    Havalı Tüfek Sporcularının Bazı Fizyolojik ve Motorik Özelliklerinin Atış Performansları Üzerine Etkisi

    Can, İbrahim; Bayrakdaroğlu, Serdar; Ertürk, Ceren

    Bu araştırmanın amacı, havalı tüfek sporcularının bazı fizyolojik ve motorik özelliklerinin atış performansı üzerine etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, çalışmaya Havalı Silahlar Türkiye Kupası ve Havalı Silahlar Türkiye Şampiyonasına katılan ve derece yapan toplam 20 havalı tüfek atış sporcusu (yaş: 15,75 ± 2,20 yıl, boy: 165 ± ,06 cm, vücut ağırlığı: 49,99 ± 12,43 kg) gönüllü olarak katıldı. Bu çalışmada, katılımcıların boy uzunluğu ve vücut kompozisyonları ölçüldü ve daha sonra el kavrama kuvveti, sırt- bacak kuvveti, kalp atım hızı, esneklik, vital kapasite, reaksiyon zamanı, statik ve dinamik denge testleri yaptırıldı. Katılımcıların atış başarısını belirlemek için on (10) atıştan meydana gelen bir (1) seri atış yaptırıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; değişkenlerin normal dağılıma uygun olup olmadığını belirlenmesi için Kolmogorov-Smirnov normallik testi yapıldı. Katılımcıların bir seri atış puanları ve ölçümler arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi için pearson korelasyon analizi uygulandı. Ölçüm sonuçlarının bir seri atış başarısına etkisinin incelenmesinde ise basit doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Analiz sonuçlarına göre; katılımcıların bir seri atış puanı ile beklenen ve ölçülen vital kapasite, esneklik, sağ ve sol el kavrama kuvveti ile sırt ve bacak kuvveti değerleri arasında pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon elde edildi (p<0,05). Buna karşılık, diğer parametreler ile katılımcıların bir seri atış puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı elde edildi (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, bazı performans parametrelerinin atış performansını etkilediği sonucuna ulaşıldı.

    High-Risky Sectors in Terms of Work Accidents in Turkey

    Ceylan, Hüseyin; Kaplan, Ahmet; Bekar, Murat

    Work accidents are serious issues that disrupt harmonious environment in workplace. They cause not only death, injury or disability of employees, but also serious financial loss for businesses and countries. Work accidents are highly preventable incidents, when necessary, precautions are taken. Like the whole world, in Turkey also there are risky sectors where work accidents are intensified. The identification of risky sectors in Turkey, is the first step of being able to fight against work accidents in this sector. Therefore, in this study the riskiest sectors in Turkey were investigated basing on the official accident data from the last ten years. Thus, first of all, the sectoral distribution of work accidents, death and permanent incapacity cases that occurred in Turkey in 2010-2019 was examined. Sectors were evaluated in terms of six different parameters: the number of work accidents, the number of deaths because of work accidents, the number of permanent incapacities because of work accidents, general accident incidence rate, fatal accident incidence rate, and permanent incapacity accident incidence rate. The top ten sectors with intensity have been determined for each parameter. Then, all these data were combined and the ten most risky sectors in Turkey in terms of work accidents were defined. In the last 10 years, the sector of "41-Building Construction" has been found to be the riskiest sector in Turkey, where the most work accidents have occurred, the most employees die and the most employees are permanently disabled. On the other hand, the "05- Mining of Coal and Lignite" sector, in which the general accident incidence rate, fatal accident incidence rate, and permanent incapacity accident incidence rate values are the highest, was the second most risky sector.

    Public Expenditures, Economic Growth and Income Inequality: Empirical Evidence from the Commonwealth of Independent States

    Recepoglu, Mursit

    This study has examined the causality relationship between public expenditures, economic growth and income inequality for transition economies called the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In the study, in which the 1998-2019 period was analyzed, the effects of public expenditures on economic growth and income inequality were determined with the bootstrap panel causality test. Bootstrap panel causality test results show that there is a one-way causality relationship from public expenditures to economic growth for Armenia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. On the other hand, a one-way causality relationship has been determined from public expenditures to income inequality in Belarus and Kazakhstan, and from income inequality to public expenditures in Kyrgyzstan. In Moldova and Russia, however, no causal relationship could be obtained between the variables. The overall evaluation of the findings obtained from the panel causality tests concluded that public expenditures in CIS member countries are closely related to both economic growth and income inequality. CIS member countries need state interventions in order for the market system to fully settle in transition period. However, implementing policies that do not exclude private investments and do not harm the functioning of the market economy should be elaborated during practicing public expenditure policies in these countries in transition.

