Yarı Kurak İklim Koşullarında Hibrid Ayçiçeği Çeşitlerinin Performanslarının Karşılaştırılması

The study was taken place in semi-arid climate and rainfed conditions to compare the yield and yield performance of sixteen hybrid sunflower cultivars (Bosfora, Fx 9008, Fx 9009, Fx 9114, Hornet, Lg 5550, Lg 5580, Maximus, Oliva, Reyna, Sanay, Sanbro, Sirena, Tarsan, Transol and Tunca). The experiment was established with randomized complete block design with three replications at experimental field of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University in 2012-2013. During the growing period of sunflower, 130 mm of precipitation recorded in 2012, and this precipitation was normal compared to long-term anomaly, but the 40 mm precipitation in 2013 was approximately 70% lower than the long-term. The yield decreases varied from 13% to 50% comparing the years and these changes were attributed to the genetic abilities of the cultivars and limited precipitation in 2013. The decrease in the amount of precipitation between research years caused a significant decrease in the plant height (16.57%), head diameter (18.90%), 1000 seed weight (20.00%), oil yield (29.70%) and seed yield (30.59%) of cultivars. As a result, the highest seed (3.03 t/ha) and oil yield (1.40 t/ha) was obtained from Tarsan cultivar in 2012, while in 2013, under drought stress, the highest seed yield was 1.76 t/ha (Hornet) and the highest crude oil yield with 0.85 t/ha was obtained from Transol cultivar.

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus by medical students: Assessment of antibiotic susceptibility and risk factors

Objective: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the leading vector for both hospital-sourced and population-sourced infections globally and nasal carriage may be responsible for these serious infections. The aim of this study was to assess the nasal S. aureus carriage rates, antibiotic susceptibility and risk factors among preclinical period medical students.Method: A total of 183 preclinical period students from Ahi Evran University Faculty of Medicine voluntarily participated in our study. They were requested to complete a survey form containing questions about demographic information, hygiene habits and medical history and possible risk factors were recorded. S. aureus isolates proliferating from nasal swab culture samples were studied with antibiotic susceptibility tests.Results: Of the total of 183 students, 39 (21.4%) had S. aureus proliferation identified from nasal swab samples. None of these isolates were methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Antibiotic susceptibility tests found highest resistance against penicillin (85%). There were negative correlations between nasal spray use and allergy history with nasal S. aureus carriage.Conclusions: Medical students may each be mobile sources of bacteria in hospitals, especially as MRSA carriers. According to our results, it is necessary to note the importance of training and standard infection control precautions to prevent the increase in MRSA carriage rates in the clinical period as none of our preclinical period students carried MRSA. Advanced studies are important to monitor carriage rates.

Evaluation of Nutritional Habits of University Students with Fuzzy Logic System

For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to the students of the Food Processing Department of Ahi Evran University Kaman Vocational School and the results of the questionnaire were determined by using fuzzy logic system. In this study, Fuzzy Logic System has been established by using Fuzzy toolbox of Matlab program and as a result, it has been observed that evaluation of feeding style of fuzzy logic systems gives consistent results. As an alternative to statistically calculated methods, new approaches can be developed by using fuzzy logic in nutritional assessment and food engineering.

Pro-abortion attitude with context of traditional and professional identity dilemma.

Nurses are in a key position for reproduction health service delivery. Therefore, it is thought that it would be important to inspect opinions of student nurses, who will be health employees in the future, about self-induced abortion to develop women health and public health. The goal of this study is to inspect opinions of nursing students with different sociocultural specialties, about self-induced abortions. It is qualitative type and planned with ethnographic research pattern. The study was conducted with 20 last-term students of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, who were chosen by maximum diversity sampling technique. Interviews were made with semi-structured interview form and voice records during the study; data were analyzed with content analyzing method. Permission from the organization, university ethics committee, and personal approvals were taken from participants to conduct the research. Based on the analysis, two major themes on self-induced abortion in Turkish nursing students were found: dilemma of traditional perspective and professional identity and occupational awareness. It is seen that there is a dilemma between traditional point of view and professional identities about self-induced abortion for nursing students, but they had occupational awareness. It should be recommended to give information about national and international licit legislations for reproductive health, self-induced abortion, and setting up ethical discussion environments for nursing students.

