Item The Effect of Cultural Values on Leadership Behavior: A research on Turkish and American Managers(2015) Ercan, Umit; Sigri, Unsal; 0000-0002-8870-7398; ADV-8340-2022Leadership is afield of study, which is considerably affected by the cultural differences. A large number of researchers have attempted to prove the effect of cultural differences on leadership behavior. Yet, the complex nature of the cross-cultural studies has prevented to reach definite results. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cultural values and differences on leadership behavior. To this end, the sample consisting of Turkish and American managers has been tested by using Bass and Avolio's (1997) Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ/5X) and Schwartz's (1992) Personnel Values Questionnaire (PVQ-IV). The findings of the research have showed that there are differences between Turkish and American leaders regarding cultural values, and the effects of these differences on their leadership behavior have been discussed in the conclusion section.Item The Effects of Exercise Program on Satisfaction Level in Unilateral Above Knee Amputees(2015) Anaforoglu, Bahar; Erbahceci, Fatih; Tuzun, Emine Handan; Sonmezer, EmelPurpose: To investigate the effects of exercise program performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist, on prosthetic satisfaction level in unilateral above knee amputees. Methods: 19 unilateral above knee amputees, with the mean age of 39.3+/-12.8 years were enrolled in this study. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and properties of the prostheses of the participants were recorded. All cases attended to a 10 session exercise program. They continued the exercises after the program finished. The satisfaction level of the patients concerning comfort, appearance weight of the prosthesis and walking with prosthesis were assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and 2 months after the treatment. Results: When compared pre and post-treatment results, comfort of the prosthesis (p=0.048), satisfaction with the appearence of prosthesis (p=0.01), and walking ability (p=0.033) were statistically different. Discussion: In the present study, it is demonstrated that the exercise program affected prosthetic satisfaction levels positively in unilateral above knee amputees.Item Effects of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Pain, Grip Strength, and Functionality in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomized Controlled Study(2016) Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Kirdi, Nuray; Simsek, NihalObjective: In this study, the effects of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (RESWT) on pain, grip strength, and functionality were investigated in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Methods: The study included 30 patients who were divided into two groups: RESWT and exercise and placebo RESWT and exercise. In the RESWT and exercise group, RESWT was applied at 2000 pulses, once a week, for a total of three sessions, and in the placebo RESWT and exercise group, RESWT was applied at 20 pulses, once a week, for a total of three sessions. Patients in all groups underwent stretching and eccentric strengthening exercises. Patients were evaluated before and after undergoing the treatment and at 6 and 12 weeks after undergoing the treatment using a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain intensity during palpation and gripping, dynamometer for grip strength, and patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) for functionality. Results: There were statistically significant differences between groups with respect to all parameters, except VAS during palpation (p<0.05). With time, there were more significant changes in VAS during palpation and gripping, grip strength, and PRTEE in the RESWT and exercise group compared with those in the placebo RESWT and exercise group (p<0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that using RESWT combined with other conservative treatments, mostly exercise, could be more effective.Item Üniversitelerarası Kış Oyunlarında Gazetelerde Çıkan Kadın Sporculara İlişkin Haberlerin Değerlendirilmesi(http://sem.ege.edu.tr/english/program_eng.pdf., 2011) Kara, Feyza Meryem; Erturan, Esin Esra; Yenel, Fatih; Imamoğlu, A. FaikBu araştırma, 2011 Erzurum Üniversitelerarası Kış Oyunları öncesi, esnası ve sonrasında yazılı basında çıkan kadın sporculara ilişkin fotoğraflı haberlerdeki algıyı ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada beş farklı gazetede (Cumhuriyet, Fanatik, Hürriyet, Milliyet, Posta, Zaman) çıkan kadın sporculara ilişkin haberler değerlendirilmiş, verilere nitel araştırma tekniklerinden içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verileri ?Fotoğrafın türü?, ?Haber-fotoğraf ilişkisi?, ?Başlık-haber ilişkisi?, ?Branş- fotoğraf ilişkisi?, ?Haberin içeriği? şeklinde oluşturulan beş boyuta göre yorumlanmış, bulgular literatürle karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, araştırma bulguları 2011 Erzurum Üniversite Oyunları öncesi, esnası ve sonrasında çıkan kadın sporculara ilişkin fotoğraflı haberlerde, kadın sporcuların toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin, önceki araştırmaların sonuçlarına göre, daha az ön plana çıkarıldığını göstermiştir. This research is made to reveal the perception of the news with photos about female athletes, which were covered by the media before, during and after the 2011 Winter Universiade in Erzurum. In the research, news about female athletes in five different newspapers (Cumhuriyet, Fanatik, Hürriyet, Milliyet, Posta, Zaman) are reviewed and content analysis, which is one of qualitative research techniques, is applied to data. Research data is interpreted according to the five dimensions formed as ?Type of photo?, ?News-photo relationship?, ?Title-news relationship?, ?Branch-photo relationship?, ?News content? and findings are evaluated by comparing findings with literature. As a result, research findings indicated that the gender roles of female athletes are lesser highlighted in the news covered in media before, during and after the 2011 Winter Universiade in Erzurum when compared to findings of previous studies.
