This study aimed to determine haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in bloodstains shed on glass and fabric surfaces on specified test dates. Blood samples were taken from 26 patients (13 diabetic and 13 non-diabetic). Initial HbA1c levels were detected by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and bloodstains were created on both cotton fabric and glass surfaces. Samples were processed at different ages (0, 7, 14, 28 and 56 days) by diluting distilled water and then measuring HbA1c levels by HPLC again. In all stains, HbA1c levels could be determined by using HPLC, but there was a moderate rise in accordance with the age of the stains. A statistically significant difference was found for bloodstains on clothes compared to those on glass surfaces. Receiver operating curve analysis found a sensitivity of 1.0 and specificity of 0.923 (cut-off 6.55) for glass surfaces on the seventh day; a sensitivity of 1.0, a specificity of 0.846 (cut-off 6.45) for clothes on the seventh day; a sensitivity of 1.0 and a specificity of 0.923 (cut-off 6.85) for clothes on the 56th day; and a sensitivity of 1.0 and a specificity of 0.846 (cut-off 7.55) for glass surfaces on the 56th day. In conclusion, this study found that HbA1c levels could be measured with high reliability from forensic bloodstains by using HPLC. Thus, in cases where DNA data banks cannot identify individuals, it would make sense to turn to those who have a medical history of diabetes among the suspects with the results of high HbA1c levels.
This study aims to understand the role of the leadership styles of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in European Union-Turkey relations by conducting a Leadership Trait Analysis (LTA), which takes into account the leaders’ personalities in foreign policy. The article makes use of the verbal records of the two leaders regarding the bilateral relations between their countries and the European Union. The results unveil that the two leaders’ personal characteristics bear similarities to a considerable extent; i.e., both leaders are sceptical in inter-personal relations, discernibly intuitive, self-confident and so forth. The study suggests that those personal traits of the leaders which have occasionally outweighed crude rationality have been some of the important factors enabling the sustainability of relations between Turkey and the EU against all odds.
Politikası'nı (AKP) oluşturduktan sonra belirlediği Doğu komşuları ile olan ilişkilerini ve bu ilişkilerin günümüzdeki durumu ve ilişkilerin geleceği konusunda çeşitli analizler içermektedir. AKP'nin oluşturulma nedenleri, siyasi açıdan gelişim süreci, politikanın boyutları, araçları ve amaçları da açıklanmaktadır. Öte yandan, AB'nin Doğu komşuları ile olan ilişkilerinde Rusya Federasyonu'nun (RF) etkisi tarihsel, ekonomik ve toplumsal bağları açısından öne çıkmaktadır. AB'nin Doğu komşuları amaçlarını gerçekleştirebilmeleri açısından AB ve RF arasında bir tercih yapmak zorunda kalmaları veya karşılaştıkları ikilemler AKP'nin gidişatını belirleyen en önemli faktörlerdendir. Bu bağlamda, Doğu Avrupa ülkelerinin AB ve RF ile olan karşılıklı bağımlılıkları da önem taşımaktadır. 2015 yılında Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından yayımlanan AKP belgesinde doğu Avrupa ülkelerinin siyasi önceliklerine dayalı olarak AKP'nin güncellenmesi gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Yeni yaklaşıma göre, işbirliğine ve bütünleşmeye günümüzde fazla istekli olmayan Doğu komşuları ile olan ilişkilerinde AB "koşulluluk politikası" yerine daha çok "farklılaştırma" ve "esneklik" politikaları benimseyecektir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada AKP'nin hangi yöne doğru ve nasıl evirileceği konusunda bir süreç analizi yapılmaktadır.
