TÜRKİYE’DE BÖLGESEL GELİR DENGESİZLİĞİ: İŞGÜCÜ BAŞINA GELİR YAKINSAMASI
Authors: NAL Mustafa 
Published: December 2019

Türkiye bölgeleri arasında önemli gelir farklılıkları olan bir ülkedir. Bu durumun zaman içerisinde nasıl değiştiğini yakınsama hipotezi ile test eden çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu test, bir tarihsel zaman aralığı için kişi başına gelir değişkenin ampirik analizine dayanmaktadır. Fakat Türkiye’de sosyolojik yapının bazı unsurları (aile büyüklüğü, ailede çalışan sayısı, işgücüne katılım oranı vb.) zaman içerisinde değişmektedir. İlave olarak bu yapı Türkiye’nin bölgeleri arasında da farklılık göstermektedir. Ortalama verimliliğin ölçümünde araç değişken olarak kişi başına gelirin kullanımı bu değişimlerin etkisini de içermektedir. Bu çalışmada bölgesel yakınsama işgücü başına gelir değişkeni ile araştırılmıştır. Yakınsama hipotezi için tahmin modeli Neoklasik Büyüme Teorisi’nde yer alan geçiş dönemi denklemlerinin yatay kesit için yorumlanmasından elde edilmektedir. Ekonometrik tahminde geleneksel yaklaşım doğrusal olmayan en küçük kareler yöntemidir. Bu çalışmada da bu yöntem tercih edilmiştir. Bölgesel farklılıkları yansıtmak için tarımın GSYH payı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma 2004-2017 dönemini kapsamaktadır ve kullanılan tüm veriler TÜİK veri tabanından elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Türkiye’de 2004 sonrası dönemde bölgesel ve il düzeyinde gelir farklılıkları azalmaktadır. İşgücü başına gelirin yakınsama hızı kişi başına gelirin yakınsama hızından daha yüksektir. Bölgesel farklılıkları yansıtan ilave değişkenle yapılan tahmine göre ise koşullu yakınsama hızı mutlak yakınsama hızından daha yüksektir. Ayrıca ilave değişken ekonometrik tahminin açıklama gücünü artırmıştır. Bu bulgular Türkiye’de 2000 sonrası dönemde sosyal yapıdaki değişmenin ve kentleşme düzeyindeki artışın yakınsama hızını artırdığını göstermektedir. Kadınların işgücüne katılım oranının ve istihdamının teşviki bölgesel gelir farklılıklarının azaltılmasında uzun dönemli bir politika olarak kullanılabilir.

Published: December 2019

The article presents the results of RANEPA Center for Lifelong Learning Economics’ Monitoring of Efficiency of School Education concerning teachers’ and parents’ perceptions of student achievement. The study involved analysis of official statistics and data from sociological surveys of parents, teachers, and school administrators across different types of communities structured by the level of socioeconomic development.
The fact that student achievement is largely contingent on teacher expertise is beyond dispute. It turns out, however, that teachers also attribute poor student performance to low parental involvement, socioeconomic disadvantage, health issues, and irresponsible student behavior. According to teachers, the proportion of students unable to cope with the curriculum increases consistently from grade to grade, peaking in Grades 8 and 9. Better student performance in Grades 10–11 (high school) may be explained by withdrawal of some students after completing the middle school level.
Most parents perceive their children’s academic performance to be above average. At the same time, along with teachers, parents report a decline in student achievement in middle school. Families attribute this downswing in performance to various factors, including lack of subject-specific abilities, challenging curricula, and decline in student engagement. Only 9.3% of parents consider teaching quality to be a factor of low student performance. Lower average family income is associated with higher frequency of reporting low child performance at school. The influence of family income on student achievement may be explained, in particular, by differences in the opportunity to buy extra tuition, including private tutoring.
New algorithm for planning superior tarsal muscle resection for blepharoptosis: description of technique and results
Authors: Potyomkin Vitaly V. , Goltsman Elena V. 
Published: December 2019

