Çakir, Günay; Özdemir, Mehmet
The forest conservation organizations in Turkey have recommended changing the classical forest management systems to protect forest biodiversity since 2006. This study discusses the spatio-temporal analysis of forest management activities and land use changes in Yalova Forest Ecosystems, Turkey. We focused on the Yalova City because (a) it is located in a highly urbanized area, northwestern Turkey, (b) forest is a governmental ownership and producing of many non-wood forest product and wildlife species, (c) governmental organizations are encouraged to be decreased clear-cuts to protect forest ecosystems; (d) GIS databases are available in Yalova; (e) Yalova Forestry Administration has a membership of the Mediterranean Model Forest Network in 2011, and (f) many new forest policies will be developed in Turkey after the membership of the model forest. This study used forest management plans of Yalova Forest during 1971–2008 periods and analyzed data in geographic information system (GIS). Results showed that the rate of forest area in the Yalova steadily increased from 53.4 % in 1971 to 61.2 % to 62.5 % between 1994 and 2008 respectively.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2015Scopus SJRQ4The effects of the CSR isomorphism on both CSP and CFP
Ilhan-Nas, Tülay; Koparan, Emrah; Okan, Tarhan
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the interrelationships between corporate social responsibility (CSR) isomorphism of headquarters (HQs) and their subsidiaries as well as corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) at the subsidiary level. Design/methodology/approach – This study tested these relationships through canonical correlation analyses. The data used were drawn from corporate HQ and 63 subsidiaries, which were publicly listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange in 2007. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used in the study. Findings – The results generally indicated that the isomorphism between the CSR practices of the HQ and those of their subsidiaries could impact both the CSP, especially the product and employee dimensions, and the CFP. No relationship was found to exist between the CSP and CFP. Originality/value – Despite extensive interest by scholars and practitioners in the subject area, relatively little is known about the management of CSR by the multinational enterprises (MNEs) (Meyer, 2004), as the literature does not systematically examine the effects that occur on employee performance following the diffusion of CSR among the MNEs subsidiaries. Extending earlier literature on CSR, by integrating the effect of the CFP, the present study focuses on the effects of isomorphism between the CSR practices of the MNEs and those of their subsidiaries on both CSP and CFP. Further, the study examined the interrelation of CSP and CFP from the perspective of international management. Given the increased interest in corporate governance matters at the international level, CSR plays a central and fundamentally important role in the corporate governance of the MNEs because of both globalization forces and the pressures exerted by stakeholders. In this context, this paper is one of the first to explore the transfer of CSR practices from the MNEs to their subsidiaries. The effect of CSR on performance is an important research question, especially for emerging markets (Ibrahim and Angelidis, 1995; Waddock and Graves, 1997; Ghazali, 2007; Johnson and Greening, 1999). Despite the importance of this issue, however, until recently, only a limited discussion has been evident in the literature on CSR in the international arena with particular reference given to the emerging economies. Studying the effects of the CSR isomorphism on the performance in Turkish context is justified in three ways. First, Turkey is the largest emerging economy in Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East (Tatoglu et al., 2003, p. 7). It presents the emerging nature of the market and the transitional characteristics of the institutional environment (Cavusgil et al., 2002). Second, the drivers for CSR in Turkey, such as the other emerging markets whose institutional characteristics and economic fundamentals is similar, are exogenous and institutional rather than endogenous factors (Ararat and Gocenoglu, 2006, p. 11). Excluding the philanthropic activities, the very first manifestations of CSR were observed in the business conduct of MNEs in Turkey (Ararat and Gocenoglu, 2006, p. 11). MNEs have a dominant and leader role in Turkey for CSR practices. Finally, the subsidiaries operating in Turkey are less likely to resist the transfer of the organizational policies and practices such as human resource management policies (Sayim, 2010, 2011) and organizational culture (Ilhan, 2008). In fact, they want to even transfer the policies and practices from MNEs (Sayim 2010, 2011; Ilhan, 2008). Therefore, Turkish context provides a good case to test the effects of the CSR isomorphism on the performance.

