    Studying the Relationship between the Attitude towards Gender Roles of Parents and the Quality of Parent-Child Relationship in Nurses

    Cirik, Vildan Apaydin; Aksoy, Bahar; Bulut, Elif

    Gender role attitudes show people's attitudes about appropriate role activities for women and men. Many family-related factors, including parents' beliefs and behavior, can affect how people view gender roles. Nurses as health care providers can play a role in helping to form health values and behaviors at different levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the attitude toward gender roles of parents and the quality of parent-child relationships in working female nurses. This study was correlational descriptive research that was conducted on 135 female nurses working in selected hospitals. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23. The average age of the participants was 32.62 years, the average score of attitude towards gender roles in nurses was 170.47, and it was reported in the range of 139 to 185. The mean attitude score in the dimension of the femininity role was equal to 64.06, in the dimension of the masculinity role was equal to 54.78, and in the social desirability dimension was equal to 51.64. The average score of the parent-child relationship was 142.19. The results showed a direct and significant relationship between the score of attitude towards gender roles and parent-child relationships in female nurses (P < 0.05, R = 0.187). The results of this study can be used in various areas of education and awareness of parents and school parents to influence the quality of relationships, values, and attitudes of children and parents and to change the public opinion of society about the positive role of women and men in building society.

    Correlations between seismic b-value and heat flow density in Vlora-Lushnja-Elbasani-Dibra Fault Zone in Elbasani area, central Albania

    Ormeni, Rrapo; Hasimi, Albana; Öztürk, Serkan; Çomo, Ervin

    In this study, the correlations between the heat flow density and seismotectonic b-value in the El-basani area of Albania were investigated to understand the how low-velocity layers underneath the Elbasani area in central Albania struggling the large-scale Vlora-Lushnja-Elbasani-Dibra Fault Zone affect the heat flow data. For this purpose, the heat flow and regional distribution of b-value were imaged for different locations and depths. To achieve the analysis, the Albanian Seismological Catalogue for the period between 1 July 1968 and 26 December 2022, including 1830 earthquakes with a local magnitude of 0.5 ≤ Ml ≤ 5.2 that occurred at the depths below 70 kilometres, was considered. The b-value was calculated as 1.03 ± 0.06 by considering the magnitude of the completeness value as Mc-value = 2.6. This result shows that the b-value of earthquake distribution in the Vlora-Lushnja-Elbasani-Dibra (VLED) fault zone is well represented by the Gutenberg and Richter (G-R) scaling law with the b-value close to 1.0. The regional variations of the b-value show that b-values smaller than 0.9 were observed in the western and south-western parts of the Llinxha-Kozan thermal water belt. The depth distribution of the b-value indicates that there exists a sharp decrease in the b-values from 1.15 to 0.7 in the depths varying from 5 to 20 km. The highest heat flow values were observed on the Dumrea diapiric dome and in the central part of the Elbasani area. Thus, our analysis indicates significant and robust correlations between the geothermal and earthquake distribution. The discontinuity of Moho interface is deep in the regions where high b-values were observed. Low b-values are found at the depths ranging from 20–25 km and 35–40 km in the Dumrea evaporite massif area. We have evidence that high b-values and large heat flow values are related to the low seismic velocity layers underneath the Elbasani area. The low-velocity zone (LVZ) in Albania occurs in the Earth’s crust and in the upper mantle. It is characterized by an unusu-ally low seismic shear wave velocity compared to the surrounding depth intervals. It is well known that the low-velocity layers in the Elbasani area are determined in the upper crust, at shallow depths of 2–4 km, and in the middle crust at a 10–14 km depth. Hence, it is suggested that the Moho interface in the eastern part of the Elbasani area is relatively deep (45 km) compared to the western part of Albania (35 km), and the magnitude of earthquakes is smaller where the high heat flow values were observed.

    Development of Zakat Distribution in the Disturbance Era

    Faizin, Mu’Adil; Karimullah, Suud Sarim; Faizal, Bhismoadi Tri Wahyu; Lubis, Ihsan Helmi

    With the growing number of publications on digital zakat, there is a pressing need for research on zakat management to develop general concepts that can serve as policy standards for zakat management practitioners and national zakat regulators. This research aims to provide insights into managing zakat in an easy, flexible, transparent, and targeted manner. The study employs field research methods, observing real events in society, and uses empirical legal research techniques with an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating sociological and ethnographic studies. The findings indicate that proper zakat distribution requires a deep understanding of its fiqh, grounded in shari'a texts and explored through both a linguistic approach (al-qowâid al-lughawiyyah) and an objective shari'a approach (maqâshid asy-syarî'ah). Furthermore, collecting zakat funds by national amil zakat agencies and institutions in Indonesia must adapt to contemporary times and technology, providing an alternative that facilitates muzakkī's in fulfilling their obligations.

