Published: December 2023

Ekolojik tasarım kriterlerine göre tasarlanan bir alanda estetik kalite artırılırken yerel ekosistemin sorunlarına da çözümler sağlanabilmektedir. Aynı zamanda yapı içerisinde istenilen konfor koşullarına ulaşmak için gereken enerjinin kontrolsüz tüketiminin de önüne geçilmesi mümkündür. Enerji etkin tasarımla yapı içinde ısıtma ve soğutmaya duyulan enerjide tasarruf sağlanırken kaynak tüketimini azaltan, doğayı koruyan ve biyolojik çeşitliliği artıran uygulamaların yapılması mümkündür. Enerji etkin yaklaşımla oluşturulan sulak alan tasarımlarıyla kaybolacak yağmur suyunun yüzeysel akışta doğal hidrolojik döngüsünün alana geri kazanımı sağlanır. Yüzey akış sularının depolanarak sulamada kullanılması ve atık suların arıtılıp yeniden değerlendirilmesi gibi faaliyetler su etkinliğini önemli ölçüde artırır. Katı atıkların ayrıştırılarak yeniden kullanımı, atıkların yol açacağı ekolojik ayak izini azaltmaktadır. Oluşturulan mikroklimatik çevre iklimlendirmesi ile hava kalitesinin artırılması sağlanır. Doğal bitki strüktürünün yerel bitki türleri ile desteklenmesi kentsel ses kontrolünü sağlar. Tüm bu kazanımlar ise iklim değişikliği ve küresel ısınma gibi büyük çevre sorunlarının önlenmesine aracılık eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kent parkı iyileştirmelerinde ekolojik tasarım hedeflerini ortaya koymak ve çalışma alanı örneği üzerinden bu hedeflerle mevcut durumun kıyaslanmasıdır. Bu sayede problemlerin belirlenmesi ve belirlenen sorunlara ilişkin ekoloji temelli çözüm önerileri getirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Edirne Kent Ormanı çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiş ve alan McHarg’ ın (1969) ekolojik tasarım kriterleri doğrultusunda değerlendirilmiştir. Edinilen bulgular çerçevesinde mevcut durum ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Gözlemler çerçevesinde mevcut durumda belirlenen problemlere ilişkin ekolojik çözüm önerileri getirilmiştir. Çalışma ile kentsel mekânlar kurgulanırken ekoloji temelli yaklaşımların değerlendirilmesi gerekliliği vurgulanmakta ve yeni vizyonların bu yaklaşım doğrultusunda oluşturulması hedeflenmektedir.

Published: December 2023

Peyzaj mimarlığı insanlığın yerleşik hayata geçişinden beri oluşmaya başlamış ve her geçen gün insan ve çevre ihtiyaçlarına göre olgulaşan, doğal ve kültürel kaynakları insan ve canlıların gereksinimleri doğrultusunda tasarlayan meslek disiplinidir. Yapılan tasarımlar ekolojik, çevreye uyumlu ve insan ihtiyacına hizmet este bile aynı zamanda estetik kaygı da güdülmektedir. Peyzaj mimarlığı bilim dalı ekolojik açıdan değerlendirildiği gibi estetik açıdan da değerlendirilmektedir. Estetik antik çağlardan günümüze kadar uzanan bir tarihe sahip önemli bir terim olmasının yanında bir çok değerlendirme yöntemi de göze çarpmaktadır. Fakat Kabul görmüş tek bir yöntem bulunmamaktadır. Kullanılan değerlendirme yöntemlerinin nicel veya nitel olması ortaya çıkan sonuçların eksikliklerini tespit etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı estetiğin sayısallaştırılarak tespit edilmesi için karşılaştırmalı bir yöntem ağı ve değerlendirme cetveli oluşturmaktır. Bu sayede görsel imgelerin estetik boyutunun incelenmesi daha güvenilir hale gelmesi planlanmaktadır. Estetiğin ölçülebilirliği hem nicel hem de nitel yöntemler kullanılarak entropi tabanlı ve gestalt ilkelerine bağlı olarak değerlendirilebilecek ve elde edilen değerler “bit” cinsinden karşılaştırılabilir olacaktır. Bu çalışma kapsamında elde edilen yöntemin uygulanması ile mevcut kentsel mekanların estetik açıdan eksikliklerini tespit etmek kolaylaşacak ve ileride planlanan projelerin üç boyutlu modellemeleri ile önceden estetik olarak değerlendirilmesi sağlanacaktır.