    Investigating the Relationship Between Digital Game Addiction and Sleep Quality in Adolescents

    Tuncay, Birgul; Göger, Berrin

    Objective: This study aimed to assess the digital game addiction and sleep quality in adolescents and examine the relationship between them. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 312 students from three high schools located in a district center in the Eastern Black Sea Region, who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the descriptive information form, the digital game addiction scale, and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Results: The mean age of the participants was 15.99 +/- 0.85 years. Of the participants, 78.5% played digital games on computers, mobile phones, tablets, or game rooms. The mean score of the participants on the digital game addiction scale was 12.46 +/- 5.57; 16.3% were game addicts. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index mean score was 4.72 +/- 2.53, with a score range of 0-13; 34.9% had poor sleep quality. Conclusion: In conclusion, a positive, low-level, statistically significant relationship was found between the digital game addiction scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores (r=0.157, p <= 0.001). As the digital game addiction scores increase in adolescents, their sleep quality scores also increase. Game addiction and sleep-related problems in adolescents can negatively affect their physical and psychological health and academic success. Adequate supervision and protective measures are required to reduce the problems faced by adolescents when using digital technology.

    Sever, Mehmet Onur; Zambak, Omer

    In this study, the effect of 12-week basic swimming training of sports science students on some respiratory parameters was determined. In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of Gumushane University School of Physical Education and Sports, 64 (111) male students who did not take swimming lessons and 47 who took swimming lessons participated voluntarily. The experimental group was given breath work for 12 weeks during the course content and for 10 minutes at the end. Measurements were taken from the students twice before and after the 12-week education. SPSS 25.0 program was used in the analysis of the data collected within the scope of the research. Independent comparison of age, height and body weight measurements of the athletes in the experimental and control groups. Samples T Test was used. In the comparison of time, group, group x time changes of FVC, MVV, VC and FEV1 measurements, Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis was used. Statistical significance level was taken as (p<0.05). As a result of the research, a significant result could not be reached in FVC and FEV1 values between Tests, Groups and Group x time intervals, whereas VC was only between tests. However, statistically significant differences were found between MVV and VC Tests, Groups and Group x Time values. In short, it has been shown that students who take swimming lessons have statistically higher lung volumes than students who do not take the lesson. However, swimming activity can be recommended to increase respiratory efficiency of university students.

    Technologized Life as an Imagining of Eternality from Antenatal to Post-Mortem

    Demir, Sertac Timur

    In this article, everyday technology, which tends to expand without limits, is discussed in the context of contemporary practices that start from antenatal to death and that correspond to the desire for immortality of modern man. For this purpose, it is examined how technology intervenes in life and death through the episodes of Arkangel, Right Be Back, and San Junipero in Black Mirror, the popular science fiction series. In this study, the current social and human dilemmas that appear in the narratives are discussed, without ignoring the technical analysis of the series. In this respect, gene based medical studies that reformat the body, smart and synthetic technologies that add a new dimension to digital control and surveillance, contemporary medical and technoscientific assumptions about death and immortality are debated. The theoretical framework of this article consists of theoreticians such as Jean Baudrillard, David Le Breton and Byung Chul Han who consider that the change in social structure and relations is mainly driven by technology and critically approach this unavoidable trend. According to the main argument and inference of this research, technologies that can descend to every part of the body are no longer just the comfort and convenience extensions of daily lite, and they affect almost all ontological processes between existence and extinction by being articulated with human destiny. However, this global trend is also the loss of the natural and the real for the modern characters who are deprived of the human conditions such as pain and death that make life precious.

    The Effect Of Conspicuous Consumption Behavior On Wasteful Consumption Behavior: The Intermediary Role Of Hedonic Consumption Behavior

    Avci, Ibrahim

    The concept of consumption, which has an important place in people's lives, is generally expressed as the use of produced goods and services in line with needs. Consumption now includes the psychological needs of people as well as their physical needs. Consumers can buy things they do not need by acting pleasure-orientedly, and they exhibit consumption behaviors to provide psychological satisfaction. One of the consumer-purchase patterns is found to demonstrate others in the social environment. Therefore, non-need consumption focused on pleasure and display causes excessive consumption; this situation can also cause wastefulness. Accordingly, in the present study, the aim was to examine the effect ofconspicuous consumption behavior on wasteful consumption behavior and the mediating role of hedonic consumption behavior in this effect. With the online survey form prepared, 519 participants were reached between the dates of 21.05.2020-06.07.2020. The data obtained were analyzed with the SPSS 21, AMOS 24, and PROCESS 3.5 programs. After the analysis, it was concluded that conspicuous consumption behavior has an effect on wasteful consumption behavior and that hedonic consumption behavior has a mediating effect.