    Climate change in Türkiye and its impact on oncology nurses

    Kaya, Afşin Ahmet; Aydin, Aydanur; Bağcivan, Gülcan

    Climate change threatens human life and health by negatively affecting the basic components of health such as clean air, safe drinking water, nutritious food supply, and safe shelter. Türkiye is a country that is largely exposed to climate change with its cosmopolitan location, which is a bridge between Asia and Europe. Due to climate change, serious effects are seen in all sectors from energy to agriculture, from the economy to health. Climate change is defined as the most important global health threat of the next century, and the problems it brings are seen as the most important pressure factor for the life opportunities of future generations. Food and fresh water availability, rising sea levels, abnormal weather events, migration, and diseases are thought to affect human health. A multidisciplinary approach is required to adapt to climate change’s health effects and reduce its negative health effects. In addition, it is predicted that diseases that are about to disappear will re-emerge and become threats. It is thought that as a result of the contamination of food and water resources with the changing ecosystem, some infections will increase and society will face them. Nurses are both affected by climate change and its effects on public health. Nurses who remain in this situation have a great role in providing effective awareness for raising public awareness. In recent years, oncology clinics have not been affected by fire, earthquakes, and pandemics in our country. In this respect, it can be stated that the health service in Turkish oncology clinics is carried out uninterruptedly and by experts in the field. We learned during the pandemic that the whole world is unprepared for the future effects of climate change. In this direction, nurses should think about solutions for the problems related to climate change in the future.

    Schiff Base Synthesis with a New Reliable Method and Investigation of Their Inhibition Effects on Glutathione S-Transferase and Cholinesterase Enzymes

    Balcı, Neslihan; Çelik, Hülya; Türkan, Fikret; Çelebioğlu, Neslihan; Çelik, Tuba; Bursal, Ercan

    The principle purpose of this study is to synthesize some Schiff base derivatives with a new microwave irradiation technique and investigate their enzyme inhibition effects. Related Schiff base compounds (1 a–1 h) were synthesized from 4-fluoro aniline and some substituted benzaldehyde derivatives (3 a–3 h). The chemical structures of Schiff bases were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13C NMR). The inhibitory effects of the synthesized compounds against acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and glutathione S-transferase were investigated. The in vitro enzyme study determined the best enzyme inhibitors for AChE, BChE, and GST enzymes as 3 h, 3 b, and 3 e compounds, respectively. The results were compared with the standard drugs tacrine for cholinesterase and ethacrynic acid for GST enzymes. Molecular docking results demonstrated the low binding energy values between −5.8 kcal/mol and −8.7 kcal/mol with hydrogen bonding, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic interactions at the active catalytic sites of the enzymes.

    Analysis of The Causality Relationship Among Digitalisation, Unemployment Rate, and Divorce Rates: A Research on Türkiye; [Dijitalleşme, İşsizlik Oranı ve Boşanma Oranları Arasındaki Nedensellik İlişkinin Analizi: Türkiye Üzerine Bir Araştırma]

    Koç, Pınar; İzgi-şahpaz, Kadriye

    This study investigates the relationship between digitalisation, unemployment, and divorce rates in Türkiye by using the Fourier Toda Yamamoto Causality Test from 2007 to 2021. International Digital Economy and Society Index (I-DESI) has been used to indicate digitalisation. The results suggest that there is unilateral causality from digitalisation to divorce rates. However, there is no causality linkage between digitalisation and unemployment rates for the period 2007-2021. Moreover, there is no causal connection between unemployment rates and divorce rates. The findings show that digitalisation affects divorce rates by disrupting family communication.

    The Effects of Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) Fruit Extract on Performance, Carcass and Some Serum Parameters of Broilers Reared Under Heat-Stress Conditions[2]

    Kaya, Hacer

    Background: The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of heat stress (HS) and hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) fruit extract (HFE) on performance, carcass characteristics and serum parameters in broiler chickens. Methods: Experimental treatments included two different ambient temperatures (24°C: thermoneutral conditions, or 35°C: HS conditions) and three different HFE (0, 0.2 and 0.4 ml/L) in a 2×3 factorial arrangement. A total of 300 1-day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted 1 of 6 treatments with five replicates. A total of 300 1-day old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 6 groups with five replications of 10 birds each. HFE supplementation had no effect on growth performance, carcass characteristics and visceral weight in stressed groups (P>0.05). It was also determined that it has a lowering effect on serum malondialdehyde (MDA), free fatty acid (FFA), triacylglyceride (TAG), total lipid (TL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) (P<0.05), but it has no effect on other parameters (P>0.05). Result: As a result, it is thought that the addition of HFE to the drinking water of broiler chickens exposed to HS has no effect on the performance characteristics, HFE has a hypolipidemic effect and would be beneficial in order to strengthen the immune system.

