Factors Affecting the Purchase Intention of Over the Counter Products in the Self Care Actions of Consumers
(Emerald Publishing, 2023) Salman, Unver, S.; Sezgin, S.; Uray, N.
Purpose: Within the framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study aims to investigate which factors affect consumers’ purchase intention with regard to over-the-counters (OTCs), focusing on personal factors, including health consciousness and risk aversion, as well as rational factors, consisting of the level of knowledge, price consciousness and involvement in the purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach: Due to the necessity of finding the most crucial industry-specific indicators, it was decided to carry out two-stage research based on qualitative preliminary research and the main study. The findings obtained from the qualitative studies were integrated with insights gleaned from the literature to finalize the study’s conceptual model. The main study was based on a descriptive research design, and data were collected through an online survey. Structural equation modeling was the main technique used to test the model. Findings: Health consciousness, level of knowledge and involvement in consumer purchase intentions affect either attitude or perceived behavioral control. Moreover, attitudes toward OTCs and perceived behavioral control were significant predictors of purchase intentions for OTC drugs. At the same time, subjective norms did not have a significant effect. Practical implications: Knowing what influences consumer purchase intentions contributes to developing more effective marketing strategies and actions. Originality/value: This study took an integrative approach to understanding the effect of personal and rational factors within the TPB framework for a changing tendency in consumer behavior of specific product categories. © 2023, Emerald Publishing Limited.
Öz Yeterlilik ve Hemodiyaliz Tedavisi: Nitel ve Nicel Bir Yaklaşım
(Türkiye Sinir ve Ruh Sağlığı Derneği, 2013) Krespi-Boothby, Margörit Rita; Salmon, Peter
Giriş: Öz yeterliliğin ölçülmesine yönelik teori temelli yaklaşım, hemodiyaliz hastalarının diyet ve sıvı tüketimi kısıtlamaları konusunda yaşadıkları zorlukları açıklamak konusunda yetersiz kalmaktadır. Amaçlar: Bu kısıtlamalar nedeniyle yaşanan zorlukların çeşitliliğinin tespit edilebilmesi, klinisyenlerin hasta görüşmelerinde hastaları yönlendirebilmeleri için bu zorlukların sayısallaştırılması için nitel ve nicel araştırmaların yönlendirebilmeleri ‘açısından’ bir araya getirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öz yeterlilik kavramı, diyet ve sıvı tüketimi konusundaki zorluklar üzerine temellendirilmiş ve elde edilen bulgular, karşılaştıkları her zorluğun üstesinden gelebilme kapasiteleri hakkındaki hasta algılarının sayısallaştırılmasını sağlayacak bir anket formunun hazırlanması amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Yöntem: Nitel çalışmanın örneklemi 16 hemodiyaliz hastasından oluşurken, nicel çalışma 156 hemodiyaliz hastasını içermiştir. Bulgular: Nitel bulgular, hastaların diyet ve sıvı tüketimine yönelik kısıtlamalar nedeniyle bir dizi özgül zorluk yaşadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bunların arasında pratikte yaşanan kısıtlamalar, başkalarıyla bir araya gelmek, hemodiyalizi diyete uymamanın telafisi olarak görmek, diyet ve sıvı kısıtlamalarından sıkılmak, rahatsızlık, duygusal sıkıntı gibi duygusal zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Sıvı kısıtlamalarıyla ilgili karşılaşılan en yaygın zorluk hastanın yemek yerken sıvı tüketme hakkının kalmamış olmasıdır. Diyet kısıtlamalarıyla ilgili yaşanan en yaygın zorluk ise diyetten sıkılmak olarak bildirilmiştir. Sonuç: Bulgular, temellendirilmiş öz yeterliliğin bütüncül bir olgu olduğunu ancak geniş çapta özgül zorluklar barındırdığını önermektedir. Tespit edilen zorluklar, diyet ve sıvı kısıtlamalarına uyum sağlamayı geliştirmek için gerçekleştirilebilecek eğitimsel müdahalelere bir kanıt temeli sağlamıştır
Chelate Extraction of Transition Metal Ions by Ethylene Diamine Diacetic Acid With N-Substituted Octadecyl Groups
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2002) Bıçak, Niyazi; Şungur, Şana Kutun; Tan, Nükhet; Gazi, Mustafa
An organic-soluble chelating agent NN'-di-n-octadecyl ethylenediamine-NN'-diacetic acid (DOED) has been synthesized in two steps by (i) condensation of dibromoethane with 1-amino octadecane (octadecylamine) and (ii) subsequent reaction with sodium chloro acetate in alcohol-water mixture. The chelating agent in 2-ethylhexanol-cyclohexanol (1:1) solutions shows extremely high chelating ability for Ni(II) Co(II) Cu(II) Fe(111) Cr(III) and Cd(II) ions in neutral aqueous solutions. Extractions take place by the formation of (1:1) ligand-to-metal complexes and extraction coefficients are in the range 0.74-0.99. The ligand can be regenerated almost quantitatively by washing its complexes with 1M HCl and 0.2 M NaOH solutions successively. In each extraction step the organic solution exhibits a clear-cut phase separation and does not need salting out. The chelating agent can be regenerated and recycled more than 24 times without losing its extracting ability due to nonhydrolyzability of linkages in its structure. Experiments indicate that in high metal concentrations (more than 1 M) the solvent mixture itself is able to extract appreciable amounts of metal ions (33-53%). The solubility in organic solvents induced by long aliphatic chains seems to be general and the method presented offers possibility of large scale chelate extraction of metal ions of relatively low concentrations.
The “karakoncolos/kalikancaros” belief in Turkish and Greek sources [Türkçe ve yunanca kaynaklarda karakoncolos/kalikancaros inancı]
(Milli Folklor Dergisi, 2018) Şişmanoğlu Şimşek, Şehnaz
The belief in “karakoncolos/kalikancaros” is seen in a wide geography spreading from Central Anatolia and Black Sea region in Turkey to Balkan Peninsula including Greece Bulgaria and Serbia. Though karakoncolos is defined under different names in Turkish sources the period it is depicted and its features are almost similar. According to this the karakoncolos believed to have emerged on the coldest days of the year is depicted as a creature that is often hairy resembling animal haunting people and disturbing them. One of the first written sources in Turkish that included the belief in karakoncolos is Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatnâme. Today it is rarely a tradition in games such as “karakoncilo” in the Eastern Black Sea or a belief that has been almost forgotten or even unknown by the majority even though it continues to exist as a trivial image in Turkish literature and cinema. On the other hand this belief often referred to as kalikancaros in Greek was compiled by the folklorist Nikolaos Politis at an early date (1904). In this study first of all referring to the various beliefs concerning kalikancaros in the mentioned compilations of Politis the rewritings of them in the present Greek children’s literature by Filippos Mandilaras will be introduced. In today’s Greece it will be revealed that especially during the Christmas period it continues to exist as a popular figure of the musical performances in schools and in children’s books. When we have a look at the Turkish and Greek compilations of this belief in general which is spread over a wide geographical area we can see that the reviewed Turkish sources are mostly collected from the Eastern Black Sea region and rarely lived as an almost forgotten tradition. Today in Greece also due to the Velloudios’ paintings which still circulate today the mentioned belief continues to exist as a “national” and a popular element of the childrens’ literature. © 2019 Milli Folklor Dergisi.

