Item The Effect Of Organizational Culture İn Health Services On Employee Flourishing(WORK-A JOURNAL OF PREVENTION ASSESSMENT & REHABILITATION, 2024-11-15) Cagatay, Huseyin Tolga; Demirel, Yuksel; Ertugrul, Bekir; Tekinyildiz, EsraBACKGROUND: Culture has an important role in maximizing the value of human capital, which is regarded as the main source of organizational effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: The research was conducted to determine the effect of organizational culture perceptions of healthcare professionals working in a university hospital on employee flourishing. METHODS: It is a descriptive study conducted with 299 healthcare professionals working in a university hospital. "Structured Personal Information Form", "Denison Organizational Culture Survey" and "New Flourishing Index" to collect the data. In the analysis descriptive statistical methods such as percentage, frequency, arithmetic mean and standard deviation as well as Pearson correlation, linear regression and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the relationship between variables. RESULTS: According to the results of linear regression analysis, it was determined that organizational culture and flourishing were related (F: 88.229; p < 0.05). The organizational culture alone explained 22.6% of flourishing. As a result of multiple regression analysis, it was determined that the relationship between organizational culture sub-dimensions and flourishing was significant (F = 25.975; p < 0.05). The sub-dimensions of organizational culture explained 25.1% of the flourishing. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of the study, it is observed that the perception of organizational culture of healthcare professionals has an impact on flourishing, and therefore the favorable development of organizational culture will contribute positively to employee flourishing. In present conditions, it has become a necessity for health organizations to provide the circumstances that will make all investments that will contribute positively to the flourishing of their employees a part of the organizational culture.Item Evaluation of Radioactivity Levels and Radiological Hazards of Some Endemic Plants Used as Medicine in Ankara, Turkey(2023) Guven, Aysel; Cengiz, Gulcin Bilgici; Caglar, Ilyas; Ates, Simge; 37536028In this study, natural radioactivity levels (Ra-226, Th-232, and (4) K) of some medicinal plant samples with known anti-oxidative properties, which are frequently consumed by animals and humans, were obtained from Ankara province and its surroundings (Mamak, Kizilcahamam, Beypazari, Kahramankazan, and Polatli districts) were determined using a thallium-doped sodium iodide NaI(Tl) gamma spectrometry. By using the determined natural radioactivity concentrations in the collected plant samples, the number of radiological doses that people could be exposed by consuming these plants was calculated. As a result of the study, Ra-226, Th-232, and (4) K radioactivity concentration ranges of the plant samples were found be 14.69 +/- 1.27-59.08 +/- 3.12 Bq kg(-1), 1.78 +/- 0.04-50.05 +/- 2.76 Bq kg(-1) and 207.24 +/- 34.09-826.13 +/- 25.40 Bq kg(-1), respectively. The highest Ra-226, Th-232, and (4) K activity concentrations were measured in Astragalus densifolius subsp. ayashensis (Kahramankazan), Astragalus kochakii (Kahramankazan) and Rumex patientia (Patience Dock) (Kahramankazan) plants, respectively. The lowest Ra-226, Th-232 and,(4) K activity concentration plants were determined respectively as Rumex patientia (Mamak), Lavandula angustifolia (Kizilcahamam), and Astragalus acikirensis (Polatli). The establishment and routine repetition of environmental radioactivity monitoring programs in each region are important for human and animal health, and the results of this study gain importance for Ankara and its surroundings in terms of environmental health.Item Anaesthetic Management for Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in A Patient with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Iiia(2023) Haka, D.; Cekmen, N.; 0000-0001-7448-8203Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type III is a metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in amylo-1,6-glucosidase enzyme, which is responsible for the breakdown of the glycogen molecule, resulting in glycogen accumulating in the organs, hypoglycaemia, muscle weakness, liver dysfunction, delayed anaesthetic recovery, excessive surgical bleeding, cardiomyopathy and end-organ dysfunction. This case report presents a child with GSD type IIIa who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with her mother as a donor. A multidisciplinary approach should be provided to optimise the preoperative period and minimise complications in these patients.Item Bibliometric Analysis of Articles Published in Cukurova Medical Journal Between 2011 and 2022(2023) Polat, Sema; Tunc, Mahmut; Ozsahin, Esin; Tamam, Lut; Goker, Pinar; 0000-0003-1373-4700Purpose: This study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of the abstracts and keywords in articles published in the Cukurova Medical Journal from 2011 to 2022.