    Agus Moh. Najib’s Project and Ushul Fiqh Redesign: Interlinking of Islamic Law and Legal Sciece

    Karimullah, Suud Sarim

    This study devels into the transformational efforts of Agus Moh Najib, a prolific Muslim intellectual and professor of ushul fiqh at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, in revitalizing and reforming the conceptual framework of ushul fiqh, which is the cornerstone of Islamic law in response to the complex challenges of modernity. The research conducted is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive-analytical review of various sources of literature that is equipped with a philosophical study through the data analysis method used is content analysis. The findings of this study highlight the ongoing process of redesigning ushul fiqh initiated by Agus Moh Najib is directed to bring closer and interconnect between Islamic law and legal science in general. He also sits the position of Islamic law in proportion between the sacred dimension and the profane dimension. Redesign of ushul fiqh as the foundation for jurisprudence and Islamic law is an urgent step to be done because the changing conditions and situations, time and place as a result of these factors, have invited a variety of serious problems related to jurisprudence and Islamic law. In contrast, the method of ijtihad developed by reformers of legal thinkers in answering various issues of modern times has not been satisfactory.

    Intentionally Changing Everything: Deliberate Constructing in Corruption Case

    Kamsi, Kamsi; Julianto, Very; Billah, Mu'tashim; Karimullah, Suud Sarim

    The handling of corruption cases lacks consistency in the emphasis on the element of intention or deliberation. While some experts propose the concept of deliberation theoretically, its practical application in the field contradicts these theoretical studies due to the absence of clear indicators of intent. Deliberation, as explored in this research, is analyzed through the lenses of criminal law and psychology. The research employs the Forum Group Discussion (FGD) method, coupled with professional judgment from legal practitioners and academics. The findings reveal a shared perception among law enforcers regarding the deliberate nature of corruption cases. These law enforcers interpret relevant articles using a combination of scientific theory and the theory of Possibility in Certainty. From a psychological perspective, deliberate behavior is conceptualized as a construct that can be measured through the lens of scientific theory. The convergence of these perspectives highlights a unified approach among law enforcers in assessing intentionality in corruption cases.

    A study on the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and job stress and satisfaction among healthcare workers in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic; [Ispitivanje utjecaja sociodemografskih karakteristika na profesionalni stres i zadovoljstvo u zdravstvenih radnika u Turskoj tijekom pandemije bolesti COVID-19]

    Tuna, Hasan; Türkmen, Osman Oǧulcan; Albayrak, Sirer

    The aim of this study was to determine the sociodemographic characteristics that affect job stress and job satisfaction in 454 healthcare workers (physicians, nurses, midwives, technicians, and other healthcare personnel) working with COVID-19 patients in primary healthcare institutions in Turkey with a cross-sectional, web-based survey between 9 and 30 August 2021. The survey included a personal information form, a standard job stress scale, and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. The levels of job stress and job satisfaction did not differ between male and female respondents. Singles reported lower job stress and higher job satisfaction than the married respondents. Job stress did not differ between departments, but respondents on the front line who worked in a COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) (at any point and/or at the time of the study) or the emergency department reported lower job satisfaction than those working in other departments. Similarly, while stress did not differ by educational status, satisfaction of respondents with bachelor's or master's degree was lower than that of the rest. Our findings also suggest that working in a COVID-19 ICU and age are significant predictors of higher stress, whereas lower education, working in a COVID-19 ICU, and being married are good predictors of lower satisfaction. Further research should include other sociodemographic variables that may affect stress and satisfaction at work, and similar studies should follow up to see what was left in the wake of the pandemic.

    Addressing student misconceptions about atoms and examining instructor strategies for overcoming them

    Kaya, Ali

    This paper is twofold. First, it examines the misconceptions held by students about atoms. Second, it determines the suggestions of the instructors (academics and teachers) to overcome these misconceptions. The study adopted a case study research method. A questionnaire was administered to 288 students and a semi-structured interview was conducted with 20 educators, including 10 teachers and 10 academics from the fields of physics and chemistry. A number of students were observed to have misconceptions about atoms, and they were unable to grasp the concept. This situation may have resulted from teaching students the theories of the atoms in a historically chronological order and ineffective methods of teaching. It was recommended that atomic models not be taught in primary school education, and that three new methods could be used in teaching this subject.

