    Hokkabaz (Juggler) Book of Ahmet Mithat Efendi

    Kul, Gül Nihal; Yok

    Ahmet Mithat Efendi who directed modern Turkish literature with his articles on many types and subjects is a expert writer. In this study, was published in AH.1292/G.1875 the “Juggler Book” which he wrote in the Arabic alphabet was translated into the Latin alphabet. The Juggler Book consists of thirty-four cases with an introduction and juggling shows. Expressing that some parts of the work written in French were translated quickly in the introduction, Ahmet Mithat Efendi emphasized that this work is not just a juggling book based on handiness and blindfold. In the shows in the work, chemistry, physics and mathematical sciences have combined with quickness and linguistic skills, both has been gained the appreciation of the public and has been kept their sense of curiosity alive by surprisingly. Ahmet Mithat Efendi saw the juggling/magic show performances that the public is familiar with watching games as an art that requires great mastery and explained the juggling/ magic show which can be done in friend environments in a language and style that everyone can understand. He also gave examples for better understanding and performance of some sections and opened additional titles such as “secrecy, i.e. warning for the translator.” With this work, which is transferred to the Latin alphabet, it is aimed that both a work from the Ahmet Mithat Efendi library will have the opportunity to meet more readers and contribute to the existing cultural experience of juggling / magic in the time that has passed since the traditional Turkish theatre.

    Modern Man in Techno-Scientific Progressivism and Nostalgic-Developmentalism Dilemma

    Demir, Sertac Timur

    This article interrogates the human crisis of the modern age with a comparative and synthesist approach. Indeed, in the hands of techno-scientific progressivism that has been accelerated since the industrial revolution and the nostalgic-developmentalism that is provoked by the progressivism, the central issue in crisis is not humanity; but man himself. Moreover, this crisis, which encircles daily life entirely, is not merely epistemological, also ontological. Perhaps the most valid question of the day for the modern individual who is torn between techno-scientific progressivism that glorifies speed, technique, method, invention and externality, and the doctrines of nostalgicaldevelopmentalism that prioritise the past, memory, mystical orientation and internality, is perhaps to remain human. While Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), one of the two philosophical films subject to analysis in the article, refers to such a progressivism; and Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) visualises developmentalism. Beyond a science-fiction analysis, this study, which approaches both positions critically, aims to focus on the crucial questions that become evident in the films with the answers of significant thinkers such as Paul Chesterton, Gaston Bachelard, Gunther Anders, Ivan Illich, Lewis Mumford, Zygmunt Bauman and Y. Noah Harari. Besides, as a proposition, it can be stated that today sci-fi movies -even the most extraordinary ones- have ironically turned into one of the most authentic projectors in making sense of the fantastic world we live in.

    Criticism of Kant's Conception of Freedom in Adorno

    Tüzen, Muhammed Ahmet

    Adorno, who has critical thoughts on the positivist perspective that is the core of the philosophy of Enlightenment and the mental comprehension to which positivism depends, states that Kant's notion of freedom, which puts strictly adhesion to the law in the center, is an abstract, disconnected from experience, compelling/oppressive nature. Accordingly, Kant, who activates the mind against the blind power of nature, explains the free action as to act according to the pure mind. In Kant, which approaches moral laws as freedom laws, freedom is considered as the law that both is to use of the mind in an absolute manner and must be obeyed and treated accordingly. In this context, Adorno implies that Kant's moral philosophy is structured in such a way as not to allow it to act otherwise, although it does not have authoritarian thoughts. This study which is based on Adorno's thoughts aims to evaluate Kant's understanding of freedom in four parts within the above-mentioned framework: (i) Freedom as a balancing force against the causality of nature, (ii) freedom disconnected from experience and spiritualized, (iii) freedom to express action by centering the law, (iv) freedom intertwined with bourgeois work ethic.

    Investigation of Fosfomycin and Chloramphenicol Susceptibility of Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains

    Borsa, Baris Ata; Güngördü-Dalar, Zeynep; Karakullukçu, Asiye; Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Aygün, Gokhan