C-Reactive Protein as a Pre-Procedural Predictor of Early and Late Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
(Springer New York, 2003) Aytekin, Saide; Çatakoğlu, Alp Burak; Aytekin, Vedat; Demiroğlu, Cemşid; Kocazeybek, Bekir Sami
To examine the predictive value of pre-procedural CRP level in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) regardless of having unstable or stable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Blood sampling for CRP measurement in patients undergoing PCI: 116 consecutive patients who underwent single vessel PCI were evaluated. Exclusion criteria were multilesion PCI, total occlusion, left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%, left bundle branch block and intercurrent inflammatory conditions known to be associated with an acute phase response. Major adverse coronary events (MACE) were defined as the occurrence of death, fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction, and need for coronary artery revascularization with either bypass grafting or repeat angioplasty. End-points were assessed at hospital discharge, 30 days, 3 and 6 months following the index procedure. 62 (53%) patients had CRP levels < 0.5 mg/dl, and 54 (47%) had > 0.5 mg/dl. There were no significant difference in the occurrence of MACE in early in-hospital and 30 days follow up periods, between the two groups (0 vs. 5.5%) (p = ns) whereas the incidence of MACE after 3 months of the procedure was significantly different between the two groups (1.6 vs. 11%) (p < 0.05) and also after 6 months (9.5 vs 24.5%) (p < 0.05). The negative predictive value of CRP measurement is 98.4%. High levels of pre-procedural CRP show association with the higher incidence of MACE after 3 months of the follow-up period and negative CRP tests seems to have high predictive value to compare the patients who will be free of MACE after successful PCI.