    Yildiz, Huseyin Alperen; Demirkiran, Engin Denizhan; Madendere, Serdar; Deger, Muslim Dogan

    Objective: To compare the clinical preferences of urologists in prostate cancer screening and diagnosis with current guideline recommendations.Materials and Methods: The study is based on an online survey that consists of 21 single response or multiple response questions. By e-mail, 2,305 certified urologists in active practice as well as urology residents in their last year of training were invited to participate in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze practice patterns and demographics. The respondents were divided into groups based on their experience in urology, hospital type and academic title.Results: Our results show that preferences of the majority of urologists conflicts with recommendations of European Association of Urology Prostate Cancer Guidelines regarding prostate biopsy method, management of a patient with high prostate-specific antigen value, use of additional test and performance scoring systems, role of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging.Conclusion: Urologists act in the direction of their habits or clinical experience rather than current guidelines regardless of their experience. Both clinicians and professional organizations should work on what can be done about the reflection of rapidly changing scientific knowledge on the field and the improvement of the health service provided.

    Piyade, Hamdi Burak; Basoglu, Mahmut; Gürsoy, Ersan

    Objective: Thyroid gland surgery and its surgical complications are situations that a surgeon frequently encounters in his daily practice. In our study, it was aimed to examine the effect of different treatment methods given to patients who underwent thyroidectomy on hypocalcemia. Material and Methods: Three hundred and seventy-one patients who underwent thyroidectomy at Ondokuz Mayis University Medical Faculty General Surgery clinic between December 2016 and January 2021 were retrospectively included in the study. Parameters such as surgery indications, fine needle aspiration biopsy results, preoperative serum calcium values, type of surgery, serum calcium values at postoperative 1st day and 1st month, postoperative hospital stay, drugs prescribed at discharge, histopathological diagnosis of the patient, and whether there was incidental parathyroidectomy or not were included. Results: Mean age of 371 patients who underwent thyroidectomy was 49 (19-82) years. Total thyroidectomy was the most common type of thyroidectomy with 61% (n= 225) of the patients. There was a significant decrease in pre- op and post-op calcium values in all three types of surgery performed on the patients, and there was no significant difference between the different types of surgery. Post-operative day one and month one serum calcium values were significantly increased in all groups (p=.000). The increase in post-op serum calcium level was most common in the group using calcium carbonate + cholecalciferol + calcitriol. Conclusion: The use of post-op calcitriol in patients undergoing thyroidectomy seems to be quite effective in preventing the development of hypocalcemia.

    Urologists Are No Longer the Primary Surgeons for Several Urologic Operations: A National Survey Among the Turkish Urologists

    Madendere, Serdar; Deger, Muslim Dogan; Demirkiran, Engin Denizhan; Yildiz, Huseyin Alperen

    Objective: To investigate the role, interest, and competence of the Turkish urologists for urologic surgeries which are also performed by the other surgeons. Materials and Methods: We conducted a 22-item online survey and invited urologists by e-mail. Questions were asked to evaluate the attitudes, performances, and capabilities of the urologists in surgeries which could be performed by the other surgeons. Results: A total of 305 responses were evaluated. The female incontinence surgery, pediatric urologic surgery, and adrenal surgery are mostly performed by the urologists in their hospitals. Turkish urologists mostly do not perform the following surgeries and interventions themselves and refer patients to the other surgeons for a percutaneous nephrostomy (47.2%), urinary diversions using the intestinal segments (44.9%), kidney transplantation (11.8%), and the transgender surgeries (7.2%). Almost half of the urologists do not perform adrenal surgeries (50.2%). Most urologists agree that they should be the main surgeons for all these surgeries. Conclusion: Urologists are no longer the main surgeons for some surgeries which are included on the urologic curriculum. Many urologists avoid performing the major urologic surgeries. Urology educators should familiarize the new urologists with all the urologic surgeries.

    Ozcan, Handan; Sahan, Ozlem; Gunay, Mehmet; Simsek, Hediye

    Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the self-care agency of women during pregnancy. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used in the study. The population of the study consisted of women with pregnancy who presented to obstetrics outpatient clinics in Gumushane public hospital between January 30, 2018 and June 20, 2018, and the sample included women who accepted to voluntarily participate in the study (n=201). Data collection tools included a personal information form and the SelfCare Agency Scale. The data were analyzed on a statistical software package, and the level of significance was determined as p<0.05. Results: : The mean age of the pregnant women who participated in the study was 27.50 +/- 4.84 (min.-max.=18-41), 72.5% of them had high school and higher education, and 54.8% was housewives. Profession, adequate and balanced nutrition, participation in social activities, and getting social support were found to create statistically significant differences in self-care agency scale scores (p<0,05). It was determined that more than half of the women with pregnancy had a very good level of self-care agency. Conclusion: Many factors (increasing number of curettage, occupational groups, participation in social activities, adequate and balanced nutrition, and support from the family) affect the self-care agency of women during pregnancy. It is recommended that health professionals discuss and evaluate self-care issues in pregnancy in their in-service education programs.