    Objective: Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most mportant health problems of recent years. Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have been causing serious problems in many countries including Turkey in recent years. Aim of this study was to detect molecular mechanisms behind the carbapenem resistance in carbapenem-resistant K. pneurnoniae strains isolated from rectal swab samples and investigate the susceptibility of two potentially alternative drugs, fosfornycin, and chloramphenicol. Methods: 46 K. pneumoniae strains isolated from rectal screening cultures of intensive care unit patients by using MacConkey agar containing 2 mg/L meropenem were included in this study. Carbapenem resistance of strains were confirmed by minimum inhibitor concentrations of meropenem obtained with gradient strip test. Presence of the bla(KPC,) bla(NDM) and bla(OXA), bla(IMP) and bla(VIM) genes were investigated by the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Broth microdilution method was used to investigate chloramphenicol susceptibility, and gradient strip test was used to investigate fosfomycin susceptibility of the strains. Results: At least one carbapenemase gene was detected in all K. pneumoniae strains. While all strains were found positive for the presence of OXA-48 type carbapenemase gene, 12 (26%) out of 46 were positive for both OXA-48 and NDM-1 carbapenemase genes, and only one (2%) strain was positive for OXA-48, NDM-1, and IMP-1 carbapenemase genes. Only 3 (6%) out of 46 strains were found susceptible to fosfomycin while 23 (50%) of them were susceptible to chloramphenicol. Additionally, we observed that the resistance rates to fosfomycin and chloamphenicol tended to be higher among carbapenemase producers. Conclusions: It is estimated that fosfomycin is not going to be a good option for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenemresistant K. pneumoniae strains in Turkey since only 6% of them were susceptible. Although the chloramphenicol susceptibility rate (50%) was higher than fosfomycin, further clinical studies are required to provide a better knowledge about the usage of this antibiotic in systemic infections. Moreover, multiple carbapenemase producers tended to be more resistant to fosfomycin and also chloramphenicol.

    Pasli, Sinan; Imamoglu, Melih; Çiçek, Mustafa; Yadigaroglu, Metin; Sahin, Aynur; Karaca, Yunus; Yulug, Esin; Tatli, Ozgur

    Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on ischemic tissue in brain and cardiac and hepatic tissues in experimentally induced carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication. Material and Methods: Thirty-five mature female Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into five groups of seven animals each. Group 1 received no CO or treatment. Rats in groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 were made to inhale a high-concentration 5000 ppm CO gas mixture for 60 min at 4 L/min. CO levels were then measured from 1 mL tail vein blood. Group 2 received no therapeutic agent, group 3 received 6 mg/kg intraperitoneal (ip) DMSO, group 4 received 50 mg/kg ip EP, group 5 received 50 mg/kg EP and 6 mg/kg DMSO ip. All rats were sacrificed by decapitation. Brain, cardiac and hepatic tissues were removed and histopathological scores were compared. Results: Comparison of group 2 with group 3 and group 2 with group 5 revealed that DMSO alone and EP + DMSO exhibited a reducing effect on degree of cerebral neuronal alteration, degenerative neuron rates, and total cardiac injury score (p=0.005, p=0.002, p=0.004 and p=0.002, p=0.001, p=0.004 respectively). There was no histopathological difference between group 2 and group 4 suggesting EP alone had no therapeutic effect on histopathological injury. Conclusion: Based on our study findings, EP administered alone exhibited no protective effects on the organ injuries investigated, while DMSO exhibited reducing effects on degree of neuron alteration, rates of degenerative neurons, and total cardiac injury scores. An ameliorating effect on cardiac and hepatic injury was more prominent with combined treatment.

    Objective Studies focusing attention on the effects of environmental pollution on the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) are on the increase. The aim of this study was to determine MS prevalence in a city home to an iron and steel factory which causes air pollution. Methods The study was designed as a cross-sectional, population-based, descriptive epidemiologic study. Eregli city, which has an iron and steel factory and proven air pollution, was screened. Additionally, Devrek city, which is a rural and clean city, located 40 km away from Eregli was assigned and results were compared. A validated questionnaire was used for screening. McDonald 2010 criteria were used to diagnose cases. Results 32 261 people were screened in Eregli, and 21 963 people were screened in Devrek. In total, 41 patients were diagnosed with clinical definite MS. Crude prevalence was found to be 96.1/100 000 in Eregli and 45.5/100 000 in Devrek. The mean age of patients was 39.8, and the female/male ratio was 1.9. Conclusion The results of this study indicate a more than double MS prevalence rate in the area home to an iron and steel factory when compared to the rural city. This supports the hypothesis that air pollution may be a possible etiological factor in MS.

