ANTİK ÇAĞDAN TÜRK-İSLAM DÖNEMİNE ÇUKUROVA-SURİYE ARASINDA KİLİT BİR BÖLGE: ANDIRIN
Authors: Şahbaz Mehibe
Published: December 2024

En eski çağlardan itibaren yerleşim merkezlerinde yaşayan insanların, uzak mesafelerdeki kentler ile kurdukları bağlantının en önemli aracı ticaret olmuştur. Ticarette ulaşım, çoğu yerde, yüksek dağlar, derin vadiler sebebiyle zorlayıcıdır. Eskiçağda Anadolu’nun, dünyaya açıldığı önemli bölgelerden biri olan güneydeki Akdeniz limanları ile bağlantısı da Toroslardaki nehirlerin açtığı geçitlerle olmuştur. Doğu Akdeniz limanlarıyla Orta Anadolu’dan geçen ticaret yollarının bağlantısını sağlayan en önemli güzergâh, Ceyhan nehrinin açtığı geçitlerden ulaşım sağlayan, yerel halkın isimlendirmesiyle Akyol/Ağyol olarak bilinen kervan yoludur. Ağyol’un ve ona bağlanan yol güzergahlarının üzerinde, tarihin farklı dönemlerinde kurulan çok sayıda antik yerleşimler bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Ağyol’un geçtiği Andırın’ın Başdoğan bölgesi ve buradaki Sarıbıyıklı Obası ile çevresindeki antik yerleşimler araştırma konusu yapılmıştır. Böylece çalışmanın, bölgede yer alan ticari yol güzergahlarına, bu yollar üzerinde kurulan antik yerleşimlere dikkat çekerek, burada yapılacak kapsamlı araştırmalar ile eskiçağ kentlerinin lokalizasyonu ve Roma döneminin yerel krallığı Tarkhondimotos’un kuzey ve doğu yönündeki yönetim alanlarının belirlenmesi konusunda literatüre katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

John Edward Christopher Hill (1912-2003), 17. yüzyıl İngiliz tarihi konusunda uzmanlaşmış bir akademisyendir. Makalelerin yazıldığı dönem ikinci dünya savaşından sonra ve soğuk savaşın oldukça ileri seviyeye vardığı bir zaman aralığında gerçekleştiğinden ve yazar Marksist ideolojiyi benimsemiş olduğundan komünizmi ve onun tarihsel önderlerini (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin gibi) tarafgir bir şekilde büyük bir saygı ile almıştır. Bundan dolayı eserde SSCB’de olan bazı olumsuz olaylardan (Gulag kampı, zorunlu göçler, nükleer silah denemeleri gibi) hiç bahsedilmemiş tir. Sosyal tarih geleneğinde yazılmış olan kitap altı makaleden oluşmaktadır. Bunlar; “Marksizm ve Tarih”, “Stalin ve Tarih Bilimi”, “Tarih Öğretmek”, “Tarihçiler, İngiliz Kapitalizminin Ortaya Çıkışını Naıl Yorumluyor?”, “Marx ve Engels’in Yorumuyla İngiliz İÇ Savaşı” ve “Tarih ve Bugün”. Yazarın oluşturulan bu seçkide yer alan makalelerinde ideolojisi olan Marksizm’i savunma düşüncesi akademisyenliğinin önüne geçmiş gibidir.

Authors: Gurbuz Ahmett Seyfettin
Published: December 2024

Susac sendromu beyin, iç kulak ve retinadaki mikrovasküler hasara sekonder geliştiği düşünülmekte olup nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Patogenezinde anti endotelyal hücre antikorlarının rol oynadığı göz önüne alındığında tedavi büyük ölçüde immünsüpresif ilaçlar ile sağlanmaktadır. Sendromun tedavisine erken başlanması ve agresif tedavi, uzun vadeli sonuçlar üzerinde olumlu etkiye sahiptir. Susac sendromunun tromboza yatkınlık oluşturduğuna dair net bir kanıt bulunmamakla birlikte, olgumuzda göğüs ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran, bilinen Susac sendromu tanısı olan ve akut koroner sendrom ön tanısı ile koroner anjiyografi yapılan bir hastada revaskülarizasyon gerektirecek ciddi koroner arter hastalığının saptanması bu düşünceyi desteklemektedir. Hastada uygun revaskülarizasyon sağlandıktan sonra şikayetleri gerilemiş ve takiplerinde tekrar revaskülarizasyon gereksinimi olmamıştır. Bu olgu sunumunda Susac sendromlu hastada revaskülarizasyon sürecinde yaşanan zorluklar, alınan kararlar ve diğer alternatif yaklaşımlar gözden geçirilecektir. Olgumuz Susac sendromu ile akut koroner sendromun birlikteliği açısından literatürde ilk olma özelliği taşımaktadır. Susac sendromunu ve kardiyak etkilerini aydınlatmak için daha fazla vaka raporuna ihtiyaç vardır.