Background. Transconjunctival techniques for blepharoptosis correction are popular because of ease of implementation and good predictability. For a long time, the phenylephrine test remained the main factor influencing the choice of blepharoptosis correction method. Recently, more and more researches indicate the possibility of the superior tarsal muscle resection in patients with negative responses to the phenylephrine test. Authors have proposed and described a new modified technique for resection of the superior tarsal muscle, which can be used to correct blepharoptosis in patients with different responses to phenylephrine test.
Materials and methods. The study included 2 groups of patients with mild to moderate blepharoptosis with levator muscle function 8 mm or more. The main group (75 patients, 103 eyelids) underwent a modified resection of the superior tarsal muscle, and in the comparison group (26 patients, 35 eyelids) an open sky resection of the superior tarsal muscle was performed. Surgery in the main group was planned according to the following algorithm. In positive and sufficient response to the test, 2/3 of the superior tarsal muscle was resected. In case of positive but insufficient response to the phenylephrine test, subtotal superior tarsal muscle resection was performed. In case of negative or slightly positive result of phenylephrine test, an assessment of the white line motility was additionally performed intraoperatively. If the motility of the white line (in mm) was equal to the amount of ptosis, subtotal superior tarsal muscle resection was performed without resection of the superior tarsal plate. If the motility of the white line was less than desired amount of correction, then subtotal superior tarsal muscle resection was combined with tarsal plate resection to reach the desired amount of correction. The residual height of the tarsal plate was always left 5 mm or more. If superior tarsal plate was compromised or not high enough to perform desired amount of resection then white line was advanced to the tarsal plate.
Results. The degree of ptosis, the result, the width of the palpebral fissure in the center, lateral and medial limbus, MRD 1 and MRD 2 did not significantly differ between the groups (p 0.05). However, the frequency of hypo- and hypercorrections was significantly lower in the main group (p 0.05).
Conclusion. New algorithm of planning modified superior tarsal muscle resection gives an opportunity to use transconjuctival methods of blepharoptosis correction in cases of weak and negative phenylephrine test and to reduce the amount of hypo- and hypercorrections

Published: December 2019

Neste trabalho foi realizada uma análise da saúde pública do município de Taboão da Serra segundo os dados dos sistemas de informações em saúde do Brasil. O município da região sudoeste da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo apresenta-se como o quinto menor município do estado e a segunda maior densidade demográfica do estado. Taboão da Serra mostra uma transição demográfica com uma população cada vez mais envelhecida e uma transição epidemiológica, deixando de lado as morbidades crônicas transmissíveis, para dar lugar a morbidades crônicas não-transmissíveis. Superou a expectativa do milênio na redução da taxa de mortalidade infantil e investe em saúde um valor maior que o desejável segundo a EC 29/2000 e Lei 141/2012. Apresenta uma estrutura física de rede de atendimento ampla e em construção, como acontece com a Estratégia de Saúde da Família e é referência regional de alguns serviços de saúde, com carência de recursos humanos. Prioriza programas em saúde para melhorar a qualidade de vida da população e diminuir as estatísticas preocupantes ainda de morbidade, mortalidade por causas específicas, infantil e materno-infantil.
“Trabalho gênero e sexualidade quando o assunto chega nas minhas aulas”: a escola nas discussões de gênero e sexualidades a partir da demanda dos/as alunos/as

Published: December 2019

Qual tem sido o trabalho desenvolvido pelas escolas na discussão de gênero e sexualidade? Partimos da afirmação de que a escola realiza o trabalho com gênero e sexualidade, mesmo que não tenha consciência disso. Essa pergunta inicial, que não é absolutamente nova, é o foco das análises apresentadas neste artigo a partir de questões surgidas de uma pesquisa realizada num programa de pós-graduação em Educação, entre os anos de 2015-2016. Uma questão problematizadora interessada nas abordagens de gênero e sexualidades nas aulas, de forma planejada ou não. Gênero e sexualidades são organizadores sociais, resultado de construção histórica e cultural. Assim, dialogar com professores e professoras é reforçar a ideia de que escolas não são essências, mas fruto de relações entre indivíduos e sociedade. Para desenvolver a pesquisa e as análises, estamos assumindo a perspectiva teórico-metodológica pós-estruturalista, influenciada pelos estudos foucaultianos, que, não se propondo a oferecer soluções, proporciona a oportunidade de ampliar o debate sobre pesquisa no campo educacional.

