Mizrak, Sefa; Yildiz, Eyyüp
The effects of disasters on the community increase with increasing population and urbanization, the destruction of the environment, and climate change. This situation increases the need for disaster education at every stage of integrated disaster management. Effectively planned disaster education for preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery periods will ensure that the community is more resilient to disasters. The aim of this study is to investigate how the use and prevalence of new developing technologies can be used more effectively to increase the disaster education capacity of the community. Within the scope of the study, the use of technologies such as virtual reality, social media, simulations, and mobile games in disaster education will be explained. The public administration policies that need to be implemented to increase the use of these tools will be explained. In particular, suggestions will be presented to increase the sustainability and safety of the community through the use of innovative technology in disaster education. It is expected that this study will give ideas to scientists and decision-makers about the use and importance of technology in disaster education.

Demirag, Hatice; Hintistan, Sevilay
The urinary system plays an important role in establishing and maintaining homeostasis of the body and has functions such as excretion of metabolic wastes and maintenance of fluidelectrolyte balance. Poor functioning of this system also affects other systems of the body. In diseases affecting the urinary system, the patient may encounter many problems. It is important and necessary that nurses who are in direct and constant contact with patients have sufficient knowledge of history taking, methods of physical examination and diagnostic tests.

Doğan, Melike Demir
Mucositis is defined as inflammatory and/or ulcerative lesions of the oral and/or gastrointestinal system. It is one of the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy used in cancer treatment. The incidence rate of mucositis is 15-40% in standard-dose chemotherapy, 76-100% in high-dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant, and 100% in radiation therapy applied for head-neck. While oral mucositis can cause pain as well as sensitivity in mouth and throat, it can also severely affect oral functions such as swallowing, taste, and speaking. Severe mucositis leads to increase the pain in the oral mucosa. Many pharmacological and non-pharmacological options are available to treat mucositis. The literature reveals studies looking at pharmacological approaches including oral care involving 0.9% NaCl and NaHCO3, benzydamine hydrochloride, saline mouthwashes, calcium phosphate mouthwashes, magic mouthwash, and mouthwashes containing G-CSF and GM-CSF. Likewise, studies looking at non-pharmacological approaches focus on cryotherapy, low energy laser treatment, hypnosis, herbal approaches, honey, and black mulberry molasses.

Maden, Nafiz
Geothermal energy, which is a renewable energy source, can be used to heat buildings or generate electricity and does not contribute to air pollution when used properly, and it is heat continuously produced inside the earth that generates geological phenomena on a planetary scale. Central Anatolia is a triangular region which is limited by North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) to the north, East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) to the east, Dead sea FZ and Cyprus FZ to the south. The tectonic structure of the Cappadocia region is composed of NW trending Salt Lake Fault Zone extending approximately 220 km in length, Salanda fault zone extending 140 km, and NE trending Central Anatolian Fault zone more than 700 km in length. There are 82 geothermal regions having 171 sources with low and high temperatures due to the young volcanism and tectonic activities in this region. These geothermal regions caused by fault and fracture zones extending to the mantle parallel to the tectonic zones of the region and are situated on the areas having low Curie, high heat flow values. The Curie point depth, heat flow and geothermal gradient values determined from geophysical data of the region are correlated with tectonics and geothermal potential of the region. While the minimum crustal thickness is 38 km, the maximum crustal thickness is 41 km in Mt. Hasan and Mt. Erciyes. The Curie point depth value is computed as 13.7 km determined from magnetic anomaly data of the region. The geothermal gradient and heat flow values are estimated to be 42.3 °Ckm-1, 88.8 mWm-2, respectively. Geothermal systems and reservoir temperature of geothermal sources should be understood clearly to provide sustainability of the project with respect to the economical conditions. Various geothermometers methods have been used to determine the reservoir temperature in order to estimate the field of usage of the thermal water before the drilling stage because of the high price of the borehole. Silica geothermometers method applied to the SiO2 content of the sources gives the best information about the reservoir temperature. The maximum temperatures and depth to reservoir of the geothermal sources located in the Kayseri region are estimated as 131.8 °C, 1.14 km, respectively, in Kayseri region. It is concluded from these values that the Cappadocia region has very high geothermal potential caused by tectonic activities after the Late Triassic and partial melting of the lower crust.
