Sampling of the research is based on four hundred teachers working in Sakarya. Data was obtained through Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, Cook and Wall Institutional Job Commitment Questionnaire and Motivation Questionnaire as well as three questions determining gender, branch and educational status were used. At the end of the research it was found that administration motivated teachers in a positive way and teachers were committed to the institutions. It is also found out that the level of motivation affects the institutional commitment and the level of institutional commitment changes according to motivation given by the administration. The level of motivation also affects the job satisfaction and high motivation causes high job satisfaction whereas low motivation leads to low job satisfaction. The level of job satisfaction affects the institutional commitment and teachers having high job satisfaction show high institutional commitment. The difference between branch variations and level of job satisfaction has been found and branch teachers were observed to have higher job satisfaction than form teachers. It has been found out that gender, branch and educational status doesn't affect teachers' motivation and their institutional commitment.

An assessment instrument from the HR Value Proposition Model was applied to faculty members. The assessment tool from the HR Value Proposition Model was adapted to the higher education environment. The HR value-added model consists of 14 criteria in order to evaluate the perceptions of faculty members. The results indicate that a value-added roles model for higher education institutions requires a re-definition of HR roles, the development of new competencies, and the implementation of new approaches and outcomes accountability.

For this purpose, related literature was reviewed and an item pool was prepared from the literature obtained and was presented to educational sciences and Turkish Language experts to be viewed. After the review of the experts, some of the items were eliminated and some of them had been rewritten. The participants of the study were expected to give answers for items given on a scale ranging from Totally Disagree, Disagree, No Idea, Agree and Totally Agree. The pilot study of the questionnaire was applied to 100 classroom teachers and final form of questionnaire was shaped. The questionnaires were distributed to 1000 instructors and 779 questionnaires have been returned. Factor analysis was then done to determine the structure validity. Because of the modular structre of the scale, factor analysis was done seperately for each subtest which can be defined within the superstructure (Teacher Autonomy) and are relevant in and of themselves. The reliability of the scale has been analyzed through Cronbach’s Alpha Value and the scale was found to be reliable. It shows that the scale can be applied to determine the level of awareness of classroom teachers as it applies to teacher autonomy.

Denemede, %25, %30 ve %35 kuru madde (KM) içeren yaş şeker pancarı posası (YŞPP)-kepek karışımından oluşan üç silaj ve ayrıca bir grup da mısır silajı hazırlanmıştır. Hazırlanan bu silajlar 5 tokluda her gruptan yemin tüm hayvanlar tarafından tüketebilmesini sağlayacak şekilde dizayn edilip, klasik sindirim denemesi kullanılarak hayvanlara yedirilmiştir. Hayvanların KM ve organik madde (OM) tüketimleri, gerek gr/gün ve gerekse hayvanın canlı ağırlığının yüzdesi olarak YŞPP tüketenlerin mısır silajı tüketenlere oranla yüksek bulunmuştur. (P<0.05). Ham protein (HP), ham selüloz (HS) ve ham yağ (HY) tüketimleri OM tüketimine benzer şekilde bulunmuştur. Silajlara ait OM sindirimleri istatistiksel olarak benzer bulunup,%25 KM içeren YŞPP'ye ait OM sindirimi diğerlerine oranla yüksek olma eğiliminde olduğu görülmüştür. (P=0.16). YŞPP silajlarının HP sindirilebilirlikleri ve %25 KM içeren YŞPP silajının HS sindirimi MS'a ait HP ve HS sindirimin değerlerinden daha yüksek olduğu görülmektedir (P<0.05). Gruplar arası HY sindirimleri benzer olarak belirlenmiştir. MS tüketen hayvanların vücudunda biriken azot miktarı %25 KM içeren YŞPP'li silajı tüketenlere oranla belirgin oranda düşük bulunmuştur (P<0.05). Sonuç olarak, hazırlanan YŞPP silajlarının her üçü de gerek hayvanlara verildiğinde tüketim ve gerekse sindirilebilirliklerinin en az kaliteli bir mısır silajına benzer veya daha iyi olduğu görülmüştür. Bu üç silaj içersinde, hayvanların günlük tüketim miktarı ve sindirilebilirlik dikkate alındığında, %25 KM içeren YŞPP silajının en iyi silaj olduğu söylenebilir.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted between September 2011 and May 2012 and included 44 women that applied to our department with complaints of irregular menstruation and hirsutism, who were diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and met the inclusion criteria. A control group of 44 healthy volunteer women were included as controls. We compared these two groups in terms of plasma fasting glucose levels, lipid and hormone profiles, C- reactive protein (CRP), insulin, homocysteine, interleukin-18 levels and of carotid artery intima-media thickness. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of demographic features such as age, height, weight, body mass index, waist to hip circumference ratio (p>0.05). Plasma IL-18 levels were higher in the study group. In addition, carotid artery intima-media thickness measurements were significantly higher in the study group (p 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrated that both increased plasma IL-18 levels and increased carotid artery intima-media thickness measurements may be useful parameters for prediction of cardiovascular disease development in patients with PCOS. If future studies with larger sample sizes also report similar findings, we believe that these parameters could be routinely used to determine the cardiovascular risk in these patients.