Bostan, Sedat; Salih Güran, M.
The Objective of the Study: The objective of this study was to analyze and evaluate the complaint calls made between the years of 2004 and 2009 to the Communication Center of The Ministry of Health that was founded within the framework of "The Transformation in Healthcare Project" and thus to make a contribution by providing an introducing general view of the functionality of the feedback mechanism. The Method: The sample of the study consists of 686.397 appeal calls that were made to the Ministry of Health's Communication Center between the years 2004 and 2009. The complaints have been studied in relation to a range of factors like the months of the complaints, the hour of the day, the days of the week, the age groups of the complainers, gender, and type of the complaint and the reason of complaint. Findings: By answering not only to health related appeals, but also to virtually any issue of interest for the citizens, SABIM achieved a plural involvement of the stakeholders and an "interactive administration". It realized feedback mechanisms that enabled the real-time assessment of services as they were being supplied, thus eliminating many problems that arise from lack of communication.

Background: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a serious problem to antibiotic management. We investigated the beta-lactamases in a group of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolates from Turkey. Methods: Thirty-seven strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from various clinical specimens were analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, PCR for the detection of p-lactamase genes, DNA sequencing, and repetitive extragenic palindronic (REP)- FOR analysis. Results: All 37 isolates were resistant to ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefepime, imipenem, and meropenem. The lowest resistance rates were observed for colistin (2.7%), tigecycline (11%), and amikacin (19%). According to FOR and sequencing results, 98% (36/37) of strains carried at least one carbapenemase gene, with 32 (86%) carrying OXA-48 and 7 (19%) carrying NDM-1. No other carbapenemase genes were identified. All strains carried a CTX-M-2-like beta-lactamase, and some carried SHV- (97%), TEM- (9%), and CTX-M-1-like (62%) beta-lactamases. Sequence analysis of bla(TEM) genes identified a bla(TEM-166) with an amino acid change at position 53 (Arg53Gly) from bla(TEM-1b), the first report of a mutation in this region. REP-FOR analysis revealed that there were seven different clonal groups, and temporo-spatial links were identified within these groups. Conclusions: Combinations of beta-lactamases were found in all strains, with the most common being OXA-48, SHV, TEM, and CTX-M-type (76% of strains). We have reported, for the first time, a high prevalence of the NDM-1 (19%) carbapenemase in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae from Turkey. These enzymes often co-exist with other beta-lactamases, such as TEM, SHV, and CTX-M beta-lactamases.

Antioxidant activity of the juice and seed and skin extracts prepared with methanol, acetonitrile, and water of Viburnum opulus L. grown in Eastern Black Sea Region were studied with an on-line HPLC-ABTS method and off-line antioxidant methods, among which a linear positive correlation was observed. The fruit extracts were analysed with the HPLC-UV method optimised with 14 standard phenolics. Identification of the phenolic components in the juice was made using an HPLC-UV-ESI-MS method. Nineteen phenolic compounds in juice were identified by comparing the retention times and mass spectra with those of the standards and the phenolics reported in the literature. The major peaks in the juice belonged to coumaroyl-quinic acid, chlorogenic acid, procyanidin B2, and procyanidin trimer. Quite different antioxidant composition profiles were obtained from the extracts with the solvents of different polarities. The antioxidant activities of the seed extracts were higher than those of the skin extracts in general. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the potential of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) to predict the myocardial infarction in on pump coronary artery bypass grafting (ONCABG) patients. Methods: Fifty elective isolated ONCABG patients (41 males, 9 females; mean age 66 years; range 56 to 75 years) were included in the study. Patients were divided into perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI; n=8) and non-infarction (NPMI; n=42) groups according to perioperative cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values and ECG findings. Serum IMA levels were measured preoperatively, 20 minutes after aortic cross clamping, 30 minutes, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after declamping. Results: Compared to the NPMI group, the declamping 30 minutes, 3, 6 and 12 hours IMA levels were higher in the PMI group (p=0.002, p=0.048, p=0.023, p=0.007, respectively). In both NPMI and PMI groups, the 20 minutes after aortic cross clamping IMA levels were higher compared to the preoperative IMA levels (p=0.0001, p=0.038, respectively). Conclusion: Our study results show that IMA may be an early marker of myocardial infarction in the ONCABG patients.