Published: December 2023

The 2022 Education Report reveals that high school-equivalent students scored 50.74% in numeracy literacy, below the minimum competency. Emphasizing mathematical literacy is crucial, yet such problems are scarce in classrooms. The research aims to develop mathematical literacy questions. The trigonometry material was chosen for the reason that this material should enable literacy activities related to material concepts. Following the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Implementation, and Evaluation) model, the study employs expert validation and student responses as instruments, involving 20 students in small and large-scale test phases. It yields four trigonometry essay questions for high school. The research results show that the Mathematical Literacy test developed has quite valid categories in terms of content, construct and language. The questions are declared reliable. All types of questions are difficult. Discrimination index of questions, 1 question in the average category, and 3 questions in the low category. The developed questions are in the difficult category because at the mathematical literacy level, the abilities that are developed are not at the level of low-level thinking. This research supports efforts to increase student competency in mathematical literacy at the high school level.

Published: December 2023

The crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the way of life, work, and learning processes. The government has issued a policy of adopting a new custom order to suppress the transmission of Covid-19 and continue to move people’s habits. Universities as educational centers have interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary roles and contributions through health promotion research and outreach activities by taking a role in overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic. Universities have an innovative role in preparing for the Covid-19 endemic through their work in education, research, and counseling. With the pandemic and post-Covid-19 preparations, universities are intensifying support in terms of providing health services for the academic community, one of which is sustainable health promotion services. Health promotion on campus after the Covid-19 pandemic can be done by adopting general health promotion strategies, including 1) cross-sectoral coordination, 2) importance and sustainability, 3) empowerment and involvement of the academic community, and 4) equity. Mental health for students and teachers after online teaching is very important. Social media has great potential to promote health and other health interventions as it overcomes some of the limitations of traditional health communication by increasing accessibility, interaction, engagement, empowerment, and adaptation. Health promotion in universities by utilizing social media has several advantages, namely accessibility, convenience, low cost, interaction with end-users, flexibility, status, and visibility. With the good momentum of social media engagement coupled with the new need to focus on health promotion, offering digital media-based online health promotion services is one of the possible actions. Digital media has significant promise for health promotion and other health intervention activities.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. The experience gained by dentists and physiotherapists in the field of masticatory organ dysfunctions in relation to the body as a whole confirms the belief that the issue of disorders of the masticatory organ motor system is not a local problem. Therefore, the treatment of this type of diseases should not be limited only to the reconstruction of static and dynamic occlusion using conservative, orthodontic or prosthetic methods, neglecting the appropriate mobilization of the musculoskeletal, fascial, osteoarticular chains associated with the cervical section and further sections of the spine. Limiting the diagnosis and therapy of functional disorders only to elements of the stomatognathic system may generate even greater ailments and diseases in the patient.
A wide range of symptoms related to the stomatognathic system, causing unpleasant pain and emotional disorders, determines patients to seek help from many specialists, including: otolaryngologist, neurologist or physiotherapist. The patient has a chance to cure these health problems, provided that the entire rehabilitation team works: a dentist, a physiotherapist, a psychologist and a speech therapist specializing in masticatory system dysfunctions.
Aim of study. The aim of the study was to determine the needs for establishing cooperation between a physiotherapist and dentist in the treatment of patients with functional disorders of the masticatory system.
Material and methods. The research was conducted among 28 physiotherapists from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The diagnostic tool used was an interview questionnaire, containing a number of questions regarding the conditions and quality of establishing cooperation with a dentist in the management of patients referred for physiotherapy treatments for the treatment of disorders in the stomatognathic system.
Conclusions. Existing physiotherapeutic methods shorten the duration of the disease, e.g. through massages, manual therapy (trigger point therapy, mobilization, post-isometric muscle relaxation), physical treatments (ultrasounds, biostimulation laser, cryotherapy, light therapy, magnetic field) and exercises (relaxation, stabilization, proprioception), which the patient performs under the supervision of a therapist and then alone at home. Achieving positive effects in the treatment of patients with stomatognathic disorders requires constant cooperation between a dentist and a physiotherapist. Only a comprehensive, holistic diagnostic and therapeutic approach is a condition for effective treatment.