Öğretmen Adaylarında Temel Yaşam Desteği Kısa Süreli Eğitim Etkinliğinin Değerlendirilmesi

Objective: Basic life support (BLS) is a very important application that any rescuer from the public can easily implement with short training, and thereby, that can save the lives of thousands of sudden cardiac arrest cases. In this study, the aim was to the determine information level of current basic life support of candidate teachers and to evaluate the educational activities that are carried out in order to improve these levels. Methods: A total of 213 volunteer students from Ahi Evran University Faculty of Education was included in the study. With 20 multiple-choice test questions, basic life support knowledge levels of the candidate teachers were determined and upon this evaluation, 2 hours of face-to-face applied training was offered. In order to evaluate the persistence of the knowledge level of these students, the same test has been re-applied one month and six months later. Results: According to the result of the pre-test, the knowledge levels of the student groups were low. A month later, their level of knowledge increased from 41.65% to 79% and Six months later, there was a 2.32% decrease in their level of knowledge. Conclusion: In this study, it has been shown that the two-hour basic life support training given to the candidate teachers is beneficial and increases their courage in this regard. Therefore, we believe that regular basic life support training provided to candidate teachers may prove effective in the increase of the intervention rates to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases.

Ortopedi Kliniğinde Cerrahi Operasyon Sonrası Yara Kültür Sonuçlarının Değerlendirilmesi: Üç Yıllık Analiz

Objective: Wound infections constitute the most prevalent postoperative complication encountered by orthopedists. Lack of timely and correct treatment may lead to chronic wound infections. Therefore, this study aims to guide empirical treatment, investigate the isolated bacteria and associated antibiotic resistance states in wound cultures obtained after orthopedic surgery.Methods: In the three-year period between January 2016 and end of December 2018, 3100 patients were operated in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic of the Kirsehir Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital. Wound cultures obtained from patients operated due to wound infections were retrospectively evaluated. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed in accordance with EUCAST guidelines using disc diffusion methods and the VITEK 2 Compact® (Biomerieux, France) automated system.Results: A total of 284 wound culture specimens were evaluated, and 85 (22.9%) of these demonstrated significant bacterial growth. Monomicrobial growth was detected in 92% and polymicrobial growth was found in 8% of the cultures. The most commonly isolated microorganism was Escherichia coli (22.3%), followed by coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) (20%), Staphylococcus aureus (15.3%), Acinetobacter baumannii (9.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.4%) and Streptococcus spp. (5.8%) respectively. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) positivity was determined as 100% and 25% for E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates, respectively. Carbapenems were found to be the most effective antibiotics to Enterobacteriales family. Gram positive bacteria were not resistant against vancomycin and teicoplanin, but 7.6% of S. aureus strains and 57.1% of CoNS were methicillin-resistant.Conclusion: Identification and monitoring of causative microorganisms in postoperative wound infections and antibiotic resistance rates at every hospital is quite important. Taking these findings into consideration will result in better prevention of infections, increased treatment success, and decreased antibiotic resistance rates.

Ispitivanje faktora koji utiču na učestalost poseta zbog povreda sa prisustvom stranog tela u rožnjači

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to show whether or not there is a relationship between number of visits in shipyard workers who visit clinics with complaints of foreign bodies in their cornea and parameters of working hours, duration of working in years, time of working without a break and age. Methods: All patients who visited the Emergency Service of the Ahi Evran University Research and Training Hospital between 1 March 2018 and 31 March 2019 with complaints of corneal foreign bodies were examined based on their number of visits in the last one year, daily hours of work, duration of working in years, time of working without a break and age. While corneal foreign body traumas for up to 3 times in the last one year were included in one group, those that were experienced for 4 times or more frequently were included in the other group. Results: 140 male patients were included in the study. While 67 of the participants were included in the group of patients with corneal foreign body traumas for up to 3 times in the past year, 73 were included in the group of patients with corneal foreign body traumas for 4 times or more frequently in the past year. There was a statistically significant relationship between experiencing corneal foreign body traumas for 4 times or more frequently per year and more daily working hours, longer times of working without a break, short working period and younger age (p-value: < 0.001). Conclusion: Corneal foreign bodies are eye injuries that may lead to loss of sight or reduced sight and are associated with loss of labor and increased treatment costs. In our study, among the patients who came up with complaints of corneal foreign body traumas for 4 times or more per year, the risk factors was observed to consist of long daily working hours, long time of working without a break, shortness of the time of starting work and early age.