Evaluation of the Readability of Package Inserts for Hormone Replacement Therapy, Combined Oral Contraceptives, and ProgestinOnly Pills: A Cross-Sectional Analytical Study
Authors: Akkus Fatih
Published: December 2024

Amaç: Yazılı bir metnin anlaşılması, okunabilirliği ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Okunabilirliği objektif bir şekilde ölçmek için belirli formüller vardır. İlaç prospektüslerinin okunabilirliği de halk sağlığı açısından önemlidir. Özellikle reçetesiz satılan ve doğrudan temin edilebilen ilaçlarda bu prospektüslerin anlaşılabilirliği ve okunabilirliği daha da önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada hormon replasman tedavisi (HRT), kombine oral kontraseptiflerin (COCP) ve sadece progestin içeren hapların (POP) prospektüslerinin okunabilirlik düzeyinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: Türkiye İlaç ve Tıbbi Cihaz Kurumu' nun resmi web sitesinden eczanelerde satılan ve kadınların kullanabildiği tüm reçetesiz ve reçeteli hormon preparatlarının listesini oluşturdu. Türkiye’ de reçeteli veye reçetesiz olarak satılan hormon preparatları içeriklerine göre HRT, COCP ve POP olarak üçe yarıldı. İlaç prospektüs metinleri okunabilirlik hesaplama motoruna aktarıldı ve metinlerindeki hece, kelime ve cümle sayıları hesaplandı. Türkçe metinler için geçerli olan Ateşman, Bezirci-Yılmaz ve Çetinkaya-Uzun okunabilirlik formülleri, bu metinleri değerlendirmek için kullanıldı. Araştırma, %5 çift yönlü anlamlılık sınırı ve %95 güven düzeyi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Üç ilaç grubu için Ateşman okunabilirlik endeksinin ortalama değerleri 70,5 ile 71,3 arasında oldukça benzerdir (p=0.690). Çetinkaya-Uzun okunabilirlik endeksinin ortalama değerleri, 49,9 ile 50,7 arasında oldukça benzerdir (p = 0,627). Bezirci-Yılmaz, üç ilaç grubu için okunabilirlik endeksinin iki kategoriye ayrıldığını göstermektedir: 7-8 sınıf ve 9-10 sınıf. Her bir ilaç grubuna ait prospektüslerin çoğunluğunun 7-8 sınıf kategorisine girdiğini, prospektüslerin okunmasının ve anlaşılmasının oldukça kolay olduğunu göstermektedir. Üç farklı ilaç grubu için Bezirci-Yılmaz okunabilirlik endeksi arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktur (p=0.534).
Sonuç: Türkiye'deki ortalama eğitim seviyesi göz önüne alındığında bu preparatraların prospektüslerinin okunabilirlik seviyesi yüksektir. İlaç prospektüslerinin ortalama eğitim seviyesine göre yazılması okunabilirliğini ve dolayısıyla anlaşılabilirliğini artıracaktır.