A Review of:
Bhardwaj, R.K. (2017). Information literacy in the social sciences and humanities: A bibliometric study. Information and Learning Science, 188(1/2), 67–89. https://doi.org/10.1108/ILS-09-2016-0068
Abstract
Objective – To determine the scope and distribution of information literacy research documents in the humanities and social sciences published from 2001 to 2012.
Design – Bibliometric analysis.
Setting – N/A
Subjects – 1,990 document records retrieved from a Scopus database search.
Methods – Using the database Scopus, the author created and conducted a search for documents related to the concept of information literacy. Articles, review papers, conference articles, notes, short surveys, and letters were included in the results. Only documents published from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2012 were included in the study. The author then performed various bibliometric analyses of the results.
Main Results – The author found that the number of publications and citations have increased over time, although the average citations per publication (ACPP) decreased significantly during the time period being studied. The majority of the literature published on this topic is in English and produced within the United States. The Transformative Activity Index was calculated to determine changes in publishing patterns across countries from 2001 to 2012. The amount of research collaboration across countries was calculated as well, with the U.S. being the most collaborative. The top journals publishing on this topic were identified by calculating the h-index. An individual from Universidad de Granada in Spain published the greatest number of articles from a single author, and this university was found to have produced the greatest amount of research. Documents produced by the United Kingdom have the highest citation rates. A total of 1,385 documents were cited at least once, and each item on average was cited five times.
Conclusion – Most of the articles on information literacy in the social sciences and humanities comes from developed countries. The results of this study may help to inform those interested in researching this field further.
Seven Years of Noise Reduction Strategies in an Academic Library Improve Students’ Perceptions of Quiet Space, Especially Among Graduate Students
Authors: Sullo Elaine

A Review of:
McCaffrey, C. & Breen, M. (2016). Quiet in the library: An evidence-based approach to improving the student experience. portal: Libraries and the Academy, 16(4), 775-791. http://doi.org/10.1353/pla.2016.0052
Abstract
Objective – To examine the interventions implemented by an academic library for noise management, and their impact on library users, over a seven-year period.
Design – Retrospective data analysis.
Setting – University library in Ireland.
Subjects – LibQUAL data from 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2014.
Methods – The researchers analyzed data from the 22 core LibQUAL questions and the three dimensions of library as place, information control, and effect of service. The study focused specifically on LibQUAL question LP2 in the library as place dimension: quiet space for individual work. Qualitative free text comments in the surveys related to noise or quiet issues were also analyzed. The adequacy mean was used to determine improvement in scores; this metric is calculated by subtracting the minimum mean score from the perceived mean score.
Main Results – LibQUAL scores related to the quiet space question steadily improved over the seven-year period studied. The adequacy mean went from -1.2 to -0.13, representing a 1.07 degree of improvement. For all 22 questions, the adequacy mean increased from 0.02 to 0.38, showing overall improvement of 0.36. Researchers reviewed the data for all individual questions to measure the degree of change over the seven years; the quiet space question had the highest level of improvement of all of the questions. Considering user groups’ perceptions, there was a 2.03 degree of improvement for graduate students, while there was a 0.82 degree of improvement for undergraduates.
The researchers wanted to know if the noise interventions had a specific impact on the quiet space question compared to a more general impact on the “library as place” dimension. None of the other “library as place” questions improved to the degree of the quiet space question. Of the “library as place” questions, question LP5, the group space question, was the only one where the adequacy mean dropped, with an adequacy mean difference of -0.23.
External benchmarking conducted by the researchers put these results in an international context, using consortium data from ARL in North America and the Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) in the United Kingdom (U.K.).
Conclusion – Based on the study findings, the long-term noise management program implemented from 2007 to 2014 at the University library had a measurable impact, and users’ perceptions of the quiet space in the library improved. Because perceptions improved most among graduate students, researchers concluded that future efforts for noise management strategies should consider focusing on this group.