Relationship between Paraoxonase-1 and Arylesterase Enzyme Activities and SYNTAX I and II Scores in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background: Although serum paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and arylesterase (ARE) activities are linked to the presence of stable coronary arterial disease, their correlation with SYNTAX Score I (SS1) and SYNTAX Score II (SS2) has not been known well. Our aim was to determine the association between PON-1 and ARE activities, together with the genetic polymorphism of PON-1, and both SS1 and SS2 in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Consecutive patients with acute STEMI (n=102: 78 male, 24 female; mean age=61.14±12.25 y) admitted to the Emergency Department of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Hospital between August 2018 and December 2018 were enrolled. PON-1 and ARE activities were determined on hospital admission. The SS1 and SS2 scores were calculated by using the angiographic and clinical data. Subsequently, the relationships between the activities of the enzymes, together with the genetic polymorphism of PON-1, and both SS1 and SS2 were interrogated. Results: The mean SS1 and the mean SS2 were 19.8±9.7 and 32.3±11.5, respectively. The phenotype distributions of PON-1 were Q192Q (n=60), R192Q (n=35), and R192R (n=7). The respective PON-1 (U/L) and ARE (kU/L) activities were 514.85±29.34 and 216.82±36.72 in the low SS1 category; 527.60±56.31 and 203.95±55.97 in the intermediate SS1 category; and, 690.10±11.07 and 238.48±45.65 in the high SS1 category.PON-1 and ARE activities did not correlate with the SS1 categories, and varying SS2 scores. The distribution of the Q192R polymorphism was homogenous among the different SS1 and SS2 scores. The localization of acute STEMI also did not associate with the activities of either enzyme. Conclusion: Admission serum PON-1 and ARE activities, together with the PON-1 Q192R genetic polymorphism, showed association neither with SS1 and SS2 nor with the localization of infarction in our acute STEMI patients.

Special Education Teachers’ Self-efficacy Beliefs Toward Science Course

The aim of this study is to determine the self-efficacy belief levels of special education teachers toward science. In the research, an explanatory mixed method in which quantitative and qualitative research methods are involved together used. In the research, the survey study and case study were used. In order to determine the level of self-efficacy beliefs of special education teachers about the science, 'Self-Efficacy Beliefs toward Science Scale' developed and adapted in 1990 by Riggs and Enochs was used. This scale was translated to Turkish by Bikmaz (2004). A total of 427 pre-service pre-school teachers and pre-service primary school teachers in Kirsehir Ahi Evran University in Turkey were selected for the pilot study. The reliability coefficient of the study was .78. The main data of the study were collected through a survey by 115 special education teachers in Kirsehir in Turkey during the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four special education teachers selected from main study. When the results of the study are examined, it is seen that the teachers' level of self-efficacy beliefs towards the science course is at a neutral level. According to the results of qualitative data analysis, teachers stated that they feel sufficient theirselves when they are prepared for the course and that they affect the competence level of students' performances. In addition, special education teachers stated that they experienced no problems in certain subjects which are easy in science lessons while they experienced problems in difficult subjects. Special education teachers believe that if the teacher gives a lesson in accordance with students' level, he / she can benefit to student and if the teacher likes the science course, the success of the student will increase. When examined in terms of demographic variables, only a significant difference occurred in favor of the classroom teacher in terms of the department.

The effects of weed density and different weed control applications on yield and yield components of chickpea cultivars

This study was conducted to determine the effects of weed density and different weed control treatments on chickpea yield and yield components. The experiment was carried out in split plot design with 3 replications in experimental fields of Kirsehir Ahi Evran University during 2016 and 2017 crop seasons. Total nine treatments (no weed control, permanent weed control, one-time hoeing, two-time hoeing, three-time hoeing, herbicide application after emergence, one-time hoeing with herbicide application, two-time hoeing with herbicide application and three-time hoeing with herbicide application) were compared to know the most effective weed control method. Vaccaria pyramidata Medik., Sinapis arvensis L., Acroptilon repens L. weed species were found to be the most intense in the experimental area. All weed control applications had significant effect on chickpea yield and yield components compared to weedy plots. Three-time hoeing with herbicide application increased the yield by 361.55-478.50% compared to weedy plots. Likewise, three-time hoeing application even increased the yield by 348.50-357.09% compared to weedy plots. The results revealed that three-time hoeing with herbicide and three-time hoeing applications stood out in weed management to obtain a good yield in chickpea cultivation at Kirsehir province.