    Magmatic evolution of the Calc-alkaline Middle Jurassic igneous rocks in the eastern pontides, NE Turkey: insights from geochemistry, whole-rock Sr-Nd-Pb, in situ zircon Lu-Hf isotopes, and U-Pb geochronology

    Aydınçakır, Emre; Yücel, Cem; Kaygusuz, Abdullah; Bilici, Özgür; Yi, Keewook; Jeong, Youn-Joong; Güloğlu, Z. Samet

    The Eastern Pontides in NE Turkey hosts a very limited number of plutonic rocks from the Jurassic period. Here we submit new geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb and zircon Lu-Hf isotope data, and zircon U-Pb ages for plutonic rocks in this region. Zircon U-Pb dating for the Alemdar and Işıkdere plutons yielded an age of 175–170 Ma (Middle Jurassic). The Alemdar and Işıkdere plutons have I-type, medium to high-K calc-alkaline series, and metaluminous to slightly peraluminous characteristics. On PM-normalized diagrams, the plutons are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs) with pronounced depletion of high field strength elements (HFSEs, Ta, Nb, Ti). Chondrite-normalized plots for the plutons show variable enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREEs) with depletion of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs). The rocks of the Alemdar Pluton have homogeneous ISr values (0.70585 to 0.70673), low εNd(i) values (−3.9 to −1.6), pozitif εHf(i) values (+3.3 to +9.1), and Hf single-stage model ages (563–712 Ma), whereas those of Işıkdere have high ISr values (0.70666 to 0.70673), low εNd(i) values (−3.9 to −3.8), εHf(i) values (−3.1 to +1.1), and Hf single-stage model ages (791–969 Ma). These values imply that they have different sources. These results suggest that the magma of the Alemdar was formed by the partial melting of a relatively depleted lithospheric mantle wedge interaction of the OIB-like melts, while those of Işıkdere have derived from the partial melting of an enriched mantle metasomatized by slab-derived sediments and then modified by fractional crystallization and crustal contamination in crustal magma chambers. Considering the available data, we conclude that the studied plutons were related to extensional tectonic events during the Middle Jurassic in response to the roll-back of the Paleotethys oceanic slab in the final stage of oceanic closure. These rocks are an example of the formation of deep subduction products following Early Jurassic subduction.

    Chemical composition and biological activities of essential oils from the flowers and leaves of Celtis planchoniana K.I.Chr.

    Öz, Mehmet; Ucuncu, Osman; Baltacı, Cemalettin; Said Fidan, M.; Karatas, Seyda Merve

    Most plant parts are used in traditional food and medicine. Plants are significant resources of potential phytochemicals. This study investigated the properties of essential oil, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of the flowers and leaves of the Celtis planchoniana plant. Based on the GC/MS-FID analysis of essential oils extracted from the flowers and leaves of C. planchoniana, 101 and 91 compounds were identified from their structures, respectively. Chemical classes with the highest percentage of compounds found in essential oils of plants were oil acids, with 31.51% in flowers, and aldehydes, with 32.89% in leaves. Hexadecanoic acid (29.94%) and (E)-2-hexenal (16.11%) compounds were determined as the main components in the plant’s flowers and leaves. Among the flower and leaf samples, the highest antioxidant levels were 132.77-80.10 mg AA eq./100 mL in TAC, 17.63-118.23 mg AA eq./100 mL in ABTS, 71.41-85.15 mg GA eq./100 mL in TPC, and 15.08-15.71 mg AA eq./100 mL in DPPH capacity. According to the TFC, TPC, ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP tests conducted to determine the antioxidant properties of C. planchoniana, the essential oil obtained from its leaves demonstrated more significant antioxidant properties than the essential oil obtained from its flowers. According to the antimicrobial activity analysis, the leaf and flower essential oil samples exhibited no antimicrobial activity against the microorganisms tested.

    Yiğitbaş, Çağla; Elkoca, Ayşe; Özcan, Handan

    The aim of the study was to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on posttraumatic growth and to identify the influential factors. Quantitative method was used. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Permissions were obtained before the research. The sample size was calculated with the formula t2xs2/d2. After the calculation, 106 people who consented to participate in the study were reached. Data were collected by convenience sampling method. The mean age of the participants was 31.61 ± 11.05 years. 58.5% of the participants were female and 44.3% were married. The rate of those who said they had a high income was 9.4%. More than half of the participants stated that they experienced anxiety due to the pandemic, and more than half stated that they had this disease at home. Those who reported that they were not currently working, those who thought that their mental health was affected, and those who reported experiencing anxiety due to the pandemic had higher scores on the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Posttraumatic growth and its sub-dimensions were found to make a difference in terms of some sociodemographic characteristics. Repeating this research in different cultural societies will be decisive and clarifying in terms of results.
