Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) constitute the majority of the most common osteoporotic fractures. Bone density measurements can affect treatment methods and outcomes. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of osteoporosis values, measured from direct radiographs, on fracture type, surgical outcomes. Methods: 248 patients over 50 years of age who presented to Mersin City Hospital between 2017 and 2020 with proximal humeral fractures were retrospectively evaluated. The age and gender of the patients and the fracture types were evaluated according to the AO classification system from the direct radiographs obtained at the time of admission were recorded. The Tingart cortical thickness and deltoid tuberosity index (DTI) measurements were used to assess osteoporosis status in all patients. Postoperative and follow-up radiographs of 45 patients, treated with fixed-angle proximal humeral locking plate, were evaluated for radiographic results and their correlations with osteoporosis measurements were examined. Results: According to the demographic characteristics of the patients, 171 patients were female and 77 patients were male (F/M: 3/1), and mean age was 69.2 ± 11.66 (50-95). Considering the bone quality parameters in all patients, the mean Tingart value was 5.8 ± 1.6 mm and the mean DTI was 1.43 ± 0.17, where there was a correlation between the Tingart value and DTI (r = 0.810 and p < 0.001). Although there was a statistically significant relationship between the osteoporosis parameters and age and gender (p < 0.001 and p = 0.023, respectively), main AO fracture types were not related to osteoporosis (p < 0.05). In the operated group (n = 48, 19%), 19 patients (42%) showed poor outcomes, which were not associated with age and osteoporosis parameters. Conclusion: This study was concluded that osteoporosis parameters differ between genders and age groups in patients with PHF, however osteoporosis is not the main factor affecting the fracture type and surgical outcomes.

In today's world, second language/foreign language has gained a great importance.Whatever sector people work in, they feel the need to learn one or even a second foreign language. The importance of the foreign language teaching has increased in our time in which knowing a foreign language has deviated from being a specialty and become a feature that everyone must have. In language teaching, variables such as the pedagogical competency of the teacher, strategies and methods implemented throughout the process, and making the environment interesting for the students hold great importance. The more the activity environment has stimuli, the more lasting the learning become. For that purpose, teachers must know the characteristics of the learners very well and must enrich the learning environment with different techniques and materials in accordance with the environment facilities.In this study, it is aimed to determine the language teaching strategies and class practices of the teachers who teach students of foreign origin in Turkey Turkish as a foreign language. To that end, interview and observation forms have been prepared. The content analysis of the data obtained with interview and observation forms has been conducted in the scope of qualitative research approach.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının Türkçenin güncel sorunları üzerine görüşlerini değerlendirmektir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımı çerçevesinde görüşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma Erciyes Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi'nde öğrenimlerini sürdüren 72 Türkçe öğretmeni adayından oluşan çalışma grubu üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubu, amaçlı ve kümeleme örnekleme yöntemleriyle oluşturulmuştur. Öğretmen adaylarının kişisel nitelikleriyle ilgili bilgilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntem; görüşme soruları ile elde edilen verilerin analizinde ise, nitel araştırma veri analiz biçimlerinden içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, çalışma grubundaki öğretmen adayları Türkçenin en önemli sorunlarını "Türkçenin özensiz ve yanlış kullanımı, (% 39)", "Yabancı sözcük kullanımı/yabancı dil tutkusu ya da özentisi, (% 29)" ve "Öğretmen faktörü, öğretmen yetiştirme programlarındaki sıkıntılar, Türkçe öğrenimi ve öğretimindeki yetersizlik (% 14)" şeklinde ilk üç sırada belirtmişlerdir.