Re-do Hypospadias Repair: Comparative Analysis of Surgical Techniques and the Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Authors: Sezer Ali
Published: December 2024

Amaç: Hipospadias onarımında amaç, fonksiyonel ve kozmetik olarak normal bir penis elde etmektir. Başarısız vakalar için yapılan yeniden onarım, rekonstrüktif ürolojide en zorlu işlemlerden biridir.Komplikasyon ve başarısızlık riskleri primer vakalara göre daha yüksektir. Hiperbarik oksijen terapisi (HBOT ), uygun endikasyonlarla seçilmiş hastalara uygulanarak doku iyileşmesine katkıda bulunabilir. Bu çalışmada yeniden hipospadias onarımı yapılan hastaların cerrahi tipi ve HBOT uygulanıp uygulanmamasına göre karşılaştırmalı sonuçlarını sunmayı amaçladık.
Hastalar ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif klinik çalışma, Ocak 2021 ile 2024 tarihleri arasında başarısız hipospadias cerrahisi sonrası tarafımıza başvurup yeniden onarım geçiren 0-17 yaş arası hastaları içermektedir. Preoperatif, peroperatif ve postoperatif veriler, operasyon türüne ve HBOT alımına göre analiz edilmiş ve karşılaştırılmıştır.
Bulgular: Yeniden operasyon geçiren 34 hastanın içinde, 4'ü TIPU onarımı, 20'si tek aşamalı G-TIPU ve 10'u iki aşamalı onarım geçirmiştir. TIPU ve G-TIPU grubundaki hastaların ortalama yaşları 6,5±3,8 yıl, aşamalı onarım grubundaki hastaların ortalama yaşları ise 9,7±5,6 yıl idi (p=0,070). Kordi düzeltmesi en sık TIPU ve G-TIPU grubunda Baskin plikasyonu ile yapılmıştır (n=9), iki aşamalı grupta ise Essed-Schroder plikasyonu (n=3) ve ventral korporatomi (n=3) teknikleri daha sık kullanmıştır (p=0.004). Postoperatif HOSE skorları önemli ölçüde artış göstermiştir (preop HOSE: 8.5±2.9, postop HOSE: 13.6±1.6, p=<0.001). Gruplar arasında başarı oranlarında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamış olup, genel başarı oranı %76.5'tir. Greftli onarım yapılan hastaların 11'i (%36.7) postoperatif dönemde HBOT almıştır. HBOT grubunda başarı oranları daha yüksek olmakla birlikte aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (n=9 (%81.8) vs. n=13 (%68.4), p=0.137).
Sonuç: Yeniden onarım yapılan vakalarda, greftli onarımın tek aşamalı veya iki aşamalı yaklaşımla kullanılması, klinik ve cerrahi değerlendirmelere dayanmalıdır. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmasa da, seçilmiş vakalarda greft kullanımının başarıyı potansiyel olarak artırabileceği ve HBOT eklenmesiyle komplikasyonları azaltabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Gül Meltem , Demir Özcan , Narlıkaya Zülküf
Published: December 2024

Misconceptions are encountered in the field of accounting education as in every field. Since misconceptions in the field of education will affect the student's future life, these misconceptions should be identified and eliminated in advance. This study aims to determine the misconceptions of accounting education students about accounting education. For this purpose, the Misconceptions Analysis in Accounting Education (MAAE) scale was applied to the students who continue their education in the departments of business administration, business administration and accounting/tax practices at the undergraduate and associate degree level of state universities in TRB 1 region. The data collected within the scope of the research were analysed in SPSS 22 programme. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the perceptions of misconceptions about accounting of students studying accounting education are high, and the highest misconceptions are related to the idea that accounting is a recording process and students' general accounting knowledge. It has been observed that the general accounting course is perceived by the students as a course in which general information is given as an introduction to accounting. With this perception, the student associated the course as easier in his/her mind. However, when they are fully acquainted with accounting education, it becomes difficult for students to perceive the course as a result of the mismatch between their expectations and what they see. With the results obtained from the study, it is expected that the difficulties experienced by the students in accounting courses and the misconceptions they have acquired will be identified and will help to eliminate the mistakes that will be experienced in the name of accounting in the future. It is extremely important to eliminate these misconceptions in order to have a positive impact on the department that students choose as a profession, which will affect their future lives. Eliminating these misconceptions will undoubtedly contribute to increasing the quality of accounting education. It is thought that the results of the study will attract the attention of all academicians interested in accounting education, contribute to the way accounting academicians handle the course and contribute to the misconceptions in the literature.