OBJECTIVES: Smoking is an important public health issue in Turkey. This study set out to investigate the smoking prevalence among frst andfourth grade university students as well as the associated socio-demographic variables.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A survey was carried out by the International Children s Centre (ICC) in the faculties of Science and Literature,Education and Medicine of nine Turkish Universities to determine the knowledge and life styles of the 1st and 4th grade university studentsin adolescence (2009). A total of 5.221 students were evaluated. Data were analysed using SPPS 16.0-9907290 statistical package program.RESULTS: The frst grade students with illiterate mothers (23.0%), those who were living alone at home (37.7%) and those who consideredreceiving inadequate pocket money (24.9%) had a higher level of smoking prevalence (p<0.05). The fourth grade students with illiteratemothers (34.9%), those who were living with their friends (34.0%), those who perceived their economic situation bad (37.7%) and thosewho considered receiving inadequate pocket money (36.3%) had a higher level of smoking prevalence (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: A relationship between smoking habits of university students and some socio-demographic characteristics was found.We believe that more priority should be given to health promotion interventions among university students, especially among those of lowsocioeconomic status. On the other hand, in order to monitor the effcacy of smoking-related interventions among young people, there is aneed for early detection of young individuals who are at risk and urgent interventions should be carried out.

Can, İbrahim; Cihan, Hamit; Ari, Erdal
The basic purpose of this study was to investigate of the relationships with sprint and jump performance of velocity parameters during propulsive phase of full back squat exercise and to determine which variable was associated with which loading loading. For this purpose, thirty-two men amateur athletes (age: 20.4 ± 1.98 years; height: 179.3 ± 7.23 cm; weight: 73.5 ± 9.85 kg) who actively involved in sports and have a basic level of force participated in voluntarily to this study. In the study, one repetition maximum (1RM) full squat (SQ) strength test, vertical jump test, 5 meters and 30 meters sprint test were applied. The descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis was used for statistical evaluation of datas. According to analysis results; it was obtained that mean velocity (MV), mean propulsive velocity (MPV) and peak velocity (PV) values during propulsive phase of full back squat exercise performed in different loads were decreased in parallel with load increase. In addition, it was obtained that there was no statistically a significant relationships between 5 meters sprint times and vertical jump performance with MV, MPV and PV values during propulsive phase of full back SQ exercise performed at different loads of 1RM (p > 0.05). Conversely, it was obtained that there was a mean level, negative and statistically significant relationship between 30 meters sprint times with MV during propulsive phase of full back SQ movement performed at 20 % and % 90 of 1RM load values (r = - .412; r = - .399, p < 0.05, respectively) and PV values obtained at 40 % and 60 % of 1RM load values (r = - .402; r = - .370, p < 0.05, respectively). Consequently, it was suggested that movement velocity is not an important component for performance parameters as 5 meter sprint and jumping height.

Sezerel, Hakan; Tonus, H. Zumrut; Ozsahin, M
Workforce diversity imposes itself as an imperative for organizations. Hence, today's organizations distinguish the diversified workforce as a tool to leverage business opportunities. In order to acquire a competitive advantage from human resources, diversity management comes to the front for all organizations. Managing diversity successfully requires a proper diversity climate for employees in all levels of organizations. This study reports the findings of a research study on the diversity climate among employees of a hotel chain. Both the t-test and one way ANOVA tests predict the perception of employees. The results show that diversity perceptions of employees predominantly depend on managerial status. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Grain yield estimate from early segregating populations is an interesting feature of today's wheat breeding programs, and F-1 populations are generally recommended as the most suitable population by researchers. In the present study, we evaluated the population vigor of diallel F-4 offsprings of six bread wheat genotypes (Sultan, Bezostaya, Suzen, Harmankaya, Altay and Gerek) under irrigated (IR) and rain-fed conditions (RF). The experiment as two sets under IR and RF were established in the field of Anatolian Agricultural Research Institute, Eskisehir. The mean of grain yield (5468 kg ha(-1)) of F-4 populations in RF and IR had been lower than the mean of genotypes (5654 kg ha(-1)). The mean of grain yield of genotypes (7062 kg ha(-1)) under IR was higher than F-4 populations (6703 kg ha(-1)), while genotypes and F-4 populations were nearly similar under RF (4246 kg ha(-1) and 4234 kg ha(-1), respectively). The mid-variety population vigor for grain yield varied from -6.70% (Hrm/Grk) to 8.77% (Bez/Grk) under RF, and from -22.58% (Sltn/Alty) to 10.87% (Bez/Suzen) under IR. There was not positive significance population vigor in F(4)s. According to results under RF and IR, F-4 populations are observed as the most suitable populations for realistically estimation of grain yield performance of populations.