A Critical Perspective on Greenwashing Under the Roof of Corporate Environmentalism
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) Yılmaz, M.B.; Baybars, B.
Greenwashing occurs when companies give the wrong impression that their products are environmentally friendly, even though they are not. In this literature-based conceptual chapter, greenwashing practices carried out by transnational corporations are analysed from a critical perspective within the scope of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) concept. The emergence of greenwashing is based on environmental conditions like climate change and the rise of environmental movements targeting companies that harm the environment. The increase in environmental movements targeting environmental problems has increased the awareness of consumers towards the environment. Consumers were willing to pay extra for environmentally friendly products. Thus, companies that were aware of that demand, found it profitable to invest in CSR. What makes the greenwashing concept suitable for a comprehensive and critical discussion is that most companies allocate much larger budgets to CSR campaigns than they do for the good of the environment. In this chapter, the relationship between the CSR and greenwashing is conceptualised as a political-economic approach, addressing the dimensions of the relations between international organisations, transnational corporations, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the context of their lobbying activities for profit. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

The Perceptual Shock of Qatar Foreign Policy in 2017 Crisis: Systemic Factors, Regional Struggles Versus Domestic Variables
(Sage Publications Inc, 2020) Muslu-El Berni, Hazal
The Qatar crisis of June 2017 commenced without a warning and restored overlooked regional security dynamics to the state, the political elite, and the Qatari society at large. Qatar was cautious about the diversions of its foreign policy from regional security perceptions of its neighbors, even before the crisis, despite its failure to predict imminent political consequences, emerging from some states within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In the aftermath of the crisis, critical narratives of the neighboring states on Qatar's independent policies intimidated at the top leadership level and necessitates an analysis of the crisis, navigating through domestic settings facing systemic and regional pressures. This article aims to analyze the impact of the crisis on the perceptions of Qatari decision-makers, its society, and its tribes using the "perceptual shock" concept of neoclassical realism. It contends that despite the ongoing regional isolation of Qatar by the Saudi-led quartet, comprising Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt, Qatar's state apparatus and its relations with the society continued to strengthen due to the complex relationship between the domestic variables and systemic factors, and their relation to regional dynamics.
Design of Phase Shifters With Ladder Stubs Via Real Frequency Technique
(World Scientific, 2020) Şengül, Metin Y.
Generally at high frequencies, lumped-elements are not preferred because of their limited range of values. Therefore, in this work, a kind of phase shifter formed with ladder stubs is studied and a new approach to design phase shifter's low pass and high pass sections which are composed of series or shunt connected open-ended or short-ended stubs is proposed. In the approach, since the main focus is to form low pass and high pass two-port sections, switching process is not considered. First, the designer selects the section type and the total number of stubs in the sections; it is not necessary to fix the two-port section topologies and not necessary to derive the characteristic impedance and delay expressions for the stubs. In the example, 5-stub two-port sections of a 180∘ phase shifter are designed by means of the proposed approach.