Authors: Öztürk Oya , Çelik Muhammed
Published: December 2024

To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, national governments, and universities have jointly developed a variety of vaccines. After this stage, widespread and effective vaccination on a global scale has become the most crucial aspect in the fight against the pandemic. The discovery of vaccines has brought up the issue of how to deliver them quickly and fairly to those living in underdeveloped countries. Vaccination encompasses not only the medical aspect but also the concepts of accessibility, availability, equitable, fair, and rapid distribution as a whole. The main theme of our study is to comparatively highlight the impact of factors other than the medical aspect of vaccination on vaccination, specifically within the context of the African continent. African countries particularly have faced the most problems in accessing and distributing vaccines. This study aims to identify the barriers to the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine to African countries. In this study, we analyzed the vaccine supply, governance index, and logistics infrastructure factors affecting access to vaccines in the context of various scenarios, using the system dynamics method. The findings of this study show that income level is the most significant variable. Additionally, improving logistics performance and infrastructure and governance index increase more equitable access to vaccines in African countries.

The interplay between professional and personal life significantly impacts
individual well-being, making work-life balance an essential topic of study. This research
investigates how individuals maintain equilibrium between these domains, with a focus on
physical and recreational activities as balancing strategies. Using a qualitative exploratory
design, semi-structured interviews with 12 respondents in Bihor, Romania, revealed diverse
attitudes, behaviors, and strategies for achieving work-life balance. Participants highlighted
the pivotal role of physical activity, mindfulness, and clear boundaries between work and
family life. Barriers to balance included limited time, stress, and professional demands, which
adversely affect physical and mental health, interpersonal relationships, and job performance.
Respondents reported using strategies such as outdoor activities, exercise, and mindfulness
to mitigate stress, enhance energy, and foster well-being. The findings underscore the
necessity of individual and organizational initiatives to support work-life balance, suggesting
that physical and recreational activities are not only stress alleviators but also boosters of
productivity and quality of life. Future research should expand on the sample size and explore
organizational interventions to enrich our understanding of effective work-life balance
strategies.

content (UGC) on social media platforms in China. The research investigates how these factors impact tourists’ proenvironmental behavioural intentions (TPBI) using Virtual Goffman's Theory and Social Comparison Theory as the framework.
A survey of 716 social media users who had recent travel experiences in China was conducted to examine the psychological
mechanisms driving tourists to participate in pro-environmental activities both online and offline. The structural equation model
(SEM) results reveal that while impression management motivation did not directly influence pro-environmental UGC
engagement, its impact became significant when moderated by the frequency of social media status updates. Online social
comparison had a direct positive impact on pro-environmental travel UGC engagement, while social media stalking did not. Proenvironmental travel UGC engagement was found to be a strong predictor of pro-environmental behavioural intention. These
findings offer valuable insights into how social media interactions foster eco-conscious behaviours, highlighting the role of
impression management and online comparisons in shaping both online and offline pro-environmental actions. The study
provides implications for promoting sustainable tourism practices through social media engagement strategies.

Addressing the educational needs of students in math early on is critical given that early gaps in math skills widen further over the course of schooling. This study examines the effectiveness and costs of Kentucky’s Math Achievement Fund—a unique state-level program that combines targeted interventions, peer-coaching, and close collaboration among teachers to improve math achievement in grades K–3. The program is found to improve not only math achievement, but also reading test scores and non-test outcomes including student attendance and disciplinary incidents. The benefits exist across students from various socioeconomic backgrounds, and they are slightly higher for racial minorities.