For this purpose, a cross-sectional and descriptive research has been conducted. The data are collected from 513 nurses working in Ankara, Turkey, through a questionnaire survey. Independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance test and partial least squares structural equation modelling technique are employed to analyse the data. Findings indicate that nurses fear infection and experience stress-related presenteeism and burnout considerably. However, they perceive slightly inadequate level of organisational support. Fear of infection has resulted in stress-related presenteeism and burnout. Stress-related presenteeism has mediated the relationship between fear of infection and burnout. Perceived organisational support has negatively related to fear of infection and its negative consequences. In this research, to our knowledge, for the first time, the burnout, stress-related presenteeism, fear of infection and perceived organisational support levels of nurses are compared according to the pandemic-related criteria. Besides, the mediating role of nurses' stress-related presenteeism between their fear of contracting COVID-19 and burnout is discovered.Item Temperature dependence of the piezoelectric resonance frequency in relation to the anomalous strain near the incommensurate phase of quartz(2021) Ates, S; Yurtseven, H.The temperature dependence of the piezoelectric resonance frequency is analyzed by the power-law formula in the vicinity of the critical temperature of the incommensurate (INC) phase in quartz using the experimental data from the literature. By considering the piezoelectric resonance frequency as an order parameter of the INC phase, correlation between the piezoelectric resonance frequency and the strain is constructed, which both decrease linearly with increasing temperature toward T-c in quartz. Our results can explain dynamics of the ordering mechanism in the INC phase (within a very narrow temperature interval between the alpha and beta phases of quartz) and suggest a second order transition from INC to the beta phase in quartz.Item Calculation of the damping constant and the relaxation time of the LA mode in the incommensurate phase of quartz(2021) Ates, S.; Yurtseven, H.The damping constant (linewidth) of the LA mode is calculated as a function of temperature for the incommensurate (INC) phase of quartz by using the models of the pseudospin-phonon (PS) coupled and the energy fluctuation (EF). For this calculation, the observed linewidth (Gamma(LA)) data are used at P = 0 and 80.5MPa from the literature. Close to the incommensurate phase between the alpha and beta phases of quartz, the observed Gamma(LA) and the frequency shifts (Delta v(LA) ) are also analyzed by the power-law formula for both pressures (P = 0 and 80.5MPa). By using the Gamma(LA) and Delta v(LA), the inverse relaxation time (tau(-1)(LA)) is predicted as a function of temperature (P = 0 and 80.5MPa) in the incommensurate phase of quartz and the values of the activation energy (E-a) are deduced. Our calculated Gamma(LA) from both models (PS and EF) explain adequately the observed behavior of the linewidth of the LA mode in the incommensurate phase of quartz. Also, our predicted tau(-1)(LA) can be compared with the measurements in the INC phase of this molecular crystal.Item Factors Affecting Nurses' Professional Commitment During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study(2021) Duran, Secil; Celik, Isa; Ertugrul, Bekir; Ok, Serife; Albayrak, Sevil; 33794061Aim This study aims to investigate the factors affecting nurses' professional commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Background Commitment to a profession requires doing the best for that profession. In the case of the nursing profession, professional commitment gains greater importance in times of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with 389 nurses in the Turkish state hospital. Institutional permissions, ethical approval and written consents from the participants were obtained before carrying out the study. Results The participants' mean Perceived Organizational Obstruction Scale score was 20.07 +/- 8.06 (min = 5.0, max = 35.0), and their mean Nursing Professional Commitment Scale score was 71.20 +/- 11.94 (min = 30.0, max = 103.0). Socio-demographic variables and perception of organisational obstruction predicted 36.7% of the variance in the professional commitment (p < .001). Conclusion A road map based on the study results was developed for hospitals and nurse managers to maintain and increase nurses' professional commitment. Implications for Nursing Management The results of this study may help institutions and nurse managers understand the factors affecting professional commitment during the pandemic as a whole, as well as determine primary strategies based on the importance of these factors.Item Analysis of the IR-Raman Modes and the Heat Capacity Near the alpha-Inc-beta Transitions in Quartz(2021) Yurtseven, H.; Gunay, E.; Karacali, H.; Ates, S.This study gives our analysis for the temperature dependence of the infrared frequency and the integrated intensity of the 695 cm(-1) mode near the alpha-beta transition at 847.5 K and the temperature dependence of the Raman scattering cross section of the 355 cm(-1) mode near the beta-INC (incommensurate) transition which occurs within a small temperature (similar to 1.3 K) interval in relation to the order parameter in quartz. Both analyses are performed according to a power-law formula for the order parameter Q with the critical index beta using the experimental data from the literature. We also analyze the temperature dependence of the heat capacity C p according to the renormalization-group expression including first-order corrections to scaling term close to the alpha-INC-beta transitions in quartz by using the literature data. From our analyses, values of the critical exponent beta for the frequency and the integrated intensity of the 695 cm(-1) infrared mode and for the Raman scattering cross section of the 355 cm(-1) mode as a measure of the order parameter, are extracted. From the analysis of C p , the values of the critical exponent alpha are also extracted. Additionally, by means of scaling relations the critical exponent gamma of the isothermal compressibility kappa T and the renormalized components ( beta R , alpha R and gamma R ) are predicted for the alpha-INC-beta transitions in quartz. Our analyses given here indicate that weakly first-order transition occurs from the alpha phase to the incommensurate (INC) phase, which changes to the nearly second-order transition to the beta phase with increasing temperature in quartz, as also observed experimentally.Item Landau phenomenological model for the alpha-INC (incommensurate)-beta transition in quartz(2021) Yurtseven, Hamit; Ates, SimgeThe temperature dependence of the order parameters eta (alpha-phase) and xi (INC - incommensurate phase) are calculated in the presence of the electric field for the alpha-INC-beta transition in quartz by the Landau mean field theory. Landau phenomenological model with the linear (eta xi) and quadratic (eta(2)xi(2)) coupling is introduced to investigate mainly the nature of the INC phase between alpha (ordered) and beta (disordered) phases in quartz. The temperature dependence of the inverse susceptibilities (chi(-1h)(eta) and chi(-1)(xi)) of the order parameter is also predicted at constant electric fields studied for the alpha-INC-beta transition in quartz. Additionally, the E-T phase diagram for the transitions of the alpha-INC and INC-beta in quartz is constructed from the Landau phenomenological model by using the literature data. Our predictions for the order parameters (eta and xi) and the inverse susceptibilities (chi(-1)(eta) and chi(-1)(xi)) can be compared with the experimental measurements for the alpha-INC-beta transition in quartz.