    Bayrakdaroglu, Serdar; Ari, Erdal; Özkamçi, Huseyin; Can, Ibrahim

    Purpose: The aerobic fitness in soccer is an important performance component. The aerobic endurance level of players may positively effect performance of critical match activities. The examination of Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (YYIRT) performance of young soccer players at different playing positions was aimed in this study. Material: The research group was consisted of 75 young soccer players playing at U-21 category of professional soccer teams at different leagues. The soccer players at 5 different playing positions participated in study voluntarily (centerback: n=15, fullback: midfielder: n=15, winger: n=15, forward: n=15). The YYIRT (level 1) was performed for determination aerobic endurance parameters (covered distance during test, maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and maximal aerobic speed (MAS) of players. The one-way ANOVA analysis was used for comparison between playing positions of YYIRT parameters. Results: It was determined that difference between YYIRT parameters of players at different playing positions was non-significant (p>0.05). However, the midfielders covered more distance (2425,33 +/- 440,42 m) than forward (2146,67 +/- 339,64 m), winger (2137,33 +/- 615,18 m), fullback (2056,00 +/- 512,43 m) and centerback (1960,00 +/- 313,51 m) players. The positional requirements of midfielders may be decisive on covered distance during YYIRT. Conclusions: Consequently, it may be said that the young soccer players at different playing positions had similar YYIRT performance and the playing position effect on YYIRT performance could vary depending on league level and individual features of players.

    Effect of filler percentage of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials on CBR performance and cost analysis

    Seferoglu, Aysegul Gunes; Seferoglu, Mehmet Tevfik; Akpinar, Muhammet Vefa; Çelik, Muhammet

    Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials are an alternative to natural aggregate (NA) because they reduce environmental pollution and provide energy and cost savings. In many countries abroad, the usage of RAP materials in road pavement layers are permissible at certain rates. However, the mechanical properties of RAP materials are dependent on; the materials are derived from the in which pavement layer, the service life and construction characteristics of the road it is milled, the properties of the materials used (bitumen and aggregate) in the layer and the characteristics of the milling machine. In this study, two types of RAP materials (RAP(1) and RAP(2)) obtained from the degraded wearing layers of two different roadway using milling machine were mixed with NA in different rates (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, 100%). Some of the characteristics of the mixtures were examined with reference to 100% NA mixture values by performing laboratory tests such as bitumen ratio, sieve analysis, modified proctor and California bearing ratio (CBR) on the mixtures obtained. According to the results, maximum rates of RAP(1) and RAP(2) which can be used in plant-mix base type-1 layer as an alternative material to NA is determined according to Turkey Highway Technical Specification. In addition, in the case of using RAP materials, the profit rates of material costs to be reduced by the reduction of the need for NA material are also determined by cost analysis.

    Gül, Zeynep; Tang, Mustafa; Yolcu, Halil

    The effects of applications of zeolite, nitrogen and zeolite + nitrogen on yield, quality and some morphological traits of silage corn was researched at the Research Station of the Agriculture Faculty, University of Ataturk, Eastern Turkey, during 2012 and 2013. Treatments included a control, three zeolite (Z(1): 500, Z(2): 1000, Z(3): 1500 kg ha(-1)), three nitrogen (N-1: 50, N-2: 100, N-3: 150 kg ha(-1)) and nine combinations of zeolite + nitrogen. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with three replications. The application of zeolite + nitrogen application enhanced silage yield by 5.8-18.9%, dry matter yield by 4.5-21.4%, corncob rate by 6.6%, plant height by 3.0-16.1% and leaf rate by 17.5%. Further, the application of zeolite + medium or low nitrogen application produced similar silage yield, dry matter yield, dry matter rate, crude protein content, ADF, NDF, corncob rate, stem rate, plant height and leaf rate in comparison to the highest level nitrogen application. The results indicate that the application of zeolite + nitrogen can be used to increase efficiency of nitrogen and to decrease nitrogen requirements in silage corn for yield and other parameters.

    Sahin, Aynur; Pasli, Sinan; Cicek, Mustafa; Karahan, Suleyman Caner; Mentese, Ahmet; Yulug, Esin; Karaca, Yunus; Tatli, Ozgur

    Purpose: To investigate the healing effect of resveratrol on ischemia, inflammation and oxidative injury in brain and heart tissue of rats in an experimentally induced carbonmonoxide (CO) intoxication model. Methods: Twenty-eight mature female Spraque Dawley rats were randomized into four groups of seven animals each. Groups I and II inhaled room air for 60 minutes. Groups III and IV inhaled a high concentration of a 5000 ppm CO gas mixture at 4 L/min until loss of consciousness. Blood CO levels were measured from 1 mL blood specimens collected from the tail vein. Groups I and III received 1 mL of normal saline while groups II and IV received 25 mg/kg resveratrol intraperitoneally. At the end of 48 hour, the rats were sacrified and later blood, brain and heart tissue samples were taken for histopathological and biochemical evaluation. Neuron damage scores, percentages of degenerate neurons and apoptosis rates in the cortex and hypothalamus were calculated in brain tissues. Myocyte degeneration, vascular congestion and myocyte apoptosis rates were calculated in heart tissues. Total antioxidant (TAS), total oxidant (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were also calculated from the tissue samples. Results: Histopathological evaluation revealed that resveratrol significantly reduced tissue damage in the brain when groups III and IV were compared (p<0.05). Resveratrol also reduced cardiac myocyte degeneration and myocyte apoptosis rate in heart tissue (p=0.004 and p=0.002). No positive effect was determined at analysis of antioxidant parameters. Conclusion: The results of this study investigated that resveratrol administration in experimental setting may be beneficial in healing injury secondary to CO intoxication in brain and heart tissue.