Published: December 2024

The current practice in Iraq showed that satisfactory sealing of joints for concrete structures is not always achieved. The poor quality of local sealants is usually considered the main cause of such improper performance. The purpose of this work, therefore, is to review and investigate the factors affecting the performance of thermoplastic hot-applied joint sealers which are mostly used in horizontal joints of rigid pavements as shown by the literature reviewed in this study. The impact of different compositions including asphalt cement, reclaimed rubber, mineral filler, fiberglass and, polyvinyl chloride, together with the effect of manufacturing procedures and materials' percentage are studied. Sealant physical properties have been evaluated to include consistency at normal temperatures, resistance to flow at elevated temperatures and, resistance to failure in adhesion or cohesion at very low temperatures. It has been determined that the desired hot-applied sealant can be produced from locally available materials to satisfy the performance-related properties after using optimum contents of asphalt cement (about 45%), reclaimed rubber (about 20%), mineral filler (about 25%), fiberglass (0.1-0.6%), and polyvinylchloride and dioctyl-phthalate (10-15%), in addition to controlling the suitable mixing temperature (170°C) and installing temperature (120-130 °C). This work shall provide a better understanding of the factors influencing the local manufacture of a more durable hot-applied sealant for concrete joints.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to evaluate the factors affecting building rehabilitation cost management using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) model. A literature review, case studies, consultations with experts, and questionnaires were used to identify and categorize fifty-seven factors into six categories. The proposed model has considered twenty factors out of the fifty-seven. The main factor with the highest weight in building rehabilitation cost management in Iraq is the building characteristics, with a weight of 0.298. Design and bill of quantities issues follow this with a weight of 0.204. The next factor is project management Issues with a weight of 0.185. Planning and contract management factors come next with a weight of 0.150. Safety and environmental factors have a weight of 0.104. The element with the lowest weight is economic and financial factors, with a weight of 0.058. This order of elements highlights their importance in affecting cost management. The prioritization within each category is outlined with due consideration to the weights assigned to the main factors. The significance of required quality standards and site visit to the building under the design and bill of quantities, while planning and contract management prioritize project duration and general and specific contract conditions. Building characteristics prioritize the number of floors in the building and its location, economic and financial factors emphasize fluctuations in currency exchange rates and labor costs, and safety and environmental concerns are anchored by health, safety, awareness and training. Project management emphasizes change orders and a lack of coordination among team.
Studying pollen representation of vegetation and plant richness from Pampean coastal dunes (Argentina, South America): exploring from local to landscape quantitative linkages
Authors: Vásquez Carolina , Sottile Gonzalo , Merino-Campos Victor , Stutz Silvina
Published: December 2024

Background and aims: Studying plant dynamics through past pollen records may contribute to a better understanding of long-term changes in plant communities. Thus, this study aims to establish whether surface pollen composition and richness of the Argentinean Coastal Dune System reflect landscape heterogeneity in coastal dune environments.
M&M: Twenty-four sediment surface samples were collected in small lagoons. Landscape-scale heterogeneity up to 2000 m was mapped and classified in landscape units. Multivariate analyses were used to classify pollen samples and compare them to landscape unit coverage (%). Also, we evaluate plant species and pollen richness relationship by linear regression models.
Results: The relationship between plant and pollen richness is influenced by taxonomic smoothing, pollen production and taphonomic constraints (dispersal and preservation). The pollen assemblages and pollen richness from surface sediments of small lagoons and interdune slacks reflect plant richness and vegetation heterogeneity at the landscape scale (ca. 1000-2000 m). The main contributors to pollen richness are anemophilous pollen types, although some entomophilous pollen types are useful to infer some local heterogeneity.
Conclusions: We report the first quantitative analysis on pollen-vegetation relationship of coastal ecosystems showing that pollen records reflect landscape vegetation attributes, encouraging the study of past plant diversity and landscape variability based on pollen records.
Análisis de la diversidad genética en poblaciones fragmentadas y continuas de Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco (Apocynaceae) del Chaco Semiárido

Published: December 2024

Background and aims: The loss and fragmentation of the Chaco Forest due to deforestation could affect the genetic diversity of species. Previous analyses of Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco, an emblematic forest species of the region, suggested that populations in the northern Semi-arid Chaco of Argentina are of interest for in situ conservation and restoration. Thus, we analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of fragmented and continuous populations of Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco from this region to assess the risk of genetic erosion and the role of fragmented habitats in the conservation of this species. 
M&M: Using 4 AFLP marker combinations, the genetic variability and structure of 49 individuals from 2 continuous and 3 fragmented populations of A. quebracho-blanco were analyzed. This analysis was conducted in the context of territorial forest planning, considering the distribution of protected areas, ecological corridors, land use, and the area of the forest fragments. 
Results: The differences in the estimated genetic variability indices between the continuous and fragmented populations studied were not significant (pHe=0.62, pSh=0.53, p%P=0.68). The genetic structure is moderate and correlates with the distance between populations. The most vulnerable populations are located in areas where land use is allowed.
Conclusions: Forest fragments are important for the conservation of A. quebracho-blanco. However, in the short term, ecological, and demographic factors may have a greater impact on the viability of its populations than genetic erosion caused by fragmentation.