Some Explicit Polaroids is one of the most sensational plays reflects consumerist culture of 2000s twentysometings is described as controversial. Some Explicit Polaroids is a political criticism on the confrontation of the two generations and reflects consumerist tenets, which hold values of globalisation. This study tries to prove that Ravenhill's work is totally reflection of the logic of consumerism and post-consumerism in terms of contemporary British society that is subjected to contemporary plays mostly. This study particularly unveils the perception of consumerist culture that is embodied within the scope of Ravenhill's perspective on British society; therefore, it aims to shed some light the globalised and cruelly capitalised world. The beginning of this study discusses the ongoing understanding of theatre and its representative perspectives after nasty nineties, as well as the social, economic, and political processes that led to the arrival of In-Yer-Face Theatre. Additionally, Mark Ravenhill's theatre aesthetic and his contributions towards contemporary British Theatre are briefly revealed. In this study, the evaluations written on consumerism and globalization are dealt with according to their resonances in the play. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This study analyzes the nonstationarity of per capita real GDP for 11 Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Countries over the period 1970 to 2012 using two recently developed methods. SURADF and CADF panel unit root tests allowing for cross sectional dependence are used to determine whether output fluctuations are permanent or transitory. Contrary to the traditional view of business cycle, we find econometric evidence supporting the idea that the output fluctuations in MENA region are mostly permanent. These results also emphasize that the effectiveness of stabilization policies aimed at real output by the government should be reviewed to achieve longlasting results.

Öztürk, Serkan
Many practical problems encountered in quantitative oriented disciplines entail finding the best approximate solution to an over determined system of linear equations. In this study, it is investigated the usage of different regression methods as a theoretical, practical and correct estimation tool in order to obtain the best empirical relationship between surface wave magnitude and rupture length for Turkey earthquakes. For this purpose, a detailed comparison is made among four different regression norms: (1) Least Squares, (2) Least Sum of Absolute Deviations, (3) Total Least Squares or Orthogonal and, (4) Robust Regressions. In order to assess the quality of the fit in a linear regression and to select the best empirical relationship for data sets, the correlation coefficient as a quite simple and very practicable tool is used. A list of all earthquakes where the surface wave magnitude (Ms) and surface rupture length (L) are available is compiled. In order to estimate the empirical relationships between these parameters for Turkey earthquakes, loglinear fit is used and following equations are derived from different norms: Ms = 1.02* LogL + 5.18, for L-2 Norm regression (R-2=0.71), Ms = 1.15* LogL + 4.98, for L-1 Norm regression (R-2=0.92), Ms = 1.04* LogL + 5.15, for Robust regression (R-2=0.75), Ms = 1.25* LogL + 4.86, for Orthogonal regression (R-2=0.68), Consequently, the empirical equation given by the Least Sum of Absolute Deviations regression as Ms = 1.15* LogL + 4.98 with a strong correlation coefficient (R-2=0.92) can be thought as more suitable and more reliable for Turkey earthquakes. Also, local differences in rupture length for a given magnitude can be interpreted in terms of local variation in geologic and seismic efficiencies. Furthermore, this result suggests that seismic efficiency in a region is dependent on rupture length or magnitude.