Secluded Lives: Restricted Urban Practices of Migrant Domestic and Care Workers in Istanbul
(University of L'Aquila, Department of Civil Construction, Building and Architecture, Environmental Engineering, 2022) Tuncer, E.; Eren-Benlisoy, Z.
Our research investigates the gendered processes of labour migration of domestic and care workers (MDWs), along with their experiences of urban life in Istanbul. As an interdisciplinary urban study in concordance with ethnographic methodologies, it further focuses on gendered drivers of migration: the home, work, and social urban environments of MDWs. The significance of our study is that it contributes to analyses of Global South–South female labour migration from a gender perspective, which has emerged as a relatively new and burgeoning field in migration studies. It is also significant in that it reveals how gender inequalities are spatialised. This is done by representing the city through the digital mapping of anonymous information from MDWs concerning their use of Istanbul. Our findings state that the urban practices of MDWs are highly limited and restricted by patriarchal family structures, either remote husbands or transnational communities. The fear of being a foreign woman in Istanbul, language barriers, illegal status, and the expensive costs of socialising outdoors restricted their urban social lives as well. Furthermore, the host community sometimes stigmatises foreign women as “easily exploited”, thus, most were exposed to verbal, physical, and/or sexual harassment in public spaces, which caused women to lead secluded lives. Fearing male violence, which is widespread in Turkey, they censor themselves. In this sense, gender inequalities seem to be spatialised; this can be traced through Google My Maps based on the subjective urban narratives of MDWs. It represents how urban policies remain insufficient in responding to feminised labour migration. © 2022 University of L'Aquila, Department of Civil Construction, Building and Architecture, Environmental Engineering.

The evaluation of microbial contamination in platelet concentrates prepared by two different methods
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001) Kocazeybek, Bekir Sami; Arabaci, Ümit; Akdur, Hülya; Sezgic, Metin; Erentürk, Selim
The microbial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by two different methods both with a high risk of bacterial contamination during preparation and storage were evaluated. For apheresis platelets the concentrates were obtained using the Haemonetics MCS 3P device. For the random method platelets were obtained by two phase centrifugation in the Heraeus Cryofuge 8500 I device using the Kansuk 3-way bags which permit storage for five days. 1620 platelet pheresis units prepared by apheresis and 9838 units prepared by the random method were included in the study. Of the 11458 PCs studied 32 (0.27%) were false positives and 24 (0.2%) were real positives. All of the positive results occurred in platelets prepared by the random method. C. xerosis and S. epidermidis S. hominis Alpha-hemolytic streptococci all flora of the skin were isolated in the contaminated concentrates. The risk of microbial contamination of PCs prepared both by apheresis and from whole blood continues at a low rate although the products were collected into specific bags following rules including appropriate disinfection of the skin correct centrifugation collection time and optimal storage conditions including temperature and agitation. These results again emphasize the importance of. obeying phlebotomy rules and hand disinfection of the person who collects the blood as well as the need for careful skin decontamination of the donor during donation.

Attractiveness Differentially Affects Direct Versus Indirect Face Evaluations in Two Cultures
(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Cassidy, Brittany S.; Saribay, S. Adil; Yuksel, Huseyin; Kleisner, Karel
Although decades of research have identified facial features relating to people's evaluations of faces, specific features have largely been examined in isolation from each other. Recent work shows that considering the relative importance of these features in face evaluations is important to test theoretical assumptions of impression formation. Here, we examined how two facial features of evolutionary interest, facial attractiveness and facial-width-to-height ratio (FWHR), relate to evaluations of faces across two cultures. Because face evaluations are typically directly measured via self-reports, we also examined whether these features exert differential effects on both direct and indirect face evaluations. Evaluations of standardized photos naturally varying in facial attractiveness and FWHR were collected using the Affect Misattribution Procedure in the United States and Turkey. When their relative contributions were considered in the same model, facial attractiveness, but not FWHR, related to face evaluations across cultures. This positive attractiveness effect was stronger for direct versus indirect evaluations across cultures. These findings highlight the importance of considering the relative contributions of facial features to evaluations across cultures and suggest a culturally invariant role of attractiveness when intentionally evaluating faces.
Experimental Data Analysis of Positive Streamer-Leader Dynamics in Long Air Gaps Under Slow Front Impulse Voltages Using Machine Learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers INC., 2025) Dilawaiz, S.; Shah, W.A.; Ozdemir, A.
Knowledge of the electrical discharge characteristics under various voltage conditions is crucial to designing safer and more efficient high-voltage insulation systems. This study presents positive streamer-leader dynamics in the 10-meter rod-plane air gap under slow front positive impulse voltage having a rise time of 1000 microseconds. The realization aims to improve the knowledge of long-gap discharge behavior, which is one of the key aspects in insulation design under high-voltage engineering. The voltage and the current waveforms obtained during experiments were analyzed using a machine-learning-based polynomial regression approach. Besides such analysis, image processing was applied to high-speed camera footage to determine arc lengths for different breakdown stages. Down-sampling was applied to cope with raw data, and the regression models were evaluated in terms of mean squared error (MSE) and R-squared values. The Polynomial regression analysis showed high accuracy in terms of MSE and R-squared values. The image-based analysis demonstrated that a final jump length of nearly 10 m substantiates full leader development to the plane electrode. The results indicate that machine learning and image analysis can accurately model and quantify discharge development in long air gaps. © 2025 IEEE.