Abstract
Background Outbreaks of infectious gastroenteritis are common in care homes for the elderly. Norovirus can cause these outbreaks, but diagnosis is frequently based solely on clinical characteristics. Our objective in this study was to describe the epidemiology of norovirus and other gastrointestinal pathogens in these settings. Methods We analysed surveillance data from gastroenteritis outbreaks reported in North East England between 04 July 2016 to 01 July 2018. Stool samples taken during these outbreaks were tested for a range of viral and bacterial pathogens. We described the epidemiology of these outbreaks and explored the characteristics of norovirus outbreaks versus from other viral causes using multivariable logistic regression. Results From the 566 care home gastroenteritis outbreaks in this study, we found that norovirus was the pathogen most frequently isolated. Norovirus was detected in 64% of outbreaks with a pathogen identified. Sapovirus was found in 13%; rotavirus in 11%. We found that norovirus outbreaks were associated with higher attack rates (aOR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.05) and fewer cases sampled (aOR 0.74, 95% CI 0.60-0.91), compared to outbreaks caused by other viral pathogens. Conclusions These results are important as they quantify the contribution of norovirus to gastroenteritis outbreaks in care homes. Given this evidence, we emphasize the importance of non-specific outbreak interventions that can affect the impact of all such outbreaks. We further recommend that these findings are used to inform the implementation strategies of any norovirus-specific interventions such as a norovirus vaccine.

Published: December 2019

AbstractBackground Despite the adoption of the provider-initiated HIV testing strategy, the rate of HIV testing is still very low in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with HIV testing among sexually active women and men in Senegal. Knowledge of HIV status is the gateway to antiretroviral treatment. Methods A secondary analysis of the 2017 Senegal Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) was performed, using data on sexually active women aged 15-49 and men aged 15-59. The outcome variable was the proportion of women and men who reported ever being tested for HIV in the last 12 months before the survey. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the socio-demographic, HIV-knowledge, media exposure, and behavioral factors associated with HIV testing in Senegal. Results The study found that 61.1% (95%CI: 59.2-62.9) of women and 26.2% (95%CI: 24.2-28.3) of men were tested for HIV at the last 12 months. In multivariate analysis, among men the factors independently associated with being tested for HIV were: age groups 20-24 to 40-44 and age group 50-54; a higher level of education; being in the richest household wealth quintile; being married; knowing about the efficacy of HAART during pregnancy; having 2 or more lifetime sex partners and owning a mobile phone. Among women factors independently associated with HIV testing were: being in any age groups versus 15-19; a higher level of education; being in the richest household wealth quintile; being married; knowing about the efficacy of HAART during pregnancy; having any STI in last 12 months; fearing stigma; owning a mobile phone; and having any number of ANC visits, versus none. Conclusion Although HIV remains a public health threat, HIV testing’s prevalence is still low in Senegal, making it difficult to interrupt the transmission chain within the community and to reach the UNAIDS goal for 2020 of “90-90-90”. Innovative community-based strategies are needed to address barriers and improve access to HIV testing in Senegal, particularly for men and for the youngest and poorest populations.

Abstract
Background: The relationship between renal function and bone mineral density (BMD) is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of renal function with BMD and osteoporosis risk in healthy postmenopausal Chinese women.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 776 healthy postmenopausal Chinese women. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure BMDs. Clinical, demographic, and biochemical data were obtained at the time of image acquisition. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using a Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
Results: Women with eGFR levels of at least 90 ml/min/1.73m2 had a lower prevalence of osteoporosis compared with women with decreased eGFR levels (60 ml/min/1.73 m2 ≤ eGFR < 90.0 ml/min/1.73 m2). BMDs at femoral neck and total hip were significantly lower in the lower eGFR class than the higher class (0.717 ± 0.106 vs 0.744 ± 0.125 g/cm2, P < 0.01; 0.796 ± 0.116 vs 0.823 ± 0.129 g/cm2, P < 0.01, respectively). eGFR was positively correlated with BMDs at femoral neck and total hip in unadjusted analysis (P <0.05). After controlling for age, menopausal duration and body mass index (BMI), decreased eGFR was not associated with osteoporosis risk.
Conclusions: After adjustments for age, menopausal duration and BMI, the decline in renal function was not independently associated with osteoporosis risk in healthy postmenopausal Chinese women.

Abstract
The advent of endoscopic and laporoscopic techniques changed surgery in many regards. A number of options exist in the management of cholelithiasis and secondary choledocholithiasis. Among them, laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration with the choledocotomy followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has gained popularity. However, efforts should be made for minimally invasive or non-invasive to the CBD. For this purpose, we modified the surgical modality by laparoscopic transcystic approach with dilatation of the cystic duct confluence in CBD exploration (LTD-CBDE). The aim of this work was to assess the feasibility, safety and effectivity of LTD-CBDE based on our preliminary experience.