Abstract Text: Lactation trials showed improved production and N efficiency when dietary soybean ... more Abstract Text: Lactation trials showed improved production and N efficiency when dietary soybean meal was replaced with equal CP from canola meal. Three canola meal samples were collected from each of 12 Canadian production plants over 2 years (total = 72) and analyzed for chemical composition and ruminal protein degradability. The Michaelis-Menten inhibitor in vitro method was used to quantify protein degradation rates and rumen-undegraded protein (RUP), assuming passage rates of 0.16/h and 0.06/h for soluble and insoluble proteins. Differences among plants were assessed using the SAS Mixed model; LS-means for plants over both years, and for each year, are reported in the table. Although CP concentration and NDIN and RUP proportions were unaffected by year (P ≥ 0.21), NDF and soluble N were lower (P ≤ 0.01) in canola meal produced in 2011 than 2012. Proportions of NDIN ranged from 18 to 28% of total N but were unaffected by plant (P = 0.15). However, differences were detected among...

Similar cows were allotted duplicate drylots. All cows were fed hay as necessary to maintain a body condition score of 5. Cows grazing corn crop residues with or without berseem clover required 2596 pounds less hay per cow than cows maintained in a drylot. There was no difference in the amounts of hay required by cows grazing corn crop residues alone or with berseem clover. Initial organic matter yield of berseem clover was nearly that of corn crop residues and did not decrease as rapidly as corn crop residues. Berseem clover had a higher organic matter digestibility than corn crop residues at the initiation of grazing. Organic matter digestibility of berseem clover, however, decreased more rapidly than corn crop residues because of weathering during the winter.

A case-control study was performed at a tertiary referral hospital between years 2007-2013. Singleton pregnancies in the first trimester (11(+0) -13(+6) week) who had a history of PCOS and underwent first trimester combined aneuploidy screening test were included in the study. Three hundred and seventeen women met the criteria for inclusion. Control group was formed by 942 healthy pregnant women with similar gestational and maternal ages using a 1 : 3 ratio. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (fβ-hCG) and fetal nuchal translucency were compared between the study group and the controls. The biochemical components PAPP-A and fβ-hCG were significantly lower in the PCOS group compared with the control group (p = 0.001). There was no difference among groups with regard to the nuchal translucency measurements (p = 0.128). Our study shows that the levels of biochemical components of first trimester combined aneuploidy screening test (PAPP-A and fβ-hCG) are altered in pregnant women with PCOS. Future trials of larger scale are needed to asses any need for readjustment of the risk in the patient population with PCOS.

Methods A case-control study was performed between 1 December 2010 and 1 February 2012, at a tertiary referral hospital. Singleton pregnancies with inherited thrombophilia that underwent second trimester (16-19 ?6 week) combined aneuploidy screening test were included in the study. Maternal serum alfa fetoprotein, unconjugated estriol, human chorionic gonadotropin levels and multiple of median (MoM) levels were compared between the study group and controls. Results Within the study period, 18,943 women with singleton pregnancies had a combined second trimester aneuploidy screening test at our institution. Among these, 26 women met the criteria of thrombophilia. A control group that comprised 275 women with similar gestational age was generated, using a 1:1 ratio. Unconjugated estriol MoM levels were significantly lower in women with inherited thrombophilia (p = 0.02). But there was no statistically significant difference for unconjugated estriol levels, human chorionic gonadotropin, alfa fetoprotein and their MoM levels. Conclusions Our study suggest that in patients with hereditary thrombophilia a new correction factor should be used, when calculating unconjugated estriol MoM value, which is one of the markers of second trimester aneuploidy screening test.