    The Scale of Allah Imagination

    Karaca, Faruk; Hacikelesoglu, Hizir

    In this study, a culture-sensitive measurement tool was developed to measure the imaginary forms of God. Psychometric analysis conducted with scale showed that the scale is reliable and valid enough. The scale of Allah imagination has a structure consisting of four factors and 19 items that explain 50.35% of the total variance. According to factor analysis, the first factor is Dismissive God image (careless), the second factor is Frightening God (fear-punishment oriented), the third factor is Loving and Frightening God (balanced), and the fourth factor is Loving God (love oriented). As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the four-factor structure of the scale was confirmed. Cronbach's alpha, which is regarded as a criterion for internal consistency, is measured as proportional to=.61 for the scale of Allah Imagination. While the same items were analyzed via split half method, it is seen that the coefficient of correlation is.69. The correlation coefficient between the results of two measurements with 53 people and 10 days interval was calculated as.69, (p <.01). As a result of the analysis, it can be stated that the scale of Allah imagination is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

    Evaluation of Patients Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Followed in Our Clinic

    Kurt, Esma Kepenek; Kandemir, Bahar; Erayman, Ibrahim; Bulut, Rukiyye; Bitirgen, Mehmet

    Introduction: The number of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in our country is increasing day by day. In this study, epidemiological, clinical, laboratory features, treatment regimens and side effects of HIV/AIDS cases followed in our clinic were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Fifty-four patients who were followed up with HIV infection in our clinic between 2000-2018 were examined retrospectively. Results: Of the 54 patients, 18 (33.3%) were females and 36 (66.7%) were males. Mean age was 42.0 +/- 15.2 (18-70) years. Mean duration of the disease was median 3 (0.5-28) and the duration of clinical follow-up was 3.3 +/- 2.7 (0.5-10) years. A total of 44 (88%) patients had risky sexual contact, and nine women were infected by her husband. The first complaint of the patients for admission to our clinic was weakness (22.2%) and fever (9.3%). Patients were diagnosed most frequently during routine examinations (48%). Mean CD4 count of the patients at the time of admission was 317.2 +/- 247.7 (7-918) cell/mm(3), and HIV-RNA was median 61000 (0-30000000) copy/mL. The most frequent treatment was tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-emtricitabine and lopinavir/ritonavir (TDF-FTC and LPV/r) in 24.4% of the patients. Treatment was changed in 14 (25.9%) patients. In five patients, noncompliance to treatment and in five patients, side effects were encountered, and treatment was changed. Hyperlipidemia was the most common side effect (52.9%) in patients receiving treatment. Prophylaxis was given to 50% of the patients in terms of opportunistic infections at the beginning of treatment. One patient had gonococcal urethritis and one patient had HPV infection in the cervix. Four patients discontinued treatment and 46 patients continued treatment. One female patient was exitus. Conclusion: The number of HIV/AIDS patients, a chronic disease, is increasing also in our country. Early diagnosis of these patients should be made, and the disease should be controlled by providing access to treatment and suppression of viral load.

    Kaya, Hacer; Macit, Muhlis

    This study was carried out to determine the effects of boron addition into the diets on serum parameters of hens. A total of 288 Lohman laying commercial hybrid chickens of 62 weeks were fed for 12 weeks with four different rations containing basal feed 0 (B0), 50 (B50), 75 (B75) and 150 (B150) mg / kg B. Each group was replicated in 18 cages, four hens per cage. During the study, 16 hours lighting program was applied, feed and water were given as ad-libitum. The effect of boron supplementation was not significant on the rates of diacylglycerol and hydrocarbon+cholesterol esters (P>0.05) but the rates of polarlipid, triacylglycerol (P<0.05), and serum total cholesterol (P<0.01) were found significant. Lipid peroxidation values of groups fed with diets including 75 and 150 mg/kg B were determined lower than others. Addition of ration B affected different molecular weight proteins at different levels. In conclusion, it has been determined that the addition of B at different levels into the diets of laying hens during late laying period significantly influenced the serum lipid peroxidation, serum lipid and serum protein profile, but further researches are needed to clarify the changes related to the effects of B addition into diets on mentioned parameters of laying hens.
