Item The Effect of Adding Gender Item to Berlin Questionnaire in Determining Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Sleep Clinics(2015) Yuceege, Melike; Firat, Hikmet; Sever, Ozlem; Demir, Ahmet; Ardic, Sadik; 25593603BACKGROUND AND AIM: We aimed to validate the Turkish version of Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) and developped a BQ-gender (BQ-G) form by adding gender component. We aimed to compare the two forms in defining patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in sleep clinics. METHODS: Four hundred and eighty five consecutive patients, refered to our sleep clinic for snoring, witnessed apnea and/or excessive daytime sleepiness were enrolled to the study. All patients underwent in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG). Patients with sleep efficiency less than 40% and total sleep time less than 4 hours, chronic anxiolitic/sedative drug usage, respiratory tract infection within past two weeks were excluded from the study. All the patients fulfilled BQ. The test and retest for BQ were applied in 15-day interval in 30 patients. RESULTS: Totally 433 patients were enrolled to the study (285 male, 148 female). The mean age of the patients was 47,5 +/- 10.5 (21-79). 180 patients (41.6%) had apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) <= 15, while 253 patients (58,4%) had AHI > 15. The. value was 48-94 and the the truth value was 69-94% for the test-retest procedure. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV), and area under the curve AUC were 84.2%, 31.7%, 48.7%, 63.4%, and 0.579 in order for BQ and 79.9 %, 51.7%, 63.2%, 69.6%, and 0.652 for BQ-G. CONCLUSION: The results showed that BQ-G is relatively better than BQ in determining moderate to severe OSA in sleep clinics where most of the patients are sleep apneic but both of the tests were found to have insufficient validities in defining moderate to severe OSA in sleep clinics.Item Reliability and Validity Studies of Turkish Version of Extended Personal Attributes Questionnaire(2016) Demirtas-Madran, H. AndacObjective: The aim of the present study was to develop and assess validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of Extended Personal Attributes Questionnaire. Methods: A Turkish version of the questionnaire was translated from English by a bilingual person, and then independently translated back to English items by another bilingual individual. The sample consisted of 340 university students from different universities in Ankara, Turkey. In order to determine criterion validity of the scale, its correlation with the Turkish Version of Bem Sex Role Inventory was examined. Results: For determining the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and test-retest methods were used. Criterion validity of the scale and sex differences were examined. Conclusions: This study supports the six-factor model of the Turkish Version of Extended Personal Attributes Questionnaire indicated by the original study.Item Moralism, Hegemony, and Political Islam in Turkey: Gendered Portrayals in A Tv Series(2016) Cosar, Simten; Onbasi, Funda Gencoglu; 0000-0001-8211-8624; AAR-7704-2020This article offers a feminist reading of the neoliberal-conservative hegemony in Turkey through one TV series, Yepren Dusler,Fler, broadcast on a prominent pro-Islamist TV channel, Samanyolu. Drawing on research into the political effects of storytelling through mass media, we reveal the gendered working of Turkey's neoliberalconservative hegemony, which has been in effect since the late 2000s despite various shifts and relocations. Our main argument is that the gendered subjectivities represented in stories told to the public through the mass media contain important clues for exploring hegemonic constellations. They also hint at possible breaches between hegemonic allies. This article takes issue with the basic assets of the neoliberal-conservative hegemony. It also considers the transitivity between the symbolic and the real by analyzing the connection between claims to moral improvement in this TV series and neoliberal preferences in real politics.Item How Guilt/Shame Proneness and Coping Styles Are Related to Music Performance Anxiety and Stress Symptoms by Gender(2018) Coskun-Senturk, Gulce; Cirakoglu, Okan CemIn the present study, the predictive values of gender, coping strategies, and guilt/shame orientation were examined in relation to music performance anxiety (MPA) and stress symptoms among university-level Turkish music students. The sample consisted of 399 participants (244 females and 155 males) who were being trained in various instruments. Independent t-test analyses revealed that females had higher scores than males on MPA, stress, helpless and submissive coping strategies, guilt, and shame orientation. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that gender, solo concert experience, helpless and self-confident coping, and shame orientation significantly predicted MPA scores. A similar analysis revealed that gender, helpless and socially supported coping, and shame significantly predicted stress scores. Since gender was a significant predictor in the preliminary regression analyses, gender-based regression analyses were performed. These analyses indicated that, for females, solo concert experience, helpless approach, and shame predicted MPA; and helpless approach and shame orientation predicted stress scores. On the other hand, for males, solo concert experience and the helpless approach appeared as the significant predictors of MPA; and only helpless approach predicted stress scores. Findings are discussed in the light of current literature and cultural characteristics.Item Association of the Relationship Between Nutritional Status and Certain Biochemical Parameters in Obese Children(2021) Ozcelik-Ersu, Dilek; Kiziltan, GulThe prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing globally. Adiposity is more concentrated in subcutaneous tissue in women and visceral fat tissue in men. Abdominal obesity is more commonly associated with metabolic diseases in men. The results showed that the mean BMIz scores of boys was higher than girls, but total body fat was lower than girls. Total body fat free mass, water and muscle mass were higher in boys than girls. It was determined that children aged 10-17 years consumed fatty and sugary snacks and sugary drinks at school. Food consumption containing the carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat and cholesterol were higher in boys than girls. As a result, it was thought that it would be more beneficial and reliable to use anthropometric methods showing body composition together with BMI zscore while evaluating body weight in adolescents. While nutritional counseling, it may be beneficial to consider that the energy and nutrient requirements of male adolescent individuals and their daily food consumption are higher than girls. When the results of the study are evaluated, we mention that it would be appropriate to evaluate girls more carefully in terms of iron deficiency anemia and diseases such as insulin resistance and diabetes.
