The fact that physical fitness being found poor in obese shows the existence of a condition that might constitute an increased tendency for obesity-related disorders. In addition, it was suggested that, in Turkey, attitudes toward obesity change depending on gender.

Background: In this study our aim was to determine the rate of smoking in a sample of psychiatric in-patients with diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression and to examine factors related to smoking status and the level of dependence in this population. Materials and Methods: A total of 160 people were included in this descriptive study. 80 were inpatients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression and 80 people without any psychiatric diagnoses were included as a control group. The participants were interviewed face-to face using a semi-structured questionnaire and Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence was used to define smoking habits. Results: The mean age of the participants was 37.24±12.19 years ranging from 18 to 81 years, 54.4% of the participants were (n=87) female, and 45.6% cases (n=73) were male. 70% (n=56) of the patients and 55% of the control group were smoking and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). Total score of Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence in the patient group was statistically significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.01). Conclusions: In our sample, the frequency of cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence among psychiatric inpatients was high, posing a high risk for smoking related diseases including cancers; therefore there should be counseling on tobacco control and smoking cessation programming targeting this population.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk ve kurumsal itibar algılamalarının örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerine etkisini ve kurumsal sosyal sorumluluğun örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerindeki etkisinde kurumsal itibarın aracı rolünü  analiz etmektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini Nevşehir ilinde faaliyet gösteren 4 ve 5 yıldızlı otel işletmelerinde çalışan 268 personel oluşturmaktadır. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre; kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk ve alt boyutları olan ekonomik, etik ve gönüllü sorumluluğun örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ancak kurumsal sosyal sorumluluğun alt boyutlarından hukuki sorumluluğun örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı ortaya konmuştur. Kurumsal itibarın örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, kurumsal itibarın kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk ile örgütsel özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracı rolü oynadığı tespit edilmiştir.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if there is a difference between uterine incision techniques (vertical vs. transversal) in terms of clinical results. METHODS: All women with leiomyomas who underwent open abdominal myomectomy (n=61) between March and August 2016 at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic at the Women's Health Research and Training Hospital Zekai Tahir Burak were included, and the clinical results were included and prospectively reviewed. RESULTS:The estimated blood loss during myomectomy increased in the transversal group compared with the vertical group (809.33±483.34 versus 405.32±180.95 mL, p<0.001). The average operation duration was 60 min, and the patients got discharged on the second day after surgery. No intergroup statistical differences were observed in the surgical procedure.CONCLUSIONS: Surgeons should give preference to the most viable incision depending on the size and location of the leiomyoma.