Material and Methods: A total of 11 587 pregnancies were reviewed retrospectively from patient medical records. Singleton pregnancies greater than 24 weeks of gestation were included. The study group consisted of women ≥40 years old at the time of delivery, and the control group consisted of women aged between 20 and 30 years old. Data regarding age, parity, gestational age, mode of delivery, and obstetric and neonatal complications were collected. Firstly, pregnancies ≥40 years and the younger control group were compared altogether with respect to the obstetric and neonatal complications. Secondly, both groups were divided into subgroups according to parity, and a second comparison was made with controls. Results: Mean maternal age in the study and control groups was 43±2.2 and 24±2.8 years, respectively. In women ≥40 years old, all of the investigated obstetric and neonatal complications except postpartum haemorrhage and foetal malformations were higher when compared to younger controls (p<0.05). In the nulliparous ≥40 year old group, the most significant complications were preterm delivery (45.3%), low 5-minute Apgar score (15.2%), and neonatal intensive care unit admission (15.2%). On the other hand, in the multiparous group, preeclampsia (16.6%), abruptio placentae (5.1%), foetal demise (7.2%), and macrosomia (9.6%) were found to be significantly higher when compared to controls. Conclusion: The study suggests that pregnancies of maternal age ≥40 years carry increased risks for both neonatal and obstetric complications, and these risks seem to be effected by parity.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the value of endometrial blood flow assessment in predicting type 2 endometrial carcinoma. Material and Methods: Sixty-five consecutive post-menopoausal women who had vaginal bleeding were enrolled in the study. All subjects were directed to transvaginal sonography to determine endometrial blood flow and underwent endometrial biopsy. Doppler findings were analysed to predict endometrial pathology. Subjects with unsatisfactory Doppler analyses were excluded from the study. Results: Mean age of the study population was 50.1±6.9 years (42-73). Mean endometrial thickness was 10.1±2.9 mm (4-15 mm) and mean cancer antigen 125 (CA125) level was 20.1±17.4 U/mL (3-92). Histopathological evaluation revealed 14 cases of type 2 endometrial cancer and 18 cases of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, while the other 33 cases had normal endometrial tissue. CA125 (Area under curve (AUC)=0.853, p=0.000), spiral artery resistance index (AUC=0.905, p=0.000), and spiral artery peak systolic velocity (AUC=0.822, p=0.000) were significant predictors for the type 2 endometrial cancer cases. Endometrial thickness did not significantly predict pathologic cases (p>0.05). Hyperplasia cases were not predicted by any of these diagnostic modalities (p>0.05). Conclusion: In patients with postmenopausal bleeding, spiral artery Doppler ultrasound, could play a role in refining the diagnosis of type 2 endometrial carcinoma; however, its predictive value should be evaluated with further studies.

The aim of this study was to compare oxidative stress in pregnancies with and without iron supplementation in the first trimester pregnancies. One hundred and eight women in the first trimester of normal pregnancies were randomly assigned to three groups. Patients were grouped as following: Group 1 received placebo (n = 36), group 2 received folate supplementation (n = 36) and group 3 was directed to the iron supplementation (n = 36). Oxidative stress was assessed at 14th week of gestation by the utilization of serum γ-glutamyl transferase level. Pregnancies were followed until delivery. Relationship between the oxidative stress and pregnancy outcome was assessed among groups. Mean age was similar among groups, mean gravidity and parity were significantly lower in group with Fe supplementation (p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.05). Maternal weight and weight gain during pregnancy were also significantly lower in group 3 (p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.05). Mean serum albumin levels were similar among groups while serum γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels were significantly higher in group 3. There were 10 cases of oligohydramnios in group 3, two cases in group 2 and no cases in group 1 (p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.001). Iron supplementation during first trimester pregnancy was found to be associated with an increased oxidative stress.

In this study, both state and trait anxiety levels of college administrators were assessed and the administrators were compared based on their anxiety levels. For the purpose of assessing state and trait anxiety levels, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) adapted to Turkish by LeCompte and Oner (1975) was used. The sample of the study included 72 college administrators who were working in Turkish state and private universities in different regions of the country. Results showed significant correlation between the state and trait anxiety levels. No significant difference was found based on gender, age, administrative level, or tenure. However, the direction of the differences was similar to those of the previous studies. Results are discussed and suggestions are given.

Kura clover was harvested from four different plots at 14 d intervals and analyzed for neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude protein (CP), acid detergent insoluble nitrogen (ADIN), and in vitro digestible dry matter (IVDMD), and in situ digestion kinetics of N. Crude protein concentrations decreased, but ADIN concentrations increased with later date of harvest. Digestible N pool-size and the rate of digestion was the lowest in third-harvest kura clover. Although the proportion of protein that is soluble or nondigestible increased, proportion of protein that is potentially digestible decreased with maturity.

Methods: The present study, conducted at Solhan State Hospital, Bingol, Turkey, between July and August 2013 recruited 82 healthy and otherwise normal pregnant women with a gestational age of 29 weeks or more who were fasting for at least 20 days. The control group comprised 87 healthy non-fasting women matched for maternal age, parity, gestational age. Fetal parameters were measured at the beginning and the end of the fasting month. Perinatal outcomes were compared between the groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in fetal biometry, fetal Doppler parameters, or neonatal outcomes. In the fasting group, however, there was a significantly greater decrease in amniotic fluid index during the fasting period (P b 0.001). The number of women who initially had a normal amniotic fluid measurement and subsequently developed oligohydramnios was also significantly higher in the religious fasting group (P b 0.05). Conclusion: Fetal development, Doppler parameters, and neonatal outcomes were not significantly affected in healthy fasting women; however, there was a significant association between fasting and amniotic fluid index. These findings mandate more frequent follow-up visits for this group of women.
