    Son ergenlik döneminde dissosiyatif bulgular ile ruminasyon arasındaki ilişkide duyguları ifade etmenin rolü
    (Kıbrıs Ruh Sağlığı Enstitüsü, 2023-03-27) Özgönül, Afranur; Aktan, Zekeriya Deniz; Ülkümen, İpek
    Bu araştırmanın temel amacı son ergenlik dönemindeki bireylerin dissosiyatif bulguları ile ruminasyon düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkide duyguları ifade etmenin aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmaya 18-24 yasları arasında olan 502 kişi katılmıştır. Veriler, Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Dissosiyasyon Ölçeği (DIS-Q), Ruminatif Düşünce Biçimi Ölçeği (RDBÖ) ve Duyguları İfade Etme Ölçeği (DİEÖ) aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre son ergenlik dönemindeki bireylerin ruminasyon düzeyleri arttıkça duyguları ifade etme düzeylerinin azaldığı ve dissosiyasyon düzeylerinin arttığı; duyguları ifade etme düzeyleri azaldıkça dissosiyasyon düzeylerinin arttığı görülmüştür. Son ergenlik dönemindeki bireylerin dissosiyatif bulguları ile ruminasyon düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkide duyguları ifade etmenin kısmi aracı etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmamızın söz konusu değişkenlerin geçmiş araştırmalarda sınırlı sayıda incelenmesi açısından literatüre katkı sağladığı düşünülmektedir.

    Evaluation of post-swallow residue with visual analysis of swallowing efficiency and safety in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2023-12) Doruk, Can; Çaytemel, Berkay; Şahin, Erdi; Kara, Hakan; Samancı, Bedia; Abay, Sevinç Nisa; Bilgiç, Başar; Hanağası, Haşmet; Başaran, Bora; Enver, Necati; Rameau, Anais
    Objectives: Dysphagia is common in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) and is associated with impairments in both swallowing safety and swallowing efficiency. The goals of this study were to define post-swallow residue patterns in people with IPD and describe pathophysiological endoscopic findings affecting residue accumulation. Methods: This was a prospective single-blinded cross-sectional cohort study of patients with the diagnosis of IPD recruited from a Movement Disorder Clinic. Clinical variables included patient age, cognitive function, and measures of disease severity, and laryngoscopic examinations with a flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) were completed for each patient. Visual Analysis of Swallowing Efficiency and Safety (VASES) was used to analyze FEES. Post-swallow residue outcomes and non-residue endoscopic outcomes including the Bowing index, Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS) score, premature leakage, and build-up phenomenon were evaluated. Multiple regression models were used to evaluate factors affecting the residue at different anatomic levels. Results: Overall 53 patients completed the study. The multiple regression analyses showed a relation between (1) the presence of residue at the level of oropharynx and epiglottis with premature leakage, (2) the presence of residue at the level of the laryngeal vestibule and vocal folds with build-up phenomenon, and (3) the presence of residue at the level of the hypopharynx, laryngeal vestibule, and subglottis with airway invasion. Conclusion: Residue pattern during FEES is associated with specific swallow dysfunctions in IPD. Using residue localization and quantification may be a helpful tool in assessing the impact of targeted swallowing interventions in patients with IPD and dysphagia.

    Mindfulness in the relationship between perceived stress and quality of life in pediatric asthma
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2023-03-27) Ayhan, Ayşe Sena; Aktan, Zekeriya Deniz; Ülker Tamay, Zeynep
    Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the possible mediatör effect of mindfulness in the relationship between perceived stress and quality of life in pediatric asthma. Material and Method: The sample of this study consisted of 100 asthmatic children aged between 9-12 years who applied to the outpatient clinic of Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Division of Pediatric Allergy. Sociodemographic information forms, Perceived Stress Scale in Children (8-11 years), Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), and Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) were used as data collection tools. Linear hierarchical regression analysis was used during the process of analyzing data. Results: It has been identified that mindfulness has a partial mediatör effect on the relationship between perceived stress and quality of life (p = 0.000). The presence of a partial mediator effect of mindfulness has been determined in the relationship between perceived stress and symptoms which is the subscale of quality of life (p = 0.000). Finally, it has been demonstrated that mindfulness has a partial mediator effect on the relationship between perceived stress and emotional function which is another subscale of quality of life (p = 0.000). The mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between perceived stress and activity limitations could not be analyzed due to the lack of a significant correlation between activity limitations which is the subscale of quality of life and mindfulness (p=0.178). Conclusion: It can be helpful to add psychotherapy interventions involving mindfulness practices to asthma treatment for better control of the disease in children.

