.5%). The other non-hormonal presentations included non-specific headaches (72.3%), cranial nerve palsies (16%) and pituitary apoplexy (5%). The commoner endocrine presentations included hyper-prolactinemia (24.4%), amenorrhoea (21.9%), hypothyroidism (7.6%), acromegaly (5.9%), cushing’s disease (4.2%) and hyperthyroidism (0.8%). Conclusion:Most patients present relatively late because the majority of pituitary tumours are hormonally inactive. Visual disturbances, headaches and symptoms of hyper-prolactinemia are common presenting complaints. Heightened clinical vigilance and early investigation in patients with suggestive clinical presentations may improve the results of treatment of this common disorder.
Neonatal tetanus in Sagamu, Nigeria during the Expanded Programme on Immunization and the National Programme on Immunization eras: A comparative analysis.

Background: It is essential to continually study the pattern of occurrence of neonatal tetanus (NNT) for better control measures. Objective: To compare the prevalence rates and outcome of NNT in a Nigerian tertiary hospital over two periods characterized by different national immunization programmes the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) and the National Programme on Immunization (NPI). Methods: The records of babies hospitalized with NNT between 1991 and 1996 (EPI period) and between 1997 and 2005 (NPI period) were studied. Results: The prevalence rates for the EPI and NPI periods were 6.4 percent and 2.9 percent respectively. Most of the mothers did not receive ante-natal care (81.4 percent for EPI and 75.6 percent for NPI), did not take anti-tetanus vaccines in pregnancy (87.7 percent for EPI and 88.4 percent for NPI) and delivered their babies outside the health facilities (86.6 percent for EPI and 83.3 percent for NPI). The Case Fatality Rate was 49.5 percent and 61.5 percent for the EPI and NPI periods respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence and mortality of NNT remains high in Nigeria despite a change in immunization programme.