Authors: Krawiec Monika , Borkowski Bolesław , Shachmurove Yochanan
Published: December 2023

The paper focuses on investigating the correlation and volatility of fuel markets in four countries of the Visegrad region, namely Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. The primary objective of the paper is to explore regional fuel markets and retail prices in these countries by employing VAR models and Johansen procedures to analyze the interrelationships between Visegrad fuel markets. Additionally, the paper uses multivariate dynamic conditional GARCH (DCC GARCH-M) models to examine the volatility and covariance of fuel prices in these nations. The results of the study indicate that there are no long-term connections between Visegrad gasoline prices. The performance of the domestic price is independent of other markets. The research also shows long-term relations of diesel prices only among some countries. Overall, the size of these relations is small and mostly statistically insignificant. These findings provide valuable insights into the fuel markets of the Visegrad countries and can be useful in formulating policies related to energy and fuel price regulation. Overall, the study contributes to the literature on fuel markets in the Visegrad region and provides policymakers and stakeholders with essential information necessary for making informed decisions.

Background: The contribution of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) subclasses to incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a subject of debate. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate these associations in a population with a high prevalence of dyslipidemia and CVD. Methods: In a nested case-control study, HDL-C and its subclasses (HDL2-C and HDL3-C) in 370 age and gender-matched case and control subjects were determined. This study employed multivariable-adjusted conditional logistic regression to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) for the associations between HDL-C, HDL2-C, HDL3-C, and HDL2-C/HDL3-C (both as continuous and categorical variables) with incident CVD and CHD. The present study models were adjusted for a comprehensive set of confounders, including body mass index, current smoking, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, use of lipid-lowering drugs, family history of premature CVD, non-HDL-C, and triglycerides. Results: In multivariate analysis, when considering lipoprotein parameters as continuous variables, a 1-unit increase in HDL-C and HDL3-C was associated with a reduced risk of incident CVD and CHD. For CVD, the ORs (95% confidence intervals [CI]) were 0.95 (0.92 - 0.98) and 0.95 (0.93 - 0.98) for HDL-C and HDL3-C, respectively. The corresponding values for CHD were 0.94 (0.91 - 0.97) and 0.94 (0.91 - 0.97). In the categorical approach to lipoprotein parameters, higher quartiles of HDL-C and HDL3-C, compared to the first quartile, were significantly associated with a lower risk of incident CVD and CHD. The ORs (95% CI) for the fourth quartiles were 0.43 (0.25 - 0.74, P for trend = 0.003) and 0.46 (0.27 - 0.78, P for trend = 0.005) for HDL-C and HDL3-C regarding CVD and 0.32 (0.17 - 0.59) and 0.32 (0.18 - 0.59) (all P for trend = 0.001) regarding CHD, respectively. Paradoxically, across quartiles of HDL2-C/HDL3-C, this lipid ratio was associated with a higher risk of CHD (92% higher risk in the fourth quartile). Conclusions: The results showed that HDL3-C, but not HDL2-C, was primarily responsible for the protective effect of HDL-C against CVD, particularly CHD, in Iranian adults.

Background: Impaired wound healing is one of the complications of diabetes. Carvacrol, a natural substance, shows promising results in diabetic wound healing despite the fact that its therapeutic mechanisms are not fully understood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular alterations caused by carvacrol intervention in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) cultured at a high-glucose condition. Methods: The HDFs were incubated in different glucose concentrations, and cell viability was assessed. In addition, carvacrol cytotoxicity was determined. Then, the HDFs were incubated in 50 mM glucose prior to treatment. After that, the cells were divided into 4 groups: controls, high-glucose (50 mM), carvacrol-treated (9 µM), and high-glucose carvacrol-treated for 24 h. Cell proliferation and migration were examined. Furthermore, superoxide dismutase (SOD) production, collagen deposition, and RNA levels of TGFβ1, ACTA2, and miR-155 were investigated. Results: The in vitro scratch assay revealed that the fibroblast migration, which was reduced at high-glucose concentration, was reversed due to the carvacrol intervention during 12 h and 24 h (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively). Collagen deposition and SOD synthesis showed an increase in treated cells (P < 0.001). Both TGFβ1 and ACTA2 mRNA expressions were elevated due to the carvacrol treatment, while the miR-155 level decreased (P < 0.001). Conclusions: A high level of glucose impaired the cellular function of human dermal fibroblast. Carvacrol reversed the adverse effects of high-glucose stress and promoted wound healing through greater cell migration, collagen deposition, and levels of TGFb1 and ACTA2 gene expression. It showed inhibitory effects against miR-155, which is known for its negative role in diabetic wound healing.