Background - Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of platelet activation. The pathophysiology of the primary and secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP) have not been completely established. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between MPV and RP. Materials and Methods - Our study was a prospective randomized study carried out from January 2011 to March 2012. The study group consisted of 39 patients: 27 (70%) patients having primary, 12 (30%) patients having secondary RP. An age-, gender-, and body mass index-matched control group consisted of 40 healthy participants. We compared the MPV in patients with RP and control participants statistically. Results - MPV of RP group was 8.79 +/- 1.37 femtoliter (fL) while MPV of control group was 8.39 +/- 1.36 fL. Comparison of MPV of RP group and control group showed no difference (p = 0.274). The mean of MPV was significantly higher among patients with secondary RP (9.76 +/- 1.68 fl) when compared with patients with primary RP (8.37 +/- 0.96 fl) (p = 0.018). Conclusion - The results of our study suggest that MPV may be used as a marker in secondary RP.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and associated with adverse outcomes and increased risk for thromboembolic events. Warfarin is still the most extensively prescribed oral anticoagulant in AF to prevent ischemic complications. We aimed to determine the differences at platelet indices with warfarin usage layered by International Normalized Ratio (INR). A total of 250 patients with permanent non-valvular AF (mean age 70.2 +/- 9.1; 153 female) were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 125 patients whose INR is between 2.0 and 3.0 (called as effective'') and Group 2 included 125 patients whose INR is <2.0 (called as ineffective''). Also 123 age- and sex-matched individuals in sinus rhythm enrolled as control group (Group 3). After physical and echocardiographic examination, complete blood counts and INR were studied. There was no statistically significant difference in age, sex, co-morbidities and medications, also hemoglobin, white blood cell and platelet counts among the groups. The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores were similar between Groups 1 and 2. The mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and plateletcrit (PCT) were significantly higher in Group 2 than Groups 1 and 3 and similar between Groups 1 and 3. MPV was positively correlated with PDW and PCT and also inversely correlated with INR value and platelet count. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, MPV, PDW and PCT were independent predictors of ineffectiveness of INR. The results of this study showed that MPV, PDW and PCT are increased in patients with non-valvular AF without effective warfarin treatment. Warfarin usage adjusted by INR is associated with lower values of these platelet indices, even lower as the values of subjects in sinus rhythm. MPV, PDW and PCT are independent predictors of INR ineffectiveness and seem to be useful parameters for monitoring the effectiveness of warfarin treatment.

Gücer, Mehmet Ali; Aslan, Zafer
The Yoncayolu Metamorphic Rocks (YMR), exposed in the Sakarya zone (Erzincan, NE Turkey), consists mainly of greenschist rocks which are chlorite schists, muscovite-chlorite schists, metabasic rocks and lesser extent of pyhllites and calc-schists. All YMR are fine-grained, weakly foliated and often cut by quartz veins. The common mineral assemblage is chlorite+albite+epidote+quartz+/-clinozoisite+/-actinolite+/-opaques. Geochemically, protoliths of the YMR resemble calc-alkaline volcanic arc rocks. The YMR have high contents of large ion lithophile elements (LILEs) and low contents of high field strength elements (HFSEs) similar to mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB). (La/Lu)(CN) values are between 0.26 and 6.16. The REE patterns show slight or no Eu anomalies (Eu-CN/Eu* of 0.48 to 1.13), suggesting minor plagioglase fractionation. 40Ar-39Ar dating on plagioclases from the metabasic samples of the YMR gave ages of 100.8+/-3.4 Ma (Albian) and 94.1+/-3.3 Ma (Cenomanian), suggesting that metamorphism was related to the closure of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean. Metamorphism took place during subduction of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean between similar to 90-70 Ma. Chlorite geothermometry yielded a temperature of 320-350 degrees C and a pressure around 4 kbar. All these findings lend support for greenschist facies metamorphic conditions during the formation of the YMR.

Nas, Salim Serkan; Nas, Evin
Leachate quality varies depending on many factors such as the depth and the content of solid waste, seasonal variations in solid waste, and the duration of storage of solid waste; design and operation of storage space; geological and hydrogeological characteristics of storage area; and environmental interaction of leachate, which affect each other. One of the two major sources of leachate is the moisture content of the waste stored and the other is the mass of water entering the storage area from outside. A major part of the mass of water entering the storage area from outside is the infiltration of rain water through the storage area. The purpose of this study is to assess the seasonal variation in leachate of Gumushane (Central) open dump area using the 'water balance method' for the determination of the factors affecting the seasonal variation in leachate of landfill, which particularly holds a higher risk of contaminating the environment. In addition, some of the measures to be taken in solid waste storage areas in order to minimize the mass of leachate are presented.