    Causal links between patents and economic growth: empirical evidence from OECD countries
    (Universidade Nove de Julho-UNINOVE, 2024-08) Özkan Yıldız, Öznur; Görkey, Selda
    Objective of the Study: This paper empirically investigates the reciprocal relationship and causality between patents and economic growth. Methodology/Approach: Utilizing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) and panel VAR-Granger Causality frameworks, the study concentrates on Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) economies where a high fraction of global innovative activities take place. Originality/Relevance: The relationship and causality between patents and economic growth are investigated and evaluated by distinguishing the former variable into patent applications and grants. Main Results: The findings from the GMM panel VAR approach indicate that patent applications and grants significantly affect economic growth, whereas economic activities do not influence patent-related variables. The estimations from the panel VAR-Granger approach confirm these findings by presenting a unidirectional causality from patent applications and grants to economic growth. The impulse-response functions (IRFs) exhibit parallel findings, and further checks validate the stability of the findings obtained. The outcomes of this study point out two crucial implications. First, the impacts of patent applications and grants affect economic growth similarly while the impact of patent grants lasts longer. Second, while patents cause higher economic activity, the latter does not induce innovative activity through patents in the OECD. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: It would be useful to conduct separate analyses for a selected product, sector, or country by including research and development (R&D) expenditures for different periods, country groups, and analysis methods. Social/Management Contributions: Countries should prioritize the establishment of an effective patent management system that will increase the pace of innovation and the implementation of incentive policies for the development of high-value-added technology products.

    Healthy lifestyle behaviors of university students: the role of sense of coherence and family health climate
    (Dokuz Eylul University, 2025-01-31) Cerrahoğlu, Ece; Ünver, Buket; Ülkümen, İpek
    Purpose: This study aims to examine the predictive role of individual sense of coherence, family sense of coherence and family health climate variables on university students' healthy lifestyle behaviors. Material and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 371 university students aged 18-25. Sociodemographic Information Form, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale, Sense of Coherence Scale, Family Sense of Coherence Scale, Family Health Climate Scale were applied to the participants in order to collect the research data. Correlation analysis, independent two-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA test and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: According to the results of correlation analysis, a positive relationship was found between healthy lifestyle behaviors and individual sense of coherence, family sense of coherence and family health climate (p<.05). As a result of the multiple linear hierarchical regression analysis, after controlling for the sex variable, individual sense of coherence and family health climate variables significantly predicted healthy lifestyle behaviors (p<.05), while family sense of coherence had no significant predictive role on healthy lifestyle behaviors (p>.05). Conclusion: The findings show that individual sense of coherence, family sense of coherence and family health climate variables are essential on university students' healthy lifestyle behaviors. The sense of coherence provides significant protection in adopting health behaviors that will determine future health and well-being. Similarly, increasing healthy living practices within the family is of great importance for young people to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors.

    Turkish validity and reliability study of the childhood illness attitude scale
    (Routledge, 2025-03) Aktan, Zekeriya Deniz; İnci İzmir, Sevim Berrin; Ünlü, Beyza; Yılmaz Kahraman, İpek Su
    Severe forms of health anxiety cause serious dysfunction in people’s lives. Childhood Illness Attitude Scales (CIAS) is an assessment tool used to evaluate childhood health anxiety yet has not been validated for use in Turkey. The study aimed to examine the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Turkish version of the CIAS (CIAS-TR). The scale was administered to 306 children aged between 8 and 15 years. In addition to the CIAS-TR, participants were asked to complete the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). To measure test-retest reliability, CIAS-TR was completed by participants 15 days later. Results demonstrated good psychometric properties with high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. A positive correlation with SCARED and a negative correlation with PedsQL. Results from Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggested that a four-factor model best fit the data. The findings of the study indicate that the Turkish adaptation of the CIAS is an appropriate tool for assessing health anxiety in children.

    “Can we use a biomarker detection algorithm to measure the effectiveness of 14-channel neurofeedback in dyslexia?”
    (Routledge, 2025-10-01) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Raja Abou
    Dyslexia, one of children’s most common neurological diversities, primarily manifests as a reduced reading ability. Genetic factors contribute to dyslexia, with contemporary theories attributing it to a delay in left hemispheric lateralization that reduces effective reading and writing skills. To assist dyslexic children, smartphone application, Auto Train Brain, has been developed to enhance reading comprehension and speed. Previously, the efficacy of the mobile application’s training program was assessed using psychometric tests; however, our study employed a biomarker detection software to evaluate the neurofeedback’s impact. Machine learning (ML) techniques have recently gained traction in differentiating between dyslexia and typically developing children (TDC). The dataset of this study consists of 100 sessions of 2-minute resting-state eyes-open 14-channel Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) data from 100 children with dyslexia and 100 TDC. Therefore, the dyslexia biomarker detection software assessed the efficacy of the 14-channel neurofeedback administered via Auto Train Brain. Results showed significant improvement in electrophysiological normalization, increasing from 30% in the first 20 sessions to 61% by the end of the training. A two-proportion Z-test confirmed this improvement was statistically significant (Z = −3.96, p = 0.00007), particularly between the 1–20 and 1–60 session intervals (Z = −2.66, p = 0.0079).