Published: December 2023

Background: Evidence, especially in the last two decades, indicates the effect of social factors on health. Social determinants of health (SDH) are the environmental conditions in which people are born, live, grow, educate, work, and age. Objectives: Hence, this study intended to identify the SDH of the reproductive age women's sexual health dimensions. Methods: To conduct this scoping review, the researchers searched the databases, including PubMed, Medline, ProQuest, Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences, Scientific Information Database (SID), and Magiran, disregarding language limit. They searched the original observational articles (cohort, cross-sectional, case-control) on social determinants of reproductive age women's sexual health, assessing at least one social determinant of health for sexual health between January 2010 and January 2023. Results: A total of 4704 articles were extracted in the initial review; however, 30 entered the scoping review. The results revealed that the social determinants of reproductive age women's sexual health in different societies are socioeconomic status (socio-economic constraints, economic gradient, poverty, lack of food at home, homelessness, low prospects, and poor educational and job outlook), personal determinants (age, gender, religious affiliation, marital status, education level, employment/unemployment status, economic status, age at the first sex, age over 40, dissatisfaction with the sexual potency of the spouse, high body mass index, partners' sexual education, sexual intimacy, relationship duration, frequent contact with a given partner, perceived social support, and perceived safe sex norms), social support (social networks of peers, friends, and family, emotional support and strong attachments to families), neighborhood, violence, addiction, migration, stress, early life experiences, and education that can affect different sexual health dimensions. The sexual health dimensions encompass sexual function, sexual satisfaction, risky sexual behaviors, receiving sexual health services, condom use, and forced sexual behavior. Conclusions: Considering each person's conditions and needs, health policymakers and health services providers should evaluate the various dimensions of the SDH to promote women's sexual health. Moreover, they should plan and implement the required strategies to eliminate the identified obstacles.

Platon’un retorik anlayışını ele alacağımız bu makalede, ilk olarak retorik kelimesinin kısaca etimolojisine değinip özellikle bu anlamda retoriğin doğuşuyla ilişkisinde sofistlere değinerek Platon’un sofistik retoriğe yöneltmiş olduğu eleştirilere yer vereceğiz. İkinci olarak, Platon Devlet adlı eseri ve Gorgias diyaloğunda retoriğe karşı olan sert tutumunu, Phaidros diyaloğunda biraz daha yumuşatacaktır. Bu tutum değişikliğini ele alacağız.
Kültürel Coğrafyanın Sosyal Bilgiler Dersinde Ele Alınış Şekli ve Önemi

Kültürel coğrafya, Sosyal Bilgiler eğitiminde yer almadığı gibi tanım olarak da ifadesi geçmemektedir. Bununla birlikte Türkiye’nin ne kadar zengin bir kültüre sahip olduğu ve ne kadar farklı coğrafi özellikleri bünyesinde barındırdığı da bir gerçektir. Bunun da ancak kültürel coğrafyanın Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde ayrı bir başlık altında ele alınarak incelendiğinde anlam ve önem kazanacağı düşünülmektedir. Fakat Sosyal Bilgiler eğitiminde kültürel coğrafyanın bir öğrenme alanı olarak ele alınmadığı günümüz ders kitaplarında bu alana ayrıca bir parantez açma sayesinde, kültürünü ve coğrafyasını bir bütün halinde öğrenmesi beklenen bireylerin daha anlamlı ve kalıcı bir öğrenme gerçekleştireceklerine inanılmaktadır. Kültürel coğrafya, Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde yer alan bir ünite olmamakla birlikte, konular içerisinde özellikle “Kültür ve Miras” ünitesinde ele alınan, üstü kapalı değinilen bir alan olma özelliğiyle öne çıkar. Bu haliyle 4, 5, 6 ve 7. sınıf Sosyal Bilgiler ders kitapları incelenerek, kültürel coğrafyaya ne düzeyde yer verildiği, hangi konularla daha fazla ilişkilendirilmiş olduğuna bu çalışmada yer verilmiştir. Buna göre özellikle Sosyal Bilgiler ders kitaplarında “Ülkem, Kültürüm ve Tarihim”, “Yaşadığımız Yer”, “Üretimden Tüketime”, “Ülkemizde Nüfus” gibi ünitelerde yer alan konularda kültürel coğrafyanın ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde kültürel coğrafyanın ayrı bir öğrenme alanı ve ders kitaplarında ayrı bir ünite olarak ele alınması gerekli görülerek, Sosyal Bilgiler ders kitabında 6. sınıf düzeyinde “Kültürel Coğrafya” adıyla yeni bir ünite tasarlanmıştır.