    Sahin, Ceyda Uzun; Aydin, Merve; Kulakaç, Nursen

    BACKGROUND/AIMS: The global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic affects society seriously in terms of psychosocial aspects, but this effect is more intense on some specific population groups. University students are among the most affected population groups by the pandemic. This study was conducted to determine the anxiety, motivation, stress levels, and associated factors among health science students during the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The population of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of students studying at health-related departments in three universities in Turkey. The data were collected from 855 students determined by the stratified sampling method using the online survey method. A questionnaire developed by the researchers and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were used to collect the data. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, One-Way ANOVA test, Pearson correlation, and linear regression analysis were performed to evaluate the data. RESULTS: The results revealed that the mean age of the students was 20.85 +/- 2.37 years (min: 18; max: 41), 80.5% were women, 38.0% were nursing students, 13.7% had a family member with the diagnosis of COVID-19. The BAI mean score was found to be 29.00 +/- 7.8. According to the multiple linear regression analysis, the factors affecting students' anxiety scores significantly were being female, impaired sleep and nutrition patterns, decreased motivation, increased stress level and having a family member with the diagnosis of COVID-19. CONCLUSION: Health science students experience severe anxiety due to COVID-19 pandemic and have moderate motivation and stress scores. Being a woman, having impaired sleep and nutrition patterns, reduced motivation, increased stress level and a family member diagnosed with COVID-19 are factors influencing the level of anxiety.

    The cultural practice of decluttering as household work and its potentials for sustainable consumption

    Muster, Viola; Iran, Samira; Muensch, Marlene

    Popular literature and guidebooks on minimalism and decluttering have brought the idea of less is more into the mainstream. Although decluttering constitutes a central household chore in consumer societies, it is rarely communicated as work within the current popular minimalism discourse, but rather as an expression of self-care. Whether and to what extent this lifestyle minimalism can contribute to sustainable consumption has - with a few exceptions - not yet been studied in detail. In this article, decluttering is first conceptualized in between housework and self-care. Based on this work, potentials and limits for the promotion of sustainable consumption are outlined. Finally, initial insights from an ongoing citizen science project on decluttering in Germany are presented. The qualitative results from two workshops and two reflection exercises show that the main motivation for participants is the dissatisfaction with their multitude of possessions and the desire for fewer material possessions in the future. The decision to declutter can be understood as a window of opportunity in which individuals are willing to reflect on and realign their possessions and desires for goods. Thus, we argue that decluttering can be a relevant starting point for changing consumption behavior toward (more) sustainable consumption. At the same time, it remains unclear whether and to what extent the participants' willingness to change regarding possessions and consumption actually leads to more sustainable consumption behavior after decluttering. It is even conceivable that the newly gained space will stimulate additional consumption. Decluttering would then rather function as a catalyst for further consumption (and would have no or rather a negative contribution to sustainability goals). Further research is needed to shed light on this.

    TURKEY'S LIBYA APPROACH AND IRINI OPERATION ON THE GREECE ISSUE

    Gürdal, Elif; Ince, Fuat

    After the overthrow of the Gaddafi administratio, UN and NATO intervention in Libyan lands took place, and then a political multi-headed structure emerged. Shortly before the overthrow of the Gaddafi administration, energy reserves of which workability was discovered have emerged in the Eastern Mediterranean. This discovery has been an important factor of the political confusion and the effort to carry out the power struggle between states through Libya. Greece tries to be effective in the political authority that is tried to be created in Libya and tries to passivate Turkey in the Aegean and the Mediterranean. In this power struggle, Turkey signed the Delimitation of The Maritime Jurisdiction Areas in The Mediterranean and Military Cooperation Agreements with the National Government of Accord in Libya both to respond to the defense of the Aegean land and sea areas occupied by Greece, to protect the jurisdiction rights in the Eastern Mediterranean and to protect the maritime jurisdictions belonging to the TRNC. These agreements disturbed other states in the region who were struggling for power. Therefore, the EU declared itself authority to control the arms embargo requested by the UN on Libya and launched the IRINI operation. However, the IRINI operation is seen as an attempt to squeeze Turkey in the Mediterranean region. In the light of these information and researches, this study is a qualitative research that handles Turkey's Eastern Mediterranean and Libya approach th