Broadband Matching Via Reflection Function Optimization
(Wiley, 2017) Şengül, Metin Y.
In this paper a practical approach is presented for designing broadband matching networks via reflection function optimization. In the proposed algorithm the input or output reflection function of the matching network is expressed in terms of three real polynomials describing the matching network load and generator reflection coefficients. Next one of the polynomials is optimized to get minimum reflection function values in the passband. Then matching network topology and element values are obtained via the formed input reflection coefficient expression. Two examples are presented to explain the usage of the new approach.

Antifungal Screening and in Silico Mechanistic Studies of an In-House Azole Library

Systemic Candida infections pose a serious public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. C. albicans is the major pathogen identified in candidiasis; however, non-albicans Candida spp. with antifungal resistance are now more prevalent. Azoles are first-choice antifungal drugs for candidiasis; however, they are ineffective for certain infections caused by the resistant strains. Azoles block ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting fungal CYP51, which leads to disruption of fungal membrane permeability. In this study, we screened for antifungal activity of an in-house azole library of 65 compounds to identify hit matter followed by a molecular modeling study for their CYP51 inhibition mechanism. Antifungal susceptibility tests against standard Candida spp. including C. albicans revealed derivatives 12 and 13 as highly active. Furthermore, they showed potent antibiofilm activity as well as neglectable cytotoxicity in a mouse fibroblast assay. According to molecular docking studies, 12 and 13 have the necessary binding characteristics for effective inhibition of CYP51. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations of the C. albicans CYP51 (CACYP51) homology model's catalytic site complexed with 13 were stable demonstrating excellent binding.

Recurrence analysis of extreme event-like data
(COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2021) Banerjee, Abhirup; Goswami, Bedartha; Hirata, Yoshito; Eroğlu, Deniz; Merz, Bruno; Kurths, Juergen; Marwan, Norbert
The identification of recurrences at various time-scales in extreme event-like time series is challenging because of the rare occurrence of events which are separated by large temporal gaps. Most of the existing time series analysis techniques cannot be used to analyze an extreme event-like time series in its unaltered form. The study of the system dynamics by reconstruction of the phase space using the standard delay embedding method is not directly applicable to event-like time series as it assumes a Euclidean notion of distance between states in the phase space. The edit distance method is a novel approach that uses the point-process nature of events. We propose a modification of edit distance to analyze the dynamics of extreme event-like time series by incorporating a nonlinear function which takes into account the sparse distribution of extreme events and utilizes the physical significance of their temporal pattern. We apply the modified edit distance method to event-like data generated from point process as well as flood event series constructed from discharge data of the Mississippi River in the USA and compute their recurrence plots. From the recurrence analysis, we are able to quantify the deterministic properties of extreme event-like data. We also show that there is a significant serial dependency in the flood time series by using the random shuffle surrogate method.
